Talk:Jellabiya

Name
OK so before anyone gets upset about my edit, I don't know much about the subject and am just trying to make things easier to understand. Before my edit, there were no fewer than five different spellings in the same article. Excluding the names in parentheses they were:


 * jellabiya
 * jalabiya
 * galabeya
 * jelabiya
 * galabiya

I don't particularly care which one is chosen, but having five makes the article cluttered. Since they all seem to refer to the same thing, I propose to pick whatever two (or three) names are most common to bold at the beginning, add citations for them, and use one name throughout the article.

I inserted a citation for jalabiya from the Smithsonian Magazine (should be a reliable English-language source), and I just unilaterally made all references jellabiya since that's the name of the article, but I'm leaving this comment here in case someone with more knowledge than me can add a citation for jellabiya and decide how best to unify the spelling.

There's other issues with the article, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
