Abraham ben Jacob → ? – According to the opening sentence, Abraham ben Jacob was better known under his Arabic name of Ibrâhîm ibn Ya`qûb al-Tartushi. WP:COMMONNAME says we should name things using "the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources". I would argue that any of the Arabic redirects to this article (Ibrahim ibn Jakub, Ibrahim ibn Jaqub, Ibrahim ibn Yaqub al-Tartushi, Ibrahim ibn Yaqub, Íbrahím ibn Jaqúb, Ibrahim Ibn Jacub, Ibrahim ibn Jacub, Ibrahim ibn Ahmed At-Tartûschi, Ibrahim ibn Ya'kub, or Ibrāhīm ibn Yaʿqūb al-IsrāʾAīlī al-Turṭushi) is a better name than the current Hebrew name. For simplicity's sake, I personally favor Ibrahim ibn Yaqub as it involves no diacritics or unusual spellings. What do other editors think? — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 01:23, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.User:Malik Shabazz, I had a look at updating the lede to comply to the MOS after the move, but I decided I'd just make a mess if I tried (despite speaking a little Turkish!).
Could you handle this (either personally or by delegation), or should I raise it with an appropriate WikiProject or similar? TIA Andrewa ( talk) 08:55, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
On the map, "Mohuč" is the Czech name for the German city Mainz. Acwilson9 ( talk) 05:43, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
The map is inconsistent with the article content, since the journey shown there does not start from his native town, Tolosa, does not enter into Poland (although he could have talked of it as per stories heard, which is unlikely), does not cross Italy and shows a "return" to Cordoba whereas the article states that nothing is known of his travelling back. 194.78.194.24 ( talk) 18:48, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
