Image

The image is Mangera's, and he is no longer associated with the project. There neither a valid claim of fair use nor a valid reason for that image to be here. -- Avi (talk) 18:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers in refs (eg. The Daily Telegraph) need to be in italics
- Done
"as a plan for a “mega-mosque.”" - why bold?
- Because it is the most common reference to the project in the press. -- Avi (talk) 16:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The Daily Telegraph reported that it was expected" - again, needs italics?
- Done
"did not choose Mangera's design for the final plan, deciding on a scaled-down structure.[11] Instead, the mosque's trustees appointed the firm of Allies and Morrison to design the mosque." - this gets confused half way through about who was rejected and who was accepted.
- Done
"Concerns have also been raised" - "also" not necessary
- Done
Tablighi Jamaat only needs to be wlinked once or twice in the article; same with common words like Islam, Alan Craig, etc.
- Done
Not sure where the Public relations section fits in...(just personally)
- I thought it was interesting that the mosque decided to engage a PR firm which has set up a professional website and YouTube page. So did the press :) -- Avi (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Makes sense. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 05:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"In July of 2007" --> In July 2007, "In September of 2007" --> In September 2007
- Done
"until November of 2007" --> until November 2007
- Done
"when the link was removed" - this is evident as you provide an "until" date, so you can remove these words
- Done

An interesting read. Please leave a note on my talk page when done with this. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 07:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot, I could do it myself. -- Avi (talk) 01:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
