  • The battles of Madhar and Harura (Yawm Madhār and Yawm Ḥarūrāʾ) Maybe add Arab here as languange?
  • the Syria-centered Umayyad Caliphate emanated from the Mecca-based caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr I do not think we should link Mecca because of common term.
  • The Basrans' right wing attacked and defeated the Kufans' left wing. Shortly afterwards British afterwards.
  • would have been fought in the middle of 686.[18][14] Re-order the refs here.
  • According to the Orientalist Henri Lammens, Mus'ab "executed --> "According to the orientalist Henri Lammens, Mus'ab "executed"
  • In the note Madhar was situated 48 kilometers (30 mi) north of modern day al-Qurnah --> "Madhar was situated 48 kilometers (30 mi) north of modern-day al-Qurnah"
  • @CPA-5: Done. I made the revisions a couple days ago, but forgot to ping you. The only thing is I kept the Mecca link as it's pertinent to the article (being the seat of the caliph Ibn al-Zubayr) and maybe not all readers are familiar with the city). Also, I'll work on an Arabic script for the titles; just indicated for now that the names Yawm Madhar and Yawm Harura are the Arabic transliterations. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some ISBNs use hyphens others don't maybe standardise them.
  • "The Umayyad Caliphate, 65-86/684-705 (a Political Study)" --> "The Umayyad Caliphate, 65–86/684–705 (a Political Study)"
  • Can you standardise the 10/13 ISBN styles?
  • Again here my preference is for the 10-digit form, but I could not find it for Donner (2010).
  • Lammens and Hawting have the same ISBN?
  • Streck says it was published in 1990 but Google Books claims 1954?
  • This may be a Google Books error. The publisher, Brill, lists its publication in 1991. See here.
  • Vaglieri has no ISBN?
  • Added isbn now.

That's anything Al Ameer son. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 13:18, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
