Semi-protected edit request on 17 August 2021[edit]

The area can not be 9.2 million km2! it can be max. 300.000 km2. Please make necessary changes. Thank you. 176.40.39.12 (talk) 04:16, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done: The sources say it is that big. RudolfRed (talk) 04:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 August 2021[edit]

Add "citation needed" to the claim "The area is next expected to become green in about 15,000 years (17,000 CE)." at the end of the introduction. The only source in the paragraph outlines the 20,000 year cycle, but makes no mention of where in that cycle we currently are.

(It is likely that the actual study that the source is a summary of does mention this, but I am not able to verify that.) Cernael (talk) 09:38, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The statement that the Sahara is expected to become green again in about 15,000 years (17,000 AD/CE) has come and gone in various iterations of a climate history section in the article for at least the last ten years, but I haven't found where a reliable source is cited for that. This article mentions a 23,000 year cycle, and says the Sahara might turn green around 12,000 CE. So, I'll remove the sentence in question. - Donald Albury 15:08, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Change "BCE" to "BC" 108.30.247.221 (talk) 11:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Date formats are a thing. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:12, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Languages spoken in Sahara desert[edit]

Arabic dialects are the most widely spoken languages in the Sahara. Arabic, Berber and its variants now regrouped under the term Amazigh (which includes the Guanche language spoken by the original Berber inhabitants of the Canary Islands) and Beja languages are part of the Afro-Asiatic or Hamito-Semitic family.[citation needed] Unlike neighboring West Africa and the central governments of the states that comprise the Sahara, the French language bears little relevance to inter-personal discourse and commerce within the region, its people retaining staunch ethnic and political affiliations with Tuareg and Berber leaders and culture. 102.89.34.22 (talk) 07:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's right; Arabic is not a Berber dialects to be regrouped within it (that's so fuuny to mend), as Arabic has a well-known trace and history!

Also, Banu Hassan are true Arabs not Arabized (please, wikipedia is not a site of Berberism). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.220.114.154 (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
