 * The OKA log of articles indicates that this work was translated from the Portuguese FA. I shall tag accordingly pending further clarification. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * After discussion with user:Racnela21 on their talk page, they have added a dummy edit with some attribution confirming the Portuguese article as the translation source and so I have removed the CWW tag. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:56, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

There's also the mention of the French Wikipedia article there at the end. Maybe Portuguese version was originally created based on French? Y-barton (talk) 03:21, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

It to some extent duplicates and in some cases contradicts the Kassites article. Whatever language it was in it also feels a lot like it was originally cribbed from an old encyclopedia with refs added.Ploversegg (talk) 05:29, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Article needs work
A number of things clearly didn't survive the translation process. It needs a good scrub by someone familiar with english wikipedia ancient Near East stuff, fixing names and doing wiki links. This new article largely duplicates what was already in the Kassites article so that can be used for reference. There is also a certain amount of encyclopedia fluff, probably cargo culted from the french version, which needs to be whittled down.Ploversegg (talk) 15:31, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This article also need updates, especially with Bartelmus & Sternitzke 2017 and Paulus 2022. Zunkir (talk) 16:59, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
