Talk:Battles of Madhar and Harura

Battle of Madhar

 * I think instead of creating a separate article for Madhar, it would be more appropriate to expand this article to cover both, since background section for both separate articles would be more or less the same, while aftermath of Madhar would be Harura, so there would be a lot of repetition in case of two separate articles. Article title can then be changed to something like "Battles of Madhar & Harura" or "Fall of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi" or something similar. Thanks. -- AhmadLX-(Wikiposta ) 13:51, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I thought about creating a separate article previously but, in addition to the reasons you mentioned, secondary sources generally don't provide us sufficient information. Even for Harura alone, I had to rely on Tabari directly for a lot of the information. Thankfully Dixon provides us fair amount of detail as well. As for the name, I prefer the first: "Battles of Madhar and Harura" unless we want to devote equal attention to the siege of Mukhtar's Kufa palace. Feel free to expand/amend as you see fit. Otherwise, I can take a stab at it in the coming weeks myself. --Al Ameer (talk) 14:33, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright then, I will add Madhar details in coming few days. Any improvements/help on your part would be welcome. Thanks. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta ) 15:46, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added Madhar content and moved the the article to "Battles of Madhar and Harura". Could you please readjust the lead and do some tidying of prose? Thanks. -- AhmadLX-(Wikiposta ) 20:53, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Man, you work fast ;) I’ll do general c/e and work on the lead this week, then we can nominate for GA. I’m going to work on a Second Fitna map that should be finished in a couple of weeks as well. —Al Ameer (talk) 22:21, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I wrote it in word file and then transferred it here ;) Thanks in advance for the map. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta ) 15:12, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
