  • ... that Amman's downtown area is located in a valley (pictured) surrounded by mountains that created a natural enclosure attracting urban settlement over the millennia?

  • Expanded yesterday, long enough, Earwig is 40% but entirely due to an attributed quote.
  • The image is PD and used. While I have my doubts, it could work at DYK.
  • The hook is cited and in the article.
  • QPQ has been done.
  • The article is a nice piece of work GAN next?
  • IMO the hook is over long and goes a little off topic. Can I suggest ALT1 ... that Amman's downtown area is located in a valley (pictured) which has attracted urban settlement for millennia? Gog the Mild (talk) 21:06, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
@Gog the Mild: To be honest I lost interest after having finished the history bulk of the article, so a GA work would require someone interested in the other bits. As for the picture, as long as it is uploaded with a correct PD license then it could be used anywhere on WP. I agree with your ALT1. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:51, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
