Islam Christianity discrepancy
editIn the Christianity and Islam section of the Demographics area, the former says that Roman Catholicism is the largest religion in Melilla at 65%, while the latter says that half the population of Melilla are Muslim. Obviously, both cannot be correct. 70.54.170.111 (talk) 19:38, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

WP:NOTDICT & WP:UE
editWe must have the actual romanizations of foreign text like Arabic. We do not need every variant IPA transcription in the lead sentence, especially when it runs to fill an entire line. It's questionable that /ə/ needs a separate version, since it's just informal/unstressed handling of the short /ɛ/ sound, and there's already a (mishandled) #Name section. That's where a laundry list of IPA forms should be dumped if we're even including them instead of (more correctly/helpfully) providing links to the Wiktionary entries. — LlywelynII 16:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Oh, and the unsourced "Spanish pronunciation" is/was wrong per the Wiktionary entry and our article on the Spanish double L. The editor who added it provided a historic pronunciation, but not a local or standard one. Ditto the mistranscription of the Punic characters on the coinage, presumably owing to Lara Peinado. Ditto misattributing the Latin to Ptolemy and Pliny instead of just Pliny. &c. &c. &c. — LlywelynII 17:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Berber script unneeded?
editThe article on Tarifit language says it's typically written in a modified Latin script, not with the Berber alphabet. Is that mistaken? or should both appear? — LlywelynII 16:59, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
