Greetings. I'm continuing to try to enhance this page, as some others on caliphs, etc. drawing largely on at Tabari's History. This isn't finished. One thing I notice is a plethora of internal links. I think maybe somewhere there's a note that wikipedia pages are higher quality if they have links, so some people add links that may not really have much to do with the article. Here there are the year links. There was also a general one re divorce. I think I'm going to begin more energetically erasing some of these. Feel free to put them back and converse about them. As I understand wikipedia, I don't think such links are what they mean. The link I added to the Babak article is probably more what they had in mind. Peace, Gallador 22:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Most of the contents of the section on al-Amin are really about Imam Reza. Also, is poisoning of Reza by al-Mamun a proven fact? The article states so. At the ebd of the section there is a mentioning of some Ibragim without any explanation who that person is. idiotoff 05:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Found out who the Ibrahim bit refers to and clarified it. I agree that the poisoning needs a quotation, though. And the bit about Imam Reza appears in two different places in article - one of the two could probably be removed. Not to mention that in the second place, Imam Reza is said to have died, and then "Later, al-Ma'mun had him poisoned". That doesn't make too much sense.
