# Talk:Armenian illuminated manuscripts

Okay, let's do this properly. I take issue with the following sentence, which currently opens this article: 
Armenian miniatures of Illuminated manuscripts are one of the most beautiful pages of Medieval Christian art.
A Wikipedia article should not state that anything is more beautiful than anything else. Beauty is subjective, and by definition POV. POVs from books, reviews etc. can be included as long as they're attributed to the author, and not stated as fact. In any case, they should never be in the first paragraph of an article, let alone the first sentence. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 18:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

In all honesty, I don't understand. If your usage of "beautiful" differs from the common one, please explain to me how, and provide a dictionary definition of the usage you were aiming for. Also, please don't remove NPOV tags unilaterally. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 10:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Narek, please stop creating new pages. That sentence is POV and unencylopedic!--Eupator 02:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello I'll work on the issue immediately.

Done, I deleted plenty of images. I don't know if that helped with decreasing the sandwiching enough but I tried my best from a mobile view. دانيالوه (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

Comment: Not the nominator or reviewer, but I agree that the use of images is excessive by a long way. There are blocks of 2, 4, or 6 images used when one would suffice to make the same point. The four images that appear in the lead are not identified; they need a much longer caption, and there doesn't need to be four images. The point of images should be to illustrate different styles and techniques that are mentioned in the text, not to take up as much of the screen as possible with images. MartinPoulter (talk) 23:50, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Second opinion: This article may have many grammar mistakes. For example:

"Very few fragments of illuminated manuscripts from the 6th and 7th centuries have survived."
"The aArt experienced a golden age in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the main schools and centers started to pop-up (fifteen hundred centers of writing and illumination)."
Consider to fix what you can.

Already fixed more than 40 grammar mistakes. Still a lot more!
@دانيالوه There are two {{citation needed}} tags in this article. Can you find reliable sources? The person who loves reading (talk) 18:38, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


### Status query
دانيالوه, Prodrummer619, where does this review stand? I don't see that the issue of excessive images has been addressed, while the bulk of the review is yet to be completed. It would be great to get this nomination moving again. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:50, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
دانيالوه (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Done, BlueMoonset, I deleted plenty of images. I don't know if that helped with decreasing the sandwiching enough but I tried my best from a mobile view. دانيالوه (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
