 * Ok, I have no objection to the new hook. . RRD (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All right, ALT1 is good to go. striking ALT0.  D Big X ray ᗙ  16:34, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I find the article too confusing to promote this hook. I understand that little is known of the detail of Shah Jahan II's life, but there is confusion and contradiction over which brother is older "Shah Jahan II suffered from tuberculosis just like his elder brother" and "He was eighteen months older than his brother Rafi ud-Darajat" and the second statement even used "years" before I thought I could clear up the confusion by substituting "months". Please check the article carefully and match it up with the article Rafi ud-Darajat. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:44, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Shah Jahan II is the older than Rafi-ud-Darajat. But inadvertently I wrote the opposite. However, I have now made the changes. Also Rafi-ud-Darajat article is neither FA nor GA. Moreover it is unsourced. So it cant be used as a "reference". RRD (talk) 10:23, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Replacing tick as per DBigXray's review. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I am confused by the wording of ALT1. Do you mean:
 * ALT1a: ... that despite being the emperor of India, Shah Jahan II (pictured) food, visits, and meetings were decided by the powerful Sayyid brothers who had chosen him as the Mughal emperor?
 * But why are you calling him two kinds of emperor, Indian and Mughal? Could the hook be tightened? Perhaps something along the lines of:
 * ALT2: ... that Shah Jahan II (pictured) food, visits, and meetings were decided by the powerful Sayyid brothers who had chosen him as the Mughal emperor? Yoninah (talk) 19:03, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yoninah, Emperor of India refers to the Indian empire, his kingdom, while Mughal emperor was added as a reference to his Mughal Dynasty. what do you think of above suggestions ?  D Big X ray ᗙ  04:08, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT2 is better. In international context, I dont think people are habituated with the historic Indian subcontinent being referred to as India only. Also, I think that emperor of India is not correct in international context. RRD (talk) 07:58, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ok then. I am fine to go with the majority here. ALT 2 can proceed.  D Big X ray ᗙ  08:04, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Restoring tick for ALT2 per DBigXray. Yoninah (talk) 20:35, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
