#### History
I'm missing a bit of info in this section. Though it obviously can't be helped if there is a lack of sources about Smbataberd. Is there info about Smbataberd after the Seljuk era? Perhaps in the early modern period? --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:13, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Unfortunately, historical information about the fortress is very scarce. The modern sources trying to reconstruct its history don't say anything about its history in the early modern period. Revolution Saga (talk) 23:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Does Smbat I Syuni belong to the Vasakian line of the Syuni lords of Syunik? If so, perhaps the Vasakians could be introduced a bit earlier, since this text seems to be a bit too long without any full stop; According to historian and archaeologist Sedrak Barkhudaryan, Smbataberd, the settlement of Yeghegis, and the monastery of Tsaghats Kar formed "an architectural, spiritual and political whole" under the Vasakian line of the Syuni lords of Syunik, prior to the rule of the Orbelian dynasty, which replaced the local lords of Syunik in the thirteenth century. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)


#### Restoration efforts and tourism
Looks good, could use a bit more info imo, but I wouldn't consider it a must for GA. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:13, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
@Revolution Saga: I think that's about it. The rest looks good. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:45, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
