... that Sarkis Lole, the
Armenian chief architect of
Mardin who constructed much of the early modern architecture of the city, never received any formal training and designed his buildings in the sand? Source:
[1] Wharton 2016, 127: “Concerning the legacy of the mimarbaşı of Mardin, Serkis Elyas Lole, it is clear from the memories of his living relatives, and of descendants of those who worked as part of his team that Lole was responsible for much of the architecture in the city. They attribute the majority of Mardin’s nineteenth-century mansions (konaks), churches, institutions, and even mosque repairs to Lole” and “Serkis is not known to have trained professionally and designed buildings by drawing in the sand”

Overall: I would prefer the second hook because it ties nicely with the image (which is really pretty). VRtalk 14:32, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Vice regent: Thank you for your review! I agree that his architectural works are really pretty and the second hook complements that best. Have a great day!

Theleekycauldron: Hello! Sorry for responding so late. As far as I can see both of the hooks are cited inline in the article. The first one is cited in the body and the second one is cited in the lede and in the image caption. Please let me know if i’m missing something. Cheers.

@
TagaworShah: the hook fact has to be cited right at the end of the sentence; normally, I'd do that myself, but since it's a book that I can't access, it falls on you to use the proper citation there.
