 * Comment "1886, The Sultan of Zanzibar" – Lowercase the "the", unless it's part of the title? Gary King ( talk ) 00:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Weird, I had taken this article off FLC before your comment (I still had some issues I had to work out). Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 03:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh okay; I suppose I had the window open before you closed it, and then I edited it afterwards. Gary King ( talk ) 07:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * 1832/1840 in lead probably needs explaining in the lead rather than footnoting since it's quite confusing.
 * Done. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, per Matthew, I would imagine it to be the UK.
 * Fixed. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why is each sultan's name in bold?
 * Just a personal preference. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Rule in the table need not be capitalised.
 * Fixed. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Removed. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ref [8] seems incomplete.
 * Fixed. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
