i don't think we could say she's "from" : Tafilalt, she just passed by. She is from "The Ahhagar".

if no objections, i'll change that. - Dzlinker (talk)

Hi Dzlinker - Accodring to the article she is originally from Tafilalt, then settled in Ahaggar. The categories "People from ..." apply to people who are natives or known residents of a given place. She qualifies for both the Tafilalt and Ahaggar categories. Tachfin (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Masmuda & Ribat

Actually, technically, they are. Berghwata were originally a branch of the Masmuda, although since their "apostasy", they are not normally grouped together with "the Masmuda" (TM) of the High-Middle Atlas, so I'm not going to object to your change. (For the record, Ghomara are also "Masmuda") Walrasiad (talk) 21:19, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Also - one more question on your "ribat" reference. Yes, Waggag had a ribat, that is indisputable. But the connection between that and the Almoravid name is not one I have explicitly seen, and makes me a little wary. Is the connection explicitly made in a chronicle, or is it loose intepretation/speculation in secondary literature? Walrasiad (talk) 21:25, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, that would make the Masmuda quite a big tribe. I've read (In al-Bakri I think) that they are not one group but various Berber tribes that became known by that name because of their following of Salih's relgion.
No actually there is only a mention of the name of the ribat in the chronicles. But I thought that it might be possible given Abi Zar's account; Ibn Yassin founding a Ribat in Tidra and giving it the same name as that of his teacher seems a reasonable theory. I'll remove it if this qualifies as OR. Tachfin (talk) 21:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
I've checked al-Bakri, he says they are originally Zenata and a number of other groups...Tachfin (talk) 22:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Al-Bakri says that? That's very odd. Well, Ibn Khaldun certainly classifies them with Masmuda, and everyone since seems to have followed that. I suppose it is possible they could be a mixed bunch. Although I thought they really didn't get along with the Zenata at all. Yes, the Masmuda are quite big. If their history is to be believed, they covered all of Morocco at one point, they were the originals, until the Zenata and Sanhaja started arriving and tried to penetrate and squeeze them out of the valleys, wedging them into parts (Ghomara in the Rif, Berghwata in Tamensa and Masmuda (TM) in the High Atlas). Walrasiad (talk) 22:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
On "ribat": it is possible, I guess. Although shoehorning Waggag in is a bit of a stretch, sine he is a rather peripheral figure, the Almoravids didn't reach his area until later in the campaign. The push in recent literature is to try to move away from the "monastery-fortress" explanation, and underline the abstract "trying/persevering" explanation, rather than a concrete location. In a couple of places, I've even found ribat translated as "the cause" (more precisely the "coming together for..." a cause), with the "Almoravids" as the "the Men of the Cause", which seems kinda like how they presented themselves. Walrasiad (talk) 23:08, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes he says that Salih preached his religion between the Zenata of Tamesna. He also added a list of tribes that observed this religion + another number of tribes that were Muslims but under the authority of the Berghwata. Though he relied on an informant (A Senhaja from Azemmur) and was not a specialist as Ibn Khaldun. My understanding of this was that the Masmuda were everything south of Azemmur until the Sahara (Doukkala, Regraga, Haha then the Sous and the High Atlas) and north of Azemmur -along the coast- were the Berghwata up-until the Jebala.
Re Waggag, if we were to believe Ibn Abi Zar & al-Bakri he was fairly important as he was the one who called on the Almoravid to come north and who commended Ibn Yassin to go back to the Sahara and fight those who didn't follow him. Also after the death of Ibn Yassin only the disciples of Waggag assumed the religious authority (a certain sliman and another after him according to Qadi Ayyad), though this might have changed under Yusef Ibn Tashfin. The word al-Murabitun certainly has many figurative meanings as it is cited in the Qur'an twice in the sens of perseverance, patience, courage in facing tribulations. According to Lisan al-Arab dictionary, all meanings are related to the primary r-b-t (to tie) and ribat (the place where a military force in encamping in preparation of a fight). The structure of the word (i.e. use of long "a" after the r) denotes the perpetuation of an action. (see Masdar though the explanation on wiki is vague) Tachfin (talk) 12:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted the IP's edit, then I looked at what the edit was about and it was constructive. I self-reverted my rollback edit. It wasn't disruptive editing as far as I can see aside from the rapid undoing of your edits and the IP's by each other. As for the block evasion, I don't know. Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Looked at the IP's recent contributions and saw that he had vandalised your userpage, talk page and the sockpuppet investigation page. That IS disruptive. Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Favonian gave the reason for the block as block evasion. I rest my case. Shuipzv3 (talk) 13:46, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes that is a blocked disruptive user. Occasionally he may make constructive edits, but evading a block is always vandalism; I don't look at every diff since I already know what they are gonna be.

They don't have an official website only an unofficial forum; so there the only credible Moroccan sources are reliable media (official newspaper/TV) or government press releases. --Tachfin (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Frankly I don't have any specific military knowledge so I can't help more. This board [1] has some members of the Army who seem to be generally well informed about the subject and they do post links about its activity; but it's in French and I think they restrict the Military sections to registered users. --Tachfin (talk) 13:22, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Naturalized citizens of Qatar

Hey, the work on Qataris is appreciated, but can you tell me why you added the category wrongly to so many pages? I can count around 16-17 wikipedia pages where the subject is not naturalized. Elspamo4 (talk) 11:24, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I've added any wrongly. --Tachfin (talk) 11:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

As I said, I can see more than 15 pages wrongly added (all football). As long as the subject is born in Qatar, then they are most probably not naturalized. Hussein Yasser, for example, may be an exception, but there is no certainty whether the other people of foreign descent were naturalized, e.g Mirghani Al Zain or Hamad Shami. We know where they are descended from, but we would need proof that they were NOT a citizen from their time of birth. And you have added the category to some ethnic Qataris, such as Saud Al Hajri and Hassan Al Haidos. I'm going to remove it from some of the pages, unless you can provide individual references for each of them being naturalized or clarify on why they're considered naturalized. Elspamo4 (talk) 11:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Being born in Qatar isn't enough. According to Qatari law, a person is considered a native Qatari if they're born to a Qatari father, whether abroad or in Qatar. Anyway, providing individual references for each case is an uphill task, especially considering that they change their names as well. Feel free to remove if you have doubt but keep it reasonable, Qatar's history of sport's naturalization is extensive. --Tachfin (talk) 04:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm aware of Qatari law. The point is, while it is obvious that some of them are of foreign descent, there is no certainty of their family's history in the country, or if any of their any of their fathers were naturalized. I've already removed the category from most of the football-related pages, but I see it has been added to some ethnic Qatari athletes as well. I understand why you would add it to people whose names seem foreign, but you should be able to distinguish ethnic surnames, such as Muftah or Al Dosari. Anyway I will remove it from 5 or 6 more pages and then I'm done. Elspamo4 (talk) 09:57, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay --Tachfin (talk) 11:42, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Just to add to that, please do not add categories for unreferenced information about descent. If their descent is not explicitly stated and referenced in the article, do not add the category stating that they are "of country X descent". I've had to go through and clean up a bunch of articles, almost 20 now and still not done. TonyStarks (talk) 10:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Your edit summary indicates that you think the content of the list merely overlaps with that of the main article; but unless I've missed something it really is literally just a duplication of the relevant content. That is to say, all of the content of the list is available at the main article.

Maghrebi quarter (Harat Al-Maghariba) or Moroccon Quarter?

Please join the discussion here [2]. A Moroccan user, Omar-Toons is claiming that the Maghrebi quarter (Harat al-Maghariba) of Jerusalem established starting the 11th century (by people from all over the Maghreb region, as stated by some other wikis) is exclusively Moroccan. Insisting that the articles’a name should be ‘the Moroccan quarter’ and not ‘the maghrebi quarter.’. The recurrent expression(s) in the article has (have) been modified. We can read, from the article:

  • according to the 15th-century historian Mujir ad-Din, as a waqf (charitable trust) dedicated to Moroccans;
  • ‘Later pious Moroccan donors extended this with several other waqfs: in 1303’
  • for the benefit of Moroccans living in the Moroccan Quarter,

Now there are doubts about my sincerity!!! Do you expect me to write an article glorifying the monarchy to be more sincere. Enough of being ashamed, no offense, but those issues are real and deserve to be addressed in wiki. The United Nations and the US Department of State write reports every year about Cannabis production and human trafficking in Morocco, go and ask them to not do so. Please, no more accusations.

Morocco...

Hello

I am not that new user you think. He re is an answer already given to Omar-Toons here [3]:

I do not really understand this behavior from user Omar-Toons. I do not neither understand what he means by "presumed new user"!!!??? Why is that? Is it only because I asked for references? Or may be Omar-Toons do not like to be challenged. As I know, Wikipedia is a collaborative project in which contributors should accept to be collaborative and should accept to be challenged on a scientific base.

Now, to avoid confusion, let me introduce myself. I am not that new user. I contributed long time ago, under an IP address, to Wiki (because of that I already know some of the policies). Starting the month of September, my son (the high school student here in Canada) has to accomplish some extensive work about Morocco (as have some of his classmates to accomplish similar work about other north African countries). And, to be honest, I was shocked to see all that unreliable content. How could we trust that? How could we as parents and how could our teachers allow some scientific works to be based on such articles? So I decided to be back.

Now, in my real life, I am a university professor. And the most important is that I am a reviewer for some of the most prestigious scientific journals edited in Oxford, UK. Analyzing and reviewing articles is my job.

Omar-Toons is accusing me of policing him, I do not understand how he dares showing to other administrators an example of his rudeness and impoliteness towards other contributors!? (Stating their contributions are stupid) Is it allowed to be that rude and impolite in Wiki? Omar-Toons also treated one of my contributions of useless while he has simply hidden a part of the article republic of Sale’ instead of sourcing it. Now, let’s admit you were translating the article, why did not you add the appropriate tag to let us know??? Finally, I would like to inform the administrators that I do not contribute to wiki to be involved in edit wars, my aim is to make wiki more reliable.

Now, regarding the fun stuff and other places as you mentioned:(there are other places for what you seem to be wanting to do; youtube, blogs, twitter & lots of other fun stuff). You talk to me as if I was a teenager!!!! Please take a look at my user page, it will give you a pretty good idea about me.

Finally, I am not treading on thin ice as all my contributions are VERY WELL SOURCED. Fort-Henry (talk) 23:35, 18 November 2012 (UTC) Enough is enough, stop reverting and join the discussion...Fort-Henry (talk) 12:43, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Moroccan history articles

Hi Tachfin,

I recently (about a month ago) wrote two articles on Moroccan history - one on the History of Marrakesh, another on the Battle of Sidi Bou Othman, that I would appreciate more experienced editors on Moroccan topics like you and Omar-Toons to take a look at. If you have a few minutes, I would appreciate a quick proof-read for errors and omissions. Thanks in advance. Walrasiad (talk) 02:31, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of EasyPHP

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on EasyPHP, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Recent French Montana edit

Both WP:OPENPARA and WP:MOSBIO state:

Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.

Since the subject is notable for being a rapper, where he was born and his ethnicity is not relevant to the his notability. Even if we kept that, per WP:OVERLINK, we don't link to countries.

It was reverted by another editor without explanation, so I thought I would explain here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqa

While Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqa is the name of the Aqa Khan Imamate Nizaris, not all Nizaris are followers of the Aqa Khan as al-Imam al-Hadhir. We should not replace the description of Nizarism with that of a single sect of Nizaris. I myself am a Nizari of the Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqa but I do not think it is wise to write off all Nizaris who don't follow my Imam. The page should be rewritten to emphasise the centrality of the Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqa in Nizari thought and practice but the Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqa should not displace all Ismailis of the Nizari persuasion by default. Ogress smash! 14:47, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Honestly I don't think there is call for a separate article aside from "Nizari" at this time; it would be greatly duplicated. It's worthwhile just to note that the majority of Nizaris are followers of the Aqa Khan in the article as it would be kind of a rabbit hole of scholarship to find anyone knowledgeable enough to write about those who aren't followers of HRH the Aqa Khan. Still, they should not be erased due to lack of scholarship. But it's definitely incorrect to remove the page Nizari and replace it with just the followers of the HRH as Hazir Imam. Best just to revert to Nizari, especially since we are also dealing with pre-modern Nizaris in the article as well whose fiqh was quite distinct. Ogress smash! 15:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

I found your (August 2011) tag, which said "General inaccuracies, many of these birds have little to do with WS, article is overly long". I've removed the tag, because all of these species have been recorded in the country, so the list isn't really "overly long"; in fact, the current list for the country is 335 — more than 100 species more than is currently shown in our article! I'll be working on bringing the list up-to-date, including indicating which species are vagrants/accidental. Please let me know if you continue to have concerns!

Mounir Majidi

The first point, in the intro, I was clarifying what was otherwise uncommon English wording. Also, I found English sources that replaced information reinforced by a French source. In WP:A, it shows that WP:V § Non-English sources aren't preferable because this is the English Wikipedia, for the convenience of readers in the English-language, sources should be used in preference to foreign-language sources, provided they are otherwise of equal suitability, so that readers can easily verify that the source material has been used correctly.

I wanted to address the changes I made to the article, and explain why I'm hitting "undo" on your deletions and certain additions. As to the "unexplained removal of content," on the second point, the biography, the <ref>{{cite news|title=PALACE COERCION PLAGUES MOROCCO'S REAL ESTATE SECTOR|url=http://dazzlepod.com/cable/09CASABLANCA226/?q=Mounir%20Majidi|accessdate=14 August 2012|newspaper=Consulate Casablanca|date=Dec 11, 2009}}</ref> leads to a dead link. http://dazzlepod.com/cable/09CASABLANCA226/?q=Mounir%20Majidi Doesn't exist.

The same points I made about the intro can be attributed to undoing the 'Early Life,' and 'Business' sections, your changes aren't explained or justified, as you're using French sources, again against WP:A to remove three entire paragraphs of my contribution using reliable English sources. We can start a talk section under the page itself if you have any questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chewbakadog (talkcontribs)

Bouti

Hi,

You added the following to the Mohamed Said Ramadan Al-Bouti article:

"Al-Bouti authored more than sixty books on various Islamic issues, and was considered an important scholar of the approach based on the four schools of Sunni Islam and the Ash'arite creed, which is considered a heresy by the Sunni-Salafis/Wahhabis[10] of groups such as ISIS and al-Nusra Front."

I'm sorry but this doesn't appear to make sense. Could you explain the point that you are trying to make?

Thanks RookTaker (talk) 19:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Ok. I think the text would read better as follows: "Al-Bouti authored more than sixty books on various Islamic issues, and was considered an important scholar of the approach based on the four schools of Sunni Islam and the Ash'arite creed, which is considered a heresy by groups such as ISIS and al-Nusra Front." What do you think? RookTaker (talk) 21:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Upwork, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thomas Layton. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
