 * Hi, I'll review this. FunkMonk (talk) 13:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The first sentence of the intro is very complex and information-packed, I'm wondering whether it could start out a bit "softer". Perhaps some of the info could be moved to a new sentence after the first one.

All done so far,. 23 editor (talk) 01:31, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * "who formed a majority there before the mid-19th century but by 1990 represented only about ten percent of the population." Will it be too much to briefly explain how this happened?
 * "Once Kosovo's autonomy was abolished" Which was when?
 * "fueling the Kosovar uprising that eventually erupted in the spring of 1998." Anything this can link to?
 * "foreign mujahideen fighting" Could be explained what this means. "Foreign Islamist fighters" or some such, just to be completely clear.
 * "subsequently seized by the authorities." Which authorities?
 * "Over the course of the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Wars, a rump federation consisting of Serbia (including Kosovo) and Montenegro proclaimed itself the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." Perhaps clarify whether this means it was a de-facto Serbian state?
 * Was there no international reaction to the role of mujahideen in the clash?
 * The intro doesn't explain that the Yugoslav Army was apparently a Serbian force. The article body doesn't make this clear either.


 * All done, FunkMonk. Some points:


 * "Once Kosovo's autonomy was abolished" (the article states this was in '89 just a few sentences earlier)
 * "fueling the Kosovar uprising that eventually erupted in the spring of 1998" (unfortunately no article at present, if there were it would probably link to 1998 Kosovo summer offensive)
 * "Was there no international reaction to the role of mujahideen in the clash?" (unfortunately I haven't been able to find any via Google, Newspapers.com, etc. The EU issued a condemnation but didn't explicitly mentioned the Islamists, though US officials were no doubt pleased given they had requested that the KLA limit the influence of foreign mujaheddin in their ranks).

 * Nice, seems all that could be done has been done, so will now pass the article. FunkMonk (talk) 22:27, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
