Hi @LastJabberwocky is there anything else I should do? el.ziade (talkallam) 11:13, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The article is in a really nice shape and I'll promote it right. But I keep finding new information that can be added (maybe as an improvement for featured article)! I really out of my depth with Phoenician history and mostly look through one published work. Moreover, sometimes more details means watering down and confusing an article, so I don't think it's necessary to add them. I leave a couple of quotes from this article that covers: 1. the lead ingots we mention to be a part of the cargo was local to Mazarron area (from the local ancient mines) 2. more details on the changes in the bay that led to their discovery

"The lead isotope analysis of the Mazarrón 2 cargo suggests that it comes from the mining districts of Carta-gena and Mazarrón. The Mazarrón mining region covers an area of 7 km around the city of Mazarrón. Since ancient times, this region has been rich in metal deposits, copper, iron, silver, lead, and alum. The area includes three main mining sites, San Cristobal-LosPerules, Pedreras Viejas, and Coto Fortuna, exploited during various periods and separated by phases of inactivity from antiquity to the 1960s."
"Mazarrón 2 is located some 500 m away from Santa Elisa's lead-smelting factory", which discarded its "by-product slags at the Rincón de la Isla, 200 m away from Mazarrón 2, and gradually formed an embankment called El Gachero. The central area slowly eroded, while loose sand accumulated in the coastal shelter formed in El Gachero, located in the eastern sector of the beach."
The nearby marina we mention in the article was constructed "in the 1980s, in the western area of Playa de la Isla. It contributed to the increased erosion of the central part of the beach where Mazarrón 1 and Mazarrón 2 are located."
The study of biochemical study of the sediment around the wreck proved its notable impact on the ships' conservation state. [the study goes into really deep, deep depth about why and how, but I have no clue how to decipher their hypertechnical language :)]
Additionally, the geotechnical measurements figured out that "the depth of the rock bed beneath the shipwreck area exceeded 1.2 m", which informed the archeologist that they can raise the wreck "in block or without signiﬁcant fragmentation, contrary to another proposal of extraction on portions".

Phoenician shipwrecks of Mazarrón

Thank you for your work on the Phoenician shipwrecks of Mazarrón article. I notice you added extremely long decimal coordinates, which I shortened. Google Maps has taken to providing 16-digit coordinates in what is believed to be a copyright trap scheme. That level of precision is in the 1/100th of a micrometer range. WP:OPCOORD calls for always rounding or truncating coordinates (tldr: use DD°MM'SS" or D.dddd° for everything). Otherwise, great article. Abductive (reasoning) 01:57, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, what’s up? I’ve nominated the page for GAN. I’ve cleaned it up and added some information, but I’m wondering if maybe I’m missing something. Do you think it can be improved any further? Nehme₁₄₉₉ 01:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nehme1499 ill take a look later today. el.ziade (talkallam) 07:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nehme1499 I made a few changes to the lead. One thing that struck me is the image of Gibran Bassil. Can we please remove it? Is not a current government member and the image does not add the article. I will continue the review shortly. el.ziade (talkallam) 12:03, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
