I am sure the text is OK. But the sentence His authority however was limited to Bithynia and Cappadocia seems to be fallacious. The word limited gives the impression of a small domain. But it is not. Bithynia is at the extreme north west corner of Anatolia and Cappadocia is the east part of Central Anatolia. The bird's flight distance between the two is over 500 kilometres (310 mi). If Qasim had ruled over this territory, that means that his domains included most of Anatolia. Maybe the name Cappadocia needs to be cleared. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 21:33, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I think it is pretty clear that "limited" in this case does not intended to imply that his domain was small, but that it did not comprise the entirety of the Seljuk-controlled territories of Anatolia. My sources are a bit vague on the exact delineation of his (and his brother's) domain however, so if you can add anything more specific, go ahead :) Constantine ✍ 08:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
