Mhhossein I'm sorry that you've had to wait so long for a review. I've read your article and cannot identify any major problems. It must be very frustrating to continually hit the review loggerhead, and I can see you nominated several times. That said in my editing career I've found it very useful to approach problems from the side rather than head on. I would recommend you focus on editing other articles and area for the next 6-12 months. You will find that you learn and develop as an editor, and may without realising it pick up several useful tips that can help you when you resume editing here. In my past experience, focusing on a single article on wikipedia without letting it drop is a recipe for frustration and burnout. Kind regards, --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:06, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tom (LT): Thanks very much for your valuable tips. It's a long time I have not edited this article and I'm doing other jobs such creating new pages and nominating DYK hooks. Anyway, do you think the article is not still ready? Mhhossein (talk) 04:46, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot speak to whether it will pass or not, I have some suggestions but (unfortunately) they're no guarantee of what reviewers will point out during the featured list review. I've tried to look through the last nomination for more ideas:

Consider removing all the footnotes that are just Persian, and not translations. They don't add encyclopedic value to English language readers who for the most part will not be able to read them.
Consider writing 1-2 sentences at the beginning of the "Family tree" section to explain that they are all biologically related. I find the family tree useful but I'm not sure what other users may say.
I am unclear what time period you are speaking about when you write "The eldest surviving grandson of Muhammad," who has by now passed away.
I am still unclear why several other infallible are considered such by the Shia community. Eg: "Al-Jawad was known for his generosity and piety in the face of persecution by the Abbasid caliphate.[49]" was known as... but why does he continue to be revered?
