 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks good, article was 5x expanded. I do not have access to the source book, but I will assume good faith.  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 17:33, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You need to do a full review of the nomination with regard to all the DYK criteria. For example, the hook cannot be promoted while there are "clarification needed" tags in the article. What specific sentences with inline citations back up the hook? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:35, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I did a full review. Let me guide you further.  Per WP:DYKRULES an article must be new, long enough, have the hook cited, and be within policy (particularly meeting Verifiability, Living Person Biographies, Copyright, and NPOV).  I think you are trying to say that this article is not "within policy."  The "clarification needed" tags refer to vague statements in the text, not anything that is outside of policy.  For example, "In 1252, Ferdinand III died and was succeeded by Alfonso X, who was more interested other enterprises" has a clarification needed tag because it is not clear from the writing what Alfonso X is interested in.  It's not a citation needed tag, and DYK articles are not meant to be of even good article quality. Now as for what inline citations are there supporting the hook?  If you read the article it says clearly that "Ibn al-Ahmar turned against Ibn Hud again in 1236. He helped Ferdinand III of Castile take Córdoba and end centuries of Muslim rule in the city. In the following years, Ibn al-Ahmar took control of important cities in the south: in 1237 he took Granada, Almería in 1238 and Malaga in 1239. He did not take these cities by force, but through political maneuvering and the consent of the inhabitants.[10][9]"  There is another paragraph describing the taking of Seville, with inline citations at the end of the paragraph.  Let me know if this clears things up for you.  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 06:04, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your full reply. You are probably right about the "clarification needed" tags. Your original review was insufficient because it did not specify which of the DYK criteria you had checked. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
