User talk:Al Ameer son

I have a question to the administration regarding Al-Andalus; since according to Arabic language books, the Umayyad architecture played a big role influencing the Islamic architecture of Iberia, but according to the official Wikipedia page (Moorish architecture), I hardly find the Umayyad architecture mentioned at all, instead the first influence mentioned here is the Berber culture (even though the Muslim Iberians fleeing the Spanish Inquisition in masses to North Africa were the ones who actually influenced the North with their Andalusian elements according to Arabic books). So was it the Arabic culture that first blended with the Native Iberian elements, or is the article correct that the Berber culture was apparent there and the Arabic culture had lesser influence to the local Iberian elements?. Thank you.

Hi Al Ameer son! I'd like to ask for your help with an edit war at Talk:Ali#problematic_edits. Thanks! Albertatiran (talk) 08:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article Kisrawan campaigns (1292–1305) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Kisrawan campaigns (1292–1305) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Congratulations, Al Ameer son! The article you nominated, Mu'awiya I, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Gog the Mild (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Might this be of any use? It can easily be corrected/amended... Best wishes, Amitchell125 (talk) 09:47, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Amitchell125: You're a saint my friend. It's excellent, thank you for this very helpful gift. I made a few minor fixes and will add it to the article shortly. One favor though, would you be able to fix something for me on the chart: could we make "Bashir I" the product of the marriage between his father Husayn and the daughter of Mulhim, Fa'iza? I incorrectly made it appear that he was solely Husayn's son and that Husayn's marriage to Fa'iza is incidental. Thanks again! --Al Ameer (talk) 16:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the Mu'awiya I article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 12, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 12, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

Thank you today for the article about "the founder and first caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate. Though his family led the opposition to the Islamic prophet Muhammad, he became the Prophet's scribe after the conquest of Mecca. He was sent as a commander in the Syrian conquest two years later and gradually governed that conquered region, where he secured a strong power base among its Arab tribes and mostly Christian bureaucracy. He defeated the 4th caliph, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law Ali in the first Muslim civil war, bringing the caliphate under his rule. Considered controversial in Muslim tradition for seizing power, being less religiously devoted than his predecessors and establishing dynastic rule, unprecedented in Muslim politics, he is also admired for his competence, leadership skills and mild rule."!

The fact was ... that the punitive Mamluk campaigns against the non-Sunni Muslim mountaineers of the Kisrawan from 1292 to 1305 helped pave the way for the region's Maronite Christian majority?

Hi Al Ameer son, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 10:59, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer Son, I hope all is well with you! LouisAragon recommend I reach out to you, though I have been familiar with your admirable work for some time. A few months ago I rewrote the article on Barbad as a part of my project in improving important but overlooked non-Western musical figures. I nominated it for GAN, but it has been sitting in the queue for about two months now. I wondered if you might consider reviewing the article? I presume that music is not your primary interest on Wikipedia, but I had a lot of trouble dealing with some contradictions and lack of uniformity in various sources, so I would think someone familiar with the region could help out the most. No worries if you're too busy or uninterested! Best – Aza24 (talk) 22:02, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ameer son, I have the page now since quite some while on my watchlist and you need to revert the articles edits maybe once or twice a week? I have thought on requesting a better page protection, but I guess you are more experienced, so I ask you first what you suggest what to do.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:58, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle: Please excuse the very late response! The disruptive edits are not yet on a scale where I think protection is warranted. Will continue to keep a watch on it. If the frequency increases, then I could see it receiving protection from edits by brand new or unregistered users. Al Ameer (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The last two weeks were a bit calm, until today at least. Your tolerance is admirable. I'll be attentive as well to let you focus on getting more articles to GA or FA.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:22, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Glad to hear. Always welcome. Btw, just wondering. I recently added some information about the long-standing and rather well-known campaign of revisionism/negationism by the government of the Azerbaijan Republic.[2] Would you be willing to copy-edit this section I just added? I know it might sound like a rather off-beat request, but I would like an experienced editor who's not too heavily involved in this topic area to give it a look. Would appreciate it. If you're uncomfortable with making copy-edits, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I will try to find someone else. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:51, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer, sorry to bother me I want to ask about the article Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi. Zufar's father in the article is named al-Harith ibn Yazid al-Amiri why not al-Harith ibn Yazid al-Kilabi like his son's name? sorry I'm confused about this. Thank youIylaq (talk) 02:33, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iylaq. The source, in this case Tabari, uses Amiri for the father and Kilabi for Zufar. His father was not mentioned anywhere else (in the early sources) as far as I know. The Banu Amir, of course, includes the Banu Kilab so there is no contradiction. I would keep it the way the sources have it. Al Ameer (talk) 04:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you Iylaq (talk) 14:25, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

in the book of al tabaqat al kubra by Ibn Sa'd (this is the link= https://shamela.ws/book/1689/589), it is explained that Busr ibn Abi Artat's mother was named Zaynab bint al-Abras ibn al-Hulays who is a descendant of Amir ibn Lu' ayy. is this not mentioned by modern historians? Iylaq (talk) 02:34, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have not seen it mentioned in modern sources. But this is not controversial. You could add that his mother was "Zaynab ..., who also belonged to the Amir ibn Lu'ayy", attributing and/or citing Ibn Sa’d as a source. —Al Ameer (talk) 04:22, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Fakhr al-Din II, "about Fakhr al-Din II, one of a long line of Druze chiefs from the Ma'n dynasty who far exceeded his ancestors in ambition and achievement. He became the governor and tax farmer of Mount Lebanon, Galilee and their ports and eventually much of the western Levant in the early 17th century. In the complex politics of his time, he was both an efficient tax collector and enforcer for the Ottoman Empire and an unprecedentedly autonomous and enterprising rural chief. Eventually his power became too much for the Empire to bear and he was crushed. Fakhr al-Din reinvigorated the ports of Sidon, Beirut and Acre by opening them to European commerce after a centuries-long hiatus and inaugurated the lucrative Lebanese silk industry. His most lasting legacy was the symbiotic union of the Druze and Maronites under his watch, which led to the precursor entities of the modern Lebanese state."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:35, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you always working against me? Is their any issue. I stoped changing names! - (Most of them are however misspelled) Instead of supporting me, you are working against me. Do you think I have always time to change any article. Please bring all the christian villages you changed back because I was collecting all under one category. Eastern Orthodox Christians doesn't represent all Christians. Their are also other christians living in this villages. You are the only one I have problems here with. Nobody is judging my work.

@Syrian91: Not working against you personally. In any case, I was attempting to discuss at your talk page but did not hear a response. On the names, I was not necessarily opposed to your changes there either except when it contradicted the clear common name, but such widescale changes of name spellings should be discussed first. On the demographics of these villages, you need to provide credible sources which say that there are significant numbers of Christians besides the Greek Orthodox which live in a particular village. We cannot rely on your personal knowledge (even if it is accurate) or Facebook/Youtube/other social media. You need to provide citations to reliable sources (ex. news articles, journals, books, credible websites, etc.) It is redundant to add the 'Christian communities' category, as that category is already covered under 'Eastern Orthodox Christian communities'. Lastly, trying to drive your point by reinstating these changes will be easily undone and simply lead to being blocked from editing. You are new and you seem to be very interested in trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of this topic area. That is great because we need more interested editors. It would be best for you to familiarize yourself with the policies and guidelines of the site, and not to assume that editors are being being hostile to you when they are only seeking to adhere (and help you adhere) to those policies/guidelines.

An article you recently created, Mazraat el-Chouf, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

This article is about a village in Lebanon, which is notable enough. It is a stub, but fully cited to RS. Does not need to be a draft in order to be expanded unless there is a new policy I am unaware of. Al Ameer (talk) 04:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither citation verifies that. Ref 1 appears to be a bad link (not sure what is happening there, since the wayback machine has it), and Ref 2 does not have a reference to this locale either. It does mention a Mazraat Ech-Chouf. Was unclear whether you were attempting to make a stub for this, and this was a typo (which is my guess, since it is spelled that way in your Ref 1). Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:35, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ech-Chouf and el-Chouf are the same. Location 136/198 in the Levant Zone Grid. Appears on maps from the 1830s to now. This book has some WWII history. This history book has something about 1840-1861.

Hi there,

Might you be able to create a page on a new and emerging national sport adopted by the Republic of Pakistan? Its grandmaster founder is an arrogant Sir Atif Hussain, who is currently in a sectioned ward. His nationality is British Pakistani, and he knows a handful of martial arts. He’s teaching there and thought what I’d ask of you is an article of his mediations. He calls it “Gladitorial Boxing” or “Pakistani Boxing.” (GPB) Gladiator because his claims of archaeology revealed something similar. I cannot confirm his findings, but if you start the stub and his sport takes off, it could grace Pakistan’s name. Huss4in (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer,

The FAC ain't going well as there are no reviews so far (Constantine's being inactive) and Gog said that it will be archived within a week if it doesn't get any reviews. I've asked Funk and am gonna ask a couple others too. Would you have time to do the favor? Thanks. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 16:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer, Same issue as above, the FAC for Levantine Arabic may be archived soon if it doesn't get reviews. As you contributed to many articles related to the Levant, your review would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide. A455bcd9 (talk) 10:06, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@A455bcd9: Excuse the late response. I probably can’t review it in this narrow window, due to stretched time between commitments here and in IRL—and more importantly, my limited knowledge of the subject, despite being a (poor) Levantine Arabic speaker myself. Nonetheless, I’m very interested in the subject and you have done great work. I will try to read through it in detail a couple times when I have the chance, and if it is still in the queue by then, I will leave my comments. If not, and for some reason it did not pass, you could count on me next time. Al Ameer (talk) 22:10, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks a lot for your swift reply. No worries at all if you don't have time. If you can just read it and make a few comments would be awesome. Cheers, A455bcd9 (talk) 09:16, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer son! Thanks for the additions and edits to Maslama's article! Do you intend to nominate it for A-class/FA? Constantine ✍ 16:52, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cplakidas: Yes, I was actually hoping to do a co-nom with you for FA status. You have already done the heavy lifting and it is very well-written. Just need to make sure it is comprehensive enough. Thoughts? Al Ameer (talk) 03:47, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's good to hear, and of course I'd love to bring this to FA. I honestly could not find much else than what I had already put in the article, apart from going into more detail on the various battles and campaigns, which I didn't really want to do for WP:SS reasons. If you think this is done, let's do this. I would recommend a MILHIST ACR run first though, as it helps iron out many troublespots. Constantine ✍ 18:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cplakidas: There's one area the article needs to cover better, and that's Maslama's significant agricultural projects in the Qinnasrin/Balis area and southern Iraq. I touched on it in the article, but there's enough there for a separate section. Hugh Kennedy's "Elite Incomes in the Early Islamic State" in ed. Donner and Conrad The Articulation of Early Islamic State Structures will be the main source for this, and there is plenty of supplementary material. I'll have it done by tomorrow. We could then revisit the Lead and button things up. At that point, would you mind submitting the nomination for MILHIST ACR, since you have plenty of experience there? I will of course be paying close attention and would be available to address any of the, mostly non-military, issues/questions that may arise. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting topic to add, thanks! As to the rest, sounds like a plan :) Constantine ✍ 18:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, should we not mention Maslama's descendants also as Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi's descendants in the latter's article? Constantine ✍ 06:36, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cplakidas: Problem is we do not know which of Maslama's descendants, if any, came from his marriage to Zufar's daughter. The mothers of Maslama's children are not identified in the sources I’ve come across. All we could say is that close ties were forged between the two families, which lasted through the remainder of the Umayyad period (Zufar's clan may have been wiped out in battle by the Abbasids during Abu al-Ward's revolt in 750) Al Ameer (talk) 06:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me why you changed the link from "Egypt eyelet" to ottoman empire ? איתן קרסנטי (talk) 05:23, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@איתן קרסנטי: Yes. 1) Egypt Eyalet was not a state or an autonomous entity of some kind, but a direct province of the Ottoman Empire (not until the 18th century, and really the 19th century under Muhammad Ali and his family, did Egypt become autonomous and then independent of the Empire)

2) It ignores the other major territorial component of the Mamluk empire, the Levant.

The Ottoman Empire literally succeeded the Mamluk Sultanate in all of its domains, first the Levant in 1517 and then Egypt by 1519. —Al Ameer (talk) 05:40, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Re your edit summary "but restoring the previous ref layout as I do not see how the revised layout, which is not consistent with other FA's in this subject area, is an improvement" [3], there are several points that can be made.

1. As you are the main editor of this page, I will of course defer to your preference.
2. My aim is to get editors to think about the best layout. There are two aspects of layout:
   1. The layout as it appears to readers of the article.
   2. The layout as it appears, in edit mode, to editors while editing the wikitext.
3. Regarding 2.1, on most aspects I am fairly relaxed. The only point I think is categorically wrong is not using columns for the biblio listing. Long lines, especially on a wide screen, are very difficult, if not impossible, to read. There is a reason that most dictionaries, bibles, etc., and all newspapers are printed in columns! There is an optimum length for easy reading, and the {{refbegin}} template (with {{refend}}) helps you acheive that. Screen widths vary enormously between different devices, and the refbegin template automatically adjusts the columns to suit the width of the reader's screen.
4. Again on 2.1, you might have noticed that I used the "indent" option, which helps to distinguish the author(s). This is an option I don't usually use, but I think is mostly a matter of idividual taste. I thought, what the hell, let's use it for a change, see what people think. I would just add that if any of the "author"s are corporate bodies (such as a government department) instead of individual human beings, then I would recommend against using the indent option.
5. The second aspect (2.2) is a very different case. You can find a long list of reasons why the so-called "horizontal" format for cite templates (it isn't really horizontal at all) is so bad on my talk page here. The list may be long, but it is still far from complete. That is why, for the last six years or so, I have been developing a standard for setting out citation templates, and a script to implement it. I call both the standard and the script the boring name "ETVP", for "easy to visually parse". In other words, it has been explicitly designed to be as easy to read, and as easy to edit, as possible. Over the past six years it has had many thousands of small improvements made to it, so that, in my view, it is now close to an optimal solution. To take just one example, suppose you're in edit mode, and want to find the cite by a given author. That's quite hard to do in the usual LHT-clutter format, but in the ETVP format, you can spot it instantly. Many other examples in the list I linked to above.

I hope you can see why I am so astonished at your edit summary. --NSH001 (talk) 23:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Al Ameer, if you have time please could you share your thoughts at the Al Aqsa mosque move discussion? I am conscious you are the article's primary contributor, have brought it to GA status twice, and your 2008 and 2011 GA versions seem to have taken a hybrid approach to the question of scope. Whether you agree or disagree with the current proposals, your views at the discussion would be incredibly valuable. Onceinawhile (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oncenawhile: I kept up with the discussion early on, until it started getting into the weeds. As long as the article remains, or continues to contain, 'al-Aqsa Mosque' as opposed to the less common 'Qibli Mosque' that had been proposed in the past, I have no strong opinion either way. However, I will review the discussion again, and more sources, later today or tomorrow and offer my thoughts.

For the record, though I nominated it for GA twice, I do not believe that it meets the GA standards today, with failure to address the confusion of the mosque/compound being one of several reasons it should be reassessed/demoted. --Al Ameer (talk) 16:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hello, Al Ameer son! i had a quick question regarding this article and the associated blurb. as "Sayf" does not appear to be preceded by a definite article in "Sayf Allah", would it be more appropriate to use the gloss "Sword of God" instead of "the Sword of God"? i noticed that the featured article also includes a definite article in the gloss "the Bedouin emigrants", but omits it in others such as "alms tax", so was unsure of when the definite article was being included in the glosses. dying (talk) 04:57, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July songs

Thank you today for the article "about Khalid ibn al-Walid, a military leader who led the conquests which brought central Arabia and Byzantine Syria under Muslim rule. Though he dealt the early Muslims under the prophet Muhammad their first battlefield defeat, he embraced Islam soon after and devoted his military talents to the budding Muslim state. His tactics and strategy, including his famous 'desert march', have become enshrined in legend. The Muslim tradition levels serious charges of moral impropriety against Khalid, while crediting him more than any other commander for the success of the 7th-century conquests." - I have a FAC open, in case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:39, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Al Ameer son: hello can you help the article Battle of Jamal. the article, i.e. the reference is in stark contrast to Islamic sources. an example is in the article it is mentioned that Al Ahnaf ibn Qays is called the killer of Zubayr ibn al Awwam. even though the correct name of the murder was Amr ibn Jarmouz. Then Madelung considered the fictional story of Ali condemning the killer of Zubayr, while the story was mentioned in the books of Islamic scholars. Madelung also considers the fictional story of the negotiation agreement between Ali and Aisha. can you improve this article? I think there are users who are inciting to give false stories.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "This article is about Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi, a 7th-century Bedouin chief. He backed the Umayyad Caliphate's main challenger, Ibn al-Zubayr, when the Umayyads were on the brink of collapse. His Qaysi warriors were annihilated by their tribal enemies, the Kalb, who supported the Umayyads. Zufar led the Qaysi survivors in rebellion, and on a years-long vendetta against the Kalb and their Yaman confederates. He surrendered, mainly on his terms, securing for himself and the Qays a major stake in the Umayyad state. The vendetta, meanwhile, played out for decades as a bloody competition for power, which eventually tore apart the Umayyad state from within."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:56, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Al Ameer son,

I must confess I don't understand you edit here. Said was her maiden name, and as many married women she used both her maiden name and married name as surnames. As such, wasn't it more correct previously? Also, a "Rosemarie Zahlan" wasn't born in Cairo in 1937, but a "Rosemarie Said" was, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:27, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Huldra: Bit of a messy edit, I admit. Initially thought Said was her middle name (or the name of her father) and thought it strange to use 'Said', which is a masculine name, instead of her given name. Still think we ought to keep 'Rosemarie' to avoid confusion between the maiden (Said) and marital (Zahlan) names, but no qualms if you think it best to restore the previous version. Al Ameer (talk) 21:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with that. And she comes from a pretty famous family, mostly thanks to her brother. Another sister, Jean Said Makdisi, has also kept her maiden name, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sieges of Tiberias (1742–1743). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sieges of Tiberias (1742–1743)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello. I created a new category for the Mamluk Sultanate, Category:Prisoners and detainees of the Mamluk Sultanate. Since you're very familiar with Mamluk history, I thought you'd be the best one to ask for help with populating the new category. Al-Andalusi (talk) 20:47, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in this edit to Banu Kalb you introduced references to "Bianquis 1986" and "Bianquis 1997", however you did not define them. This means that nobody reading the article can look them up, and also adds the page to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you could fix these errors that would be great.

The article Shibl al-Dawla Nasr you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Shibl al-Dawla Nasr and Talk:Shibl al-Dawla Nasr/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.
