Divine call, Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin

 * ... that entry into the Druze faith has been prohibited since Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin ended the Divine call in 1043 CE?

 * You need another QPQ I think. Secretlondon (talk) 23:52, 13 September 2012 (UTC)#

 * Symbol question.svg you link to the nomination page not the article in future? It avoids having to manually create the link to check the review. Interesting articles! Is Druze a sect or a faith? You have both in Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin. The hook ref in divine call 404s, but its fine in Al-Muqtana. The latter is also classed as a stub. The stub thing needs fixing, the rest are just comments. They are new enough, long enough, well referenced etc. Secretlondon (talk) 17:33, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing. I've changed it from stub to start class and removed the reference to Druze as a sect, which it isn't. Technically, I guess you have to be a splinter group within a religion to be a sect and Druze is a religion unto itself. I have also revised the lede of Divine call, which was taken from the Makarem source "The Druze Faith", which is a book I do own. I've copied the original Druze source that Makarem has cited in that book along with the source from Al-Muqtana that confirms the hook to back it up. Hopefully this will be all problems solved. Let me know any other concerns. Cheers. Paul Bedson  ❉ talk ❉ 23:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's looking better. End of second para in divine call needs a ref at the end, and the hook ref in divine call is still broken. Secretlondon (talk) 07:05, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Which hook ref seems broken? They all seem to work for me. The Makarem one won't preview though. With regards the end of the 2nd paragraph, I am glad you highlighted that as it wasn't reading quite correct. Al-Hakim may have been convinced of his soteriological divinity but never declared it if he did. That was down to Ad-Darazi and co, so I've changed the sentence to better convey that.

 * Erickson, the last ref in divine call, 404s. Secretlondon (talk) 18:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, gotcha! Thanks again. It's all fixed now and I've improved that last sentence a bit with an extra reference from a Syria guidebook too. Paul Bedson  ❉ talk ❉ 00:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
