Interesting article, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I am not happy with piping the article title, - can you word one (or all) using the title as it is? I think the original is the most interesting one. - In the article, we need a few more refs, - no end of a paragraph without please. It would be better - but no need - if refs for one fact were in ascending numerical order. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Gerda, for your valuable comments. I have just changed the links to the original title and hope you will find one of the hooks suitable. Also, I have added some more references as suggested, but refs for one fact are automatically given in a different order, when one ref is used more than once. - As far as I know, there is nothing I can do about this...Munfarid1 (talk) 16:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
thank you! I like the original so much better than the others, that I leave only that one. You can change the ref order, but it's nothing serious. When you go to GA, you better change ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
@Mujinga and Gerda Arendt: quite a few paragraphs newly added seem to lack end-of-paragraph-sourcing; Scholarship and publications about Berber jewellery, paragraph 2; Early ethnographic descriptions, paragraph 2; and the final blockquote (unless it's cited right before). Could this be cleared up before I promote? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 10:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
@Mujinga:: I still see few un-cited paragraphs. Can you look into it. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron: Sorry, I did not see this until today and have just added sources to all statements. And yes, the final blockquote is cited right before. So I think you can go ahead and promote it.Munfarid1 (talk) 12:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
@Mujinga: The following statement needs a citation: "and Brooklyn Museum in New York City, also present such pieces and other traditional cultural objects of the Berber people." Z1720 (talk) 17:47, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Two new refs for Brooklyn Museum added, one for jewellery and one for carpets (other trad. cultural objects). Munfarid1 (talk) 22:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
LOL, can people please stop confusing me with Munfarid1 on this thread, I have nothing to do with it and I've been pinged three times now. Thanks and happy editing. Mujinga (talk) 09:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
