Talk:Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani

Untitled
The "Book of Songs" link points to the Chinese book rather than the Kitab al-Aghani. Recommend making both the English and Arabic transliteration point to the same location, namely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitab_al-Aghani.

 * I've integrated in most of the information from 10.15347/wjh/2020.001. A few aspects I'm uncertain of WP:MOS for:
 * What's most common practice with CE/AH dates? Is it reasonable to use both throughout or should one or the other be chosen?
 * The dates section contains some pretty important information on how certain the dates involved are, however jumping into it as the first section seems intense from a WP section ordering point of view. Any ideas for better placement? Should it be a section lower down, it seems a bit long for a footnote (I've trimmed it significantly from the original source).
 * It it worth simplifying sentences like "Based on al-Iṣfahānī’s references in the Kitāb al-Aghānī (hereafter, the Aghānī), Aḥmad b. al-Ḥaytham seems to have led a privileged life in Sāmarrāʾ, while his sons were well-connected with the elite of the ʿAbbāsid capital at that time." to "Aḥmad b. al-Ḥaytham likely led a privileged life in Sāmarrāʾ, while his sons were well-connected with the elite of the ʿAbbāsid capital at that time.[reference]"?
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance. ( also pinging people who I'd previously discussed this article with in the context of footnote formatting in case it's of interest) T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 03:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
