[edit]I hope someone can check the Guerin-cite. Presently it is mostly the result of translate.google.com: not really good enough, Huldra (talk) 23:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Arab name
[edit]Localiban here gives as Arab name for Chamaa: شاما
Searching for that on ar.wp, I found this: http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/شاما
I have asked them to be merged on wikidata, but shouldn't that spelling also be in this article? Huldra (talk) 21:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you once again! My wife (whose Arabic is MUCH better than mine) has a colleague from Chamaa, so she checked and corrected her earlier version. RomanDeckert (talk) 09:07, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- User:RomanDeckert, User:Julia Joerin: I don't speak/read Arabic, but I notice that the name in Arabic still does not look like the name given in localiban? Huldra (talk) 21:05, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Huldra, contacting Localiban didn't work unfortunately... They might not be active anymore; last publication from 2017. In the http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/شاما article with code Q12218200, I wasn't able to correct the spelling either. There are, however, these articles in Arabic in which the spelling is correct: http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/شمع_(صور) i.e. Chamaa (Tyre), and http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/قلعة_شمع, i.e. Chamaa Castle. The article http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/شاما should be merged into http://ar.wiki.x.io/wiki/شمع_(صور) Julia Joerin (talk) 21:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- P.S. In this article http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Chamaa, on the official info sign (picture under "Name"), "Chamaa Castle" is spelt قلعة شمع Julia Joerin (talk) 22:02, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- User:Julia Joerin, ok, thanks. I defer to your expertise ;) I have no idea as to how to edit ar.wp: perhaps raise the issue on their equivalent of WP:AN? (I assume you must be an admin, or something like that, in order to merge articles) Huldra (talk) 22:08, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
