I will be undertaking the GA Reassessment of this article. H1nkles (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first para in the "Biblical narrative" section has a lot of weasel wording in it. These include, "it is believed", and "is considered".
This section also needs some MOS compliance editing. I've done some work on it, adding hard dashes and spaces. H1nkles (talk) 21:42, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've completed the article and made lots of edits to remove excessive linking and fix some MOS compliance issues. I'm not overly impressed with the article there are a lot of little problems that make it hard for me to recommend keep at this point. For example:

The references need page numbers and I note that all the Qur'anic references are in one cite [23] while the Biblical references are in separate cites, why is that?
"However, Muslim scholars came to endorse that it was Ishmael", which Muslim scholars?
As stated above there is weasel wording throughout the article.
(see Galatians 4:21-30[16]).[3], the citation should go after the period not before re: [16].
There needs to be (ndash) hard spaces between spans of page numbers and dates and verses. I made some corrections but I see more. I feel at this point that I should hold the article for a week for fixes to be made. If no work is done then I will likely demote the article. I don't think it will take much to keep it GA but I don't feel comfortable keeping it GA with the work that needs to be done. H1nkles (talk) 23:00, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
