Pretty general and useless links, unless they fit some particular need within the article. —

So...
what does the article think the difference between "Ghazna" and "Ghanzi" is? If they both refer to the city, use one form. If they don't, clarify that. —

And please do say if you disagree with some of the edits I have made in the article.

Are you sure Sabuktigin used the title of "Amir"? It's currently unsourced, and even his Iranica article doesn't mention it. I find it a bit odd that he would have used the same title as his Samanid suzerains. --

Just read some of The Ghaznavids: Their Empire in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran, seems like "amir" was a common title even amongst the Samanids and local rulers/governors. The info about Sabuktigin being amir does not appear in the body of the article, which it should, so the citation in the lede also can get removed. This info, written by Bosworth, will fit well in the article

Added the information, any thoughts?
Infobox
Since Sabuktigins sons are mentioned, so should Hurra-yi Kalji in the Death and succession section, instead of in a note. --

Done
Abu al-Muzaffar Nasr's name is spelled in two different ways in the infobox and body of the article, which one is the right one? --

Fixed
Are you sure that Sabuktigin believed in the Karramiyya school? I couldn't find anything on the cited page. Also, I think it would be good to have a short mention of Sabuktigin being Sunni Muslim in the body of the article. --

My bad, the actual page was 186. Also, added some information about his conversion to Karramiyya in the Administration section.

Looks good. I'm surprised you didn't use The Ghaznavids: Their Empire in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran, 994-1040 by Bosworth, it has a lot of info, and written late in his career when he was practically the face of Medieval Islamic history. I've uploaded it here if you're interested

Thanks for the link. I replaced most of the references to his thesis with the book.

Oh, I thought the work was created much later than 1963. Anyways, good to see that preferred over a thesis.

Sorry for the lack of communication and long wait time. I’ve not been at home for a week. I’m back tommorow, and I’ll have it completed before the week ends.
