"Anna Magyar"
Source for "Anna Magyar of Hungary" as the mother of Abaqa's wife Maria? "Anna Magyar" is hardly a correct name, it sounds like something cribbed from an internet genealogy website. Michael VIII had at least one known mistress, an unnamed Diplobatzaina who was definitely the mother of his illegitimate daughter Euphrosyne. Since Euphrosyne and Maria married in the same year, they were probably about the same age, making the Diplobatzaina a more likely mother for Maria than some mysteriously Hungarian.

Unbalanced
Currently this article gives far too much weight to Abaqa's relations with the Crusaders, and very little attention is given to other aspects of Abaqa's reign, such as the civil wars within the Mongol Empire. Since this is a violation of WP:UNDUE, I have tagged the article as unbalanced, until the other sections can be expanded. --Elonka 19:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If the article is merely unbalanced in its coverage because of who has edited it with what information when, is that so bad? Surely it needs work, but don't most articles? This isn't a problem of presenting a biased account so much as a problem of presenting only half an account. The article needs to be rounded out, but so do a great many articles at Wikipedia. Is the article really biased in favour of a particular viewpoint on a controversial issue? I thought you had cleaned up that aspect of its Crusader relations coverage.

Abaqa Christian coin
I had read about Abaqa's Christian coins, but never actually seen one. One was recently on sale (I missed it though) here. The obverse consists in Uighur script, but the reverse in Arabic apparently says within one square: Bism al 'ab ("In the name of the father") Wal Ibn ("The son") Wa ruh al kudus ("The Holy Spirit") Ilahun Wahid ("One God"), with a Christian cross in the lower part.
