March 2024[edit]

@NAADAAN: you keep mentioning the constitution, but without citing it. Is there a reason for that? M.Bitton (talk) 20:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believed that citing different translations of the constitution was redundant, I believed that in this case -- giving a citation edit summary would be enough. Here is the official Tamazight translation of the constitution made by the IRCAM as was commanded under a 2019 law, I cited it previously in some of my edit summaries. You can see that "Kingdom of Morocco" is translated as "ⵜⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ" and that "God, Homeland, King" is translated as "ⵕⴱⴱⵉ, ⴰⵎⵓⵔ, ⴰⴳⵍⵍⵉⴷ" and that is the terminology used by the government. I have no idea why it's ommited. NAADAAN (talk) 20:49, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not redundant when it's disputed. It was removed by Snowstormfigorion who cited unsourced transcription and transliteration as an explanation. The source that you provided (I haven't checked it) should satisfy the transcription. Adding it will also prevent editors from fiddling with it, as is often the case with unsourced and badly sourced tifinagh words. Since the transliteration has also been challenged, finding a RS for it wouldn't be a bad idea. M.Bitton (talk) 14:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a government source is good enough, I will indeed cite it now. NAADAAN (talk) 17:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have set the transliteration issue across other articles NAADAAN (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean the transcription, then I suggest you take certain precautions while doing so. This addition, for instance, is anachronistic. M.Bitton (talk) 18:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move "French" to "Foreign languages" in the sidebar.

It makes absolutely no sense to have English and Spanish in foreign languages but not French. It is just as foreign as these two languages and isn't widely spoken by the population. Kurdish Elf (talk) 05:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Country area[edit]

Why was Western Sahara removed? Way to offend an entire country... 2A02:908:820:AB00:90A8:2BEC:BC83:B14B (talk) 04:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Western Sahara status[edit]

Please to change the following statement: "Part of the territory, the Free Zone, is a mostly uninhabited area that the Polisario Front controls as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Its administrative headquarters are located in Tindouf, Algeria. As of 2006^[update], no UN member state had recognised Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara."

By this correction: Part of the territory, Demilitarized Zone, is a mostly uninhabited area controled by Morocco's Air Defense (Permanent drones surveyance) and the UN mission MINURSO. At least 22 member states of the United Nations had recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, and are holding a diplomatic representation in the Moroccan Western Sahara province tied to their Moroccan embassies in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. 149.117.79.69 (talk) 15:07, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: your claims are contradicted by the cited RS in the WS article. M.Bitton (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
