Interesting article. The hook is discussed in the article within the sub-section. Overall, no issues of copyright violation and much of the article has been sourced with citations. Good to go. - Toadboy123 (talk) 02:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I created this article about this interesting magazine and filled information in it possibly from every single English source available; very few Arabic sources available on the internet, although many exist but inaccessible to me. Maybe there is room for more improvement, or pictures of any of the editors or further information that I couldn't find. Tagging possibly interested editors: @Zero0000:, @Huldra:, @Oncenawhile:, @Iskandar323:, @Al Ameer son:. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

And @JDiala: since you are interested in the grammatical parts. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Makeandtoss Thank-you for the article! A couple of sources are missing from the bibliography – Khalaf (2009) and Bracy (2011). I also made these two edits to fix other reference-related errors and you might want to check that I didn't make a mistake. If you use {{harv}} / {{sfn}} references a lot I can highly recommend installing this script, which highlights any missing/duplicate source problems for you.

@Wham2001: Thanks for the edits, the note and the tip. I have added the two missing sources. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
