Cippi of Melqart[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.

I've listed this article for peer review because I think it's time a fresh set of eyes have a look at it! I did try to give this article the attention it deserves, (it is after all the Phoenician Rosetta Stone!), and I tried to write as clearly, neutrally and concisely as possible. It was particularly hard to highlight the controversies surrounding these artifacts - lack of clear provenance, wrongly attributed location of discovery, etc. - as well as the obvious problem of finding proper sources regarding Maltese history. As I have been doing some light work on other articles on Maltese history, I would like to see some sort of feedback on the quality of the article.

From the peer-reviewer I would like to hear some suggestions about the structure of the article (particularly the sections), and if possible, some ideas regarding the rendering of the Phoenician symbols: Another user, Thanatos, has spent an incredible amount of time working hard on improving the appearance of the Phoenician phrasing (as well as a vast number of admirable edits on the whole fabric of the article!) We know that this is an established problem with Phoenician Unicode characters, but I would personally like to hear a fresh take on it. (Our attempts and the 'scientific method' adopted to check different encoding/renderings can be found on the article's Talk page.)

Thanks a lot, reuv T 19:48, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
