Well done. Big sweeping topics like this one can be a pig to cover adequately but this article has done a fine job of it. A lot of sweat, tears and loving care has clearly gone into it. Good work.

Could you rephrase "... raiding expeditions into Georgia, notably in 1518...", "... a period of relative peace and prosperity...", "... two and a half centuries of... political dominance over eastern Georgia...", "... all of Georgia as an Ottoman possession..." and "... a continuation of his predecessors’ efforts to..."
References.
The unreferenced lists of rulers need to either go or be referenced. I will put the review on hold for 7 days; please do one or the other during that time and let me know.
Could references without publishers or publisher locations have them added please.
As far as I can see, the only sources without publishers are those that are cited from the Enc. Iranica online, so I don't think its needed? I added a few publisher locations (the ones I was certain about), but similarly; I don't think its necessary/needed as long as the publisher is mentioned? Please let me know. -

Publishers are now covered. Sorry, but all 12 missing publisher locations need inserting. Do you know how to find publisher locations etc using
WorldCat?
@
LouisAragon:See here. The publisher location in this case is Costa Mesa, Calif. Always make sure that you have the correct edition. It also gives the publisher and other details, and if you scroll down, the ISBN and OCLC numbers. Worth playing around with a little. (I first tried Slaves of the Shah: New Elites of Safavid Iran, but couldn't find a 2004 edition; there is a 2003 and a 2005. WorldCat is not infallible, but that is worth checking.)

"located in the area of present-day Georgia" seems a little vague. '... within the territory of...'? '... largely within the territory of...'? '... approximately conterminous with...'? or whatever.
"From Tahmasp I's reign onwards". This seems important, so could you give an actual date, even if prefixed with 'approximately'?
I have copy edited a little. Revert anything you don't like.
Optional. There are a lot of "however"s, most not necessary. Consider losing some of them.
"In 1712–1719 Hosayn-Qoli Khan was kept in Iran". I am not sure what "kept" means. Imprisoned?
"Shah-Navaz, Bakar Mirza". Is that one person's name? It reads a little oddly.
More prose.
The 3rd paragraph of 16th century has "clarify" in the middle. This seems reasonable; what "political and social institutions"? And does Hitchins explicitly address this point?
@
Gog the Mild: Ok, well, not tomorrow, but better late than never... Done Please don't hesitate to perform a copy-edit on the sentences I just corrected,
[1] if you think it doesn't read as smoothly as it used to. -

"In 1624/25 Manuchar III Jaqeli," Could you replace with '1624–25' or '1624 or 1625' as appropriate.
"and had made him governor of Kartli, a post which he held for a long period of time." A long period of time is question begging. Is there not even a vague idea of how long this was?
@
LouisAragon: It is looking pretty good. I will copy all of the outstanding issues below for ease of reference.
Could you rephrase "... raiding expeditions into Georgia, notably in 1518...", "... a period of relative peace and prosperity...", "... two and a half centuries of... political dominance over eastern Georgia...", "... all of Georgia as an Ottoman possession..." and "... a continuation of his predecessors’ efforts to..."
^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the
Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of
featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as
copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and
sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
