• The battles of Madhar and Harura (Yawm Madhār and Yawm Ḥarūrāʾ) Maybe add Arab here as languange?
• the Syria-centered Umayyad Caliphate emanated from the Mecca-based caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr I do not think we should link Mecca because of common term.
• The Basrans' right wing attacked and defeated the Kufans' left wing. Shortly afterwards British afterwards.
• would have been fought in the middle of 686.[18][14] Re-order the refs here.
• According to the Orientalist Henri Lammens, Mus'ab "executed --> "According to the orientalist Henri Lammens, Mus'ab "executed"
• In the note Madhar was situated 48 kilometers (30 mi) north of modern day al-Qurnah --> "Madhar was situated 48 kilometers (30 mi) north of modern-day al-Qurnah"

• @CPA-5: Done. I made the revisions a couple days ago, but forgot to ping you. The only thing is I kept the Mecca link as it's pertinent to the article (being the seat of the caliph Ibn al-Zubayr) and maybe not all readers are familiar with the city). Also, I'll work on an Arabic script for the titles; just indicated for now that the names Yawm Madhar and Yawm Harura are the Arabic transliterations. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Sources I'll do this one tomorrow. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 17:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

• Some ISBNs use hyphens others don't maybe standardise them.

• My preference is isbns with hyphens, but I could not not find the hyphenated versions for Dixon (1971) and Wellhausen (1975). Could you help with these two? Al Ameer (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

• "The Umayyad Caliphate, 65-86/684-705 (a Political Study)" --> "The Umayyad Caliphate, 65–86/684–705 (a Political Study)"

• Fixed dashes here. Al Ameer (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

• Can you standardise the 10/13 ISBN styles?

• Again here my preference is for the 10-digit form, but I could not find it for Donner (2010).

• Lammens and Hawting have the same ISBN?

• Yes, both of these sources are entries in the same Encyclopedia of Islam volume. Al Ameer (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

• Streck says it was published in 1990 but Google Books claims 1954?

• This may be a Google Books error. The publisher, Brill, lists its publication in 1991. See here.

• Vaglieri has no ISBN?

• Added isbn now.

That's anything Al Ameer son. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 13:18, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

• @Al Ameer son: Can you address my comments before I can promote it? Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 20:20, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

• @CPA-5: Excuse the delay. I've been busy elsewhere here and IRL, but I also had some trouble with the ISBNs (see responses above). I've now fixed most of the referencing issues. --Al Ameer (talk) 16:05, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

• I found and changed them for you; now we can pass it. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 14:11, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
