Hi Warriorglance, I saw you are participating in the February Backlog Drive. I have a nomination for Hooshmand Dehghan that needs a reviewer. It’s a biography of an Iranian scholar. Would you be interested in taking it on for your drive? Best regards, Mojgoon ^talk 21:13, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Mojgoon, I am not participating in the backlog drive but I am reviewing various articles. I took a quick look at the article and it definitely needs improvement in several areas such as expanding the lead, language, and the sources. I'd recommend finding an active mentor for your first GA article at WP:GAMENTOR. Warriorglance(talk to me) 15:07, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I also saw that you nominated the article three times and it was quickfailed every single time. My advice to you is to find a good partner or a mentor to guide you through the GA criteria and fix the errors raised by these reviewers. I really dont want to start the review and fail it for the fourth time. Best of luck! Warriorglance(talk to me) 15:15, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Warriorglance,

Thank you for taking the time to read through the article and providing your guidance. I truly appreciate your feedback regarding the lead, language, and sources.

Regarding the previous reviews, you are right that it has been failed three times, but I would like to clarify the circumstances of the third review. The reviewer initially raised concerns about the use of AI and my lack of response to queries. However, this was a misunderstanding: right when the reviewer reached out, there was a major internet blackout in my country, which prevented me from responding in time. The reviewer has since acknowledged this and noted that those concerns were misplaced. You can see their clarification here: Talk:Hooshmand Dehghan#Notice for Future GA Reviewers.

Regarding the language and prose, I understand your point. To be honest, the article had a much more sophisticated prose style until early February, as seen in this version (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hooshmand_Dehghan&oldid=1336280709). I requested a native speaker, user Gazelle55, to review the prose of this version of the article, and after their assessment, they wrote: "I read through the full article and it's remarkably well written. I don't have much to correct in terms of writing and I would not worry at all about the writing quality." Please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gazelle55.

However, out of fear of being falsely accused of using AI again, I intentionally simplified the level of the language. If you think it would benefit the GA criteria, I can certainly restore it to its previous quality.

As for the sources, I have manually verified every single online link, and they are all active. For the printed sources, I have meticulously provided specific page numbers for precision. (For example, you can see my edits on January 6, 7 and 8, where I meticulously refined the sources, added OCLC identifiers, and ensured that date ranges precisely match the cited texts.)

Regarding the Persian sources, if you have any issues or need further verification, I can assist with the translation, or you could ask for help from other Persian-speaking users.

I also agree that the lead can and should be expanded, and I am prepared to do so. Best regards, Mojgoon ^talk 17:25, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

In your view, does this passage not meet the GA criteria? "In a detailed codicological study, later expanded in an English paper (2025), Dehghan identifies a collection titled Āthár al-Quddúsiyya (آثار القدوسیه) as being in the handwriting of Riḍván ʿAlí (the son of Ṣubḥ-i-Azal). He notes that these manuscripts were originally acquired from Riḍván ʿAlí by the British Commissioner in Cyprus and later delivered to the British Museum.[18] While Edward Granville Browne had recorded this collection as Abḥár al-Quddúsiyya (ابحار القدوسیه)[19] based on notes by Ahmad Khan Qazvini (a Persian teacher at Cambridge and brother of the scholar Muhammad Qazvini),[20] Dehghan proposes a re-reading of the title, suggesting it as a transliteration error. He argues that Ahmad Khan mistakenly recorded Āthár (آثار) as Abḥár (ابحار) in his notes provided to Browne in 1915.[21] As noted by Dehghan, Browne’s own work mentions the correct title, Āthár (آثار), in the manuscript’s opening lines.[22] While scholars such as Denis MacEoin[23] and Browne had previously indexed these manuscripts (referencing the same collection in the Cambridge University Library and the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society),[24][25] Dehghan's study provides a textual collation to correct this historical title and resolve the discrepancies in the bibliographic sources."

@Mojgoon I'll help with the prose quality when I have time to spare. Right now the sentences are long, it should be made concise and short as it is a GA criterion. I dont believe this is written by AI as well, so no worries! Warriorglance(talk to me) 17:40, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kindness. Do you agree that I should restore the article's prose to its previous state (the version from February 2)? Mojgoon ^talk 17:44, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I did some copydediting now, but you should definitely restore that version. That is clear and concise. Warriorglance(talk to me) 17:52, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I saw that version now only Warriorglance(talk to me) 17:53, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

As you suggested, I have just now restored the previous version. Mojgoon ^talk 18:04, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I expanded the lead section. I hope this meets the GA criteria. Best regards, Mojgoon ^talk 19:47, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
