Even though "Militärlehenssystem" is literally translated as "military feudal system", I think a more accurate rendering in English would be "Ottoman military and provincial government". This could be wikilinked to State organisation of the Ottoman Empire. Similarly, I would recommend that "converted to Islam" is wikilinked to Religious conversion or Spread of Islam. The "Balkans" subsection of the latter wikilink covers this topic in some depth. Rupert Clayton (talk) 01:52, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
