Muharram in Bahrain

 * ... that due to the large number of pilgrims who visit Bahrain during Muharram (Muharram procession pictured), the country has been referred to as the "Karbala of the Gulf"?

 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. The hook (which I have tweaked) is supported and the image is licensed appropriately. My only concern is the copyright status of the article as a bot tagged it immediately after it was written. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I wrote the background part (Which was the part that was flagged) from this article. I do think that the bot accidentally flagged it as a copyright violation from here--Droodkin (talk) 10:21, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You may have got the information from the Mourning of Muharram article but I believe that article is a copyright violation of this source. You will find the duplicate detector (set at 4 words and 20 characters) finds multiple, lengthy repeated phrases in your article that are too close to the original source.

 * That's unfortunate. I did some copy-editing though, it should be alright now.--Droodkin (talk) 13:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg That looks better. I may have been misled by duplication in the quoted passage. Ready to go now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
