Review section

Tagged for six months for lacking reliable references, failed verification, and unsourced statements. Original nominator has retired. DrKay (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to require the attention of someone with considerable expertise in this area and access to appropriate references. Unless any such individual is forthcoming (which looks unlikely), I think that this is a case for FARC. Midnightblueowl (talk) 13:07, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Al Ameer son? Has edited a lot of articles about Ottoman-era subjects, at least. FunkMonk (talk) 13:58, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the consideration @FunkMonk:, and excuse me for the very late response. I've gotten pretty busy w/ work the past couple weeks. Not sure if I'd be able to tackle this. It would need a pretty dedicated editor to sort things out if there are deep sourcing problems. --Al Ameer (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section

Main concerns are that two texts used to support multiple passages are outdated and were possibly unreliable in the first place, as well as material lacking citations. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Issues above are unresolved. DrKay (talk) 20:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. A number of 'citation neededs' and several of the online sources are either dead links or not RSs. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delist for reasons given. Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:00, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
