Probably worth including under "in popular culture", he has a landform on Pluto named after him, referenced here /info/en/?search=List_of_geological_features_on_Pluto#Montes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.114.68.72 ( talk) 18:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
I removed the reference to the Tabula Idrisiana on the grounds that I can find no references at all to this name outside of Wikipedia and its mirrors. So far as I can tell, it's always called Tabula Rogeriana in English -- User:Paul Drye
Never was moroccan, when the Almoravid empire, the capital was Aoudagost (Mauritania), and your family was originated from Malaga (Spain). true, he was spanish or mauritan , Ceuta never belongs Morocco (founded at 1956). ( Sustrai ( talk) 00:03, 9 October 2011 (UTC))
when writing about Poland he has conflated it with the land that is the modern-day Czech Republic, because he wrote about "a country surrounded by mountains" — this seems to be a very confused statement. What does it mean? He applied the term "Poland" to an area different from the 1945 polish borders? come on... dab 09:48, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I moved it to Muhammad al-Idrisi for consistency with Ahmad ibn Fadlan (first name plus characteristic (geographical) name, not just (al-)Idrisi, but not full name either). I adjusted all redirects (no multiple redirects should be left). dab 22:29, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I've uploaded two image files with what look like better copies of the Idrisi map than the one given in the article; both are thumbnailed here for comparison. I suggest the use of either one of these as they include more detail. The one thing about the existing article image is that the map copy is south-oriented just like al-Idrissi's original, but the north-oriented ones are more helpful for comparison with the actual shape in modern maps.
The first one is given in the link to "the map" in the section "usefull information " on this talk page. The link's address is http://www.historisches-franken.de/andechs_geheimnis/technik_weltkarte431.htm. The second one is from a google search.
Note that both these copies are north-oriented. -- Scriber 02:48, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
How can he have recorded all seven continents in the early 12th century? Honestly.
Acording to all this diferent, no?... because if Almoravid was a Empre, and he born in Ceuta, Spain... when I talk about Morocco?Bokpasa 19:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The section "Chief work and achievement" needs a more thorough re-writing as it was lifted by an editor (now banned for copyright violation) from http://www.muslimheritage.com/uploads/Sicily1.pdf. This is copyright 2003, 2004 of FSTC Limited (Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation). - Fayenatic (talk) 09:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I tagged the "Legacy" section as unreferenced. It was part of this edit, the rest of which was removed for copyright violation. (I got involved because I had previously spent an hour wikifying one of the same contributor's new articles, before that got deleted for copyvio.) This still includes the WP:PEACOCK sentence that "He was so remarkable that he was nicknamed the strobe of the Arabs" -- and I am not sure what the latter means anyway. User:Attilios removed the tag on 5 Sept but as he has not responded to a longer note on his talk page, I have reinstated the tag. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Ceuta and Sabtah aren't the same town? From the Latin "Septem"(Seven) or "Septem Frates" (7 Brothers)
The illustration is upside down. Can someone smarter than me turn it over? Thanks. 155.213.224.59 ( talk) 17:41, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Muhammad al-Idrisi's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

The al-Idrisi who wrote an account of the Pyramids (discussed in El-Daly's book) is a different figure (Abu Jacfar Muhammad Ibn cAbd Al-cAziz al-Idrisi, d. 1251). This section should be removed from this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.69.171 ( talk) 23:10, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
