Checking against GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- Update: The lead has been brought into compliance with the WP:LEAD. It contains 4 paragraphs. Word for word, is shorter than the lead for the article on Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as the lead for the article on Winston Churchill-- both Good Articles.Maitham d (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Stray sentences need to be consolidated into paragraphs.
- Update: The most egregious stray sentences have all been consolidated. Maitham d (talk) 18:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

- Fair representation without bias:
Different historians and literati will surely continue to reinterpret Imru' al-Qais' life and works from a variety of perspectives. What is certain is his importance to the Arab cultural identity and its historical narrative. Unless attributed, this is a point of view statement.I have marked Some[who?] have suggested that Imru' al-Qais could have been influenced by the purported Mazdakism of his grandfather, though there is little direct evidence to support this. as the use of some here is a weasel word.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Update: "Different historians..." passage has been deleted. "Some have suggested..." passage has been modified to more accurately reflect the sourcing of the information. Maitham d (talk) 18:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

- The nominator has asked for extension. Hold extended until 17 March. GAN is not meant to be a lengthy process so this will be the limit. I answer to the nominator's queries, extension granted, you should be able to resolve the who question in seven days, no - images are not required (see WP:GACR for the criteria), compliance with WP:LEAD is a GA criterion. Please leave any further queries or points on this page, thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
