March 2024[edit]

@R Prazeres: I have no issue with removing the paragraph According to social anthropologist Cristiana Strava, .. if you believe that it's UNDUE. The only reason I restored is because "Vogelman29" described it as spam and deleted it while falsely claiming that it doesn't exist. M.Bitton (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes the revert was reasonable, as it wasn't spam. If there's no other objection, I'll remove it for the reason I stated here. The source in question is perfectly relevant to cite in a discussion of contemporary Morocco, just not in this manner, and maybe not in this specific location. R Prazeres (talk) 22:05, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why is the 712,550 Km² area removed from the lead section and infobox? 808 AD (talk) 23:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not, it's in the same place it used to be, with explanation. R Prazeres (talk) 23:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, it certainly has been removed from the lead section and the infobox, I'm not talking about the footnote. This change doesn't respect neutrality and has to be reverted. 808 AD (talk) 23:27, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We're already giving the baseless claim UNDUE weight by mentioning it in the infobox, which is meant to summarize facts. M.Bitton (talk) 03:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The de facto rule over WS, and the US recognition are indeed facts. Nothing is Undue here. 808 AD (talk) 03:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:FRINGE. M.Bitton (talk) 03:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@808 AD: please read WP:ONUS and refrain from edit warring. M.Bitton (talk) 03:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I actually missed that the figure was trimmed inline in a recent edit by Snowstormfigorion ([1]). That said, footnote or no, I don't think quoting two radically different numbers inline in the lead is a very good idea. For that matter, I don't see why land area would be stated in the lead at all; it's not essential information (e.g. none of the featured country articles give that figure in the lead) and if the borders of the country are disputed, even more so a bad idea. R Prazeres (talk) 03:05, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, I have no problem with removing the land area from the lead (both numbers). What about the infobox? 808 AD (talk) 03:10, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The area of Morocco ends at its southern border with Western Sahara. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:15, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the Moroccan de facto rule doesn't. And the US recognition isn't fringe theory, we're talking about the recognition of a whole goverment, a very important member of the UN. 808 AD (talk) 14:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The US recognition is the definition of WP:FRINGE. The so-called de facto rule (illegal occupation) covers parts of the claimed territory. M.Bitton (talk) 14:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no consistent policy I believe for the infobox figures, but from a quick look at various other country articles where territory is a complicated question, there is typically one figure accompanied by a footnote explaining alternative estimates. I have no strong opinion about the best approach here, though obviously the figure excluding disputed territories should take precedence at least. R Prazeres (talk) 05:52, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the Israel article is a good example. 808 AD (talk) 14:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No it's not. The Russia article is much better in that sense. M.Bitton (talk) 14:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, or for that matter, India (which is a featured article), Pakistan, Argentina, China, etc. R Prazeres (talk) 21:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

@NAADAAN: you keep mentioning the constitution, but without citing it. Is there a reason for that? M.Bitton (talk) 20:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believed that citing different translations of the constitution was redundant, I believed that in this case -- giving a citation edit summary would be enough. Here is the official Tamazight translation of the constitution made by the IRCAM as was commanded under a 2019 law, I cited it previously in some of my edit summaries. You can see that "Kingdom of Morocco" is translated as "ⵜⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ" and that "God, Homeland, King" is translated as "ⵕⴱⴱⵉ, ⴰⵎⵓⵔ, ⴰⴳⵍⵍⵉⴷ" and that is the terminology used by the government. I have no idea why it's ommited. NAADAAN (talk) 20:49, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not redundant when it's disputed. It was removed by Snowstormfigorion who cited unsourced transcription and transliteration as an explanation. The source that you provided (I haven't checked it) should satisfy the transcription. Adding it will also prevent editors from fiddling with it, as is often the case with unsourced and badly sourced tifinagh words. Since the transliteration has also been challenged, finding a RS for it wouldn't be a bad idea. M.Bitton (talk) 14:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think a government source is good enough, I will indeed cite it now. NAADAAN (talk) 17:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have set the transliteration issue across other articles NAADAAN (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean the transcription, then I suggest you take certain precautions while doing so. This addition, for instance, is anachronistic. M.Bitton (talk) 18:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move "French" to "Foreign languages" in the sidebar.

It makes absolutely no sense to have English and Spanish in foreign languages but not French. It is just as foreign as these two languages and isn't widely spoken by the population. Kurdish Elf (talk) 05:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Country area[edit]

Why was Western Sahara removed? Way to offend an entire country... 2A02:908:820:AB00:90A8:2BEC:BC83:B14B (talk) 04:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HDI ranking error[edit]

In the info box for the HDI, Morocco is ranked as "120rd". Please correct to "120th". Intilyc (talk) 04:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate and misleading ethnic groups.[edit]

Genetically speaking all Moroccans are mostly amazigh characterized by Iberomarusian + Early European Farmer admixture. Arabs are Natufian + Iranic Neolithic farmer admix. This inaccuracy should be fixed to show the reality which is that the vast majority of Moroccans are amazigh. IbnMazigh (talk) 05:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
