Again, welcome! CAPTAIN MEDUSA (talk) 10:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear CAPTAIN MEDUSA, thanks a lot for your friendly welcome, - and the picture!

Yes, I have tried to find my way around writing my first article in English, but thanks anyway for your helpful links. I plan on writing mainly for the German wp on cultural subjects, but whenever I consult any articles in en, I try to add some useful information. Being multilingual gives you different views of the world and its representation by language! Munfarid1 (talk) 12:40, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

culture in Africa

Thank you for quality articles about culture in Sudan, such as Sudanese literature and Music of Sudan, in Morocco, such as Driss El Maloumi, for Makonde art, Damascus Opera House and much more from places where you lived, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2553 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Gerda Arendt:Wow, I am more than pleased about your recognition. - Knowing a bit about your amazing support for Wikipedians and your interests (in music, literature and other traditional fields of Culture (sic!), this means a lot. - Generally, I do enjoy following up my experience of African or Arabic cultures that I have acquired over the years. - Meeting people from various cultural backgrounds, trying to understand and appreciate their artistic or intellectual activities has been very enriching. And through wp, I can now do research and share my interests with others. - I have a feeling, this applies to you, too? Viele Grüße Munfarid1 (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Munfarid1, I read them with interest after seeing the DYK link today. I really knew nothing about Sudan's culture, so between the lot of them, I learned a ton. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Munfarid1: I'd really like to pass the nomination for Rashid Mahdi, as I think it's a nice article. The only thing that's missing is a QPQ – that is, you need to review someone else's DYK nomination. (Once you've had five articles appear on the main page, that's a requirement, and you've now had 8.) The directions on how to do it are WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide. Please feel free to ping me if you have any questions! MeegsC (talk) 17:53, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @MeegsC:, thanks for this. I was very busy last week, but will do the review this weekend. Will ping you, when it's done. Munfarid1 (talk) 18:48, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @MeegsC: I have almost finished my first review, but there is one question I am not sure about: Could you perhaps have a look at this and tell me and the nominating user, if it is okay? - He has not put a pagename in bold, as it is usual. Thanks for your help! Munfarid1 (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cwmhiraeth, can you take a look at the article that Munfarid is reviewing and let us know what you suggest? I'm not sure how to fix it! Thanks, MeegsC (talk) 21:51, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@MeegsC: I have added a sentence to the article lead with a bold title, which I think should suffice. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:21, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Munfarid, I noticed that you edited the Shaiqiya page and replaced every single "tribe" with "ethnic group". I know that "tribe" isn't well liked among many africanists, but I am fairly certain that the Shaiqiya are not to be defined as an ethnic group like "Arab" or "Nubian", but indeed as a tribe in the Arabic sense, the qabaliyya. By that definition, they are a branch of the larger Ja'alin tribe, the largest of the sedentary Sudanese "Arab" tribes. Let me know what you think. LeGabrie (talk) 13:10, 6 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello LeGabrie, thanks for your comment, which I appreciate. While you are certainly right about the relation of Shaiqiya to Ja'alin and the sendentary Sudanese "Arabs", I share a reservation voiced by some anthropologists towards the term "tribe" in contemporary Africa. My reservation also relates to notions such as "tribal customs, warfare" etc. as mentioned for example in the article on tribe. Second, and as far as I can see, all WP articles referring to Sudanese tribes bear the specification (ethnic group) in their title, and this is another reason why I have changed the word "tribe" in this article to "ethnic group".

I am, of course, aware of the fact that both "tribe" and "ethnic group" are not always defined in a clear-cut way in social anthropology. Also, I know about the Sudanese usually referring to their ethnic or tribal background as qabaliyya, but this way of thinking is also being refused by modern Sudanese, who see themselves more as citizens of a modern society, and would like to leave tribal stereotypes behind.

The question you ask, is of course, which of the two terms is correct and in line with other WP articles, and I must confess that other than the reasons mentioned above, I am not sure, if there is a clear-cut answer. Let me know what you think, - and BTW, I see that we share some common interests relating to Sudan (e.g. I used some information on the Throne Hall of Dongola for my article Architecture of Sudan) and would certainly appreciate any further exchange of ideas to improve articles on cultural aspects of Sudan or East Africa. Munfarid1 (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Back when I used to study African studies I also had some reservations about using the term "tribe", especially in an African context. In any case, I feel that it is appropriate to label the Shaiqiya, Ja'alin, Danagla, Rufa'a and so on as such, simply because their identity is so heavily based on their supposed Arab genealogies (even if slowly abandoned by modern Sudanese).

Concerning my interest in Sudan, I am not as active on Wikipedia as I used to be, but I can certainly share material with you if you want. PS: Ich kann auch Deutsch :) LeGabrie (talk) 18:41, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I don't feel strongly about using "tribe" in an article like this, even though I wonder why all titles of articles about Sudanese ethnic groups have been labelled as such. If you want, you can go ahead and replace this term. Prompted by our discussion, however, I found this page, which discourages the use of "tribe" in favour of "ethnic group". Apart from the infobox for tribes, there is also a template for an infobox on ethnic groups. Maybe you want to make it even clearer in the article, how the Shaigiya, Ja'alin are referring to themselves in Arabic as "tribes" and not as larger ethnic groups?

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jewellery of the Berber cultures you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

GA reviewers handle things variously; I'd be glad if you could write a short note under each of my comments when you feel you've addressed it, even if as short as "* Done" or whatever. If I'm content I'll just leave the item, if not I'll reply further. It makes keeping track easier. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I wanted to let you know that I have translated this article in French, thanks for covering this interesting topic! Moumou82 (talk) 21:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Moumou82 (talk) thanks for your message and the interest you have shown for this article. I am very glad that it is now available in French for anybody in the Francophone world, and especially for North Africans! I also see that you have had access to the original French sources and you have quoted them correctly. :) - And have you thought of nominating your version for the section "Le saviez-vous ?" - Yesterday, I also added a sentence and bluelink about Amina Agueznay in the section "Modern changes", which you might like to include.

BTW, I currently live in Paris, and often work at the excellent library of the Musée du quai Branly, where I found most of the books. Maybe you are also interested in my article on Jean Besancenot, which you could consult to enlarge the existing one in French, too. - If you would like to exchange any information, sources etc on these topics, I would be happy to get in touch again. And BTW, the book by Gargouri-Sethom about Tunisian jewellery is very good. - Best regards, Munfarid1 (talk) 22:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for your reply, I have updated the translated article with your latest updates. I am interested with Tunisian topics specifically, or broader North African topics such as this one, so feel free to ping me in the future if you have one that might be good to translate to French.

Munfarid1, the Sudan women's national football team article is currently undergoing a GA reassessment, which can be found at Talk:Sudan women's national football team/GA3.

On 12 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article National Jewellery Museum (Morocco), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that King Mohammed VI of Morocco donated part of his royal collection to the new National Jewellery Museum? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/National Jewellery Museum (Morocco). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, National Jewellery Museum (Morocco)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
