Talk:Republic of the Rif

Question
Riff or Rif? --Oldak Quill 19:52, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't know, but I've created Republic of the Rif as a redirect here. Google has lots more hits for "Republic of the Riff"... but they're all Wikipedia mirrors. --rbrwr&plusmn; 17:38, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * If you add "-wikipedia" to the search terms then "Rif" wins hands down. But I don't know how to reverse the redirect. 19 Aug 2005

 * It is decidedly "Rif" - "Riff" would be an entirely different (non-existant) word in Arabic. Any transliterations that use a double-f are archaic and also misleading.  This is also quite the stub, perhaps it should be marked as such. The Frog 21:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Neither one thing nor the other. We Rifians call our homeland Arif, which has nothing to do with the Arabic term Rif. 2A0C:5A82:2203:F900:40DF:7091:7329:9155 (talk) 17:38, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Rif and the Alaouite dinasty
It would be interesting to mention in the article the relationship between the Rif republic and the Alaouite kingdom of Morocco, which I suspect were not friendly, if not opposed itself. Mountolive 05:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Current value
If I had £1 Sterling note in 1925, I could obtain myself 24 of these 1 riff banknotes. Despite the collapse of the Rif Republic, these 24 banknotes could with some ease fetch me USD 1200,00. Does the increased value come from the mis-spelling on the banknotes, or is it something else?

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:47, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
