Dhul-Qarnayn
Please read the links I've given you about sources. In fact, the source used for Dhul-Qarnayn and Alexander the Great says that Muslim commentators have identified with with Dhul-Qarnayn, which isn't what the article says - yet. When there is a source you should never change the meaning of the sourced text for obvious reasons, but it can be worthwhile ensuring that the source is represented properly, which is wasn't in this case - possibly because an editor changed the text without reading the source.
