• All four articles are new enough, long enough, interesting, and appropriately referenced. Moghra Oasis has a maintenance tag ({Contradict}), which should be dealt with. The hook is neutreal and interesting, and the hook fact is cited to a book which is partly available online. However page 216 of the cited book does not appear to cover the Moghra Oasis, but rather the "Eastern Desert", as far as I can judge. No close paraphrasing was detected. QPQ done.

@Oceanh: Thank you for the reviews. I have dealt with the tag and have changed the page number of the book. I don't know what page 216 contains because the book won't now let me inspect the page, but page 69 does deal with the oasis. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:47, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you for fixing the citation, the hook fact can now be verified in the book (the relevant page is available online). Oceanh (talk) 17:38, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
