 * Symbol question.svg Date, length ok. Nice article. I would switch to using File:Koutbia.jpg as the photo though. One problem, the hook ref at NYT turns up a dead link to me. --Soman (talk) 16:08, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

 * The first sentence mentions the central part of Homs and that is where the mosque is located. If it is not accepatble the sentence can be deleted.User:Nvvchar
