I have done some copy editing. As usual, please flag up anything you don't like.

  • I think that ghulam should point to ghilman.
  • A non-GAN point: foreign words should use lang templates, not just italics.
  • Introduce Fa'iq in both the lead and the article.
  • "After the reign of Nuh I". Do you mean since the start of his reign? Or during it?
Oops, I meant since. Fixed it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:06, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could we be told who the Samanid were, where they were situated, and how long they had been an independent state?
  • A little more on, well anything on, the ghulam/ghilman would be helpful.
  • "who were their suzerain" Any chance of an in line explanation or different phrasing, so that readers other than thee or me will know what is meant without having to read another article?
  • A brief summary of what a Qarmatian is?
  • "His palace in Khurasan was soon afterwards raided by the ghulams, who threw the administration into a state of chaos." Should "who" be 'which'?
"Who" is correct. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "File:Abdal-MalikSamanidCoinHistoryofIran.jpg" needs a PD tag for the original coin.

Ah yes soz, I do plan to fix these issues at least by the end of next weekend. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh boi, I completely forgot this article existed. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's about it, thoughts? --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
