Herr Beethoven's removal of my improvement of the Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari article in Wikipedia (10 July 2012)
[edit]Dear Herr Beethoven: I don't understand who has empowered you to decide what is and what is not constructive in the Wikipedia al-Tabari article, and thence to control the contributions of others. For your information, present-day scholarship notes al-Tabari's conspicuous errors; by removing this fact, you are misleading the reader. Please retain my emendation to the article, or I will rectify the matter through Google. Sincerely, 74.162.153.99 (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC) Grisham Welles Monday, 10 July 2012
- What you wrote may very well be true. However, you need to cite your sources for anything that could be challenged. Otherwise we can't tell whether or not it is really true. Herr Beethoven (talk) 04:18, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
"Al-Tabari"
[edit]I thought that they say "At-Tabari", the L changed to a T because the next word starts with that consonant. You also see that with other letters, such as in these examples :
- As-salam, such as in the "As-salamu alaykum" greeting
- At-Tawbah, the 9th sūrah of the Qur'an,
- Ar-Ra'd, the 13th sūrah,
- An-Nahl, the 16th,
- As-Sajda, the 32nd,
- Az-Zumar, the 39th
- As-Safir, a former newspaper in Lebanon ; As-Safira, a city in Syria
- At-Tuwani, a Palestinian village
So "At-Tabari" should also appear in bold chars in the introductory sentence (perhaps replacing "Al-Tabari" altogether?). —Jerome Potts (talk) 09:35, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- See Sun and moon letters - it’s not as straightforward as when it’s followed by a consonant. But I don’t believe the spelling in Arabic changes anyway - it’s only the way it’s pronounced. As noted in that article the convention normally followed when transliterating a name of a person into Latin script is to maintain the Al. Google books gives 200k returns for “Al Tabari” and 90k returns for “At Tabari”. I would say it’s not necessary to give both versions - which (AFAIK) is the norm for articles with Arabic names on English WP. DeCausa (talk) 11:11, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for this explanation and pointer, which led me to Arabic definite article#The lām in al-.—Jerome Potts (talk) 04:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Recent edits have made me interested to read more about Al-Tabari. In reference 3, the following is mentioned: "None of those ancestors can be identified any further (although there seems to be an implication in some of the sources that Kaṯir b. Ḡāleb was a known personality), and about all that can be said about them is that they have Arabic names. However, Ṭabari is never known to have claimed or to have had attributed to him any tribal affiliation and is always called by his regional nesba. He certainly knew some Persian, and his history showed more than a passing interest in subjects concerning his homeland, but that proves little. When he was asked about his ancestry, he was deliberately vague and quoted a verse belittling the importance of such genealogies (Yāqut, Odabāʾ VI, p. 428; see Rosenthal, 1989, pp. 12-13 on the possible moralizing aspect of this anecdote). There is thus no way of knowing for certain whether Ṭabari’s family was native to the Āol region or perhaps arrived with the wave of Muslim colonists after the Abbasid revolution, either as converts or Arab settlers"
Isn't this source claiming the opposite of what is supposed to claim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moor919 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

- Moor919, depends on what you want it to claim, I suppose? ;-) There are two sources given for the claim in the article that at-Tabari was of "either Persian or Arab origin"; reference 4 rather clearly describes him as being "Persian by origin", meaning that really, all that we could expect reference 3 to add to the sentence is the "Arab" part, which is indeed mentioned at the end of your quote. Personally, I feel that the relegation of "Arab settlers" to the end of the paragraph implies that there was a rather remote chance that this was the case, and I don't see why it is being given equal weight to the more logical idea, also supported by sources (including this very one), that he was of some sort of Iranian ethnicity, but consensus appears to be against me here. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 13:25, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- I checked the two sources for ethnicity and [3] states "Iranian" whereas [4] states "Persian". Where in there does it state any possibility of him being an Arab by origin, exactly? --Qahramani44 (talk) 01:14, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Qahramani44: um, had you actually read the thread to which you were replying, you would have known that one of the sources clearly says
Ṭabari’s family ... perhaps arrived with the wave of Muslim colonists after the Abbasid revolution, ... as ... Arab settlers
. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 02:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC) - See also Rosenthal's introduction (pp. 12-13):
Tabari himself discouraged speculation about his ancestry. When he was asked ... he replied by quoting a verse in which the famous Umayyad poet deprecated pride in one's pedigree.

- It is important to emphasize that the disagreement here is not about whether it was mentioned before that he was of Persian ancestry. It is about this claim being disputed in secondary sources. It seems ambiguity always existed precisely because of how Altabari wished to be viewed by others. The current writing of the article simply doesn't convey this ambiguity although it was mentioned in the references included in this very article. I believe my way of writing does make it clear. Moor9119 (talk) 16:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Now I'm confused. How does

fail to "convey this ambiguity", as opposed to a definitive "Persian"? M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 20:40, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

- No, this works fine. What I meant to say is calling him Persian only doesn't convey the ambiguity. Moor9119 (talk) 11:19, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Deducing from this sentence : "Ṭabari’s family ... perhaps arrived with the wave of Muslim colonists after the Abbasid revolution, ... as ... Arab settlers" that Tabari was perhaps an Arab sounds WP:OR in my humble opinion, since someone can have Arab ancestors without being an Arab, especially when the sources explicitly support a Persian ethnicity. In other words, the only uncertainty here is about Tabari's origins, not about his ethnicity.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Wikaviani: I find your statement about how ancestry is not necessarily linked to ethnicity to be interesting. It is new to me to be honest. I also would like to add to this discussion the following quote from the Encyclopedia of Islam that @M.Bitton: added as an answer to my question to him on his talk page. The quote reads: "whether the family was of indigenous stock or descended from Arab colonists in Tabaristan is unknown." In addition, there is a part of the quote included at the beginning of this discussion that reads: "He certainly knew some Persian". The point I am trying to make is that it can't be that the sources support without any doubt that he was an ethnic Persian as you mentioned if all of the above (him being possibly a descendant of Arabs and him not necessarily being fluent in Persian) is being written about Al-Tabari. Plus, the sources never actually discuss his ethnicity and conclude that he was Persian. This is not as strong as one might understand from your statement because Persian and Iranian have been frequently used interchangeably in many secondary sources. But, I guess maybe others here can see things differently from me. Let's hope some people add their opinions to this discussion. Moor9119 (talk) 17:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
I find your statement about how ancestry is not necessarily linked to ethnicity to be interesting
: I mean, it's worth noting that per DNA testing, I'm of at least partial Dagestani (or possibly Azerbaijani, Talysh, etc.) ancestry, yet that doesn't make me ethnically Caucasian (I'm as Punjabi as it gets). M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 18:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)- I understand your point. But does that mean you are in favor of listening to how people define their own ethnicity or in favor of using an objective set of measures? Either way, in the case of Al-Tabari, it is clear he was purposely ambiguous about it and that he didn't exhibit clear signs of being of one ethnicity. Otherwise, why would this discussion continue to be a thing he avoids talking about? Moor9119 (talk) 18:59, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Do we have reliable sources supporting that Al-Tabari was an ethnic Arab ? As i said above, it looks to me that the only uncertainty is about his origins, not about his ethnicity (both cited sources say that he was a Persian). If there is no reliable sources explicitly supporting an Arab ethnicity, then "Arab" should be removed, as per WP:OR.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 21:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Moving his origin/background from the lead section to Biography
[edit]I think this is a similar case like Al-Farabi. Removing ethnicity from the lead and expanding the Biography would be a good solution. Wario-Man talk 06:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- I personally disagree. I think the way it is written now is clear and in accordance with what is stated in the sources provided. It is clear that whomever provided the sources originally never actually read carefully through them and I have yet to see any strong arguments against the way it is written now. The recent edits were all based on personal knowledge. Moor9119 (talk) 13:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's not about being well-writen or well-sourced. The lead section is a summary of the whole article. When some stuff are uncertain/disputed or there is no consensus in the references and scholars' works, we better move those stuff to the body of article and expand/clarify the relevant section(s). Since I never really involved myself in contributing to this article, I ping other editors who are involved in the recent edits on this article. @HistoryofIran, Kansas Bear, and LouisAragon: Your thoughts? Wario-Man talk 06:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with Wario-Man. Per WP:LEAD, whether he’s of Arab or Persian ethnic origin is important why? There seems to be some editors exercised by that debate but it appears to me (at least) to be an esoteric rabbit hole of little interest, and certainly not enough for the lead. The fact that he’s Iranian is good enough there. Discussion on his deeper family origins is better suited for the main body of the article. And Moor9119, whether it’s well written and well sourced is not the question. It’s where in the article those well-written well sourced words should appear in order to comply with WP:LEAD. DeCausa (talk) 10:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think it helps in explaining "Iranian", which can be misconstrued as an ethnic claim. Al-Farabi doesn't have that problem. Wiqi(55) 12:22, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- MOS:ETHNICITY: “ Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.” Don’t think it is in this case.DeCausa (talk) 14:36, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Agreed. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 14:57, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- MOS:ETHNICITY also applies to "Iranian", so we should get rid of that too, right? We already have "from Amol, Tabaristan (modern Mazandaran Province of Iran)" which is factual and doesn't imply any ethnic connotations. Wiqi(55) 15:44, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Iranian" is a national identification (not an ethnic identifier), but as it's a modern country, I don't see any issue with removing this. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 15:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with DeCausa.--Kansas Bear (talk) 15:58, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Symmachus Auxiliarus, Iranian can most certainly be an ethnic designator as well, and that meaning is certainly the first one that comes to my mind when used in pre-modern contexts. In fact, if we are to treat it as a nationality in this context, that raises a plethora of questions about many Central Asian figures (just to give one example, consider Imam Bukhari: would we list him as an ethnic Tajik or an Uzbek by nationality? Neither: he's "Persian" for our purposes). Eliminating mention of Iran almost entirely also smells suspiciously of the usual Arab-washing of Islamic history.

- To be honest, I don't understand why whether he was Persian or Arab is important either. I have found all of this to be a good exercise in learning about the rules of Wikipedia and also in learning about how western scholars view Islamic history. Certainly, ethnicity seems to be overly emphasized on Wikipedia which makes the existence of MOS:ETHNICITY a little confusing to me. I guess this is because personally I have always understood that notability of important figures in early Islamic history almost always stems from how that person was involved with someone with authority like some governor or some school, rather than with some united ethnic (or national) group. But, I guess I have to keep navigating around to make more sense of English Wikipedia articles. Moor9119 (talk) 23:42, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

- @M Imtiaz: Also, there is no such thing such thing as the 'usual Arab washing.' If people choose to read Islamic history away from ethnic considerations when ethnic backgrounds didn't dictate what happened, and it so happened that the people being studied used only Arabic in their writings and had Arabic names, that doesn't mean Arabs now are trying hard to 'Arab-wash' the history of Islam. This is simply false. Moor9119 (talk) 00:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- You're entitled to your opinion. I think it's pretty obvious why people are trying to rebrand the Muslim Golden Age as the "Arab Golden Age", and why people have been spreading the lie for centuries that Iran never truly accepted Islam because they couldn't tolerate Arab domination, etc. There's a difference between simply using Arabic names and actively denying that non-Arabs ever contributed to Islam, and I run into the latter on a near-daily basis.

- @M Imtiaz: Feel free to correct people when they state something which is wrong. No need to make such general statements. Unless you are into history, you are bound to think of every muslim as Arab. It is hard to make the distinction without serious study to be honest. Nothing being organized here to deny anyone anything. Moor9119 (talk) 00:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Unless you are into history, you are bound to think of every muslim as Arab. It is hard to make the distinction without serious study to be honest.
Um, what? Either you worded that poorly or you are terribly, terribly wrong. Over 80 percent of Muslims today are non-Arab. Knowing that doesn't require any knowledge of history at all, and yet I run into Arabs all the time who are unable to wrap their head around the fact that I'm proudly Muslim yet have zero interest in belonging to their ethnicity or culture. This is exactly the problem: somehow they seem incapable of imagining how little of a connection there is between their ethnic identity and the religion that they happen to follow, and so we are gaslighted and denied us our importance in the ummah through dogwhistles like "history" and "[requires] serious study" (compare, for example, my local Muslim Student Association, which said Persia and Central Asia would be "too advanced" of a topic for a talk but had no qualms covering the openly Arab supremacist Umayyads; coincidence? I think not). Also, want to declare your alternative account? M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 00:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Athari?
[edit]Is Tabari really an Athari? Do these theological schools even exist during Tabari's life-time? Somewhere in the article, Tabari appears to be distinguished by Hanbalites (Atharis?) for his "heretic" beliefs.

Recent changes
[edit]@Shafin10555: some of the changes you made in this revision:
Good:
- Deleting "Iranian" from short description
- Deleting "polymath" from occupations
- Deleting "seventh-century": obvious mistake; however, it should've been changed to the correct form, not removed.
- Changing "Qur’ān" to "Quran"
Mistakes:
- Changing "traditionist" to "traditionalist": two separate words; traditionist is a translation of muhaddith and traditionalist is a translation of Athari.
- Deleting details such as "Sunni"
- Deleting legitimate occupations: four or five isn't "too many"; there are several articles that already list more than that. Al-Tabari is well-known for his theology and jurisprudence and was active in those fields, so I see no reason it should be failed to mentioned as his occupation.
- Deleting links in the introduction: why? Every single article has these linked in this place.
- Replacing Arabic/Islamic links with general ones: again, why? Al-Tabari literally worked in those exact fields and we have articles for them. I don't see why we should get rid of it and link to a general article.
- Changing the definite article -al to always be capitalized: read WP:Manual of Style/Arabic.
- Changing the name of Qur'an Tabari.jpg: wrecked the image.
- Removing quotation around a source: direct copy of the source and not paraphrased, so it must have quotations.
- Adding romanization of books in introduction: unneeded clutter and against Wikipedia's style; again, see the MOS.
Overall, this isn't an improvement; yet, now you've reverted to an older version with no explanation. Yasinzayd (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
