Nabataean Aramaic (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator(s): Benji man (talk) 08:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the Aramaic language used by the Nabataeans. It's a topic I've been researching professionally for the past several years, but I have made sure not to cite my own research or include any original research. At the moment, this article stands as probably the most elaborate Wikipedia article on any Aramaic language. I hope that achieving FA status will give a boost to related topics as well. Finally, this is my first FA nomination, so I apologize in advance for any instances where I don't follow the procedure correctly. Benji man (talk) 08:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, Syriac language is longer, at least :) Benji man (talk) 08:58, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a review for WP:WTW. For example,

  • avoid "notes" as in "Cantineau notes that it cannot be established whether this also holds for Nabataean" or "Michael O'Connor... noted that loanwords are largely restricted to technical terms" (also try to stick to one tense)
  • it's not verifiable what he thinks/ knows so "Cantineau is unsure" and "the examples known to Cantineau" should be rephrased
