Interesting article, I had no idea the times were so turbulent and reigns so short. I have a few comments:
- The family first appears in the sources in 927/8
- tax-farmers→ tax farmers, as it is not being used as a compound adjective here
- comma after Mardavij
- suggest "He amassed a huge fortune by deferring the dispatch of tax revenues"
- "and was positioning himself
alsoas an independent warlord" - full stop after "ensconced in Wasit"
- to campaign defend Wasit?
- suggest "On 21 April 941, he was killed by Kurdish brigands during a hunt."
- "from where Abu Abdallah demanded money"
- "at th
eseis news" - "and his son Abu'l-Qasim, Abu Abdallah
al-Baridi" I reckon you can stick to just Abu Abdallah at this point - throughout, shouldn't it be Baridi's rather than Baridis' when using the possessive? given their name is al-Baridi not al-Baridis?
- suggest "burned Abu'l-Husayn's residence" is that is who is meant
- "on the western side cut the bridge"?
- "as
the army ofa resurgent Ibn Ra'iq entered Baghdad with his army" - "where
Caliphal-Muttaqi" as we already know he's the caliph - move the mention that Tuzun was a Turk to first mention
- "Abu Abdallah ha
sd his youngest brother" - suggest "ruled Basra in "exemplary way"
(Bowen)until 947,[insert Bowen citation here]" - OCLC 557740738 for Amedroz and Margoliouth
That's all I could find. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Seeing that Cplakidas hasn't edited in over a month, I got through all the comments you made throughout the article and I think its ready for GA promotion. DepressedPer (talk) 07:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
