(

)

... that Kara Mustafa Pasha, the founder of the Ridwan dynasty, was a former gate-slave of Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent?

Hook sentence does not have a fn attached to it, verified the gate slave from the ref given for the subsequent sentence (Zeʼevi p. 39), however did not find the information that he was Christian on that page. Skäpperöd (talk) 21:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I might have to rework the hook, because his former Christian faith is only implied in the source which say he was a "slave of the gate (kapi kul), a product of the devsirme system ..." The slaves of the devsirme system were from Christian families. If this implication doesn't cut it for the hook, let me know what the best option is. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Drive-by comments, not a review: Al Ameer son, pls be reminded of the QPQ peer review requirement. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Review done and removed "Christian" from hook pending direct reference to his former faith. --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Needs a full review now that QPQ is satisfied. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:05, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The Arap thing was inconsistent throughout the article. I've changed it to "Arap". Was it supposed to be 'Arap? The sentence with the hook in needs to have a reference directly afterwards, not at the end of the paragraph. The article is long enough, and was new enough when submitted.

Arap is a Turkish nickname, not a given name. It stands for "Arab." Anyway, it's not a major issue and I added the citation to the hook line in the article. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:16, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. AGF on the offline source. Secretlondon (talk) 22:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
