Barely long enough and new enough. I don't see 1825 or The date of its construction signifies the time around when the commercial centre of Prilep shifted from the Varoš area below Marko's Towers to the plain further below through which the Prilep River passes. in the given sources. Need to AGF on some of the other sources. Some of them also need a format cleanup. Randomly Googling some sentences finds no plagiarism or copyvio. Hook is moderately interesting and seems to be supported by several sources. The other linked articles don't seem to be too bad. QPQ and images are fine.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: "In the course of the 15th century the town of Prilep shifted from its old site on the hill below the castle to the plain below where the main road passed... The new site was better situated for the development of a commercial and trading centre than the old place which declined slowly... known as Prilip - Varos. The new town is about three km south, built on both sides of a small river. An important date for the transfer of Prilep to the new site is that on the inscription of the Carsi Camii which gives 881 (1476/77). The new places witnessed a slow development in the 16th and 17 centuries..." found on page 167 of Some Little-Known Monuments of Ottoman Turkish Architecture in the Macedonian Province. Removed 1825 as I cannot find it in the sources, must've gotten it from the MK version. Thanks. --Local hero ^talk 15:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might want to rewrite the sentence a bit - as it stands it's a bit too similar to the source. Also, some reference errors need to be fixed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:07, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: fixed the ref errors. Also, tweaked that paraphrasing a bit. Thanks. --Local hero ^talk 18:36, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On my end, the software is still complaining about cite journal templates that lack the |= journal parameter. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:43, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Hmm that is strange, I've checked on mobile and desktop, on different browsers, and logged in and out, and I'm not seeing any error text. --Local hero ^talk 17:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that error message displays for everybody ( {{cite journal}}: Empty citation (help): Cite journal requires) but I don't think it's essential. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
