Interesting article on an early woman composer. I've done some minor c/e prior to the review.

Lede

• "The authenticity of the piece" --> "Its authenticity" because the preceding sentence is about the piece.
  • Indeed! Fixed – Aza24 (talk) 21:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Life

• "Extremely little is known Khosrovidukht" I assume you mean "Extremely little is known about Khosrovidukht"

Works

• I understand that writing down the whole English translation of the piece is really pushing it in terms of plagiarism and copyvio. I feel that the note about the translation shouldn't be in prose but rather a note, perhaps in the same location as the Armenian WikiSource reference below the text. It's up to you though.
  • At one point I did include it—though I'm not sure if I ever published the edit—as I do remember typing it up. My issues with it were indeed the copyvio, but also that I noticed that for some reason there was slight differences in the original Armenian and the English translation, that is, one had a few lines that the other was missing. Open to including it, but I thought I'd share that. Aza24 (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

General

• There are no ongoing edit-wars, discussions or major content changes. The article summarizes everything known about the person succinctly and is neutral.
• The lede image is free, and the YouTube external audio may be fine. YouTube videos are generally unreliable, especially if it is by an anonymous/unverified account. This channel seems to be exclusively about Armenian music and may be reliable, and hopefully this isn't an account that copies music from Armenian shows, recordings and radio, as that would be copyvio; many of the videos appear old, which makes me a little concerned. This video in particular, however, does state the performers in the description. I'll give it a pass.
  • Thanks for your lenience, my thoughts on the matter essentially align with yours Aza24 (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

References

• No copyvio found.
• Spotchecks:

• Arzruni ref supports all cited text. However it doesn't state that she remained there in isolation for "at least twenty years" (my italics). Is there a ref it collides with that causes this?

• Good catch. I'm not sure why I wrote that, but I suspect it was some unintentional editorializing, removed the "at least". Aza24 (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

• Hacikyan ref supports the note.
• Hovanessian & Margossian ref supports all cited text.
• Rowe ref spells the name differently than this article. Here it is "Koghtnatsi", in the book, it is "Koghnatsi".

• Adjusted

• Armenian WikiSource copypaste has no issues.

@Aza24: Ping me when you're done. Wretchskull (talk) 13:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Wretchskull: all addressed, and I left a comment on the English translation matter. Aza24 (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

@Aza24: I've acknowledged your comment about the English translation. All I will say is that it is up to you to decide if it should be there or not. The article has been promoted to GA status, good job! Wretchskull (talk) 22:16, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
