Looks interesting.Review comments coming soon.--Catlemur (talk) 22:31, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"When a servant was sent to buy provisions in the village, he aroused the suspicions of the locals with their strange dress and manner, who notified a local official, Abu Khubzah."

This sentence seems a bit confusing.

Making a short introduction to the beliefs of the Qarmatians might also be beneficial.--Catlemur (talk) 18:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the strengths and casualties of the battle can be incorporated into the infobox.

"Originally a sporadic and minor nuisance". I think that this passage should be rewritten since the Qarmatians were not simply bandits but a religious sect.--Catlemur (talk) 14:38, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Catlemur, and thanks for taking the time to review this. I was waiting until you finish the review so I could deal with your suggestions at once. Are you done? Constantine ✍ 21:25, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine I did not find any else to point out so you can start.--Catlemur (talk) 21:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Catlemur, I think I've dealt with your suggestions, and I've added a few more details on the preliminaries of the battle. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 22:53, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
