:::@[[User:UndercoverClassicist|UndercoverClassicist]] It looks like we're done! Thanks so much for your hard work. The only item that remains is "Duchy of Athens could briefly describe the geographical/political context for unfamiliar readers", which does not stand in the way of GA and just a suggestion which you may consider adding later on. As for my review, this is an excellent article and congratulations on another valuable contribution in your area of expertise!

Very excited to start this review of another valuable contribution by the nominator. From my first impressions, the article is very well written (which is to be expected from this author), makes extensive use of reliable scholarship, and covers the subject in great (but not excessive) detail. The visual material is also really helpful. I don't anticipate major edits, and my comments will likely focus on organization and structure, which I think can be improved somewhat to make the article a bit more accessible to a non-specialist reader. I plan to have the first batch of my comments by tomorrow if not earlier and I am looking forward to working together!

Regarding structure of the article, I am wondering whether the nominator would be willing to adjust/edit some of the sections. It might be a good idea to include '''Date''', '''Inscription''', and '''Construction '''into one large section titled '''History '''with subsections '''Dating''', '''Construction''', and '''Inscription'''. That way, the reader will be able to navigate the content more easily while the modern content of '''Excavation '''can remain as is. Below is my suggestion for content organization as bullet points. I am open to other ideas, but I would like to see content moved around for more clarity. |

** Do you mean to explain what they are? I think this is an example where the technical term is so specific that explaining it isn't worth the clunkiness: I think it's clear enough in context that we're talking about parts of the building, but glossing as "the parts of the entablature that project out on the top of the frieze" would be about the best I can do, and I think that would simply be explaining the obscure with the obscure.

- @UndercoverClassicist It looks like we're done! Thanks so much for your hard work. The only item that remains is "Duchy of Athens could briefly describe the geographical/political context for unfamiliar readers", which does not stand in the way of GA and just a suggestion which you may consider adding later on.

Very excited to start this review of another valuable contribution by the nominator. From my first impressions, the article is very well written (which is to be expected from this author), makes extensive use of reliable scholarship, and covers the subject in great (but not excessive) detail. The visual material is also really helpful. I don't anticipate major edits, and my comments will likely focus on organization and structure, which I think can be improved somewhat to make the article a bit more accessible to a non-specialist reader. I plan to have the first batch of my comments by tomorrow if not earlier and I am looking forward to working together! Ppt91talk 18:46, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
General comments[edit]Regarding structure of the article, I am wondering whether the nominator would be willing to adjust/edit some of the sections. It might be a good idea to include Date, Inscription, and Construction into one large section titled History with subsections Dating, Construction, and Inscription. That way, the reader will be able to navigate the content more easily while the modern content of Excavation can remain as is. Below is my suggestion for content organization as bullet points. I am open to other ideas, but I would like to see content moved around for more clarity.
