I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:31, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sturmvogel 66: I can take over this review, if it is okay for you. Thanks AhmadLX (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sturmvogel 66: I’m looking forward to your review. It has been over a month, but I’m in no rush. However, please let me know if you think you’ll be too busy to tackle this at all. In which case, I have no issue if AhmadLX would like to review this instead. Cheers, —Al Ameer (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for my delays on this. Let me take a stab at it; it's a very dense article.

External links OK, images appropriately licensed
Remove the overlinks for Syria and Mecca in the first para of the revolt section
response to the wellspring of opposition forming throughout Arabia wellsping isn't quite correct. I'd suggest "growing opposition throughout"
Ahmed needs an ISBN and location
Elad needs a location
Wellhausen needs an OCLC number and location
Very nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:53, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sturmvogel 66. Better late than never ;) I’ve addressed the initial issues you’ve raised. Let me know what else needs to be done. —Al Ameer (talk) 01:40, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"He was joined there by Husayn ibn Ali, who claimed the caliphate himself as per the treaty agreed by his brother Hasan (died 670) and Mu'awiya in 661. It stipulated that Husayn would become caliph after Mu'awiya's death if Hasan had already died. Husayn and his supporters made a stand against the Umayyads in Karbala in 680, but were defeated and Husayn was slain."[9] Nowhere does [9] mention why Husayn was revolting. Infact, AFAIK, nowhere did Husyan claim to have based his opposition on the basis of this treaty. As it stands, it is close to WP:OR. AhmadLX-)¯\_(ツ)_/¯) 19:52, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@AhmadLX: I forgot to remove this after you indicated it to me during the FAC for Mukhtar al-Thaqafi. Please remove the reasoning as it is currently stated and revise accordingly if you have sources. I will copyedit any changes if necessary. Otherwise, I need a few days to get full access to the sources and make the change myself. —Al Ameer (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
