  • Can we put this to coincide with the battle's date? 21st of March.. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Article has recently passed a GA review, it has been nominated within the seven days since it passed, QPQ is done and the hook is cited to an RS. @Makeandtoss: I'd adjust the hook to read:

    ... that during the Battle of Karameh, the Israeli Army aborted a plan to retrieve two of its tanks (pictured) that were left behind in Jordan?

  • The picture is of good quality. I agree with the nominator's request to post this on the battle's anniversary on 21 March (five days from now), I think it's a good idea. However, @BlueMoonset: I wonder if it's too short notice? If not, I'd ask the promoting admin to please check this nomination as soon as possible so it could be posted on 21 March. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:19, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
