  • Starting review: Alex2006 (talk) 13:30, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes

Image eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I don't think that the used image is clear at 100px. About the hooks, I think that the first one can be understood more easily by the average reader. AGF on most of the sources and on both hooks. Alex2006 (talk) 14:42, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your note. I changed the picture, but I can not write an edit-summary (for unknown reasons). I hope the over picture works, if not we could also skip it.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 20:43, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Hallo VenusFeuerFalle, the new picture has the same problem as the old one: what do you think about the one which I put now? Vorerst, Buon Natale! :-) Alex2006 (talk) 11:35, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Like the old one. :-( What about this one? Alex2006 (talk) 11:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Hello Alessandro. Sorry, I had some issues with my browser the last days, I could not check out the next picture (it always crashed). The one you picked would be my least favorite, although I personally like it the most, it is primarily an Egypt deity. But we can choose any of the pictures in the article, I fine with all of them :) Thanks for your concern.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
  • I agree, but unfortunately the other two at 100px are too blurry, and this picture of the Egyptian deity is in the article: let's choose this one then! BTW, the article is beautiful, my compliments: I knew the jinn, but not the ifrit. Cheers! Alex2006 (talk) 09:59, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Good to go with first hook! Alex2006 (talk) 10:05, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
I also prefer the first hook. The image had only been suggestions, let's use the Egypt-deity-ifrit.
