... that Bahadur Shah I ascended the Mughal throne in 1707 at the age of 63?
Improved to Good Article status by Royroydeb (talk). Self-nominated at 08:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC).
Quite a nice nom and article. QPQ is done, image is obviously OK, copyvio is clear, hook is interesting and reliably cited, and this passes policy. GA-improved. LavaBaron (talk) 09:59, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but am wondering why it is an interesting hook fact? Yoninah (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yoninah I dont know about other countries, but in India he is one of the few rulers to have ascended the throne at this age. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 05:33, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

- @Royroydeb: I understand that people didn't live so long hundreds of years ago. But I think the hook for this GA should be more hooky. What do you think about:
- ALT1: ... that after trying to overthrow his father twice in ten years, Bahadur Shah I resorted to being a "grudgingly obedient son"? Yoninah (talk) 17:44, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yoninah OK, the new hook is nice. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. New reviewer needed for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 12:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- Article promoted to GA, no issues related to article, copyvio unlikely, image is free, ALT1 looks interesting, article is also interesting. QPQ done. Good to go.--Human3015TALK 14:19, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
