  • Comment: The article is long and new enough. However, I prefer to ask you resolve the grammatical issues and do the required technical edits (mostly removing extra spaces and adding them where ever needed), before making any further comments. Let me know when you're finished with it. --Mhhossein talk 14:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
@Mhhossein: thanks for review the DYK. As you nominated to grammatical issues, I asked GorgeCustersSabre help me and he do the copy edit.I think during this time I get oppurtunity to remove other issues. Regards! Saff V. (talk) 11:44, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have systematically copy-edited this article and checked the citations to ensure that they are accurate. I'm now content that this article is strong enough to remain on Wikipedia without any distinct concerns. Best regards,George Custer's Sabre (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. However, I think the article still needs to be checked against accuracy of the materials. For instance, I doubt if "In his letter, Ali asked the people of Egypt to follow the direction of Malik." Check the source once again. --Mhhossein talk 17:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
@Mhhossein: You are right! I campare this two sources (1 and 2) a part of the adventure has been missed!Imam wrote two letter, one for Malic and another for other commander and the sentence that you nominated it is seen in the letter that Imam wrote to another commander, but the exact name of the commander is unknown. All in all I prefer to remove such as challenging sentence.Also I check the article with refrecences and try to solve such as problem. Saff V. (talk) 11:46, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Saff V., it's been a month. Have you solved the issues yet? If so, please say so here, so that Mhhossein knows to review the changes to see if the issues are adequately addressed. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:52, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I tried to solve the problems at that time and I am expecting Mhhossein's opinion.Saff V. (talk) 11:47, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. I checked the article and made some more edits. I think we can proceed with the suggested hook. --Mhhossein talk 16:31, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
