GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:

   The prose is clear and concise, and well written. I've fixed a few very minor grammatical issues. Earwig reports no copyright violations. However, there are contradictory statements in the "Reign" section: "a delegation of Egypt-based emirs ... arrived in al-Karak to inform an-Nasir Ahmad of Qawsun's execution", but later, Ahmad "ordered Qawsun and Altunbugha ... to be executed." -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

I've corrected the mistake per the source (see edit summary). The delegation informed the sultan of Qawsun's ouster. The sultan had him executed after his arrival to Egypt. --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

1. B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Lead, layout, formatting are in compliance. Not related to fiction or lists. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. Has an appropriate reference section:

   Yes. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

   A. Major aspects:

   I can't think of any important aspect that the article does not cover. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

   It is focused and does not contain excessive details. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

   No edit wars. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status:

   The sole image is tagged with a free license. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

   B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   There's only one image, and no portrait of the man, but that's expected for an article about a Muslim ruler. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail: A well written article with some minor issues that need to be fixed. Almost there. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

@Zanhe: Thanks for the review and the improvements. I addressed your point above and corrected the contradictory statement about Qawsun. Let me know if there's any other issues. Cheers --Al Ameer (talk) 03:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
