Congratulations for your first GAN. You do not need to accept my recommendations, but please inform me if you do not agree with any of them, ideally with a reference to the relevant GA criterion.
@Thx56: this link ([1]) does not list you among the significant contributors to the article. Why do you think you can nominate it?
Mention the years of reign of Ibrahim I in brackets.
...from the start Be more specific.
Introduce Kairouan with one or two words.
It was recorded... When and by whom?
Introduce Ziyadat as the third emir.
...Arab troops (the jund)... Delete either "Arab troops", or "(the jund)".
...who owned a fortress... Did he own it?
...(224 AH)... Delete for consistency.
Introduce Ibn Kathir with one or two words. A link to him?
The narration about the conquest of Sicily is unclear. A single garrison from Mineo participated in the campaign or was it directed by the central government? I would delete all details of individual battles.
Introduce Mineo.
Introdce Theodotus.
...possibly with the support of some Neapolitans,... Delete.
..., which Ziyadat Allah launched right after defeating the jund rebellion that started in 824,... Delete.
At home, the Aghlabid emirs faced significant criticism from Maliki religious scholars,... Repetition of info mentioned in the first section.
...the kingdom... Was it a kingdom?
Introduce Ibrahim II as the ninth Aghlabid emir.
Could you specify where Raqqada was located? Do we know why Ibrahim built a new palace?
An attack by the Tulunids of Egypt had to be repelled and a revolt of the Berbers put down with much loss of life. A tag requests a citation.
Introduce the Fatimids as the Abbasids' opponents.
..., the dā'ī of the future caliph Abdallah al-Mahdi,... Is this relevant? If yes, explain dai, and mention that Abdallah was the future Fatimid caliph.
Introduce Ikjan as a town.
... (Saturday, 1 Rajab 296)... Delete for consistency.
Delink Mu'tazilite, Hanafi and Maliki.
A link to Khalq al-Qur'an?
A link to Sahsun?
Introduce Muhammad I as the fifth Aghlabid emir.
...for rejecting the Mu'tazilite concept that the Qur'an was created Delete.
..., such Al-Zaytuna Mosque, which they had reconstructed by 864 Delete, because it will be mentioned in the following section.
As Sunni Muslims, the Aghlabids were vassals of the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad, representing the influence and presence of the Abbasids throughout Ifriqiya. The Aghlabids maintained strained relations with the Rustamid dynasty of Tahert, who adhered to the Kharijite Ibadi sect. Consolidate the two sentences and delete the reference to the Abbasids: "As Sunni Muslims, the Aghlabids maintained strained relations with the Rustamid dynasty ..."
...are believed to be imports... By whom?
...some scholars ... Could you name one or two?
...and which may contain the oldest foundation inscription crediting a private individual (rather than a ruler) for a mosque's construction Delete, or attribute the PoV to a scholar.
Do we have info about the fate of the Aghlabids after their fall?
I would delete section 4 "Aghlabid rulers", because section 5 "Family tree" contains the same information.

@Nikkimaria: I am seeking your opinion on the copyright status of "File:Dinar Aghlabide - 192 AH (obverse-reverse).jpg" [2]. Thank you for your time. Borsoka (talk)

- Tunisian freedom of panorama excludes museums, so this would need a copyright tag for the coin itself. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:07, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
