Talk:Rasoherina

message: Can anyone identify the man in this photograph? Some years ago, I acquired a matching pair of old carte de visite photos by "Photographie Franck" of Paris, labeled "Reine de Madagascar" and "Roi de Madagascar". The "Reine" was clearly Queen Rasoherina, and that photo is the one used in this article's infobox. The companion photo, though, is more of a problem, especially given the complex interrelationships of the Merina dynasty. I have seen decent illustrations of Rasoherina's 1st (Radama II) and 3rd (Rainilaiarivony) husbands, and would find it hard to call either a match with this photo. Could this be Rainivoninahitriniony, Rasoherina's 2nd husband, whom I've not seen illustrated before? To my eye, the man in the photo has some resemblance to Rainilaiarivony, who would have been his half-brother if that identification is correct. Tim Ross (talk) 13:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for posting this... According to another source, it's a photo of Rainilaiarivony, her third husband. I just found a photo of Rainivoninahitriniony and uploaded it to his article. Lemurbaby (talk) 18:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The name of the Abbasid caliph in Cairo during the term 1386-1389 is given here as Al-Mut'asim (Cario). However, in the French Wikipedia and in Wikipedia in Arabic, the name of the calioh at Cairo for the same perid is given as (Arabic: المستعصم بالله الثاني
and !Al-Musta'sim (Abbasside du Caire) or as the French Wikipedia gives in his full name " ʾabū yaḥya zakarīyāʾ al-mustaʿṣim bi-llāh, ". All in all the name should be not " Al-Mu'tasim (Cairo)" but "Al-Musta'sim (Cairo)".  There is also the problem of whether he should be  plain " Al-Musta'sim " or  " Al-Musta'sim II " as given in Arabic Wikipedia (as discussed in the French Wikipedia).

The name of this person, in Arabic, is قو (based on both back-transliterating from Levtzion and Hopkins (2000) and this source ). The strict transliteration of this name would be Qū or Qw. He is called Gao by Niane (1959, in French), Kaw by Niane (1984), Qu by Person (1981) and Canós-Donnay (2019), and Qū by Levtzion (1963, 1980), Levtzion and Hopkins (2000), and Gomez (2018). The name Qū is apparently identified with a name in oral tradition given as Ko by Person (1981) and Niane (1984).

message: I'm not sure there's any value in having the son of the "Cannibal Emperor" with his own page. Does anyone know if he even makes the claim that he is Emperor, or has anyone even advanced the claim on his behalf? I think it would be much better to simply merge this into the main Jean-Bedel Bokassa article, with the statement that his son would be Emperor today had the Central African Empire continued. Also, this site: http://genealogia.netopia.pt/2875/pessoas.php?id=1050246 has his birthday listed as 2 November 1973, not 1975 as listed. Which is correct? Jsc1973 (talk) 09:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, way to go. Hide behind an IP number and accuse someone of racism for a legitimate query that you don't happen to agree with. Whether you believe he was a cannibal or not, the elder Bokassa was an emperor for less than three years. (During which time his legitimacy was often questioned.) His son was a child at the time and had no notability prior to his father's coronation and has had none since. He's already mentioned in the "House of Bokassa" article.

message: The last sentence of the introduction is misleading:  “Rwabugiri is sometimes attributed for the tactics used by the RPF during the Rwandan genocide to retain Tutsi superiority .” 
“Retain Tutsi superiority” is a potentially inflammatory and highly biased phrase. The RPF was an invading army during the 1994 conflict, not the institutional power. While the RPF was a Tutsi organization, the claim that it advocated for “superiority” is both biased and subjective. Therefore this sentence should be rephrased to more directly describe Rwabugiri’s influence on RPF military tactics, or removed altogether. 41.186.78.122 (talk) 09:42, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

The Arabic spelling of his father's name is evidently قو (both back-transliterated from Levtzion and Hopkins 2000 and taken from ), for which the strict transliteration is Qū or Qw, and of course his own name is simply the name Muhammad.

Not sure what any of that is about. It is a translation from French, where it also makes little sense. NGO is a translation of ONG, which is anachronistic here.
