Derbendcis

 * ... that Ottoman constabulary units Derbendcis were so poorly motivated that Ottomans had to hire mercenaries to ensure their loyalty?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg It's long enough, it's recent enough and I can't see any issues with the content. The hook is interesting, although I'm not totally sold on the wording; you might want to consider something like:
 * ALT1 ... that the Ottomans had to hire mercenaries to ensure the loyalty of their Derbendcis constabulary?" as an alternative. In either form, it meet the criteria for length and is directly cited in the article. QPQ's done, no image - good to go. Nice little article. Yunshui 雲 水 14:16, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I agree with ALT1.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 14:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that the reviewer approved Alt1 when he stated that both original and ALT1 hook "meet the criteria for length and is directly cited in the article." --Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry I wasn't clear. The reviewer proposed ALT1 and then you approved it. If ALT1 is to be used, it needs to be evaluated by another reviewer per Rule H2. Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

I have fixed references. All sources are highly reputable. New enough, long enough. Either hook is fine for me, including ALT1. --George Ho (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
