A fine article, but if, as the is made quite clear, there was no actual state or dominion called "Kingdom of Africa", shouldn't the title be something else? Descriptive perhaps, "Norman rule in North Africa" or something like this? Constantine ✍ 18:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
When we move on the history of Tunisia, we end up at some time on the Kingdom of Africa, however, we can't see what was after and before it. Also we'd need general information on it. Tounsimentounes ( talk) 06:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
This section has something missing. It says Tunisians feared attack, although Roger was too distracted by war with Byzantium to be a threat. So whom did they fear? The Almohads?
Hi AvailableViking, since there is disagreement, I've opened a discussion here, per WP:BRD. (I'm not sure if you were also the one who made the original edit here?) Srnec can also further explain their objection, if they want.
For my part, I am a little skeptical of having a full "country" infobox for what is simply a temporary territorial extension of the Kingdom of Sicily. This also seems to lead to some WP:OR in the proposed infobox; e.g. what counts as the date of "establishment"? According to the article, 1135 is merely the capture of Jerba; expansion to the mainland didn't occur until the 1140s. And why is Mahdia the "capital"? Etc. An infobox is useful in the right context, but it's also a blunt instrument. If there's a consensus on how to make it work, I'll defer to that of course.
