Tiles from the Empire of the Sultans exhibition

Excellent article. New enough (when posted), some excellent images including the hook which is CC-by-SA. Lots of high quality cites. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:16, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I've marked an unreferenced section. Schwede66 07:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Schwede66: The source for that subsection is the source given for the section of which it is part: the appendix of the Khalili book which is ref 45 in the current version. Note that the cited sentence says "a total of sixteen venues" and the sixteen include the thirteen US venues. The same information is available in lots of other places, but it's neater to cite that summary table. How do you want it to be marked in the article that the source for the full section also applies to the subsection? MartinPoulter (talk) 12:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I see. I've dealt with it; have a look at my edit. All is good in that case. Reinstating the green tick. The relevant rule is that each section must have at least one reference; that includes sub-sections. Schwede66 19:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Controversial islam?

"It visited thirteen cities in the United States from 2000 to 2004, a period when Islam became especially controversial due to the September 11 attacks and the subsequent wars in the Middle East".

This is ethno-centered. In the rest of the world, it was the iraq war and its phony justification that was controversial. 2A02:A03F:63DE:5701:CA3D:574C:9F7D:AE0E (talk) 07:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
