:* [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] Wow, what a great article! It is well written, extremely comprehensive, well referenced (AGF on offline sources) with what appear to my eye to be high-quality sources, and well illustrated. A random spotcheck did not produce any copyvio concerns. Hook is sourced (ref is offline but Clendinnen 2003 says pretty much the same), QPQ is done. My only concern is that the phrasing is a bit ambiguous: "during the Spanish conquest of what"? will one ask. Also, I urge the author to find alternate hooks, preferably ones that can be combined with an image (perhaps something about the diseases that wrecked the Maya population, or one of the Conquistador leaders), so that it becomes a lead DYK. It would be a pity for such a fine article to get lost among the other submissions for lack of prominence or a catchy hook.

Wow, what a great article! It is well written, extremely comprehensive, well referenced (AGF on offline sources) with what appear to my eye to be high-quality sources, and well illustrated. A random spotcheck did not produce any copyvio concerns. Hook is sourced (ref is offline but Clendinnen 2003 says pretty much the same), QPQ is done. My only concern is that the phrasing is a bit ambiguous: "during the Spanish conquest of what"? will one ask. Also, I urge the author to find alternate hooks, preferably ones that can be combined with an image (perhaps something about the diseases that wrecked the Maya population, or one of the Conquistador leaders), so that it becomes a lead DYK. It would be a pity for such a fine article to get lost among the other submissions for lack of prominence or a catchy hook. Constantine ✍ 21:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! Pity I can't find an image of Maya armour, I thought the hook was interesting... Oh well, how about the following:
- ALT1: ... that during the Spanish conquest of the Maya, the Dominican Order promoted the image of St. James the Moor-slayer (pictured) as a symbol of Spanish military superiority?
- The hook fact is taken from the Establishment of the Dominicans in Chiapa, 1545–1547 section. Simon Burchell (talk) 22:52, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Looks fine, and good to go for ALT1! Constantine ✍ 10:10, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
