 * ... that ablaq is an Arabic term of alternating or fluctuating rows of light and dark color schemes of stonework design in a building (pictured)?


 * Reference for hook can be found at Dictionary of Islamic Architecture, p. 1
 * Reviewed Governor of Tennessee
 * Reviewed Moses (horse)


 * Symbol question.svg Length, sourcing (AGF for offline sources,) and NPOV all check out as does the image use. The Hook is fine (I wikilinked Arabic language). There's only one little line in the article that needs a citation: It is said this is an example of Chiaroscuro. Once that's taken care of you guys are good to go. --Al Ameer son (talk) 22:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a quick comment: fluctuating seems odd to me in this context. Should it be alternating? Lady  of  Shalott  23:07, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The minor issue was fixed so I'm happy to pass this nomination. I also recommend LadyofShallot's suggestion to change "fluctuating" to "alternating." Makes more sense. --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I put in both with an explanatory end note. Sometimes it's 2 colors, sometimes more, depending on where, when and who built it. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 02:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
