The historical text should be recast using modern sources which differentiate between the state of research in the mid 19th century and today. Haphasard source selection results in a skewed text. See e.g. D.T. Potts Arabian Gulf in Antiquity, 1990. Azd0815 (talk) 03:55, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Could someone add a note to indicate where the stress falls in "Muscat", as I think the correct stress is on the first syllabble (MUScat), but many people like to put the stress on the second (musCAT). Could someone clarify this please.
*To my ear, native pronunciation of Musqat has a very slightly greater emphasis upon the second syllable.  However, as is the case in many languages including Arabic it is common for no single syllable to be stressed more than any other in a given word.

replies: text: Who wrote the IPA transcription of Muscat? I am curious, because it does not match the Arabic spelling of the name - unless the (Classical) Arabic spelling (which I would have assumed would be pronounced [mʌsqʌtʕ]) is not faithful to the local pronunciation of the name in Oman. --SameerKhan 07:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The map coordinates listed, 21°00′N 57°00′E﻿, are wrong, as these are well into the central interior of Oman.  Furthermore the Tropic of Cancer, at 23° 26′ 22″ N, would pass north of these stated coordinates.
Based on what I can deduce from Google Earth, the coordinates of Muscat should be about 23° 35′ N 58° 30′ E, with the Tropic of Cancer running through the urban area.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.138.251.66 (talk) 14:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Geography 

message: The article talks mostly about Muscat Governorate, the metropolitan area referred to officially as Muscat city http://www.omantourism.gov.om/wps/portal/mot/tourism/oman/home/sultanate/regions/muscat/!ut/p/a1/hc_LDoIwEAXQb3HBlg4ij7iriIo8tRqxG4MGKwlQUlB-32rcmPiY3Z2cm8wgilJE6-xWsKwreJ2Vj0zNgxnNgsSdahDbGoBH7NAkxNEhNiTYSwBfBsO__g7RJ3HmeDGyAtmZ-A54vrvyN3qoAdZeIF6vyCxyRzCfGhIQK9puDRdgqL_AjxuWiLKSH5__7HF91G2GqMjPuciFehVyfem6ph0roEDf9yrjnJW5euKVAp8qF952KH2XqKlSKJJqZ7d4cAd9PYlf/dl5/d5/L2dJQSEvUUt3QS80SmlFL1o2X09SUVNGTkU0MDBLRzEwSTJHRVAxMVMxNVUx/. Muscat Municipality for example deals with the whole governoratehttp://www.mm.gov.om/Page.aspx?PAID=1#Details&MID=6&PGID=112. Muscat province is referred to officially as the Old Muscat City and does not contain any government buildings or ports. I suggest merging this article with the Muscat governorate article since it mostly talks about the latter, or moving everything to the latter article except the Etymology and History sections, which talk mostly, if not exclusively about the Old Muscat.
