Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status and should have my full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   • Background, "Nikephoros assembled his army and marched out himself to meet a second, larger invasion under the Caliph himself." Is there any way to avoid the repetition of "himself"?
   • The campaign, "(gazi, hajj)" What is this supposed to mean?

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Sources all look good, no indication of OR or copyvio.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Other than a couple of minor prose issues (detailed above), I can find nothing of issue in this article. Because of that, I am passed it to GA as is; I hope that the issues I list above will be rectified, but in my opinion they do not reflect on the article's readability to the point of preventing it from being listed as a GA.
