Overlap with "List of conflicts in Morocco" page

edit

Just making a note here that this page seems to significantly overlap in scope with List of conflicts in Morocco, especially with the expansions currently or recently being made. In fact they basically seem to be the same thing except one page is a list format and the other a table. I don't have time right now to propose or oversee a potential page merger, but I'll tag the page at least so editors can be aware of it. If a merger isn't appropriate, then the scope of the article should be better defined in some way to distinguish it from the other. R Prazeres (talk) 04:50, 17 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Add the Almohad and Almoravid wars

edit

I would like to add the wars of the Moroccan Almohad and Almoravids. Do I have to show sources for this? because their conflicts are already listed on wikipedia. Thomas162354 (talk) 22:37, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Almohad and the Almoravids are part of the shared history of multiple modern countries, none of which existed back then. M.Bitton (talk) 22:42, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
sooo ok. So should I cite sources that prove almohad and almoravide are moroccan? Thomas162354 (talk) 12:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
That will be a waste of time as the subject has been discussed multiple times on their respective articles. M.Bitton (talk) 12:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
ooh. According to my research and documentation, almohad are Moroccan dynastie. Morocco was founded in 798
Okay so now I'll show my sources that the Almohad and Almoravid is Moroccan.
Almohad:

there are numerous sources. I only mentioned 3 for now. I still have to think about the Almoravids because they are more Mauritania than Moroccan. but Almohad is 100% Moroccan. Thomas162354 (talk) 13:44, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The obvious anachronism has been discussed multiple times in the concerned articles, so there is no excuse for introducing the nonsensical POV in this article. M.Bitton (talk) 13:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't quite understand. where was that discussed? I don't see anything here in Talks. I named 3 good sources that prove that Almohad belongs to Morocco. What are the requirements for Almohad to be included in the list? Thomas162354 (talk) 14:03, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The Almoravid and the Almohad Caliphate. Cherry picking some out of context nonsense is not how Wikipedia works. Frankly, there isn't a chance that the Almohad Caliphate (that covered multiple modern countries) could be included in any of their lists, but you're welcome to rehash there what has been rejected ad nauseam. M.Bitton (talk) 14:09, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hmm ok
As I said, I don't see any discussion about this in the talks.
Furthermore, wikipedia works so that you specify objective sources and then that shouldn't really be a problem.
okey since you don't consider harvards and oxford as a source and consider it nonsense, you probably believe wikipedia yourself.

can you explain to me why in this and many other wikipedia entries the almohad is referred to as "Moroccan"? All but the English wikipedia refer to almohad as "Moroccan dynasty". Is there a reason for this? Thomas162354 (talk) 14:55, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
All but the English wikipedia refer to almohad as "Moroccan dynasty" 1) That's not true. 2) What other wiki projects do or don't do is irrelevant to this one. 3) You didn't mention the French Wikipedia (the one that is edited by editors from the concerned modern countries). Is it because it contradicts your assertion? No need to answer. M.Bitton (talk) 15:08, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
No. Of course, after the collapse of the Moroccan dynasty, several countries emerged.

okey so that I understood correctly. If I live in Germany, Poland , Russia or anywhere else then according to Wikipedia almohad is Moroccan.
_______________________________________________
but if i live in an english speaking area then according to wikipedia almohad is not moroccan and does not belong to any country right? Thomas162354 (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't know how else to explain this to you, but Morocco didn't exist back then, so the wiki projects that you are citing (while being careful to avoid those that matter, i.e., the French and the Arabic) don't change this fact. If how other wikis describe it is important to you, then maybe you should correct them. M.Bitton (talk) 10:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
The statement about Morocco is not correct. The Maghrib existed long before the almohad.
Furthermore, I do not ignore the most important thing, but in both French and Arabic Wikipedia it is pointed out that Almohad is Moroccan.
In the French wiki, almohad is listed as morocco.
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroc
In the Arabic wiki, almohad is listed as morocco
https://ar.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%BA%D8%B1%D8%A8
Why aren't the almohad listed on the english wikipedia?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco
It is also named that way. It is important to me that the english wikipedia is correct and the almohad is moroccan.
Since we have a difference of opinion and you don't seem interested in a discussion, I'll end this talk here. Thomas162354 (talk) 11:10, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
1) The Maghreb is not Morocco. 2) I see that you're going out of your way to ignore how the concerned article (the Almohad Caliphate) is described in the French and Arabic projects, even though that's the article that you referred to when mentioning the other irrelevant wikis. Also, don't change your comments (section title) when someone has already replied to it. 3) Forcing me to repeat what I said about other wiki projects that don't support your assertions is not what I would describe as discussion that would lead somewhere.
