This seems like the War losing part, pre-persia, is too long.. but, I don't know how to shorten it, so, help would be appreciated. --Irishpunktom\^talk 23:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

There are two important sources for Humayun's reign which I haven't read: Khwandamir's Qanun-e Humayun and Biyazid Biyat's Tadhkira-e Humayun wa Akbar which I think you've cited. I need to have a look at these before I make any more changes. Great job so far! Sikandarji 16:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Good Article Nominee

I saw this article listed at WP:GAN, & have a couple of comments regarding its nomination. First, is someone in the middle of adding endnotes to this article? The notes end about half way thru the article, & none of them reference any of the works under "References". Second, I found the introductory paragraph not exactly clear: am I the only one who thinks this? If these two items were addressed -- & I don't see any reason someone can't fix them within a day or two -- then I feel this would qualify as a GA. -- llywrch 22:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm impressed with this extensive article. However, I feel that the references need to be fixed up before I'm willing to give my stamp of approval. There are some areas where the references are abundant (and that's awesome!), but they are very absent in others (such as "Personal Traits"). Maybe a good goal is one reference per section. Also, it would be better to use the < ref > tag (without the spaces in it) instead of using notes and references. It's much easier and there aren't any numbering issues (like citation 4 coming after citation 7). This article has been on the Good Article Nominee list for quite some time and frankly, if this isn't addressed in a few days, I think it deserves to be taken off the list. So, fix the references in a timely manner and this article will get my stamp of approval for Good Article. Thunderforge 01:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Also, if the article will go up for Featured Article status, some of this needs to be rewritten to less from a storytelling angle and more from an encyclopedic informative angle, in my opinion. That said, I think it is already a Good Article. —Rob (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The armies of the Mughal Emperor Humayun fighting those of Bahadur Shah of Gujarat in the year 1535, as depicted in an Akbarnama manuscript from the late 16th century. Bahadur, the Sultan of Gujarat, had allied with the Portuguese and planned an attack on the Mughals. To preempt such an attack, Humayun struck at Gujarat and conquered Mandu and Champaner before stopping his attack. Bahadur Shah was killed by the Portuguese two years later; Humayun was overthrown by Sher Shah Suri in 1540, retaking the throne fifteen years later.Illustration: Dharmdas, Manre Royale d’Aubusson

Humayun and his religion

Per the article, "The Shah urged that Humayun convert from Sunni to Shia Islam, and Humayun eventually and reluctantly accepted, in order to keep himself and several hundred followers alive. ~~ John Richards, The Mughal Empire, page 11. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:18, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

That is actually interesting, also Akbar made a pilgrimage towards Mashhad in Safavid Empire in 1595 C.E. The Shrine of Imam Riza is located there. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 19:15, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Humayun's Poetry

According Abu Fazl, the author of Akbarnama, Humayun was a prolific poet. It seems that he composed both in Turkish and Persian, but mostly in Turkish. Here is an excerpt from Akbarnama:

"And in acquired accomplishments, he was at the head of his Age. He held high rank as a poet and a prose-writer, and especially in Turki poetry. The Turkish diwan (diwān-i-turkī) of his Majesty is of great eloquence and purity, and its contents are charming. His book of Masnawī which has the name of Mubin is a famous composition and is mentioned with great applause by critics."

The quote is from page 282, Chapter 19 of Akbarnama. Translated by Beveridge in 1897. I am not entirely sure about the artistic merits of Humayun's poetry, but I think that this information could be a nice addition to the article.
