Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
[edit]
The mosque
- ... that the second holiest mosque of Islam, the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi was built by Muhammad on a burial ground?
Improved to Good Article status by Royroydeb (talk). Self-nominated at 07:24, 19 December 2015 (UTC).
Also a Good Article, fair enough and no edit war. D'SuperHero (talk) 08:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
New reviewer needed; the same person is not supposed to review a DYK nomination if they reviewed the GA nomination (see WP:DYKSG#H2). Note to D'SuperHero: even if you had been eligible to review this, Good Articles need to have full reviews just like any other nomination, since not all GA reviews are equal (or even, sometimes, adequate): the article needs to be long enough, neutral, the hook needs to be neutral and sourced (and the fact needs to be in the article and in the given source), the article has to be free of copyvio and close paraphrasing (a new GA just ran afoul of this one in the past few hours), and the image must be free and in the article, as well as showing up well in the standard size.

This article is a newly-promoted GA and is long enough and was nominated in time. The hook facts have inline citations, the image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I did not find any copyright issues in the spotchecks I made. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:42, 4 January 2016 (UTC)- Comment: The DYK text is not accurate. The article (and source) mention multiple functions for this land: part of it was used as a place for drying dates, and at one end, a burial ground. To be accurate, the DYK text should mention both functions. Wiqi(55) 13:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
