I'll give the article a read through now and post points below as I come across them. Miyagawa talk 12:30, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Links in the infobox aren't working properly. Rather than linking to Byzantine Crete, the links are going to [[File:Simple Labarum.svg]]. I'm no expert with the former countries infobox, but I think if you look at Byzantium under the Komnenos dynasty (where the same images work), I'm sure you'll be able to work it out.

- History: Levant needs a wikilink.
Done
- Conquest of crete: Drop the "however" in the first line. Flows better without it.
Done
- Needs some sort of explanation of who W. Treadgold is in the paragraph, even if it's just "Historian W. Treadgold..."
Done
- "According to Byzantine historians, the Andalusians were already familiar with Crete, having already raided it in the past." - perhaps "having previously raided it's shores." or something similar - the already just seems out of place.
Done
*"this is probably later invention" - needs an "a" between probably and later. Just re-read this line, and it's fine. Miyagawa talk 14:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- "some think that it was at the north coast" - "some historians...." otherwise inevitably someone is going to come along and stick one of those [who?] tags in there.

Other than those points in the first portion of the article, it all looks good. Nice concise article that you might want to look at working up to FA in the future. Miyagawa talk 13:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for undertaking the review, and for the comments. Take your time and be as thorough as you can! I definitely intend to take this to FA eventually, once I gather some more sources to flesh it out. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 15:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
