I will review this afternoon/evening. Noah Talk 15:16, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "in charge of the expedition, and leaving him with some Parthian soldiers." Could this be reworded?
 * Eh, somewhat changed it, didn't have the best idea on what to replace it with. What do you think? --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:36, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "Since the death of Mithridates II (r. 124–91 BC) the Parthian Empire had fallen" --> After the death of Mithridates II (r. 124–91 BC), the Parthian Empire fell"
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * " A few years earlier (72 BC)" Comma after this
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * " however, leading him to join Pompey instead" this part needs to be rephrased to agree with the previous portion of the sentence
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:34, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "However, after a brief reign" comma after that
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "was concluded" This would reach better as "was established"
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:28, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "After his death, the tiara does not appear on Parthian coinage for some time" When does it appear again? Some time is pretty vague.
 * I don't recall the source going into that unfortunately. Looking at the coinage of the Parthians in CNG and so on, it seemed to first reappear under Vonones II, though I currently lack a source that states so. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:19, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Could you please try to find this sometime? I won't hold up the GAN for this since it is minor (also due to our current global predicament), but it should be added. Noah Talk 01:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "In c. 57 BC" comma after this
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "Mithridates IV, was at first supported by his younger brother Orodes II.[44] However, this support was short-lived." this needs to be rephrased and both of those sentences could honestly be merged together
 * Changed it a bit, what do you think? --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Replace the semicolon with a colon for a list
 * Done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Could you please vary what sides of the article images are placed on?
 * Done. Wanted to do it with the coin image too but not enough space. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

That should be it. This article is in pretty good shape and should be easy to fix. Noah Talk 22:57, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * There are a few instances in which you use the same citation multiple times in a row. A citation can cover a few sentences without there being issues. All the changes made above look fine. Noah Talk 01:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed some. In many of the cases the same citation is also included with another citation or even more, so I didn't touch those. --HistoryofIran (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
