This seems like the War losing part, pre-persia, is too long.. but, I don't know how to shorten it, so, help would be appreciated. --Irishpunktom\^talk 23:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

There are two important sources for Humayun's reign which I haven't read: Khwandamir's Qanun-e Humayun and Biyazid Biyat's Tadhkira-e Humayun wa Akbar which I think you've cited. I need to have a look at these before I make any more changes. Great job so far! Sikandarji 16:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Nominee

I saw this article listed at WP:GAN, & have a couple of comments regarding its nomination. First, is someone in the middle of adding endnotes to this article? The notes end about half way thru the article, & none of them reference any of the works under "References". Second, I found the introductory paragraph not exactly clear: am I the only one who thinks this? If these two items were addressed -- & I don't see any reason someone can't fix them within a day or two -- then I feel this would qualify as a GA. -- llywrch 22:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm impressed with this extensive article. However, I feel that the references need to be fixed up before I'm willing to give my stamp of approval. There are some areas where the references are abundant (and that's awesome!), but they are very absent in others (such as "Personal Traits"). Maybe a good goal is one reference per section. Also, it would be better to use the < ref > tag (without the spaces in it) instead of using notes and references. It's much easier and there aren't any numbering issues (like citation 4 coming after citation 7). This article has been on the Good Article Nominee list for quite some time and frankly, if this isn't addressed in a few days, I think it deserves to be taken off the list. So, fix the references in a timely manner and this article will get my stamp of approval for Good Article. Thunderforge 01:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Also, if the article will go up for Featured Article status, some of this needs to be rewritten to less from a storytelling angle and more from an encyclopedic informative angle, in my opinion. That said, I think it is already a Good Article. —Rob (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
