View of the church of San Michele Arcangelo with the passetto in background (1900 ca.)
  • Reviewed: Old City of Hebron
  • Comment: In case of decision in favour of ALT1 we could substitute the picture of the church with that of the fresco, also in the article

  • You are absolutely right @Johnbod: my mother tongue is Italian, and this is immediately apparent from reading the text. P.S. Maybe if you have time you could also have a look to the via Giulia article, which I expanded but, having been already on DYK, I cannot propose here. Alex2006 (talk) 10:34, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
  copy-edited. Ready for review now. Johnbod (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have copy-edited this article on behalf of the Guild of Copy Editors, as requested. The article had been erroneously removed from the GOCE's Requests page. The prose should be in good shape now. I left a couple of {{Clarify}} templates where I was unable to understand what was meant in the prose; editors may need to refer to sources to clear up these issues. Good luck with your DYK nomination, and feel free to ping me with any questions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  Approving ALT1 only. I have addressed one of the clarify tags, the other two need sources, but I also don't find that they affect reading enough to need to be addressed before this can appear on the front page. DYK check looks good, being new and long enough at the time of nomination. Subject is interesting and there is an inline citation for all the hooks. However, I only really find alts 1 & 2 interesting, and I think that of these, only alt 1 will be widely understood - the phrasing may make it difficult for people to see the point of alt 2 (and alt 0 for that matter, I'm not quite sure whether it means people think the church ended the plague or not). I also think that uncovering cool art may be the most interesting of the three. If the nominator is really set on one of the other hooks, we can work to rephrase them :) AGF because I read the Italian quotations provided, but the sources are largely offline.

Hallo @Kingsif:, and thanks for reviewing! For me ALT1 is OK: do you think that we should change the image of the church with that of the nursing virgin (also in the article)? Alex2006 (talk) 16:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Either image works: the church is the subject, but the painting is also a good image. Re. these two images: both are in the article and suitably commons licensed. Kingsif (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I tested the other image, but it is too faint: let's stay with this one! Alex2006 (talk) 17:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Clarifications

edit

Hallo @Jonesey95:, and thanks again for your copyedit!

Below the required clarifications:

 
Example of Orifiamma
  • "oriflammes": from Italian "Orifiamma" (pl. "Orifiamme") is an architectonic decoration (a kind of little obelisks) used above the facade of a church. You can see two of them at the ends of the tympanum of the church of San Giacomo in Rome and, of course, on the picture of the front of San Michele Arcangelo. Unfortunately this is a very technical term and I did not find its translation in English. Maybe "Candlestick"?
  • This means "To the god Michael, the Archangel" and is the dedication inscription of the church.
  • "Crucifix" here means "Crucifixion of Jesus". Altars in the catholic churches can be dedicated to saints, Jesus, Mary or also single episodes of the gospel, like the crucifixion. It Italian this kind of altar (and also a chapel) is called "altare (or cappella) del crocifisso" (please see here and here)

If something is not clear, you can ping me here. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 10:12, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
