Review

This is a well-written article with 95.4% written by a single user (HistoryofIran). The article is stable, broad in coverage and structured with clear paragraphs and subsections.

• Text in the last paragraph is identical to text in Kayumarth I. One is a copy or there is a remarkable coincidence. Please correct.

Sorry, but is that really important? Its written by me anyways. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:52, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

As long as you, the author of the first instance, think it is OK, I am happy to agree. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

• The image of Timur is marked as superseded by a PNG file.

Yes, but that image is more blurry/worse quality. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

OK. Seems a good reason to keep the old one. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

• The map is taken from a 2007 book. Please confirm the copyright status for the image.

Sorry, I don't understand. The basemap is from DEMIS and is public domain. I just edited it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

My misunderstanding. That is OK. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

• Is Amul related to Amol? If so, please link.

It is already linked. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I was unclear. I mean the mention in "Chalabis or Chalavis, after a district in Amul". Is this something different? simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Not sure I understand. You mean the Amul mentioned in that sentence? No, that's the same Amul as the others. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:28, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• "latters family" should be "latter's family". This sentence is complex and could do with rewording to make it easier to read.

Reworded, thoughts? --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• It is unclear who "he" is in "He was well-received by the Baduspanid ruler". Consider rewording.

Done, whatdya think? --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• Is there a reason for the brackets around fatwa? I feel that they are unnecessary and break the flow.

Ops, removed the brackets. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:26, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

• Based on the dates earlier in the article, "murdered Hasan I on 17 April 1349" should be Hasan II.

Fixed. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

• Is there an article on Ghiyath al-Din II? If so, there should be a link. If not, consider red linking.

There's not, and done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• The Yavari reference has no page numbers. I suggest finding the reference in the printed volume if possible as this would be consistent with the other references.

There were no page numbers in the source, just text. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran: Please ping me when you have made the changes. simongraham (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

@Simongraham: --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:29, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Great work, HistoryofIran. Thank you for your work on this article, and your diligence in the history of the region. That is a Good Article. simongraham (talk) 11:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
