GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
The prose is clear and concise, and well written. I've fixed a few very minor grammatical issues. Earwig reports no copyright violations. However, there are contradictory statements in the "Reign" section: "a delegation of Egypt-based emirs ... arrived in al-Karak to inform an-Nasir Ahmad of Qawsun's execution", but later, Ahmad "ordered Qawsun and Altunbugha ... to be executed." -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the mistake per the source (see edit summary). The delegation informed the sultan of Qawsun's ouster. The sultan had him executed after his arrival to Egypt. --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Lead, layout, formatting are in compliance. Not related to fiction or lists. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't think of any important aspect that the article does not cover. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
There's only one image, and no portrait of the man, but that's expected for an article about a Muslim ruler. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass or Fail: A well written article with some minor issues that need to be fixed. Almost there. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanhe: Thanks for the review and the improvements. I addressed your point above and corrected the contradictory statement about Qawsun. Let me know if there's any other issues. Cheers --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
