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

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]
