copy editor's comments
Hi, Leonidas was not able to finish this, so I took it over. I've made some copy edits, and added some tags where it needs expansion. Take a look and see what you think. There are some areas that are very unclear, such as the bit about the fiance--was the Jonah's or the bishop's? Sounds like Jonah's (based on what comes later), but what does the bishop have to do with anything, then? You also need to explain the practice of killing the inhabitants of a city that resists (I added a sentence but it isn't cited, and it needs elaboration). And the Muslim rationale of allowing Christians and Jews to remain without conversion...and the tax. Drop a note on my talk page when you want me to take another look. As I understand it, you want to go to Military History ACR  Auntieruth55 (talk) 20:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
