Talk:Minarets of Al-Aqsa

Latest comment: 1 year ago by R Prazeres in topic Note about revisions


Title change

edit

I suggest that we change the title of the article to either "Minarets of Masjid al-Aqsa" or "Minarets of Haram al-Sharif". Although historically known as the Temple Mount, the current structure is actually a mosque complex. And the people adding the minaret structures were adding them to a mosque not the Temple Mount.

Minarets of the Temple MountMinarets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound – Opening this to discuss the comment above by Moughera in 2019. I created this article in 2016, but on reflection my choice of title does seem odd. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support The Minarets are the Minarets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, calling them minarets of the hill that mosque happens to be on is awkward and unnecessary. 2601:405:4400:9420:50B5:BD47:2846:F0B (talk) 22:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support, as above: they are there because of the Al-Aqsa Mosque; not the Temple mound, Huldra (talk) 23:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support. Yup, they're for the mosque so makes sense. R Prazeres (talk) 05:48, 29 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support This may be a sensitive issue, but at they are Muslim buildings we should refer to them by their Muslim title. PatGallacher (talk) 23:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Note about revisions

edit

Just a general note here that I've made some heavy revisions to some parts of the article ([1]). I initially meant to copy-edit language and style issues, but found numerous contradictions, unsourced details, misunderstandings of the sources, WP:OR that filled-in details that weren't in the sources, and so on. I've even revised the headings and general spelling of the names to reflect what most English sources use (per the sources consulted so far), rather than uncommon transliterations or unnecessary attempted translations. I tried tagging remaining issues relating to sources or citations, but there are probably other (hopefully minor) things that will need further clean-up.

It would have been too complicated to explain all these in my edit summaries, so if there are any follow-up questions, I would welcome them here. Cheers, R Prazeres (talk) 18:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
