Hi Gog the Mild, I don't think that in its present state it qualifies for A-class/FA. It is definitely a fairly complete treatment (definitely the most comprehensive one I know of) but not at the level of detail I would aspire to for the higher ratings. Nevertheless, as usual, feel free to be as nitpicky as you want. Kick the tires to your heart's content :) Constantine ✍ 16:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have been bold in my copy editing, so you will want to check it.
"His father, Ahmad ibn Tulun, was the son of a Turkish slave who had been appointed governor of Egypt since 868" Was his father or the slave appointed governor?
Sources: Bonner: the title should be in title case.
Another great little article and I am happy to promote.
Beyond GA it is pretty good. Some minor issues I would want to discuss with you if it were at FAC, but nothing black and white, so I left them. It is, IMO, FACable as it stands. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:03, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
