Persian column

 * ... that the earliest modern revivals of the ancient Persian columns of the Achaemenid Empire (example at Persepolis pictured) were by Parsis in India, rather than in Iran? India: here, p. 63ff, also here, Iran: [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/architecture-vii

 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. QPQ is done. Image is freely licensed. However, I could not verify the hook. I checked the sources linked above, and could not find one that explicitly says the first modern revivals were by Indian Parsis. Am I missing something? -Zanhe (talk) 05:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok try p. 59-60, and note 35, p. 68 on the first Indian source? Also, the Encyclopedia Iranica article on the period up to 1925 makes no mention of Achaemenid Revival architecture, because there wasn't any. There's this lecture, around 6:10-6:20, 23:15-26 and 32: from the same prof.   Johnbod (talk) 18:29, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I read pages 59-60 and 68, without finding anything that directly supports the hook. And I don't know what lecture you were referring to as you didn't provide a link. Please provide a source and a quotation. Thanks. -Zanhe (talk) 19:37, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Probably I'd better think of a new hook if the above doesn't do it for you. I'll try to find something less interesting matching with a direct quote. Sorry I forgot the lecture link. Johnbod (talk) 00:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT1 added above. Let the reader do the maths. Sources are the same. Johnbod (talk) 15:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Cmt, prefer original hook, which seems fine wrt sources. "earliest modern revivals of the ancient..." is much clearer. Ceoil (talk) 20:07, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 is verified and good to go. If you prefer ALT0, please present an RS that explicitly supports it. Otherwise it cannot be used. -Zanhe (talk) 00:13, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
