• ... that the Shoubak Revolt (1905) was sparked after Ottoman forces started to put women of the Arabs of the town into forced labor?

• The article is new, having been created on the 12th (four days ago). The article is long enough. I don't see any violations of core policy, and everything is sourced. The source used is in Arabic. I don't Jordan Heritage, but I'll have faith in that the source is reliable. I can't read Arabic, but can be surprisingly good with Google Translate. Using that tool, I find the sentence "The beginning was when he tried to Turkish garrison harness women to carry water to them from the springs that take place in the valley," which matches the hook. Everything thus far checks out. The hook content is interesting and decently sized. QPQ checks out. Everything seems to be a-OK. ~Mable (chat) 13:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

• The source used for the hook is "The Modern History of Jordan"... Makeandtoss (talk) 15:11, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

• Oh, how silly of me, I completely looked over that. I'm not able to see the page of the book for some reason. Seeing as the other source also seems to cover this ground, I don't have any reason to believe the book is any different ^_^; ~Mable (chat) 15:23, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
