  • Article is recently expanded. QPQ done. Have looked at it and its Greek version, and made a few copyedits, simplifications, and corrections in both. The article is in good shape, looks thorough, and well referenced. Some issues remain, however, which must be addressed before this is approved. First of all, in sourcing, the Απολλώνια Ελληνική Κίνηση reference is not a WP:RS, it is a blog by neo-paganists and hence obviously polemical against the Christian church. Second, the article names Mariam as the abbess-founder of the monastery in the list of the original nuns, but the preceding and next sections say that the monastery's abbot was Matthew, and that she formally became abbess only in 1950.

    @Cplakidas: I only use the source for a Greek name, so I didn't think it was an issue, but can replace it if needed. Your point about her rank at the foundation is well taken—I've removed the word "abbess" from the section. Psiĥedelisto (talkcontribs) please always ping! 21:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
    @Cplakidas: After realizing that Kouletaki also mentions Margheti in Greek, I was able to remove the offening source. Psiĥedelisto (talkcontribs) please always ping! 04:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
    Then this is good to go. Constantine 17:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
