King of the Ghassanids, the most important Byzantine client ruler of the late 6th century and one of the most important pre-Islamic Arab rulers. The article passed a rather thorough GA about a year ago, but it is complete and well-referenced, and should meet A-class criteria. I'd like eventually to push this for FA, so any criticism and/or advice is welcome! Constantine ✍ 13:28, 23 March 2012 (UTC) reply
So far so good on prose per
standard disclaimer, down to where I stopped, about two-thirds of the way, at
Al-Mundhir_III_ibn_al-Harith#Arrest and exile. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (

Support. Sourcing looks good, article seems comprehensive, and the language is understandable. I would, however, like to see an additional sentence or two explaining A-M III's importance to history. I note that his reign ended one year before Muhammad was born in the region just to the south. I assume that actions during his reign must have had some influence on the rise of Islam just a few decades later, but I don't see anything about this.
