Koutoubia Mosque[edit]
- ... that the Koutoubia Mosque, or "Bookseller's Mosque", was named after the bookselling trade practiced in the nearby souk (mosque and souk pictured)?

Date, length ok. Nice article. I would switch to using File:Koutbia.jpg as the photo though. One problem, the hook ref at NYT turns up a dead link to me. --Soman (talk) 16:08, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. Change of image is fine. The New York Times reference is here [1] and it pens in my computer.User:Nvvchar
- The first sentence mentions the central part of Homs and that is where the mosque is located. If it is not accepatble the sentence can be deleted.User:Nvvchar
- Sorry for the confusion, Soman. I gave the wrong reference. Here is the correct reference[2], which is again refixed in the article. I hope you are able to open it and verify. Thanks. User:Nvvchar
