[?25l[?25lI'll share my reasoning process (using tool: thinking): I see a few issues with the applied document:
1. There's a duplicate `# Zoroastrianism` heading (two H1 headings)
2. The `@t[~2001]` tag was incorrectly added to the "Sacred fire" line - this is a CE date tag for 2001 which makes no sense. The review answer said "Scholarship remains current" but the tool added a temporal tag for the publication year 2001, which is wrong. The sacred fire has been a symbol since ancient times, not since 2001.
3. The Review Queue section still has 2 stale questions that weren't cleared
4. The footnotes separator `---` is missing a newline before it
Let me fix these issues:
1. Remove the duplicate H1 heading
2. Remove the incorrect `@t[~2001]` tag from the sacred fire line
3. Clean up the review queue section (remove the answered stale questions)
4. Fix the footnote separator
Also, I need to file a bug about the `@t[~2001]` being incorrectly added - the tool interpreted "2001" from the footnote citation year as a temporal date.
Then I need to enrich the document with web search.

2. Incorrect @t[~2001] tag added to the sacred fire line (tool misread "2001" from the footnote citation as a temporal date)

[?25l[?25lI'll share my reasoning process (using tool: thinking): I now have rich information from Encyclopaedia Iranica (a top scholarly source for Iranian studies). Let me identify what's new and worth adding to the document:
1. **Zoroaster's date**: The majority of scholars favor dates around 1000 BCE, with plausible arguments ranging from 13th century BCE to mid-6th century BCE. The current document says "~15001000 BCE or ~600 BCE" which is accurate but could be more precise.
2. **Parthian period**: The document mentions Zoroastrianism as state religion of Parthian empire, but the Iranica article notes that knowledge of Zoroastrianism during the Arsacid/Parthian period is "very fragmentary" and the Sasanians portrayed Arsacids as poor custodians of Zoroastrianism. The Arsacids did maintain religious tolerance.
3. **Sasanian period**: The Sasanian dynasty was founded ca. 224 CE. The Sasanians developed a theology of unity of church and state, were intolerant of other religions, and greatly expanded sacred fires. The Avesta was canonized under Khosrow I (531-79 CE).
4. **Arab conquest**: Yazdagird III perished in 651 CE - this matches the document. The Sasanian empire fell to Arab conquest by 642 CE.
5. **Parsi migration**: A significant migration of Zoroastrians to India occurred likely in the 8th or 9th century (not immediately after 651 CE).
6. **Current population**: Wikipedia says ~50,000 Parsis in India (2011 census). The document says "~100,000200,000 worldwide" which may be outdated - the Wikipedia article on Zoroastrian population says the larger part consists of Parsis at ~50,000 in India. Total worldwide is probably around 100,000-120,000.
7. **Aməša Spəntas**: Zoroaster surrounded Ahura Mazda with abstract entities called the Aməša Spəntas (Bounteous Immortals) - this is a key theological concept not in the document.
8. **Frašō-kərəti**: The concept of the final Renovation of the Cosmos (Frashkard) - related to eschatology.
9. **Magi**: The priestly caste that assumed Zoroastrian priestly functions.
10. **Sasanian dynasty dates**: ca. 224 CE to 651 CE.
11. **Influence on Judaism**: The Iranica article notes this influence surfaced beginning in the 5th century BCE but persisted well into the Parthian period.
12. **The Gathas**: The oldest texts, composed by Zoroaster himself, preserved by oral tradition for centuries.
Let me think about what to add to the document that would be genuinely enriching:
Key additions:
1. Add Sasanian Empire dates and note it as the last Zoroastrian state
2. Add the Aməša Spəntas concept
3. Add the Magi as the priestly caste
4. Clarify Parsi migration timing (8th-9th century, not immediately after 651)
5. Update population figures (current estimates ~100,000-120,000 worldwide, ~50,000 Parsis in India per 2011 census)
6. Add the concept of Frašō-kərəti (final renovation)
7. Add a note about the Avesta canonization under Sasanians
8. Add the Saošyant (savior figure) concept
I should also add a new footnote for the Encyclopaedia Iranica source.
Let me also note: the document currently has a duplicate H1 heading issue that I already fixed. Let me now write the enriched version.
Current structure:
- Overview
- Key Facts
- Core Beliefs
- Historical Influence
- Footnotes
I'll add:
- A "Priesthood" or expand Core Beliefs to include Aməša Spəntas and Magi
- Expand Historical Influence with Sasanian details and Parsi migration timing
- Update population figures
- Add new footnote for Iranica
Let me be surgical and add only what's genuinely new and well-sourced.
