Article expansion, July 2010[edit]

As a member of WikiProject Albania, I assigned Lead Mosque to myself for expansion. Found some references in Albanian that could be used: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and the corresponding article in the Albanian Wikipedia, sq:Xhamia e Plumbit. Cheers. — Kedadi 15:41, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The DYK is all yours, :-). --Sulmues ^(talk) 16:20, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Mosques[edit]

There is another Lead Mosque in Albania, precisely in Berat. It'd actually be interesting to write an article about that too. If there are other Lead mosques in the world, a template would be warranted --Sulmues ^(talk) 13:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Take a look @ Lead Mosque, Berat. Cheers. — Kedadi 15:01, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Disambiguated. --Sulmues ^(talk) 15:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fluency and idioms[edit]

I gather from the references in Albanian that a significant amount of this article has been translated from Albanian. Unfortunately, the translator's grasp of English idiom isn't perfect (my grasp of Albanian idiom is nonexistent, btw), and the text reads rather clumsily. I've adjusted the wording in several places but it's still imperfect. One clause escapes me: "the Lead Mosque preceded other mosques in Albania to reopen Islam". I get the general sense but am not quite sure how it can be re-worded for clarity. Perhaps "the Lead Mosque was the first in Albania to reopen when Islam was revived after the Communist era."

If the translator is reading, please offer your comments. Floozybackloves (talk) 20:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good edits and thanks for the suggestion. Made the chage here. --Sulmues ^(talk) 02:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I missed this one. Probably checking the stats for the article, as my first DYK. Anyways, thanks Sulmues for the changes. Cheers. — Kedaditalk 02:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
