Old post office of Mardin
  • ... that Sarkis Lole, the Armenian chief architect of Mardin who constructed much of the early modern architecture of the city, never received any formal training and designed his buildings in the sand? Source: [1] Wharton 2016, 127: “Concerning the legacy of the mimarbaşı of Mardin, Serkis Elyas Lole, it is clear from the memories of his living relatives, and of descendants of those who worked as part of his team that Lole was responsible for much of the architecture in the city. They attribute the majority of Mardin’s nineteenth-century mansions (konaks), churches, institutions, and even mosque repairs to Lole” and “Serkis is not known to have trained professionally and designed buildings by drawing in the sand”

@Vice regent: Thank you for your review! I agree that his architectural works are really pretty and the second hook complements that best. Have a great day! TagaworShah (talk) 17:03, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Theleekycauldron: Hello! Sorry for responding so late. As far as I can see both of the hooks are cited inline in the article. The first one is cited in the body and the second one is cited in the lede and in the image caption. Please let me know if i’m missing something. Cheers.

@Theleekycauldron: Sorry for the confusion, i’m unfamiliar with the DYK process. I’ve now added a full citation at the end of the hook. TagaworShah (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Theleekycauldron: I moved the citations in the article to the end of each claim. Cheers. TagaworShah (talk) 18:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Years

Immediately following the name in the beginning of the article, we should give his years, as far as possible. (b. - d., or fl., or whatever). The infobox has "19th - 20th century"; it must be possible to narrow it down?His promotion to chief architect after his father sounds like something where a dating can be found?-- (talk) 14:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

@: Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any concrete dates surrounding Lole in reliable sources. Wharton who mentions the promotion to chief architect does not give a date. The only sourced time frame provided is late 18th to early 19th century. Outside of the sources, I’ve seen claims that him and his family fled sometime between 1915-1917 but have yet to find a source to back that up.
