  • Avoid single-sentence paras, merge that first "para" into the next.
  • Four para lead is too much for such a modest article, I would recommend two.
  • "until sneaking out" bit colloquial.
  • "moved to Aleppo" link.
  • "atabeg" what's that?
  • "Irtash ibn Tutush was born" no need for bold here.
  • "Map of the Seljuk Empire at..." this is a fragment so need for a full stop.
  • "then sneaked out" not particularly encyclopedic in tone.
  • " general view of..." again, caption is a fragment, so no full stop required.
  • "expel them from Palestine" overlinked.
  • "besieged Bosra, though" likewise.
  • "between Jaffa and " and that.
  • "An 1844 painting..." caption is fragment, no full stop.
  • "a very important victory" POV.
  • "Sevim assumes incorrectly that" I would just remove "incorrectly".
  • "463-549" endash.
  • Ref 5, pp. and en-dash.

@The Rambling Man: Everything should be addressed in these edits. However, do you want me to trim the lead down instead of just merging it? It's technically only a two paragraph lead now. –MJLTalk 20:26, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
