Birmingham Quran manuscript
- ...
that the Birmingham Quran manuscript (pictured) was written around the time of Muhammad?
- Note that there was much support for this being a DYK in this discussion.
- Reviewed: Ed Miliband bacon sandwich photograph
Created by Pigsonthewing (talk) and Cordless Larry (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 12:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC).
- Article is recent and sufficiently large. Regarding the "In the news" talk, this article was rejected for ITN (several commenters felt it was more suitable for DYK), so there's no ITN usage conflict here.
- The article is written neutrally (I fixed one small portion to follow more closely the policy of minimizing the use of Islamic titles / honorifics when referring to Muhammad). It contains sources (and inline citations of same). The hook is acceptably worded and is adequately substantiated via an inline citation to a source.
- The image is from Commons, appears in the article, and looks OK in a small size.
- The QPQ review checks out.
It appears that people are trying to attribute religious significance to this. The hook therefore requires care to avoid overstating the finding. The recent dating was of the parchment of the manuscript but it was common for these to be washed and reused with fresh writing later. The first hook does not make this clear so I suggest an alternative. Andrew D. (talk) 10:15, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the parchment of the Birmingham Quran manuscript (pictured) dates from the time of Muhammad?
- Comment I would like to suggest another hook, my suggestion conveys the message of ALT1 while it has another interesting message within:
- ALT2 ...that the Birmingham Quran manuscript (pictured), dating back to muhammad's time, is said to prove that the Quran "has undergone little or no alteration?"
