the layout style guideline;
(b)
reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
Move van Donzel et al one down, to put the list in alphabetic order.
Footnotes 4, 8, 12, 13, 14 don't link to their citations.
Prose
"The Muslims of Dahlak were probably not overly successful in proselytizing what now constitutes
Eritrea, since Christianity was still too established." This doesn't, IMO, really work as a sentence. What is "still" trying to communicate? And it doesn't seem to me to actually give a reason for the failure of proselytization.
@
Gog the Mild: Fixed the references as proposed. I also tried to rephrase your quoted sentence a bit. What I want to say is that the local church was already centuries old at the time of the arrival of the Muslims, hindering easy proselytization. Historically, Islam didn't start to spread in Eritrea until the 15th/16th century, though right now I lack a concrete source I can quote that from. Will eventually include that in the article later.

LeGabrie Based on what you wrote above I have had a go myself at a form of words re proselytization. If you don't like it, don't hesitate to revert. This is GA anyway. Nice work.

User:Gog the Mild I will probably change it as soon as I have a valid source concerning the start of mass Islamization in Eritrea. Thanks again for your time. Time to get a featured article ready next.

Additional notes
^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the
Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of
featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as
copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and
sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
