thread_title:  Octogonal minaret 

message: I have found a number of articles from old newspapers that have spelled the town's name as "Sheshaun" or "Sheshuan". The articles are from the 1920s during the Rif War, so military movements were frequently reported. I'm sure that Sheshaun is definitely meant to be Chefchaouen (or at least Chaouen), as the facts in these articles match up with other facts about the town, such as the distance from Tetouan, the year it was established and the policy of no foreigners (see this article in particular: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/66655036).
After doing some more research, I have found that it is also spelled as Xaüen, Xauen, Chaouen, Shawan, Chauen, Chefchaouence and Chechaouene (Found in this reference link from the Rif War wiki page and attributed to "Woolman, 1968").
Would it be worth adding at least a few of these alternate spellings to the article, so that users could do additional searches based on them?

message: The subject of why the city is painted blue needs to be edited for clarity, because while there might be a theory that Jewish people introduced the color to Chefchaouen in the 1930s, the fact is that the distinctive blue walls of the city predate that era by several centuries.  This doesn't explain *why* the walls are painted blue, of course, but the theory itself is demonstrably inaccurate and should not be presented as if it is unproven but viable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.132 (talk) 15:19, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

message: I think there is mix-up here. In the "History"-Section it is said that Charles Sweeney bombed Chefchaouen in 1925 and the article about the man who bombed Nagasaki is linked. But according to the article he was only 6 years old in 1925. Could someone clear this up?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CB:8740:2E99:2C60:310D:F553:638B (talk) 19:39, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

message: The Geography section (aside from the first sentence of subsection Location) and the Demographics section deal entirely with the province, not the city. The Economic activities section is also largely about the province. These should be split to the article Chefchaouen Province which is small and has plenty of room for expansion. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:33, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Support. Good idea. We can even leave a "see also" header template at the top of the Geography section afterwards that links to Chefchaouen Province, if helpful. R Prazeres (talk) 23:03, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: I've gone ahead and added the municipal population of the city from the 2014 census to the demographics section. I've also added the provincial population (with citation) to the Chefchaouen Province article, but I haven't removed it from this article. I'll let others delete it.

text: Having a look at this again after all this time, so I'm going to go ahead and transfer to Chefchaouen Province everything in the geography and economy sections that's talking about the province instead of the city. If any problems arise, feel free to further discuss here. R Prazeres (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Transfer generally complete. Some of the content I left here is still technically talking about the province, but seems reasonably relevant enough to be retained; for example, since it's the only major city in the province, some of the economic info still mostly concerns Chefchaouen city. Some further revisions to the content itself might help. R Prazeres (talk) 19:43, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
