GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Prose looks good.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Exhaustively referenced.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Covers all aspects of the battle.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Covers both schools of thought on whether the city was pillaged, explains anti-Umayyad sentiment in an neutral fashion.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Good use of maps and images of the terrain, since images of historical figures from this period aren't really available.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I haven't reviewed many of your articles but I see them constantly at GAN so I know how hard you work. I made a couple minor changes to the prose (which you can revert if you disagree with them) and there are two suggested changes below, but nothing to hold up the review. Easy pass as GA. --Cerebellum (talk) 12:08, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Name: Might be worth noting in the first sentence that the literal translation of يوم الحرة is "the day of al-Harra", not the battle of al-Harra.
Prelude: The last sentence here is the first mention of Vaglieri, it should have a link and some indication of who she was. --Cerebellum (talk) 12:08, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cerebellum: Thank you for your review, copyedits and kind words. There will be more nominations to come ;) Al Ameer (talk) 13:30, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
