Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status and should have my full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Background, "Nikephoros assembled his army and marched out himself to meet a second, larger invasion under the Caliph himself." Is there any way to avoid the repetition of "himself"?

The campaign, "(gazi, hajj)" What is this supposed to mean?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Sources all look good, no indication of OR or copyvio.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Other than a couple of minor prose issues (detailed above), I can find nothing of issue in this article. Because of that, I am passed it to GA as is; I hope that the issues I list above will be rectified, but in my opinion they do not reflect on the article's readability to the point of preventing it from being listed as a GA.
