This hook is good to go; if you want to use it let me know and I'll pass the DYK. Catrìona (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT1:... that many works of Averroes (pictured) did not survive today in the original Arabic, but only as Latin or Hebrew translations? Source: "Adamson 2016, p. 180-181
I would have written "... that many of Averroes' works did not survive in the original Arabic, but only as Latin or Hebrew translations?" I would not use "works of Averroes" in this context, but with the picture it is awkward either way. Catrìona (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT1b:... that many of Averroes' works (Averrroes pictured) did not survive today in the original Arabic, but only as Latin or Hebrew translations? HaEr48 (talk) 06:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that Averroes (pictured) served as the chief judge of Córdoba and the Almohad court physician at the same time? Source: Arnaldez 1986, p. 910.
Better "... and as the Almohad court physician..." Catrìona (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT2b:... that Averroes (pictured) served as the chief judge of Córdoba and as the Almohad court physician at the same time?
  • This hook is good too. I still don't like the second one, but you only need one hook anyway. Catrìona (talk) 12:24, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Overall: I'm concerned about plagiarism and this site with suspiciously similar phrasing: "..to a family with a long and well-respected tradition of legal and public service. His grandfather, the influential Abdul-Walid Muhammad (d. 1126), was the chief judge..." This was not mentioned in the GA review. Is there a way to confirm that this is copied from Wikipedia and not the other way around? Fixed by HaEr48 Catrìona (talk) 04:11, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@Catrìona: Thanks for the review. I'm embarrassed that I missed that :| I reworded that sentence, and checked the rest of the earwig report (seems no more close paraphrasing issue). Let me know if there's more I could do. HaEr48 (talk) 13:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Looks good now and the copyvio detector is not finding any other problems; see comments on the hooks. Catrìona (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
@Catrìona: I've replied to your comments on ALT1 and ALT2. Thanks for the review. HaEr48 (talk) 06:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
