Thank you today forAl-Musta'li, "about the ninth Fatimid caliph, whose rise to the throne in 1094 was due to the machinations of the powerful vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah, and caused a major rift in the Isma'ili branch of Shi'a Islam. Al-Musta'li remained under the thumb of his vizier for the duration of his relatively short caliphate, and his reign is mostly a record of al-Afdal's actions. The article is a pendant to Nizar ibn al-Mustansir, al-Musta'li's elder brother, who was likely the legitimate successor." --Gerda Arendt (talk)06:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input on the articleGreek constitutional crisis of 1985 and the assessment. I was wondering your thoughts on what may be missing regarding the text to get it to GA and, eventually, FA status.
If you remember, I asked you aboutNoemvriana a couple of years ago. I have not forgotten your advice; it is just that it was difficult to get these two books (I am not in Greece), which I will get next month. So, at some point, I will push this article to a better status. I have already updated the references with theTemplate:sfn, which I find to be an improvement in keeping track of the citations. I am also going to revisitEleftherios Venizelos, as there are too many "citation needed" requests.
Thank you again, and happy editing.A.Cython (talk)21:00, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will be very happy to review, if (when) it goes to FA (I think I disqualified myself from GA reviewer by my edits and this discussion ;)).Constantine ✍21:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Καλησπέρα, επειδή δεν θέλω να πειράξω τίποτα και να σας χαλάσω την διαμόρφωση που έχετε φτιάξει, στην ελληνική σελίδα της οικογένειας Μεταξά, στα αξιοσημείωτα μέλη έχετε και τον Σπύρο Μεταξά του γνωστού ποτού. Το οποίο όνομα, δεδομένου ότι έχετε κάνει και έναν μικρό πόλεμο στα edits για το ποιός είναι σωστό να περιέχεται ή όχι ως ιστορική αλήθεια, δεν θα έπρεπε να βρίσκεται εκεί καθώς προέρχεται από εντελώς διαφορετική οικογένεια σε σχέση με την κεφαλλονίτικη.

Greetings!
Do you know a reference that mentions that Chaka Bey took Smyrna, much of the Aegean coastlands of Asia Minor and the islands lying off shore in his rebellion against the Byzantine Empire in 1088–91. I think this information is too detailed to be let uncitated.

Thank you today forAl-Muti, introduced (in 2022) as "about the 23rd Abbasid caliph, who ruled as a puppet of the Buyids. His tenure is generally held to represent the nadir of the caliphate's prestige and power, but the very powerlessness of the office allowed it to regain some stability and end the constant infighting of the Abbasid princes for supremacy. I rewrote the article effectively from scratch during 2021, and it passed GA in May 2021. Al-Muti and his time are not well covered in literature, but I am confident the article is the most complete English-language treatment of the subject in existence"! - Happy new year, in case you look here. --Gerda Arendt (talk)14:08, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
