  • Recent GA confirmed, so AGF on stuff like copyvio spotcheck, lenght etc. are ok of course. Hooks are neutral and mildly interesting. I do note that the article doesn't use the wording Qays–Yaman rivalry anywhere, although the article is linked from the body, which uses a synonym feud. Not a major issue I think. PS. Note I've copyedited the main hook by capitalizing Christian and Muslim. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:20, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
