I'll try to get at this one this week. It is an in-depth article on a vital topic, so it might take some time, but I'll do my best. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni|talk]]) 00:44, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 
'''[[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|GA]] review – see [[WP:WIAGA]] for criteria'''
 
#Is it '''well written'''?
#:A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct: {{GAList/check|+}}
#:: <s>{{tq|she presided over her sisterhood, the Athenai}} is a bit unclear. I'm not sure what her sisterhood is.</s>
#::::I have revised the phrase in question to better explain what the ''Athenai'' sisterhood was. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 20:07, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
#:: <s>{{tq|and thus perhaps the Lady of Athens.}} perhaps seems out of place and speculative. If it is a possible translation, there is probably a better way of phrasing it.</s>
#::::I have reworded this passage. "The Mistress of Athens" is a probable translation of "Athana Potnia." It is not speculative; it is used in most works on the subject. In fact, in more recent works, "the Mistress of Athens" seems to be the more common translation; "Athena of Athens" still occurs, but is generally more prevalent in older writings. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 18:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
#:: <s>{{tq|In this aspect, Athena was also known as Parthenos, which means "virgin", because she was believed to have never married or taken a lover}} How does this connect to the previous sentence about war? The phrasing seems to link the virginity to it.</s>
#::::Athena Parthenos was envisioned as a warrior maiden; this aspect of her emphasized her status as a virgin and also her status as a warrior. I have amended the passage to try to make this more self-evident. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 19:06, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for agreeing to review this article. I really appreciate it. If you happen to notice any problems at all, I am more than willing to address them. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 03:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|TonyBallioni}} Thank you so much! This is the third article I have nominated for GA that has been reviewed and the first one that has passed. I really appreciate you taking the time to review this article. I do still have five articles in the "Philosophy and religion" category that are still currently awaiting review. These are: [[Inanna]], [[Enlil]], [[Anunnaki]], [[Jonah]], and [[Pythagoras]]. I also have several other articles I am currently working on trying to bring to GA. In the meantime, I will continue reviewing your article [[Papal conclave, 1655]]. --[[User:Katolophyromai|Katolophyromai]] ([[User talk:Katolophyromai|talk]]) 04:13, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
