Two volunteers were involved in the review process, which identified some places where sourcing could be improved and more detail could be added. After I made the requested improvements, the article passed review and was added to the showcase in the [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Good articles/Art and architecture#Artists_and_art_organizations|Art & architecture section]]. A volunteer translated a short summary of the Yabu Meizan article [[:en:fa:یابو_میزان|into Persian]]. [[:w:en:Palermo Quran|Palermo Quran]] and [[:w:en:Isfahan Quran|Isfahan Quran]] both appeared in the Did You Know? section of the English Wikipedia's home page, with images. This resulted in just under 15 million image views. The attention resulted in some translations: Palermo Quran was translated into Turkish and Spanish, while Isfahan Quran was translated into Persian and Spanish. I wrote [https://www.khalili.foundation/2026/06/12/quran-manuscripts-on-wikipedia/ a news item for the Khalili Foundation] about my improvements to several Quran-related Wikipedia articles. [[File:Khalili Collection Hajj and Arts of Pilgrimage Arc.pp-0254.2.jpg|thumb|right|The Great Mosque in 1880, photographed by [[:w:simple:Muhammad Sadiq (photographer)|Muhammad Sadiq]]]] I "translated" the Muhammad Sadiq (photographer) article [[:w:simple:Muhammad Sadiq (photographer)|into Simple English]]. This involved lots of careful re-writing, first using the [https://hemingwayapp.com/ Hemingway tool] to identify sentences that were not Simple English (nearly all of them), then re-writing, then checking again with Hemingway, then doing further passes to shorten sentences and use more simple words. This is the 104th new article created by this partnership and the second in Simple English. As well as adding Sadiq's photographs to his own article, I added them to the Simple English article about the Masjid al-Haram. === Heading 2 === <br /> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=June 2026}}</noinclude> 9p5i1mvgrufjnpbqgnx5q93celfbfc8
