Script example

The script sample included as an example of how computers use a Naskh/Naskh-inspired font, seems to be a tautological example: If a user has set his/her preferred script as something other than Naskh, then the text would not be presented in Naskh-font, and the text sample does not do what it is intended to do, namely give an example of Naskh being used on computers.

Naskh Script article evaluation Assesment

Naskh Script

This article discussed one of the most important Arabic and specifically Islamic scripts, which is the Naskh script. I chose this article because of its direct connection to the subject we are studying on this course.

The article was notable for more than one reason. It was covered in a focused academic manner and relied on trustworthy sources such as:

Blair, Sheila (2006). Islamic Calligraphy. Edinburgh University Press. ISBN 9780748612123.

The Splendor of Islamic Calligraphy. Abdelkebir Khatibi and Mohamed Sijelmassi. New York: Thames and Hudson. 1996. ISBN 0500016755. OCLC 34275017.

In addition to more than ten other sources distinguished by their independence, reliability, and substantive coverage. Thus, the element of notability was achieved.

As for the connection of the article to the course, it was undoubtedly related to Islamic art since it addressed one of the most widely used Arabic scripts for writing and copying the sacred book of Muslims, the Qur’an. It also discussed the historical development of the Naskh script and its use in documents, in addition to its importance as an ancient Qur’anic script.

Lead Section was not entirely successful, as it described the Naskh script as a common Arabic script in Islamic use, but we still needed a brief idea about the history of this script and its significance.

Content, the article covered the most important required aspects such as origin, development, uses, and visual examples.

As for neutrality, the article fulfilled this element since the content was not biased toward any opinion or ideology.

The sources and references were at an appropriate level, and they were respected sources with clear academic value.

Organization and writing quality were good, as it was organized into sections such as the origin of the script, its description, and its uses.

Images and Media presentation was excellent, as it included Qur’anic manuscripts that helped convey the description of this script both artistically and visually.

Talk page Discussion the article was modest, perhaps because it is still at its early stage. Therefore, it needs more support. Start-Class, which means it is in its beginning.

Overall impressions the article on the Naskh script was strong and based on good academic sources. It can be improved and supported with more documented information and details about the use of the Naskh script and its spread in the modern era.Alabadiwiki (talk) 02:01, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Alabadiwiki (talk) 01:56, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
