replies: text: This comment was made by the author of the page when it was only about the film with this title and it appeared like this. It was later removed as unconstructive by Eclecticology. He could not have known about the context of that comment, because the 2001 edits hadn't yet been imported into the Wikipeedia database and even once they were, the talk page edit was never imported because it was the only one in the page's history; it was only available on the Nostalgia Wikipedia. The original talk page was deleted in May 2004 because it was a blank page; I've imported all the missing edits. Graham87 13:18, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Why is it that there's about 3 sentences on the general population of the city, while there's an entire section devoted to the Jewish demographic which by account of the section, is only a few thousand people? It even starts listing synagogues. While I think the history of Judaism in the city is interesting, the demographic section could use more information on the majority demographics, and less adverts for the synagogues and obscure Israeli plays.

message: I think a section about culture is needed. There are lots of movies based on Casablanca. Museums can be included in the culture section, as well as cuisine, music (pop, traditional), etc. --Rochelimit (talk) 10:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Culture section

message: A cursory look at the climate section, and in particular the precipitation figures, reveals that they are almost certainly inaccurate. Anyone who has spent time in Casablanca during February and March knows that significant precipitation occurs during these months (and frankly just by looking at the figures, the discontinuity looks suspicious). Other sources corroborate my claim. If noone objects, I suggest this discrepancy should be corrected, probably simply by replacing the current data with data from euroWEATHER.

thread_title:  Marina text is pure PR 

message: I just eliminated the part "Racial makeup" from the infobox. It was quite ridiculous, saying that there are about 65% Arabs, 24% Berbers and 10% Moriscos. Arabs and Berbers are definitely not "races" in Morocco but language groups, and although it's quite possible that you'd have 65% percent Arab-speaking and 24% Berber-speaking population in Casablanca, we can't assure that without a source. Now the Morisco claim is just ridiculous, as there is no such thing as a Morisco race, and neither an defined ethnic or language group. Ilyacadiz (talk) 13:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Somebody (IP) added the Racial makeup again. I'm adamant that it is not correct to add figures into the infobox with no source given at all. If there is any observation about some supposed "racial" composition of the city, it might be presented first in the normal text in the Demograpics Section, sourced and explained. Maybe better first debate here. The use of the term "Races" is polemic anyhow. Thanks Ilyacadiz (talk) 21:08, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I wanted to be bold and add a mention of the the ever-so-famous movie in the lead, but it was reverted within a minute. My ES read added a mention of the film in lead. feel free to question, but please discuss BEFORE reverting. The revert ES read [...] Unsuitable for the lead. [...]
Now, after swallowing my anger from such refusal without arguments, let's talk this through. , please come here and tell me why you considered my edit bad. I checked the talk before, and there were no consensus for nor against mentioning the film in the lead. If your concern is sources, just say so and I'll see if Google will prove me right or prove me wrong. Thankful for cooperation, thankful for Wikipedia, Gaioa (click to talk) 22:43, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm very sorry you got all angry over this , but you really shouldn't be surprised that a bold edit got reverted, and your rather arrogant edsum got ignored. You are not special enough to forbid anybody from reverting you. May I suggest you read WP:CYCLE, often referred to as WP:BRD, and perhaps abide by what you find there, it'll prevent you from getting all wound up. Also note that your bold edit was not reverted within a minute. As to your refusal without arguments, see my edsum, and try to understand it. I know you read it, because you reproduced it above. I also note that somebody else agrees with me. -Roxy, Zalophus californianus. barcus 07:37, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Um... any arguments about my edit?? As far as I can see, , you have only talked about my behavior. Wanna do something else than mansplaining my arguments, such as discussing the change? Thankful for cooperation, thankful for Wikipedia, Gaioa (click to talk) 16:36, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The film is mentioned in the "In popular culture" section, and that is sufficient for something only peripherally related to the subject of the article. After all, the film is not about Casablanca, it's about a fictional romance set in Casablanca, and therefore doesn't deserve a mention in the lede of the article. Carlstak (talk) 17:11, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah! See, this is the kind of conversation I want to have on WP. On-topic and free from meta-discussions. Cred to you, Carlstak!And yes, when I think about it, the movie was not about the city so much that it should be associated with it - the film was set there and the film carried the name in its title. Ok, I back down. We're not mentioning the film in the lead. Thankful for cooperation, thankful for Wikipedia, Gaioa (click to talk) 18:11, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's necessary to mention the movie Salut Casa!, since it's extremely obscure. We don't need to mention every movie about Casablanca in the Casablanca article. Mucube (talk · contribs) 04:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a propaganda film about Casablanca of great historical significance. It's not obscure at all. إيان (talk) 05:09, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said in the edit summary of my revert, I don't see any reason to delete something that fits the topic of the section, is sourced, and doesn't take up disproportionate space. I don't see it as a matter of being "necessary", so much as a matter of being relevant. I can't speak further to how "obscure" it is, but if you can say it about this film you could surely say it about other films mentioned in that section and remove the majority of content for no gain. This seems like an arbitrary motivation in this context. PS: Not sure why you titled this discussion "Stop mentioning Salut Casa"; it's mentioned once. R Prazeres (talk) 05:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
