Contradiction in Morocco articles

Both this article and Marrakesh state that they are the third largest city in Morocco. Oops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.59.206 (talk) 19:25, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Now both claim to be the fourth largest. --146.90.158.110 (talk) 23:14, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Place names and street names in English

Throughout articles about Maroc here on wikipedia, a lot of effort has been made to translate names into English. This is appreciated, but as an ex resident of Maroc, and a native English speaker, it is very annoying that many many street names have been Anglicised, when all English speakers in Maroc happily use French or Arabic names. Thus, I would never use the phrase "Hassan Tower" preferring instead to use the French "Tour Hassan". Similarly, I would use "Avenue Mohammed Cinq" rather that "Mohammed Cinq Avenue" even when talking with fellow English speakers.

I would like to see this reflected in wiki articles on Maroc - does anybody have any thoughts on this? --Roxy the dog (resonate) 00:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hah. I assume that's a no. Roxy, the dog. barcus 15:27, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Removing/dissolving gallery

Per WP:GALLERY and WP:IMAGELOCATION, "Gallery" sections are discouraged and images should be placed close to relevant text. So I've removed the gallery section and either moved some of the images to other places in the article or added new images to cover some of the topics. Since many of the images concern landmarks and monuments, I've added a smaller gallery with more specific images for that particular section. I've moved one of the images of downtown Rabat to the infobox to make it a little more representative of the city as a whole. For future reference, here is a version of the page before the gallery was removed. R Prazeres (talk) 03:59, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
