Review section[edit]

Tagged for six months for lacking reliable references, failed verification, and unsourced statements. Original nominator has retired. DrKay (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to require the attention of someone with considerable expertise in this area and access to appropriate references. Unless any such individual is forthcoming (which looks unlikely), I think that this is a case for FARC. Midnightblueowl (talk) 13:07, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Al Ameer son? Has edited a lot of articles about Ottoman-era subjects, at least. FunkMonk (talk) 13:58, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the consideration @FunkMonk:, and excuse me for the very late response. I've gotten pretty busy w/ work the past couple weeks. Not sure if I'd be able to tackle this. It would need a pretty dedicated editor to sort things out if there are deep sourcing problems. --Al Ameer (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

Main concerns are that two texts used to support multiple passages are outdated and were possibly unreliable in the first place, as well as material lacking citations. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Issues above are unresolved. DrKay (talk) 20:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. A number of 'citation neededs' and several of the online sources are either dead links or not RSs. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delist for reasons given. Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:00, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
