This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I expanded it from a stub and I want to know what needs to be done so the article can become a GA or a FA. I am not a native English speaker and I need some help to check the text for general MOS compliance, especially in the areas of articles and punctuation. I would also very much welcome any advice regarding the tone of the article.

I’ve also got a couple of specific questions:

Should the phrases such as "golden age" and "age of chivalry" be capitalized?
Should the words such as "romanticism" and "biblical" be capitalized?
Should the definite article be included and capitalized in the translated title of a non-English literary work (e.g., the Tale of Queen Dinara vs. The Tale of Queen Dinara)?
Should the words "obverse" and "reverse" occurring in the same sentence be internally linked when both of them lead to the article called obverse and reverse?
Should the words already linked in the text be linked in the image captions?

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.

For capitalization questions, I would look at 1) the articles linked to in order to see what they did, and 2) also look at your sources. So based on Wikipedia articles, I would go with "Golden age" and "Romanticism", but keep "biblical" as just an adjective (it seems to be capitalized in thinks like "Biblical Hebrew" though). I could not find Age of Chivalry here and would follow the refs for the "The..." in titles question. As for obverse and reverse, why not link them now (and remove a link if asked in GAN or FAC). I think the links have value if they are not too close to the other link in the article.
I think this is probably already pretty close to GA level. It seems to have the material to make it to FA, but the lanquage needs a copyedit. For example, Her remains were transferred to the cathedral at Mtskheta[,] whence [word choice?] they were moved to be interred at the Gelati monastery, a familial [word choice - family?] burial ground of the Georgian royal dynasty. how about just something like Her remains were transferred to the cathedral at Mtskheta, then to the Gelati monastery, a family burial ground of the Georgian royal dynasty.
Per WP:MOS#Images all images should be set to just "thumb" (not pixel widths). Also is this Image:TamariIcona.jpg a copyrighted icon?
Try to avoid short (one or two sentence) paragraphs - merge them with others or perhaps expand them.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, Ruhrfisch. You have been helpful, indeed. I have implemented all suggested changes and removed the icon image for the time being until its copyright status is clarified by the uploader.--Kober^Talk 07:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
