Again, the lead is too short.
- Expanded

"Muslim town of Larabanga" ? As I am not sure about whether the word Muslim is appropriate or not, I would advise you to check other Good Articles whether such phrases are used or not.
- You are right. I have corrected it to Islamic

Please link Ghana.
- Ghana is linked in the lead

"According to legend" - it should be according to a legend.
- Done

"Larabanga is one of the eight ancient..." keep this sentence and the next one in a separate paragraph. Because it has nothing to do with Ayuba, where it is stitched.
- Done

Between 1421 and 1970s, isnt there any more details?
- I found this book reference [1] of 2014 and I have added this reference with some additional text. Otherwise, the book gives almost the same details as already given in the article.

"it would stop deterioration"- make it "protect from being getting damaged"
- Done

Please link WMF
- Done

Was Ayuba really the architect which is been mentioned in the infobox?
- The latest reference of 2014, added now, also gives the name of Ayuba as the likely builder.

Picture of the day

The Larabanga Mosque was built in the Sudanese architectural style in the village of Larabanga, Ghana. It is the oldest mosque in the country and one of the oldest in West Africa, and has been called the "Mecca of West Africa". It has undergone restoration several times since it was founded. The World Monuments Fund has contributed substantially to its restoration, and lists it as one of the 100 most endangered sites.Photograph: Sathyan Velumani
