Reviewing now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 15:28, 9 January 2022 (UTC)


 * As a result, started attacking the outskirts of Ray. – something missing here.
 * Mahmud had been keen expand his power – "to expand"?
 * "Daylamite" not linked, could also be explained/introduced?
 * Linked it. I'm not sure where to explain in the middle of a text. Respectfully I don't think too much should be explained either, as we have the links for that. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:50, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * She is notable for securing the governorship of Isfahan to her first cousin Ala al-Dawla Muhammad – But there is only a single sentence about this in the main text. When this is the most notable thing about this princess, shouldn't there be more? At least, I would expect that Muhammad is introduced, how he is related to her, etc.
 * Unfortunately not. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:50, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The background section could be much more helpful with general information on the Bavand and Buyid empires, as done in Majd al-Dawla.
 * Also, some information about princess rulers in the Buyid empire (and/or similar empires) would be helpful. I guess a princess ruler is rather the exception (?), but was Sayyida Shirin the only one?
 * Knowledge about women in this period of Iranian history appears to be very scant unfortunately, so that's about the best I could find. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:50, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm furthermore concerned that the main text contains relatively little information on Sayyida Shirin. It is mostly the same text used in the Majd al-Dawla article. Is this article exhaustive, i.e. does it contain all information available?
 * From what I remember, yes unfortunately. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:51, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * If there is so little information, I also wonder about the historical sources. Is there a single important source from which we know abut this topic? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 15:43, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think Sayyida mostly appears in the work of Ibn al-Athir, where she is often mentioned in relation with her sons, particularly Majd al-Dawla. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Short article, but it seems to cover everything we know about this topic. Well done, promoting now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 18:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
