George Smith's decipherment of the Cypriot syllabary
- ... that the Idalion bilingual, one of six Phoenician inscriptions found at Dali, Cyprus in 1870, was the "Rosetta Stone" for the decipherment of the Cypriot syllabary? Source: CREWS Display: The Idalion Bilingual: "The Idalion Bilingual was the inscription that provided the vital key needed to decipher the Cypriot syllabic writing system, and is sometimes thought of as the ‘Rosetta stone’ of Cyprus."

- GTG. New, long & neutral enuf. Hook checks out, pic ok to use. Qpq done (not concluded). Earwig only picks up translations of the texts. Johnbod (talk) 08:19, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- The QPQ does not seem to be a full review on your part, but a hook suggestion. Yoninah (talk) 01:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Yoninah: Fair enough. The Israel-Morocco article still needs a full review, which I was planning to do but am put off by the presence of a single-issue editor at the DYK review who has a habit of hounding. Instead I have reviewed a second DYK article above (The Social Network). Onceinawhile (talk) 14:15, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. Restoring tick per Johnbod's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
