• According to the prose size tool, this article has 888 bytes of prose, less than the 1500 byte minimum (the quote doesn't count toward size). Chris857 (talk) 18:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• Rectified. --Droodkin (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• Currently, the article size is 1658 characters (280 words) "readable prose size" according to DYK check tool. New enough, has inline citations, hook is short and is sourced. However close paraphrasing needs to be removed first.

1. "3 offshore oyster beds, part of the seashore and the Qal’at Bu Mahir fortress in the south of Muharraq." compared to "three offshore oyster beds, part of the seashore and the Qal’at Bu Mahir fortress on the southern tip of Muharraq Island".

• Done

1. "The buildings listed are residences of wealthy merchants, shops, storehouses and a mosque." compared to "The buildings listed include residences of wealthy merchants, shops, storehouses and a mosque.".

• Corrected.

1. "Tylos, Bahrain's Greek name, was mentioned by Pliny to be,"famous for the vast number of its pearls". The golden age of pearling was between the 1850s to 1930" compared to "Tylos, the classical name for Bahrain, was said by Pliny to be "famous for the vast number of its pearls". The golden age of pearling was between the 1850s and 1930." Mohamed CJ (talk) 05:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

• Much better. It was expanded to 1889 characters (321 words), but it is marked as a stub class in the WikiProject World Heritage Sites tag. I would say, based on Croughton-London rule it isn't a stub. Nevertheless, the tag needs to be removed. Mohamed CJ (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

• Good to go now.
