Observations

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• The link to Megillah 18 is not a link. The correct link appears to be to Brewster's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.
• Reading Wasserstein on page 257, it is not directly clear about the attribution to Santob de Carrion.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• Please show references and text for Al-Raghib al-Isfahani and the 9th-century writer Al-Jahiz

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• Page created on 27 October 2020
• Page has receive 67 edits by 13 editors
• 90 day page gives tally of 6511 daily views, with an average of 72 views per day
• Page considered stable, no edit wars noted

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• Sartor resartus; = public domain: copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1926

1. Overall:

• May we attend to the issues raised above? --Whiteguru (talk) 10:54, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

  Whiteguru, Quick clarification: what do you mean by "Please show references and text for Al-Raghib al-Isfahani and the 9th-century writer Al-Jahiz? This is referenced to Wasserstein's article, pages 244–247.

• As for Megillah, this wasn't added by me. I don't understand this term and I asked the editor who added it, User:Paulaszi0, to clarify it, but they are not very active. If they don't reply I guess we can revert their addition. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:25, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

• Piotrus I found the mention of Brewster in the source cited. If you can simply follow that and update the reference? Thank you. --Whiteguru (talk) 08:30, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

  Whiteguru, Forgive me, but I don't track, maybe I am tired. Can you link the page / source which mentions Brewster? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:43, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
