Comment: If this page history is a little funky, its because the first nomination was badly formatted to the point of breaking the code, so I deleted the page and recreated it as the fastest way of fixing the mess. Cheers, Vanamonde (talk) 06:44, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Comment The English needs a quick going-over from a native speaker, especially adding "the" at numerous points. Johnbod (talk) 17:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Comment Want to mention that the assassin has an article in English wikipedia. Also for the merchant class, you can link to Bazaari. AlmaBeta (talk) 04:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Good point, AlmaBeta. Are you considering including a link to Khalil Tahmasebi in the hook? Maybe in place of the link to Fada'iyan-e Islam? Feel free to go ahead and include the link to Bazaari, and rephrase the line if you like. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 17:44, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Cleaned up, and should now be ready to go. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 00:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
