Mirza Zulqarnain

 * ... that 17th-century traveller Peter Mundy, described Mirza Zulqarnain as the "chiefest" Christian of the Mughal Empire? (Husain 1998, p. 263)
 * ALT1:... that in 1632, Mirza Zulqarnain presented five elephants to the Mughal court as nazr?
 * ALT2:... that Mirza Zulqarnain, an Armenian official of the Mughal Empire, was brought up in the royal harem until the age of 12?

 * Thank you for the detailed review. All done apart from explaining Nazr in the hook. It's difficult to define with accuracy anyway and is linked so readers can easily find our more by clicking. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:38, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, great. Two remaining comments:
 * The comma after Mundy is not required (I could remove it myself, but then a third reviewer needs to review the hook, which is a waste of time.)
 * If you choose not to define nazr, I am afraid you do need to make ALT1 more "hooky" for it to be approved: See Did you know/Reviewing guide for an overview with some tips.-- Farang Rak Tham   (Talk) 09:23, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It is hooky, precisely because it is not explained. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, i guess we agree to disagree here. Approving ALT2. I'd prefer the main hook, but the comma is a little odd.
