Arikamedu
[edit]
- ... that at the Arikamedu archaeological site (entrance pictured), the Indologist Jouveau Dubreuil found gems and an intaglio of Augustus Caesar and said that the site was "a true Roman city"?

- Interesting article, long enough expansion; well-written and illustrated; the article is sourced; well... reading the article and sources, Mr Bebreuil's discoveries seem to be overshadowed by later, more thorough excavations, yet, Mr Debreuil's allegation "in a short note" that the site was a "true Roman city" based on his own discoveries seem correct. I'd suggest that the article is ready for DYK. --Bruzaholm (talk) 13:23, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Review needs to be completed: QPQ will need checking, and close paraphrasing and neutrality should be checked as well, since original review did not cover these aspects. Hook sourcing was not mentioned, so it should probably also be checked. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:19, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
This is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is properly licensed, the hook facts are reliably sourced, the article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:06, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
