Article is long enough and posted by due date. Hook is interesting and verified by ref 11. Text is neutral. QPQ done. No copy vio noted. Img is free. Good to go.Nvvchar. 01:32, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: @EtienneDolet: @Nvvchar: The article is very good, but I think the hook should add a short snippet of context, namely something about Resid Akif's witnessing of the Armenian Genocide. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:57, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Al Ameer son: Hi Al Ameer, I thought by not clarifying the event in which he was ashamed for would raise readers' curiosity more and attract more people. I think you were a victim of that trap as well ;) I hope you understand. Étienne Dolet (talk) 02:59, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Nvvchar: Hello Nvvchat, Al Ameer doesn't seem to be responding. Can we have a re-review? Étienne Dolet (talk) 03:57, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with User:EtienneDolet that the hook as suggested attracts curiosity, and that is how I started reviewing it. I again give a green signal to retain the hook as suggested..Nvvchar. 00:59, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
