thread_title: Color photos in 1909???

message: I tried to make the sentences flow a little better but in doing so I might have inadvertently altered some facts--there were some sections that were quite hard to follow, and i just ended up writing what I was *pretty sure* the author meant.  Please let me know if anything is wrong.  Thanks. Psp 05:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I do figure that there's a connection between the British name & the Arab title; but, I don't know how:

message: When did the meaning of the word change from "commander or leader" to a title of governors or rulers? How about Marwan I, for instance, who is called "governor" before he became Caliph in the wp-article? --Jonund (talk) 21:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "In addition to being a Hebrew name, Amir is also a common Muslim male name for both Arab and non-Arab Muslims"
its a Hebrew name, oh yes and by the way some Muslims use it. 
come on. Elie (talk) 23:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That was going to be my question.  We are told throughout the article that amir has Arabic roots, and this lone statement comes out of left field claiming Hebrew roots?  Clearly there is a distinguishment between Arabic and Islam, maybe that is what they meant?  I will change it if no one minds? 146.235.66.52 (talk) 15:50, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The page uses the word "prince" as the closest translation for "emir" but a prince, in common parlance, is the name for the son of a king, who will eventually succeed his father as king.  I'm just curious why the proper translation isn't "king," generally used to refer to a ruler of a country rather than his male heir?   Critterkeeper (talk) 03:25, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
