[edit] Ait Waryaguil / Beni Ouriaghel

I note that this uncommented edit (no summary) changed "Ait Waryaguil" to "Beni Ouriaghel". Was the former simply wrong? Should both names be mentioned? What is going on here? - Jmabel | Talk 16:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Nothing weird Jmabel. The most accurate spelling is Beni Ouriaghel. Both names refer to the same tribe. The edit summary mentioned dab, which was what i did. Cheers -- Szvest 16:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up™}

If it is correct, shouldn't the "Beni Ouriaghel" article mention the extremely different alternate name "Ait Waryaguil"? "Ouriaghel" and "Waryaguil" are clearly just different transliterations, but "Beni" and "Ait" are hardly similar words. - Jmabel | Talk 16:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[copied from my User talk:Jmabel]

Aît is a Berber name whearas Beni is an Arabic one. People from the Ouriaghel tribe are called Beni Ouriaghel. The Berbers refer to it as Beni Ouriaghel. Try google as well. For more info about the etymology you can refer to D.M. Hart: The Ayt Waryaghel of the Moroccan Rif. A History and an ethnography. Tuscon University, 1975.

That's about what I figured, but it is hardly common knowledge in the English-speaking world. I will add a mention to Beni Ouriaghel. - Jmabel | Talk 16:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

I don't understand why the title contains the term disaster. It was a disaster for the Spanish army but it wasn't for the Rifian warriors. I'll be waiting for a couple of days for any input before changing this title to the Battle of Annual for NPOV sake. -- Szvest - ^{Wiki me up ®} 13:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
