Good, but ...
It would be even better if the external links indicated the language used in each link. Hope there will be an entry for this person on French Wikipedia. Vernon White (talk)  18:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Worldcat lists him as Muḥammad Shafīq
Worldcat lists him as Muḥammad Shafīq. This is a slight problem, as there are articles at Mohammad Shafiq & Mohammed Shafiq. Peaceray (talk) 09:19, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Planning a huge overhaul!
LEAD

Mohamed Chafik (Berber: ⵎⵓⵃⵎⵎⴷ ⵛⴰⴼⵉⵇ; Arabic: محمد شفيق), born 17 September 1926, is a leading figure in the Amazigh cultural movement. An original author of the Amazigh Manifesto, he was later appointed as the first Rector of the Royal Institute of the Amazigh Culture. He has worked extensively on incorporating Amazigh culture into Moroccan identity and is a leading intellectual of the Moroccan intelligentsia.

While some of this article is already written, I plan to expand and improve it. I will specifically focus on contributions made to the Berber community and other contributions to Moroccan linguistics. There is also very little information about his early life and education that I hope to fill in. There is more information in the French language version of this article but the soureces for that page no longer work and there isn't even a talk page :(

http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mondeberbere.com%2Fculture%2Fchafik%2Fportraithebdo.htm An article published in by Le Journal Hebdomadaire, a French-language moroccan intellectual magazine. This article is specifically a feature on M. Chafik. I'll probably have to dig a little deeper to see if it meets the neutrality standard of Wiki.

https://remmm.revues.org/6029 A scholarly article about the political struggle of pushing for a standard Berber writing system in Morocco. The article features a few sections about M. Chafik's key roll in its development.

http://anneemaghreb.revues.org/313#ftn19 A scholarly article about the Amazighe cultural movement. Features sections about M. Chafik and other references to him.

I found a citation for a work by M. Chafik but features forwards and postwards that I would like to read for possible information about him. However, google scholar just lists it as a citation and I don't know how to access it.

http://aan.mmsh.univ-aix.fr/Pdf/AAN-1991-30_46.pdf Features a small reference to M. Chafik with a citation to a group of short speeches given about him that I would really like to have access to but once again, I'm unsure about how to approach that. Perhaps the librarian would be able to offer assistance.

https://web.archive.org/web/20070611175236/http://www.telquel-online.com:80/181/sujet2.shtml An interview with M. Chafik but I'm not familiar with the source and its listed on a .com domain so I'm not totally sure about its authenticity but then again who would take the time to fake a complete interview?

Mohamed Chafik : l’homme de l’unanimité A book written about M. Chafik that I definitely need to get my hands on.

Berber name spelling only shows up as boxes, not characters Quaran spelling error? I think it should be Qur’an or Quran Klarahenry (talk) 18:50, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Editing suggestions

 * the Amazigh spelling of his name is different in the lead and the info box, which one is correct?
 * combine the first two sentences so you don't have to say "was born" twice in a row
 * translate the French quote ("la troisième de mes dimensions...") in parenthesis
 * the sentence which begins "before explicitly working for..." is clunky, and I don't think "explicitly" is the right word. Maybe something like "before committing his work the Amazigh cause..." would be better, but I don't think it's necessary at all
 * also "he specifically worked as a teacher for the cause of educating girls, specifically those in rural areas" is very vague. I'm not sure exactly what he did for rural girls, but something like "He worked as a teacher, focusing on the education of girls in rural areas" would be better, perhaps expanded with more specific information
 * the accent on "Collège" should be grave
 * how did he find a middle ground between Arab-nationalists and Islamists? I think you tried to explain it in the next few sentences, but it's a bit confusing. Also, it should probably be a new paragraph
 * what is dahir? Is it a place (in which it should be capitalized) or something else? That sentence is confusing. Also, the institute's name should be capitalized
