  • The article is new and long enough. The hook is not to long. I am afraid that sources do not directly support the hook assertion. None of two sources used to support it does not specifically claim that articles were "on Armenian history and culture". I know that it was most probably the case, but maybe it would be better to reword the hook or to provide more sources which directly support the existing wording? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that Armenian historian and professor Dickran Kouymjian was awarded the prestigious St.Mesrob Mashtots Medal from Karekin II, the Catholicos of All Armenians?
ALT1a ... that Armenian historian and professor Dickran Kouymjian was awarded the St.Mesrob Mashtots Medal from Karekin II, the Catholicos of All Armenians?
ALT2 ... that Armenian historian Dickran Kouymjian has published several books and more than a hundred articles?
I think that ALT1 is the best, but without prestigious (it is puffery and unsourced, although it is obviously very prestigious)?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1a provided. I can prove it being prestigious, but I'd rather not risk puffery. Proudbolsahye (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
