Hello UnlimatedLead - happy to work with you too. I've changed the caption to what you suggested [1]. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Anything on the US tag? Unlimitedlead (talk) 01:29, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ops, added it now [2]. --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why does the article refer to Qajar Iran both as Iranian and Persian? I would choose one for consistency.
  • "Shortly before the siege, Kotlyarevsky had offered the 4,000 soldiers and their commander Sadeq Khan Qajar...": You should clarify that these soldiers and the commander were occupying Lankaran.
  • "...and thus the Talysh Khanate was once again under Russian protection": The wording (both in the lead and in the body) is strange; I would reword to something similar to "...and the Talysh Khanate once again fell under Russian protection". Although, I do find the use of the word "protection" strange; should it not be "control" or "hegemony"?
  • Whenever a ruler is mentioned in the body, I would add a {{reigned|x|x|}} template.
  • "The khan of the Talysh Khanate, Mir-Mostafa Khan kept shifting his allegiance between Iran and Russia, which both the Iranian monarch Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and his designated heir Abbas Mirza had grown tired of": There are different verb tenses in this sentence, which is weird.

Think I addressed them all here (though not much I can do about the name of the infobox unfortunately) [3]. Not sure if {{reigned|x|x|}} should be added for Mir-Mostafa Khan too? He was more of a governor than a traditional ruler. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks great. I will pass this GA nomination. Unlimitedlead (talk) 00:52, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome. Once again, thanks for the review and I'll see you around! HistoryofIran (talk) 01:02, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
