why does the link to the german tranlsation not direct to "Kasbah", but to "alkazaba", even if the german article "Kasbah" is existing?

I would like to inform you that "AL" in arabic means "the", and that "casbah" is closer to the dialect pronunciation than "kazaba".
Besides, the article focuses on Algeria's casbah even as if the concept of "casbah" is originally from there, which might give a wrong impression to the readers. Also, I will try to find accurate information on Tunis' casbah. It has been described by many French cultivated colons during their visits to Tunisia's capital during the second half of the 19th century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nadoudidou ( talk • contribs) 01:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I want to add more information about the role that the Casbah as a hideout for the FLN during the Algerian struggle for independence, but don't want to add information that is not entirely relevant. Anybody have particular thoughts on that?-- Hakenny ( talk) 05:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to see the source that omnipotently saw into the future to prove that "A casbah/kasbah has never, is not, and will never be a marketplace or anything even remotely related to a marketplace or store of any kind." I get somebody probably edited that out of righteous indignation that anyone could ever be moronic enough to use the word "casbah" incorrectly, but this isn't exactly unbiased, informative language. If you have a source referring to people using the word incorrectly in this way, please include it. Otherwise, this needs to be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.170.199 ( talk) 19:42, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. — ΛΧΣ 21 07:09, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
