This previously failed the FAC process (archived discussion from December), but has vastly improved since. It is very well researched, comprehensive and includes excellent sound samples in ogg format. It is also a successful example of the recently more dynamic peer review process. See the article's peer review entry here. Gareth Hughes has really done some impressive work on this. Not a self nomination, but I was minorly involved in its peer review process. - Taxman 17:22, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
- I'd recommend shortening it by spinning off some subarticles, but still support. Everyking 17:36, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support — I've put a fair ammount of work into this article, and felt it was still incomplete when it was last put up for FAC. It had a very good and positive peer review, and I now feel it's ready to be listed here. One constant comment is about the length of the article: I did spin off Biblical Aramaic and the Aramaic of Jesus (these two things dominated the old article) as well as separate pages for each of the modern Aramaic languages. I hope the history sections put the language in good context, but I feel that a history of Aramaic article might rob this article of its context. Gareth Hughes 18:21, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support: A very good article overall, one of the few things I thought could be improved would be to add a map of the current geographic distribution to the "Geographic distribution" section. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 02:24, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)
- Support. Even last time I thought this was excellent. A map would be cool, though. - Mustafaa 05:02, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support. One more that makes me so proud of Wikipedia; this is a magnificent article. Thanks Gareth! Agree with Mustafaa and <insert unspeakable username here> that a map really would be cool, though I understand that's difficult. — mark ✎ 16:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support. Nice work. Perhaps a lead can be expanded, though. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 13:21, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
