Talk:History of modern Tunisia

Split
This article covering the modern period was split off History of Tunisia.

Star Wars
Just a suggestion, but perhaps make a mention that the original Star Wars' desert scenes were filmed here? Not sure if that would qualify as something to throw in culture and arts, but I dunno. I haven't heard of anything else about Tunisia without actually researching it. 98.145.209.167 (talk) 03:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)TJ


 * Early History of Tunisia (which is focused on the indigenous Berber culture) at footnote 16 presents a photograph of one locale (Tataouine) used for filming Star Wars. Elfelix (talk) 04:22, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

names of rise to presidency
The two refs that give "Jasmine Revolution" are numbered [22] and [23] in of this article. The particular sentences are:
 * ref 22 (Temoignage Chretien): Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, qui aimait qualifier précisément son « coup d’Etat médical » de « Révolution du jasmin ».
 * ref 23 (Le Quotidien d'Oran): Pourtant son arrivée au pouvoir après le coup d'Etat médicale contre Bourguiba était qualifiée de «révolution de Jasmin». 

i.e. the first says that Ben Ali liked to give the name "Jasmine Revolution" for his "medical coup d'etat" and the second says that Ben Ali's rise to power after the "medical coup d'etat" was (generally) called the "Jasmine Revolution". Boud (talk) 12:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 01:31, 19 August 2014 (UTC)== Proposal to Rename the Article ==

This article only has information up to and including the Tunisian Revolution. Therefore, I propose that this article be renamed First Republic of Tunisia if nothing post-Revolution is added. The present title would be somewhat inaccurate if nothing else is added, or at least the article would be incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.255.184.148 (talk) 12:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

History of Carthage merge
For anyone interested, there is a discussion regarding merging History of Punic-era Tunisia: chronology and History of Punic-era Tunisia: culture into History of Carthage being held at Talk:History of Carthage. There is a new suggestion that material from those articles could be merged into History of Tunisia.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  10:10, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Rise to the Presidency
This section about Ben Ali's accession to power relies almost entirely on the testimony of a single Italian, as reported in 'La Reppublica'. It is lengthy and detailed and i don't think it really belongs in a general article about the History of Modern Tunisia. The material is in any case repeated in its entirety in the article 'Zine El Abidine Ben Ali' so anyone who wants more detail can find it there. I propose to remove it all from this article unless anyone feels it properly ought to stay here? Mccapra (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
