Talk:Arabic prosody

English
The language of the article is unprofessional and makes quite a bit of grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, as well as your usual semantic confusions. It definitely needs a trusty hand for correction. 78.190.153.85 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:10, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Mnemonic phrase
I have deleted the following sentences: (لَمْ أَرْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ جَبَلِ سَمَكَةً lam ʾar ʿalā ẓahri jabali samakatan) ("I did not see a fish on top of a mountain").
 * There are mnemonic phrases that facilitate memorizing the ʿarūḍ patterns. One example of these mnemonic phrases is:

The reason is that it makes no sense as it stands. It is unclear whether it refers to the arud writing or to the classification into different metres. Kanjuzi (talk) 13:27, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Abdel-Malek's book
The three paragraphs at the end of the introduction seem to be an advertisement for Zaki Abdel-Malek's book, and (judging from the style, which is the same as the book) were evidently added by Dr Abdel-Malek himself. They read like an advertisement full of personal opinion rather than factual information. I am not convinced that this is proper for an encyclopedia. They certainly don't belong in the introduction, which ought to be a summary of the material included with greater detail in the rest of the article. For example: "Unfortunately, he failed to produce a coherent, integrated theory which satisfies the requirements of generality, adequacy, and simplicity". This is a statement of Dr Abdel-Malek's personal opinion; it is not the opinion of scholars in general. I suggest that the whole three paragraphs should be omitted and that an external link to Dr Abdel-Malek's book should be placed at the bottom of the page. Kanjuzi (talk) 14:42, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Aruz wezni into Arabic prosody
The page is literally same with Arabic prosody, it's just the Turkic version of it. Ahmetlii (talk) 21:43, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The article begins "Aruz wezni, or aruz prosody, is a kind of Turkic poetic rhythm", which is of course not true. The term refers to Persian meters used in Turkish. The article, apart from being very short, is therefore not very informative or accurate. Kanjuzi (talk) 07:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: Reproposed on Persian metres per feedback.Ahmetlii (talk) 17:56, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
