Religion in South Ossetia
- ... that the . "It was through their political relations with the Byzantines—and also through the inmuence of missionaries from neighbouring Georgia to the south—that the Alan elite nominally accepted eastern Christianity during the tenth century. This seems to have had little effect on the general Alan population, however, and the thirteenth-century Flemish traveller William of Rubruck states that of Christianity ‘they know nothing apart from the name of Christ’."

Overall: 
QPQ is not required as this appears to be the nominator's first DYK hook according to the QPQ checker, verifying this could be appreciated. I am approving ALT2 in particular. ALT0 doesn't seem very interesting in my opinion, and unless I'm missing something, ALT1 is not verified within the article itself (the Jews outnumbering Georgians is, but not the Ossetians) and therefore this leaves ALT2. If it turns out I'm missing something, then I believe ALT1 to be more interesting, but I'll leave it up to whoever promotes this hook further. λ NegativeMP1 22:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- @NegativeMP1 It's not my first DYK nom, but it is my 4th, so QPQ is still unnecessary. I've clarified the information relating to ALT1 in the article, so it should be more easily verifiable now (it was in the sources, just not explicitly stated in the article itself). Personally, I do think ALT0 is interesting, because generally you become Christian when you convert to Christianity. Either way, thanks for the review! sawyer * he/they * talk 23:02, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
