The text of the entry was:Did you know ... that theCaliphal-Mu'tadid managed to halt the decline of theAbbasid Caliphate during his reign, but at the cost of a huge bureaucracy and some 80 percent of expenditure going to the army?
Hi Constantine. I am a little puzzled as to what you mean by "abolishing the fiscal department on property inescheat". (I do know what "property inescheat" is, but can't work out what was abolished. Could you enlighten me? Thanks.Gog the Mild (talk)12:42, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Of his four sons, only one, Harun, did not become caliph." Seems an odd way of phrasing it. Maybe 'Of his four sons, three - x, y and z - were to become caliph'?Gog the Mild (talk)13:05, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
HiConstantine. Bar the three queries above I am done. So I shall mark it as finished at GOCE, but leave it on my watchlist for you to respond to the above. As usual, feel free to revert or query anything you don't like or don't understand.Gog the Mild (talk)14:27, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lotGog the Mild, it looks very good. I've done some very minor tweaks, and tried to address the issues above. And now the usual query on my part: how does it read? Is it understandable to the average reader?Constantine ✍16:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It reads very well. Always a trade off between succinctness and lay reader understandability. IMO this article strikes a very reasonable balance.Gog the Mild (talk)17:50, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
