New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Must AGF on the offline sourcing. His age is unclear, but it's clear he was prisoner a long time from the text and the fragments you shared of the source. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

I have been wondering of the strange spelling for داود in English and found some books transcribing it with an apostrophe-like symbol, but also with the expected spelling Dawud, and Daoud on the German Wikipedia.

The other name is apparently الحامد لله, not what I saw here, الحميد الله "al-Ḥamīd Allah".

@Cplakidas: Should I respell the article? Daoud or Dawud (also Dāwūd) are better and more expectable transcriptions for the Arabic name, as they don't falsely suggest a glottal stop. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahmudmasri: I also wondered at the spelling, TBH, and on reflection, I tend to agree with you. If you want to respell the article, go ahead! Thanks a lot for checking this! Constantine ✍ 16:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, and it's such an interesting topic I didn't know about. Thanks for writing about it. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 16:41, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will review this over the next few days. --AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 23:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead is too short.
al-Ḥāmid li'llāh and al-Ḥāmid li-'llāh
No diacritics per MOS (walī al-ʿahd -> wali al-ahd etc.)
'Hidden Imam' should link to Occultation
Briefly introduce Qadi al-Fadil, Baha al-Din Qaraqush

A nice little article. I would have preferred some more detail, but given the dearth of info in the sources (I checked some of them), I think I can compromise on broadness. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 22:30, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AhmadLX, thanks for taking the time to review this. I think I've addressed your points. Anything else? Constantine ✍ 13:00, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No that was all from me, and this is a Pass. Nice work. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 22:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
