Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - ?
• Interesting:

Overall: The article is in good condition overall, and I have only a couple minor questions. Article expanded fivefold from April 25 to 30, and nominated same day. Length and sourcing are adequate. No issures found with neutrality or plagiarism. ALT0 appears to be supported by sentences in two separate paragraphs. The first sentence of the second paragraph in the "Rebellion" section would need a citation directly at the end according to DYK citation rules. ALT1 is properly cited and accepted sources by AGF. All images in the article are properly licensed. QPQ requirement is met. In the "Governor of Malaga" section, what is meant by "mountain-girt city"? Flibirigit (talk) 01:33, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

@Flibirigit: Thank you for the review. I've made the citation more specific for the sentence you mentioned. "Mountain-girt city" simply means a city that is girt (encircled) by mountains. It's a direct quote by Harvey that illustrate his analysis of Malaga's importance, so I hesitate to paraphrase. Is that okay? HaEr48 (talk) 12:30, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the changes. I added the wiktionary definition directly into the article for clarity. ALT0 and ALT1 are now both properly cited and mentioned inline. Nomination meets all other DYK criteria. Flibirigit (talk) 20:27, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
