# Talk:Urwa ibn al-Zubayr

Hello 156.196.169.59, I'm not sure whether I understand the rationale given in your edits [1][2] changing "modern historians" to "modern Western Historians", but even if only Western historians "have debated the authenticity of the Urwa corpus of traditions" (which I think is a questionable statement), I don't see why it would be relevant to mention that in this context? What difference does it make, in this particular context, whether the historians doing the research are 'Western' or not? ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 15:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Obviously "modern historians" means those who publish WP:RS. It is irrelevant if they are "Western" or "Eastern" or Martian. If it is only what the IP calls "Westerns" that publish stuff on this subject that meets our RS requirements, then Western = modern. I'm going to restore modern. If the IP wishes to change that, they will have to show "Eastern" RS which differ from the "Western" RS on the matter. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 17:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
