This page has been mentioned by a media organization:

Rebecca Onion (November 18, 2022). "The Ancient Absurdities of Ancient Apocalypse". Slate (magazine). Retrieved April 5, 2023. Oddly enough—and I know journalists might bristle at what I say—Wikipedia is the very best source. It's maintained by nerds, and archaeology Wikipedia is maintained by archaeology nerds, and the articles on it are good! I have a feeling they'll get even better because of this series, because people will want to make sure the information is in there for viewers who may be Googling it.

Karahan Tepe worst sourced archaeological article ever?

Here's the version I looked at an hour or so ago. I've cleaned up some, must remove Miniminuteman also. And maybe others. So far I've only found one decent source, "A New Early-Neolithic Settlement: Karahan Tepe" by Bahattin Qelik (University of Harran) [1] published in [2]. User:Joe Roe perhaps you can help? I'm not sure I have time. Doug Weller talk 10:05, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Machu Picchu at peer review

User:JustEMV has taken the article on Machu Picchu to peer review, with the goal of preparing the article for GA and perhaps FA. I'm in the process of reviewing the page (slowly) and over views would be useful. It is the 4th most-read article within the project's remit so it's important to get right.
