Hi Tomer, thanks for your question. Well, I think you asked the right person as I am from Tétouan, Tetuán, Tittawin, Tittawen, Tettawen or Tettawin, etc...
Before anything, Tétouan is a French form. And Tetuán is the Spanish form. There are three aspects that we have to consider:
In brief, Tatawn is still acceptable as a transcript. However, I'd rather use a double t as an emphisize.
I think the author of Tetauni might not know about what I just said above as the article deals with Jews in Oran, Algeria. Tetauni is pronounced T'ttawni in Tetuán and pronounced Tetuani in the rest of Morocco.
Finally, I am also not sure how to get a right title for the city in the English Wikipedia. Tétouan would be valid in the French Wikipedia. I just tried to add Tetuán as a redirect. Maybe I'll have to add a line mentioning the other names. I looked into google.es and found the following. You can have a look at these three web pages: [1], [2], [3].

The " æ" grapheme is difficult to type; as our own article notes, it is "falling into disuse." This can be demonstrated through a few simple searches on Google:
Name | æ hits | Non-æ hits |
"Judæo-Arabic"/"Judeo-Arabic" | 12,200 | 13,500 |
"Judæo-Berber"/"Judeo-Berber" | 30 | 531 |

ישנם פעילים חברתיים שונים (למשל חלק מאנשי הקשת הדמוקרטית המזרחית) המציעים לקרוא למזרחים בשם יהודים ערבים, משמע, יהודים שמוצאם מארצות ערב. ולא "מזרחים", שהיא קטגוריה שלדעתם הומצאה על ידי הממסד האשכנזי ששלט בארץ. אך זה אינו ביטוי נפוץ בשיח העדתי הישראלי, וזוכה לביקורת רבה מרוב הציבור המזרחי
There are various social activists (for example, some members of the Mizrahi Democratic Rainbow) who suggest calling Mizrahim: Arab Jews, that is, Jews originating from Arab countries [sic.] and not "Mizrahim", which is a category that in their opinion was created by the Askenazi institution who ruled the country. But this phrase is not prevalent in Israeli ethnic discourse, and recieves much criticism from the majority of the Mirzahi public. he El_C 11:36, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

From what I've read, I know that Christianity refers to the Ishmaelites. The Ishmaelites are said to have married with the local North Arabian tribes and thus became the "Arabized" Arabs. Certainly, Islam clarified Ishmael's connections to the Arabs and said that Muhammad was his descendant, but that's not the point. I think it is a pretty popular view that Ishmael is the ancestor of the Arabs (although Arab is mostly a linguistic term nowadays). Either way, I don't view religious genealogies as being that relevant to modern times, thanks for your input though. Yuber (talk) 02:32, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
hey... I thought I had appropriately fixed all redirects to point to the correct article rather than the disambig page. I certainly changed most of them, but apologies if there were some I overlooked! Cheers, UkPaolo 22:07, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I heard the same thing. I think even to this day it's not used widely outside North America. When I was in Dublin I was once corrected when I said "downtown" -- "It's called 'city centre' here," they said. I think that term is used in Britain as well (except maybe in London where it's just called The City). Also in Berlin the English word "city" is used to mean downtown: "Ich fahre in die City" means "I'm going downtown" (as distinct from "Ich fahre in die Stadt", which just means "I'm going to the city" from someplace outside of it). One of the oldest quotes in the OED, from 1835, clearly refers to New York: "To-day when I go down town I shall subscribe for the 'New York Observer' for you." -- Angr/ tɔk tə mi 05:50, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Relax. My skin is pretty thick. I've been around here for quite some time. My remark about POV was not because I felt offended, but because I've seen lots of misuse and misunderstanding of the term in terms of wikipedia policies.

Hi Tomer, at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Anti-Polonism you did not cast a "formal" vote after you presented the reasons for the article's deletion etc. It's always important to place your formal vote and word it accurately (i.e. "Delete", "Rename", ""Redirect", "Merge", or whatever it is you are suggesting be done with the article) and then sign it even though you already signed the opening statement. This way, those who agree with you on this vote, as I do in this case, also know how to word the vote they are supposed to be voting against, and nothing will get lost in the shuffle.

That's great, but looking at Category:Hebrew alphabet I see ב is the only one.

Hi Tomer, thanks for your question. Well, I think you asked the right person as I am from Tétouan, Tetuán, Tittawin, Tittawen, Tettawen or Tettawin, etc...

I think the author of Tetauni might not know about what I just said above as the article deals with Jews in Oran, Algeria. Tetauni is pronounced T'ttawni in Tetuán and pronounced Tetuani in the rest of Morocco.

Have you seen the latest on the Talk page? They now want to expand their war to all Karaite-related articles. The "modest proposal" is so laughably extreme that I am impressed by its audacity. This is getting ludicrously out of hand. -- Briangotts 21:36, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
It looks like User:Witkacy is setting himself up for an RfC at a minimum. Jayjg (talk) 8 July 2005 22:35 (UTC)
Did I do this right? Does someone second it? [ [6]] BrandonYusufToropov 9 July 2005 09:54 (UTC)

It was easy to vote on the Wojsko Polskie issue, the other two are going to take more thought. Grika 19:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I have no idea who Pilz is; never heard of him before this article. But I agree with you about the pathetic nature of it all, particularly when you read the edit summaries and Talk: comments as well. Jayjg (talk) 05:38, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
That's great, but looking at Category:Hebrew alphabet I see ב is the only one. For consistency, surely all the other articles should be moved from their transliterated names to their Hebrew characters too, right? And once that's done, I think a Hebrew alphabet template might be nice... -- Angr/ tɔk tə mi 05:53, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
It's definitely more attractive. Careful it doesn't spit on you. Jayjg (talk) 06:00, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
