Lead[edit]
Are you sure Sabuktigin used the title of "Amir"? It's currently unsourced, and even his Iranica article doesn't mention it. I find it a bit odd that he would have used the same title as his Samanid suzerains. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Added the source for Amir. Amir Ghandi (talk) 11:29, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just read some of The Ghaznavids: Their Empire in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran, seems like "amir" was a common title even amongst the Samanids and local rulers/governors. The info about Sabuktigin being amir does not appear in the body of the article, which it should, so the citation in the lede also can get removed. This info, written by Bosworth, will fit well in the article [1] HistoryofIran (talk) 01:06, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Added the information, any thoughts?

Infobox[edit]
- Since Sabuktigins sons are mentioned, so should Hurra-yi Kalji in the Death and succession section, instead of in a note. --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done
- Abu al-Muzaffar Nasr's name is spelled in two different ways in the infobox and body of the article, which one is the right one? --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed
Sources[edit]
Looks good. I'm surprised you didn't use The Ghaznavids: Their Empire in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran, 994-1040 by Bosworth, it has a lot of info, and written late in his career when he was practically the face of Medieval Islamic history. I've uploaded it here if you're interested [2] (Ctrl + F "ktigin" if you want every mention of him to appear). --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. I replaced most of the references to his thesis with the book. Amir Ghandi (talk) Amir Ghandi (talk) 11:53, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought the work was created much later than 1963. Anyways, good to see that preferred over a thesis. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:34, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
