For the new year, I'd like to have my entire front page full of 20-vote reviews. I currently 8 eight away. (I have a total of 47 19-voters).
If some kind soul would like to kick off my New Year's in a good way by boosting 8 of my 19-vote reviews to the almightly 20 vote barrier, I would gladly return the favour and send a few votes their way. A first page of all 20+ voters is a goal I've been hoping to get for a long time and I'm finally on the cusp of getting there.
(Insert begging smiley face here)
I've done what I can, Yukie, but I'd already voted on some of 'em! 
You've done enough Baffy!! Thanks! |

Kind of. The Sultanate was abolished in 1922, and the Turkish Republic was officially founded in 1923. The Caliphate, however, was not abolished until November in the following year. Just saying.
Happy about the Inconvenient Tooth review, which I have just voted for.
Thanks for the vote. 
Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between a Caliph and a Sultan? Is it like the difference between a bishop and a pope, or is it more subtle? Is a sultan a religious title or a political title (or both)? |

Sultan is a political title, which Eastern monarchs used going back centuries. The Caliph was similar to a Sunni Muslim pope, responsible for all the religious decrees and whatnot. When the Ottomans conquered Mecca in the 15th Century, the Ottoman Sultan at the time also adopted the Caliphate. Until 1922, all Ottoman Sultans were also automatically the Caliphs of the Sunni Muslims. Once the Sultanate was abolished, the title was passed on to the erstwhile Sultan's uncle, who, too, was exiled soon after, along with the rest of the Ottoman Royal family, in 1924, when the Caliphate was finally abolished. |

Thanks for the explanation. That clears things up.
And thanks to everyone who re-voted on "An inconvenient tooth!" |

I'm happy to say I got a smathering of reviews approved the last couple days and broke the top 100! |
