Tripoli, Libya
Please at least rename the Page to "Tripoli, Libya" and leave the content inside as you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.32.203.5 (talk) 13:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Renaming this Page is affecting Facebook Places, and now everyone who uses Tripoli Libya as a place it is automatically changed to Tripoli Under Italian rule

Yeah please rename this page to " Tripoli, Libya" because it affects Facebook profile information and harms the people of Libya Madwill92 (talk) 18:49, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

It should be Tripoli, Libya only Kawthar87 (talk) 20:04, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Similar to Italian Benghazi & Benghazi
No need to merge with Tripoli, like Italian Benghazi is NOT MERGED with Benghazi. BTW it should be renamed Italian Tripoli or Tripoli italiana..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.80.127.245 (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Tripoli is the capital of free independent LIBYA, Tripoli is thousands years old it's not an Italian city the Italian accupied it during WWI and its name Tripoli, Libya is earned with blood and tears Libyanlibyan (talk) 10:49, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Tripoli is not under the Italian rule, it's free city and the capital of Libya. It used to be under Italian rule before the second war. But after that it has been liberated. So please can you fix this problem that Tripoli is not under Italian rule. Mohammed Almasbahi (talk) 12:49, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Read the article. It's about the period when Tripoli was under Italian rule. Nothing in the article says that it's under Italian rule today.Sjö (talk) 14:13, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

please change the name of the article from "Tripoli under Italian rule" to "Tripoli" because Tripoli is the name of the city. it is true that in the early 20 century Libya was under the Italian rule. However, the name of the country or its cities didn't change. Plus, the name Tripoli has been the city's name since it's been founded in BC era.

❌ The article about the city Tripoli hasn't been changed. This article is about the period of Italian rule.Sjö (talk) 14:11, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

May be fixed
As I understand it, the problem was caused by an editor moving Tripoli, Libya to the title of this article, leaving a redirect. See the history. The redirect has now been changed to Tripoli, so I think the problem has been fixed. Can someone confirm? —S MALL JIM   14:40, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think the redirect is fixed.TheScorpion021 (talk) 14:47, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Yes. I thought that might have been the only problem (causing issues with Facebook), but it seems that some are objecting to this title (see this edit, for example). I was hoping it would be OK to lift the page protection, but it seems as if there's still some talking to be done here before we can do that. (I'm not going to take part - not my area of interest). Pinging who did the move.  —S MALL  JIM   15:04, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I think that the person posting on your talk page didn't object to the title as much as objecting to what he thought was a description of the current state of affairs. I.e. they didn't read the article but maybe thought it was Tripoli that was changed. Sjö (talk) 07:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)


 * It still seems to be a problem. Googling "Tripoli under Italian rule" still brings up a lot of Facebook pages. I Wonder if (temporarily) moving Tripoli to Tripoli, Libya might fix the problem. The problems apparently started fifteen hours after the page move, so there seems to be some delay in Facebooks system. This might mean that anything that solves the problem takes some time to show effect. Sjö (talk) 07:12, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

before about 17 hours someone moved the article about Tripoli city to "Tripoli under the Italian rule" and that's simply not correct and since that happened the name of Tripoli on Facebook changed to Tripoli under Italian rule so please change that as soon as possible

Change the title
Due to the title of the article facebook has changed the name of Tripoli to 'Tripoli under italian rule' witch is the name of your article, please change the title to Tripoli Libya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marwa mansour (talk • contribs)


 * There is already an article about the city: Tripoli. If we moved this article, which is about the Italian era, to Tripoli, Libya it would be confusing for those that look for information about Tripoli today. I'm sure Facebook can fix this problem, without Wikipedia moving this article to Tripoly, Libya (a move that, incidentally, also would suggest that Tripoli today is under Italian rule to those that read the article).

In the news
The Arab-langauge 218TV has reported on Facebook's change of the place name:. Sjö (talk) 07:27, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

It has a wrong name, it should be "Tripoli" and not 'Tripoli under italian rule' which is the capital of the country libya

Alwerfallyly (talk) 08:51, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

❌ This article is not about the Libyan capital in general or today, there's a separate article called Tripoli. This article is about the period when Triplai was under Italian rule. The name for this article is correct and it shouldn't be renamed to just Tripoli or Tripoli, Libya since that's a name that should be used for a general article about Tripoli.

Creation by blocked user
According to Vituzzu, the content here (in the non-redirect version of the page) was created by blocked user Brunodam in violation of their block. Brunodam has both POV and neutrality issues and what Vituzzu referred to as "use in a "funny" way sources hard to check". I expect most editors who have restored content did so while assuming good faith; that assumption, regarding this content, does not seem warranted. I'd ask people not to restore that content unless they have checked it in detail both for neutrality and for representing the references accurately. Huon (talk) 14:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
