Talk:Abbasid Caliphate

Is anyone checking edits made by silent anonymous editor?

I mean "49.36.110.63", who goes in w/o edit summary or any explanation on this talk-page, and makes substantial edits. Arminden (talk) 01:28, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Abbasid Flag?

The Abbasids adopted a black banner and dynastic color like the Rashidun Caliphate, similar to the white dynastic color adopted by the Fatimids.

To avoid confusion, I do not believe this should not be used as a "flag" in the infobox. It is already described in the lead.

The Rashidun Caliphate and Fatimid Caliphate articles do not have a dynastic color flag in their infoboxes. Should we remove the black banner from the flag?

I attempted to do so, but @Trekkie49 reverted my edit. Firecat93 (talk) 23:57, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Article length

I'm currently revising and filling out some of the History section, which was in need of both citations and further details about some fairly fundamental developments/events, but I also want to note here that the article is already a bit large for WP:LENGTH purposes. I think the most obvious first step is to spin off much of the "Culture" section into something like Abbasid art for a start, but there might be stuff to move or trim in subsequent sections too. I can do this myself when I have time, but if there are other thoughts or further suggestions, feel free to discuss here. R Prazeres (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Update: this is now done, relevant sections have been moved to Abbasid art. R Prazeres (talk) 01:01, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Is the map acurate?

weren't the Hindu shahis and Zunbils still independent? ~2026-24644-0 (talk) 17:58, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

You have to be precise, and ideally, present the reliable sources that refer to whatever you're alluding to. M.Bitton (talk) 18:10, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

The map contains an error.

The opening map says "Cyrpus" instead of "Cyprus" on Cyprus. Malti Crocodile (talk) 00:39, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Well spotted, thank you. Someone would need to manually edit the image to fix it. I've left a request directly on the file's discussion page, but the author of the map has not been active since 2024, so we may need to wait until another capable image editor has time to do this.
