Temple of Garni[edit]
- ... that the Temple of Garni (pictured), the only Hellenistic structure in Armenia, collapsed in an earthquake and was reconstructed 300 years later?

The article is new enough (recent GA), long enough, and well written. QPQ is done, image is freely licensed. However, the hook fact differs from the article, which says it's the only "Greco-Roman colonnaded building". That's not the same as the only "Greco-Roman structure". -Zanhe (talk) 04:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, "Greco-Roman structure" is not the same as "Greco-Roman colonnaded building", but the temple is also the only Greco-Roman structure in Armenia. See below, in the Decline section, where two sources are cited in support of it being the only Hellenistic building in Armenia. If equating "Hellenistic" to "Greco-Roman" is still problematic, I don't mind changing the wording of the hook. --Երևանցի talk 12:48, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- It would be great to get this into the queues for April 24, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. You could change "Greco-Roman" to "Hellenistic", per the source, or just call it "a Hellenistic and pagan edifice in Armenia", per other sources. Yoninah (talk) 14:09, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Done. Actually, I don't think this article should go up on the 24th. This temple has virtually no connection to the genocide and is hardly Armenian in the strict sense. --Երևանցի talk 19:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
OK, it's your call. Thank you for tidying up the hook. Hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per User:Zanhe; in addition, no close paraphrasing seen. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
