Here are my comments: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:50, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• The Wignacourt Arch known as the Fleur-De-Lys Gate Italics is typically used for foreign language terms. This should probably use bold or inverted commas

Original arch

• Source for 1st para?
• Place ref. 1 at the end of the line if it supports the whole line. As of now it is not clear what it is the source for.
• Consider using Template:Multiple image for the two images of the plaque writing.
• Combine the last line in "Destruction" with the first para of the subsection
• "Fountain" looks too common to be linked

Reconstruction

• A plaque with the coat of arms of Birkirkara and the following inscription was installed to commemorate the reconstruction Source?

• @Sainsf: I just edited the article and made most of the above changes. I have a couple of comments:

• re the lead, I was actually unsure regarding which wording to use. Could the article start The Wignacourt Arch known as the Fleur-De-Lys Gate (Maltese: L-Arkata ta' Wignacourt magħrufa bħala l-Bieb ta' Fleur-De-Lys) is an ornamental arch..., since the two names currently in bold are both parts of the official name?

• Yes, that looks like a much better start.

• Ref 1 is placed after "Baroque" since it was the only source I could find which describes the archway as Baroque.

• Alright.

• I cannot find a source regarding the plaque commemorating the reconstruction, but the plaque is pictured in the article so I don't really see the need for a source in this case.

• It is pictured, but a source is needed nevertheless. Analyzing things from an image may even look like WP:SYN to some. You should consider finding a source or omitting this part.

Thanks for taking time to review this article. Best regards, Xwejnusgozo (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: I changed the lead as stated above. Regarding the plaque, I don't think any source is available (it was only installed just over a month ago). Since the two original plaques are also included in the article, I saw no reason not to include it. I don't see how the plaque is WP:SYN; it is just a copy of the text of the plaque (clearly visible in the image) and a translation from Maltese to English, and I did not use the text to make any conclusions etc. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 15:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, I see. If there are no sources available yet for something evident we can allow for this, just be on a lookout for sources to support this as it won't be god to have this littered with "citation needed" tags. Alright, I think this can be promoted now. Good job! Sainsf (talk · contribs) 15:27, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
