I believe this article is stable, undisputed, thoroughly gone through by many Muslim, and non-Muslim editors, and represents a good explanation of what the Caliphate is, the position it holds in Sunni Islam, it's history with diagrams, the basic structure of the system, with reference to classical Islamic lawyers, and the hope or threat of it's re-establishment.

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]
Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was
Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.[?]
Per
WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per
Wikipedia:Summary style.[?]
Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
