Aladdin
Please read the article - and then have a look at the talk page. The original (French) version of the story starts by setting itself in 'one of the cities in China'. So that is where it is unambiguously set (we have a section of "setting" later in the article that makes this clear. No remark about the Arabic version of the Thousand and one nights is applicable to Aladdin, as it strictly not part of the "Nights" at all. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 18:07, 11 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Aladdin is a character in a fairy story - he never "lived" at all - not in Baghdad, Aleppo, Paris, Peking, or even Soho. (Or, for that matter, in Aghraba.) The story actually says one of the cities of China - but there are problems with that - some of which you mention. Actually the best bet is that the tale is set in fairyland.
 * It (the story) has only a very tenuous connection with the Thousand and one nights at all - it was added to the collection by a French translator/editor of the collection who wanted a few more tales to add to the Arabic text
 * The part of the article you want to edit is called the "lead" (or "lede") - it is a little summary that comes at the beginning in case you don't want to wade through the full article. The questions you raise are very fully treated in the body of the article itself.

If you still want to add your edit - the drill at this stage is to go to the talk page - plase! --Soundofmusicals (talk) 19:08, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
