Initial comments

[edit]
After a quick couple of read throughs, this appears to be a reasonably-comprehensive, well-referenced article of about GA-standard. In passing, I think that the WP:Lead needs a bit of work done; but I normally leave the review of the lead until last, so I will delay any detailed comments on that until I've completed my review of the main body of the article.
I will now carry out a more detailed review. Pyrotec (talk) 20:31, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background -
  • The siege -
  • Khalid's attack & Aftermath -

These two sections are generally compliant. Pyrotec (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
