Banu Hilal

Don't you think it's time we started a SPI (you can guess the SP I'm referring to)? M.Bitton (talk) 00:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I think I do and I was thinking that too, hehe. Unfortunately I'm too busy with real-world work this week to draft another one, but will try to help if I can. Feel free to ping me if you do start one. R Prazeres (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Sulaimān b. ʿAbd Allāh as-Sālih b. Mūsā al-Jawn

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Sharif_of_Mecca#/media/File:Scherifen_von_Mekka_Stammtafel_I.svg 161.253.74.225 (talk) 00:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment here, but see my explanation here. It's simply not helpful or necessary to name every ancestor of a person in their name like this. In very formal contexts, the full list of names might be presented, but this is uncommon practice in regular prose, which is what we use on Wikipedia. For the average reader (especially the average English reader), it just creates a long list of names that's hard to follow. The article clearly states his immediate common name, that this is where the term "Sulaymanid" comes from, and that he is a fifth-generation descendant from Hasan ibn Ali. This is all the important information presented clearly for the average reader. But feel free to make further suggestions at Talk:Sulaymanids. R Prazeres (talk) 00:35, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Dome

I'm not at all happy with this editor. I think they got this from WIkiwand ,the source says "Hesychius, their “royal tents and courts of round awnings were called Heavens.’’*” The general shape and appearance of these royal tents of Persia were presumably similar to the great domical tents of the Mongol Khans, which so impressed the Western travelers in the Middle Ages, and hence were not essentially different from the vast audience tent " Do you think that's sufficient/ Doug Weller talk 09:18, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the reminder on this, I was too busy and forgot to follow up. Indeed it is not sufficient, as I explained on the talk page. (The author makes no claim about the Achaemenids building domes, only that their tents might have resembled later circular tents and discusses the wider symbolism involved.) In any case, the editor edit-warred and refused to discuss on the talk page, so I'll revert it. I also see that you've now blocked them for subsequent behavior.

Imam Hakim

kindly refer to the talk page of Al Hakim be Amrillah in the article which explain why I had tagged the page. Rukn950 (talk) 18:31, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I did, and my edit summary was based on that. I've explained it again at the talk page for your benefit ([1]). R Prazeres (talk) 18:59, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Granada

You are editing from complete ignorance. Please stop. I will not continue reverting so as not to generate more conflict, but what you are doing makes no sense. The photo where the city of Granada appears is much more appropriate than typical and topical photos of tourists such as the Alhambra, already appears below.

The telephone prefix is not from the city of Granada but from the province of Granada.

The local pronunciation is not "Grana", that is totally FALSE. A hoax that someone has recently included and that you are justifying with a link to A SAUNA!! It is ridiculous.

And in Spain we have two surnames. Why do you eliminate the second surname of the mayor of Granada? Lopezsuarez (talk) 01:12, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Please use Talk:Granada for this discussion. Also, promising to "continue reverting" is a great way to convince administrators you are not editing constructively on Wikipedia. R Prazeres (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Do you speak English? I said "I will NOT CONTINUE REVERTING". I did not say that I will continue reverting. I really do not understand your attitude... I am very surprised. Lopezsuarez (talk) 01:31, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

You're right, I misread your comment as "I will continue...", my apologies. Nonetheless, the uncivil tone that preceded that sentence (and in your latest reply) does not help. R Prazeres (talk) 01:34, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

The Timurids Considered Their Ancestors to Be the Mongols

Please use the talk page at Talk:Timurid Empire, not mine, otherwise the other editors will not see what you wrote. Thanks, R Prazeres (talk) 20:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

It's getting out of control

Medieval Maghreb history articles are getting bombarded with Nationalist POV edits from multiple IPs, targeting mostly the infobox (Maps, Flags, Coa and status). It's been going on for a couple of days now. I suggest we ask for a 6 months long extended protection to be placed. Nourerrahmane (talk) 17:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I think the disruptions are not frequent enough at the moment for page protection, which in any case has to be decided on an article-by-article basis, which would be tedious to request. I believe one editor made a good suggestion recently that we should consider requesting that the Maghreb be designated as a "contentious topic". (I can't remember which editor at which talk page.) I don't have experience with that procedure, but it's something we could consider as a long-term measure; my understanding is that it makes it easier for administrators to block disruptors and protect articles during disruption. I don't have much time to spare right now, but I'd be happy to help if anyone wants to start a discussion on that. R Prazeres (talk) 18:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
