Summary

Hello again, Kingsif. This is an excellent historical article which covers a wide scope ranging from astronomy to sport through a variety of topics such as commerce, geography, politics and transport. I was especially pleased by the attention paid to the prehistory of the region.

As you can see from the list above, all the boxes are ticked. I just made a few small tweaks while I was reading it, like a rogue comma and a couple of instances where I think there is a better word. I'm not going to beat about the bush with this one because it is demonstrably a good article and it passes this review with ease. I would say, in fact, that you've perhaps come to the wrong place because this really should go to FAC. I see, though, that you're still doing some fine tuning so perhaps as well to ensure GA first.

I'll keep the article on my watchlist and, if you do decide to take it to FAC sometime, I'll join the review there. A very interesting article and I can certainly say I've learned some things worth knowing. Well done. All the best and keep safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 04:43, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
