Byzantine-Ottoman wars
I believe it is well sourced, well-written, with no edit warring. It is an article describing one of the most decisive events in history and its content is broad enough, in my opinion, to begin upgrading its status. I believe that it has the potential, perhaps with a few more edits, of becoming an FA. Tourskin 19:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

''After these defeats, Andronicus was in no position to send many troops. In 1320, Andronicus II's grandson, Andronicus III was disinherited following the death of Andronicus II's son.[22] In 1321, Andronicus III retaliated by marching on Constantinople; he was given Thrace as an appanage. However, Andronicus III continued to press for his inheritance and in 1322 was made co-emperor. This culminated into a small scale Balkan war in which Serbia backed Andronicus II and the Bulgarians backed his grandson, Andronicus III. Eventually Andronicus III emerged triumphant on May 23 1328. As Andronicus III consolidated his hold on Byzantium, the Ottomans succeeded in taking Brusa from the Byzantines in 1326.[23] thus beginning what would turn out to be a series of successful sieges'' The last sentence isn't a sentence, punctuation needs sorted. The dates need to be formatted using the guidelines at WP:DATE particularly under Autoformatting and linking. This paragraph seems like a list at the moment and it is just an example. I think it needs a thorough copyedit before it becomes an A-Class article. Woodym555 22:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose writing style is unencyclopedic and there are grammatical errors. Wandalstouring 14:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose I agree with Wandalstouring. There are several grammatical errors in the article and it does not flow like an encyclopedia article should. I quote:
