Article meets the criteria, but I have a query about the hook... doesn't the article say it was one of two sites that had indigenous Arab units stationed there? Miyagawa (talk) 21:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the key word is "indigenous." The other Arab unit was not native to the city where it was stationed. See the second passage of the "Early history and etymology" section for further clarification. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:44, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Took another three read throughs, but finally got my head around it! Good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 18:29, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'll see if I could better clarify the issue in the article by briefly mentioning the situation of the other town. --Al Ameer son (talk) 18:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
