Talk:Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula

message: This section, in addition to being better suited for the page Al-Andalus, contains what I perceive as opinionated and exaggerated views (for instance, ... the Reconquest of Spain, ... left Spain internally barren of resources), and furthermore it's pretty disconnected internally. I think that the section should be, if not entirely deleted, at least drastically trimmed. Jotamar (talk) 13:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It isn't a good fit in the current article and definitely lacks a NPOV. I was unable to verify against some of the cited references; it would have been easier if page numbers were provided but neither Catlos nor Fromherz seem to back up what's been written. Should be deleted. Glendoremus (talk) 03:10, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: When I opened this discussion, I wasn't even aware about the refs in the section not backing the claims. With no further comments in one month, I'm going ahead and deleting the section. --Jotamar (talk) 23:12, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section ''The Urban-Huerta Landscape: The Economic Prosperity of Al-Andalus'' 

message: Whatever the way in the past the Iberian Peninsula was called, nowadays the event this entry refers aply to the peninsula itself, that is to Portugal and to Spain. Any person can think the previous naming excluded Portugal, and we could have also an entry about the muslim conquest of Portugal, which isn't needed. Several different Wikipedias use more neutral names for this event. In Portuguese its called "Invasão muçulmana da Península Ibérica". . In the Galician Wikipedia its called "Invasión musulmá da Península Ibérica" . In the French Wikipedia its used also the more neutral title: Conquête musulmane de l'Hispanie Mistico Dois (talk) 02:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Since you didn't bother to check the two extensive discussions of the page name before moving it, or open up a proper move discussion, you don't seem to be aware that this issue has been discussed at length quite recently.  The state of Portugal did not exist at the time of the Muslim conquest, and countless historical and literary sources refer to the entire peninsula as "Spain", translating the Latin "Hispania", which included what is now Portugal, prior to Portugal becoming a separate state.  This is not an uncontroversial move, and should not have been done without at least checking to see whether a similar move had been proposed in the past.  Please return the article to its previous title [note, the article was moved back while I was typing this.  Thank you.], and if you wish you can open a normal move discussion here.  If you can achieve consensus for the proposed title, then and only then should it be moved.  P Aculeius (talk) 02:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Iberian Peninsula isn't Spain

message: Why was Hispania changed to Iberia? The land was historically known as Hispania. H20346 (talk) 06:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We aren't required to use the geographical names used at the time. "Hispania" was dropped at #Requested move 15 March 2023 and "Iberia" was adopted at #Requested move 5 January 2024. You can read the brief closing comments as a summary. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 00:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
