thread_title:  Hm. 

message: There is no possibly way that the black guard numbered 150,000 this a huge exaggerated number, first of all why would a personal guard of the king be larger than the size of the entire Moroccan army, the Moroccan army at those ages was probably not more than 100,000. How or why would there be a personal guard numbering 150,000! guards? And it is a personal guard that means it would never be a very high number.
It is also impossible if you look at the demographic history of Morocco, Morocco has now a population of 35 million, in 1950 it was 10 million, in 1800 it was 3-4 million(Africans: the history of a continent), in 1700 it was probably 3 million.
So an army of 150,000 means 5% of the total population of Morocco was part of the Black Guard.
That means 10% of the male population of Morocco was a member of the Black Guard.
This is ofcourse a too high number, I think the Black Guard was maybe 150 or at its hight 1,500.
Even 15,000 is impossible, Where did all these guards live?
The biggest city in Morocco was Casablanca in 1921 and had a population of 102,000(Cities and economic development: from the dawn of history to the present) in 1700 probably no moroccan cities had a population higher then 40,000.DragonTiger23 (talk) 08:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Understand. maybe we should consider to take a look further through morocco's population history to measure the correct number. and how the method of those recording it. are they include the Garrison soldiers as population or not139.192.143.74 (talk) 22:54, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't know who is makeing these morocco related pages but the things put down have to be substantiated. There is no source for well over 3/4 of the content. The last page I came from had none at all! 
Please fix this, thank you  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.89.123.154 (talk) 16:52, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is the second Morocco page with next to no References 

message: I went ahead and merged the pages as no-one was objecting and it had been a year. There was next to nothing on the abid al-bukhari page and the main source was Encyclopedia Brittanica which I have and could verify and ad into this page. speednat (talk) 20:41, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
