Edit Request on Moor Article

In the first paragraph of this article there is a distinction made between Berbers and black africans which is absurd. Beerbers are not a race nor a complexion. They are an indigenous group of Africans who range from very fair skin to dark skin. A wide range of historical sources all point to the dark skin of the ancient Berbers. I cited many of these sources in the talk page. Here is one quote from Ibn Butlan (from 11th century Baghdad) I forgot to cite:

"Their color is mostly black though some pale ones can be found among them. If you can find one whose mother is of Kutama, whose father is of Sanhaja, and whose origin is Masmuda, then you will find her naturally inclined to obedience and loyalty in all matters ..."

In particular references to the Almorhavids all portray them as mostly darkskinned, which is not surprising considering the Almorharvid movement was sparked and developed in Senegal, if am not mistaken.

Also in the population genetics section of the article, it is reported that the Berber Marker (M81) is not found in Subsharan Africa, when that marker reaches its highest frequencies in places like Mali and Burkina Faso and is also found in places like the Sudan.

I also find it strange that this artticle absurdly defines Moors as strictly moslem when many of the fanous Moors are Christians, black christians. I would appreciate it if you allowed the necessary changes to be made in this article. As my first attempt has been reversed. Ahmedbaba (talk) 12:06, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if that's actually vandalism, so I'm not going to take any action. GFOLEY FOUR!15:57, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited 2011–12 Chicago Bulls season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wells Fargo Arena (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
