  • @Elias Ziade: New enough, long enough, fully cited to RS. QPQ is done. Both hooks are cited and interesting—I cannot decide which one is more interesting. I assume the first hook is your preference? If so, I would suggest dropping "orientalist" to make it less wordy. Al Ameer (talk) 15:40, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but both his birthdate and deathdate are uncited. Yoninah (talk) 22:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: thank you for pointing this out. I added two more refs in addition to Gran-Aymerich which is not accessible online. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 11:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Elie plus: Thank you. Please note that there is no reason to add uncontroversial cites to the lead if the text is repeated in the body of the article. It is also unnecessary to pile up cites at the end of a sentence, making it difficult to determine which cite verifies what. I've removed the cites from the lead and added a few next to his birthdate. Restoring tick per Al Ameer son's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:51, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
