Talk:Beji Caid Essebsi

Italian or Sardinian?
Are you sure he was Italian and not Sardinian??? СЛУЖБА (talk) 23:48, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If you feel it more appropriate to write "a subject of the King of Piemont and Sardinia", no problem. --Pylambert (talk) 05:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * So, you want to say, that a state party was meant here? In that case Italy is even more out of the question! I actually thought that ethnicity (language) was meant. СЛУЖБА (talk) 19:10, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

About his name in Arabic
There is always a problem with Tunisian names and Arabic language (like the name of Burguiba, which is written on Wikipedia as بورقيبة (Burqiba). Name of Beji Caid Essebsi is written without glottal stop as you can see here, this is a photo from results of presidential election (official). So Muhammad al-Bājī Qā’id as-Sabsī is false and the correct one is Muhammad al-Bājī Qāyid as-Sebsī. Also, for as-Sabsi, it's pronounced with Schwa instead of a, so we can use i or e. --GeekEmad (talk) 20:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

language
This article needs revision to make it readily accessible to the generality of educated readers: foreign words or coinages such as "beylical" or "makhzen" will be meaningless to most readers and they should not have to go to links to get a sense of what is meant - see MOS:FOREIGN, WP:JARGON "Do not introduce new and specialized words simply to teach them to the reader when more common alternatives will do".


 * Hi, yes I think it does need rewording, it currently says:


 * Born in Sidi Bou Said to a family from the beylical agricultural makhzen[in English?],


 * How about something along the lines of:


 * Born in Sidi Bou Said, to a family from the local administration, in the agricultural region controlled by the makhzen tribal government of the Beylik of Tunis,


 * I'd do it 'boldly' but I'm not certain I've understood the makhzen bit properly. If the sentence above correctly describes the origins of his family then please go ahead. I think later use of the word beylical would clearly refer to the Beylik, and would then not really need fixing - except perhaps as a link to bey. ___ EdwardLane (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

ITN
I suggest to bring his death to the In the news/Candidates--MaoGo (talk) 14:12, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In order to comply with the ITN demands, I have commented the following honnnours
 * 🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea: Grand Cross of the National Order of Equatorial Guinea (27 February 2018)
 * 🇫🇷 France: Grand Cross of the Order of the Legion of honour (31 January 2018)
 * 🇸🇳 Senegal : Grand Cross of the National Order of the Lion (18 December 2018)
 * France Legion of Honneur database cannot be accessed for people that have died recently and I could not find any journal source. For Senegal and Equatorial Guinea I do not know where to look, Google search finds nothing. Please restore if a source is found.--MaoGo (talk) 08:14, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * This honour is also not in source
 * Grand Master & Grand cordon of the National Order of Merit (automatic upon taking presidential office)
 * Please add again if a source is found, also a source is needed for the term Grand Master.--MaoGo (talk) 10:32, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Also another source for "(automatic upon taking presidential office)" is needed for the other medals.--MaoGo (talk) 10:36, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
