Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. QPQ is done. Image is freely licensed. However, I could not verify the hook. I checked the sources linked above, and could not find one that explicitly says the first modern revivals were by Indian Parsis. Am I missing something? -Zanhe (talk) 05:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Ok try p. 59-60, and note 35, p. 68 on the first Indian source? Also, the Encyclopedia Iranica article on the period up to 1925 makes no mention of Achaemenid Revival architecture, because there wasn't any. There's this lecture, around 6:10-6:20, 23:15-26 and 32: from the same prof. Johnbod (talk) 18:29, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- ALT1 added above. Let the reader do the maths. Sources are the same. Johnbod (talk) 15:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Cmt, prefer original hook, which seems fine wrt sources. "earliest modern revivals of the ancient..." is much clearer. Ceoil (talk) 20:07, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
ALT1 is verified and good to go. Template:Re If you prefer ALT0, please present an RS that explicitly supports it. Otherwise it cannot be used. -Zanhe (talk) 00:13, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
