old data

Looking on Status of Women I read about women not going to school, but the world bank says there is a 97% enrolment in 2018. Those that finish primary school is 94%. So I don't know how boys can be 28 times more presented than girls?

@Hero7373: You need to make up your mind: either the statement is about culture or ethnicity; and please, refrain from edit warring.

The context is clearly to do with ethnicity this contradicts your earlier statement “Arabised” is in reference to culture, not ethnicity..

You clearly also don’t understand what Arabised even means enlighten me. M.Bitton (talk) 20:43, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s clear to me you have a problem reading or understanding basic words. The context is about ethnicity, that most Moroccans are indigenous Berbers (Berbers are an ETHNICITY), many of which (not all) are “Arabised” (a term used for people who are “culturally Arab”, but are NOT ethnically Arab). I’ve made my point. Not going to repeat myself. Hero7373 (talk) 21:21, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is clear to you is obviously your problem.

“culturally Arab”, but are NOT ethnically Arab what is the difference between the two? M.Bitton (talk) 21:32, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Moors" in infobox

Belated follow up on this & this. Courtesy ping to @Ibrahim Alkaseer and @Skitash.

The word "Moors" in English is an old exonym that can refer to roughly any or all North Africans, Andalusis, etc (a bit like Saracens referring to Arabs and/or Muslims). Its use here is confusing. The word is linked to Beidane; assuming this is correct, then per MOS:EASTEREGG it's preferable to just use that term. Any WP:COMMONNAME issues might be better discussed at that article. The cited source, Britannica, uses the term "Mauritanian Moors", which would be fine too. I've seen both used in current news/documents. R Prazeres (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, and I agree. Skitash (talk) 21:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vital statistics table

How can TFR stay about the same if births declined by about 100k from 2022 to 2023? Chaptagai (talk) 06:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and ethnic statistics pt. 2

Hi @Skitash, may you please justify your revert further? I was under the impression that the RfC chose to remove ethnic statistics due to the lack of data, making it too nuanced to merely present as unadulterated fact on the infobox. NAADAAN (talk) 21:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This RfC you're talking about is clearly about the infobox country template in Morocco. You initiated the RfC there with the following question: "Should the "ethnic groups" parameter on the infobox be ommited in favor of the "national languages" parameter which is already present?". Skitash (talk) 21:16, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please tell me, in your own words, what issue led to the RfC concluding with the parameter being omitted and how that issue doesn't also apply here? Because otherwise this seems just like you're playing with semantics, infoboxes are infoboxes and hold the same value regardless. Personally, I'd rather avoid status-quo stonewalling without having to seek consensus through RfCs over the same issue being different because a different template was used.
