  • Comment: It may be argued that my review of the al-Majdhub article was minimal, since I only intervened to point out that it was ungrammatical. If this is the case, I will jump in to review another.

Overall: @Dahn: Good article. But, i'm confused on what the hook is saying at "published Romanian verse in Georgian script?" Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

• @Onegreatjoke: Romanian was written in Cyrillic at that stage, and in Latin now. The man was publishing books in Georgian, with Georgian script, and added a poem with Romanian -- probably the only time in history that Romanian was written in Georgian script.

I guess that's good then. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Capitalization

Dahn, discussing here per WP:BRD. Georgian script may be unicameral, but that doesn't mean stepanes shvils should be rendered all in lowercase, unless (per MOS:LCITEMS) the transliteration is rendered that way regularly in reliable third-party sources. Absent that, per MOS:PERSONAL, it should be rendered as Stepanes Shvils. A quick check of a dozen people from Category:17th-century people from Georgia (country) doesn't find any other instances where the romanized form of a Georgian name is rendered all lowercase. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 11:27, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Tcr25 Well alright then. Dahn (talk) 11:34, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
