She also had a full-brother... Name her because in the previous sentence her mother is mentioned.- Done
Upon her birth, Fathi Beg Afshar was appointed as her dada (nurse). Later in her adolescence, Khalil Khan Afshar became her lala (tutor). What is the relevance of the two sentences in the article's context. Her lala could be mentioned in connection with her murder.- Done

...her vizier Her vizier or vizier? Some context ("to the head of state administration..."....)- As her personal vizier. Her administration was separate from the main royal court
I would clarify his role. (Perhaps, "...and appointed the calligrapher Khwaja Majid al-Din Ibrahimi Shirazi to administer/head her court as her personal vizier.")

Image review
File:Seated princess (Art and History Trust No.92).jpg: US PD tag is needed; the source cited in Commons (its page 53) does not verify the picture- Fixed
File:Shah Ismail II on the throne (cropped).jpg: US PD tag is needed- Done
- I suggest that captions should be uniformised in regard to the data presented Borsoka (talk) 09:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Source review
- All but one sources are reliable academic publications.
*Why do you think Birjandifar's thesis (one of the main sources) can be regarded as a reliable source?
- Birjandifar is an expert with a PHD,[1] whose work has been published by major journals such as Iranian Studies. This thesis itself has been cited by major Safavid experts such as Colin P. Mitchell
ISBN is missing for Davis (2023), Ghereghlou (2016), Losensky (2004), Moshir Salimi (1957), Pārsādust (2009); add issn, publisher and location of publishing for Aldous (2021), Gholsorkhi (1995), and Soudavar (2000).Borsoka (talk)- Davis (2023) already has one. Ghereghlou (2016), Losensky (2004), and Pārsādust (2009) are part of the Online version of Encyclopedia Iranica, so I could only find ISSNs for them. Moshir Salimi (1957) does not have any. Done for Gholsorkhi and Soudavar. Aldous was deleted because it was no longer needed.
- I could not check any of the cited sources, so GA2C-D are accepted AGF. I was involved in wording, so I ask for a second opinion. I would pass this thoroughly researched, interesting article about a talented Sasanid royal princess. Borsoka (talk) 03:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
