GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. 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]
  1. 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]
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:
    Yes. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Citations to reliable sources, where necessary:
    Reliable sources cited throughout. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    C. No original research:
    All conclusions or opinions are supported with reliable neutral sources. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    I can't think of any important aspect that the article does not cover. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Focused:
    It is focused and does not contain excessive details. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Neutrally written in a dispassionate tone. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
    No edit wars. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status:
    The sole image is tagged with a free license. -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]
  7. 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]

Article now meets all GA criteria. Thanks for the interesting and well written article. -Zanhe (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
