I will begin this review shortly.--Catlemur (talk) 20:06, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
You mention that the Qarmatians were Shia and that other Shia sympathizers flocked to Bahrayn. I think you need to also mention that the Abbasids were Sunni to better contextualize the conflict between the two.
Done, but caveat: in 900, calling the Abbasids 'Sunni' is not entirely correct. As the article mentions, there were several Shi'a sympathizers in high posts in the Abbasid government, and even some caliphs toyed with Shi'a sympathies. Sunnism did not really coalesce until the Sunni Revival in the 11th century.
Hi Catlemur, I've dealt with most of the issues above. Please have a look. Apart from the one unclear point above, is there anything else? Constantine ✍ 18:57, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Cplakidas: I moved to a new place and got screwed over by the telecom company, got internet yesterday. I will finish the review in the coming days.--Catlemur (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Catlemur: Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Please don't stress yourself on my account, I just wanted to know if you're still on it. Best of luck with everything! Constantine ✍ 15:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
There is an inconsistent Engvar is the article, I assume you are going for British English. That means that the following alterations must be made:
@Catlemur: I am indeed going for British English, but contrary to common belief, '-ize' is perfectly acceptable in British English. On the link to desert warfare, as the article mostly concerns modern warfare, I don't think it is appropriate (and it is a poor article at that). Cheers, Constantine ✍ 21:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
