Talk:Cyrenaica

message: The article "Pentapolis" is a verbatim copy of most sections of the "Cyrenaica" article, and provides no new or specific information on the Pentapolis itself. As such, it is redundant. If no objection is noted or significant material added to the Pentapolis page, I'll turn it into a redirect page. Cplakidas 23:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger 1

message: I suggest moving the content from Barqah into this article and making Barqah redirect here. The material, much of which is already here, would fit nicely in the Islam section, and wouldn't make this article much longer. In other words, merger would heal an unnecessary content forking. --Bejnar (talk) 21:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Most of the article at Barqah is, in any case, contained here.  Effectively we have two articles for the same place using alternate names as their headings.  About time it was sorted out.  Skinsmoke (talk) 06:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree.  The current Barqah article is an unsourced duplication of a small part of the Cyrenaica article.  —  AjaxSmack  01:25, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Newly created page with text brought from the original page Barka which used to include info on both a region in Libya PLUS a town in Oman (two topics oddly sharing one page). The names of the twon and region spell and mean differently in Arabic. "Barka" was supposed to be a transliteration for both. But because the transliteration spelling is right for the Omani twon ( بركاء‎ ) and not so right for the Libyan region ( برقه ), I created a new Barqah page for the Libyan region with a most accurate transliteration spelling (Barqah). Now the page Barka includes only info about the Omani twon. Remarks on top of the page Barka and Barka (disambiguation) can be introduced, so as to give a link to this newly created page for whoever is looking for the Libyan region using the old wrong spelling (Barka). For easy-reference purposes, I intentionally kept the first version of this article identical to the original relevant text taken from "Barka", making my changes immediately after that in the 2nd version.

message: What was the main language of Cyrenaica before Arabic? Did they speak Greek, or perhaps Coptic? --74.220.50.16 (talk) 03:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The predominant underlying culture and language was Berber. But you have various groups coming to the coastal areas over time, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, and farmers from the upper Nile. --Bejnar (talk) 17:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Language?

message: Can somebody post an functional infobox into the article? There are some technical difficulties with existing one. PANONIAN 11:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Infobox

message: To put a sentence like "self-declared autonomous region" and Al-Bayda as its capital is kind of exaggeration that harms Wikipedia's credibility!!! I'm a Libyan citizen living in Benghazi, and often travel to Al-Bayda, and I noticed no sign represents the authority of the so-called "Political Bureau of the Cyrenaica region", that is, it's not only not recognized by the Tripoli government, but they are not even de-facto rulers of Cyrenaica!!!--Maher27777 (talk) 14:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "self-declared autonomous region" 

message: This article states that Bayda is the capital of Cyrenaica.
The article on Bayda does not mention that fact, if it is a fact.
The article on Benghazi says that Benghazi is the capital of Cyrenaica.
Is there any consensus? Is there an actual Cyrenaican government of which either Benghazi or Bayda is the capital, and if so, which?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify. --Potosino (talk) 15:27, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not the capital. That information is because of the insistence of User:ليبي صح.Maher27777 (talk) 04:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

text: I mean it is not a capital of a recognized body..that is, any subdivision recognized by central government. "The Cyrenaica Region Bureau" is not even the de facto ruler of Cyrenaica..you can come to Al Bayda and see by yourself!!!--Maher27777 (talk) 15:57, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capital? 

message: The scope of the page seems to have concentrated on the geographic region of Cyrenaica, but at some point someone added an infobox of the Cyrenaica Autonomy, which was briefly declared during the Libyan crisis, but has never become a reality, with the region becoming de-facto seat of power of one of the rival Libyan governments. I don't mind to create an article about the self-proclaimed autonomy, but putting the infobox here is confusing.GreyShark (dibra) 16:52, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: What about altering the infobox to just be about the geographic region? Much of the information (population, density, etc.) is still relevant to a region. Dunditschia (talk) 20:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
