- First hook is interesting to me. ALT1, not so much.
- There's currently an error on the Abbas 1988 ref. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:12, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- QPQ has been done. Re NPOV, the article lead has "repeatedly distinguished himself for his fairness" (bold added by me for emphasis here) but the article only seem to mention his fairness in respect of edistributing the land tax (kharaj) of Khurasan; there's a later mention of "governing with wisdom and generosity" but that doesn't seem to me quite the same as fairness. Thanks for your work on the article, Cplakidas; let me know when you've fixed the Abbas ref and about my NPOV question. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi BennyOnTheLoose, thanks for reviewing this. Removed 'repeatedly'. On the reference, I can't see the error. Can you explain? Constantine ✍ 20:25, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Constantine. I see " Abbas 1988. sfn error: no target: CITEREFAbbas1988 (help)" in the references section, footnote 4, with a link to the relevant help page. Might be one of the scripts I have installed which is showing this. I can try and fix it if you don;t see the error message. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- I also have the scripts, but don't see anything. Either way, Abbas 1988 quite obviously exists, and when clicking on the ref, it directs me to the correct source. Maybe this is a false positive? If you can correct whatever it is, please go ahead, and thanks! Constantine ✍ 20:42, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Constantine, I tried the page when logged out and no error shows. I think the error message i'm getting may be because the "1988" doesn't appear in the source when you look at what's there, but displays on the page from the Encyclopaedia Iranica template used. No reason not to approve. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
added as this isn't showing as approved, Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:22, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
