GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
 * The prose is clear and concise, and well written. I've fixed a few very minor grammatical issues. Earwig reports no copyright violations. However, there are contradictory statements in the "Reign" section: "a delegation of Egypt-based emirs ... arrived in al-Karak to inform an-Nasir Ahmad of Qawsun's execution", but later, Ahmad "ordered Qawsun and Altunbugha ... to be executed." -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've corrected the mistake per the source (see edit summary). The delegation informed the sultan of Qawsun's ouster. The sultan had him executed after his arrival to Egypt. --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * Lead, layout, formatting are in compliance. Not related to fiction or lists. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * I can't think of any important aspect that the article does not cover. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * B. Focused:
 * It is focused and does not contain excessive details. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * No edit wars. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status:
 * The sole image is tagged with a free license. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * There's only one image, and no portrait of the man, but that's expected for an article about a Muslim ruler. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: A well written article with some minor issues that need to be fixed. Almost there. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and the improvements. I addressed your point above and corrected the contradictory statement about Qawsun. Let me know if there's any other issues. Cheers --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
