"Hillcock"

The top image contains a "hillcock". I hope this is just a typo, rather than vandalism. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 21:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the top map, since no one seems to have taken you seriously. --StephanNaro (talk) 21:07, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of map?

I'm guessing they didn't have sattelite imagery back when they invented this story based on the story of the Hephthalite invasion of the Sassanian(?) Empire some centuries earlier as mentioned by Tom Holland in In the Shadow of the Sword? The maps sure don't look terribly much like the territory, but any mention of that would be OR? --StephanNaro (talk) 21:13, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Battle of the Trench

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 Battle of the Trench'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.

Reference named "Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam":

  • From Gabriel: al-Misri, Mahmud (2015). Sahabat-Sahabat Rasulullah vol 1: Zubair bin Awwam [Companion of the Prophet vol 1: Zubair bin Awwam] (in Indonesian and Arabic). Pustaka Ibnu Katsir. p. Shaja'ah Zubayr ibn al-Awwam Radhiyallahu anh (bravery of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam; by Mahmud al-Misri [ar]; official Book review by Basalamah; quoting various supplementary sources such as Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Siyar A'lam Nubala, Al-Tirmidhi, Prophetic biography of Ibn Hisham, etc. ISBN 9789791294386. Retrieved 6 November 2021.
  • From Zubayr ibn al-Awwam: al-Misri (2015, p. Zubayr ibn Awwam chapter)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for result in infobox

@Kaalakaa::

You changed the result to Quraysh victory using Brockopp page 9 and Lapidus page 42.

These sources state:

  • "The battles with the Meccans continued; some of these were barely survived by the Muslims (Uhud in 3/625), and others were a draw (Battle of the Trench in 5/627)." -- The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad, Jonathan E. Brockopp, page 9.
  • "..who twice attacked Muhammad and Medina - first at the Battle of Uhud (625) and then at the Battle of the Ditch (627). The former was a defeat for Muhammad and the latter was a stalemate." --Islamic Societies to the Nineteenth Century: A Global History, Ira M. Lapidus, page 42.

Care to explain? --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Kansas Bear. Thanks for letting me know. I mistakenly reverted to the @Aura G666's version, thinking that this article was Battle of Uhud. In my revision that I made myself, I wrote the result as stalemate. Also here I added more source, and here too. Your current revision is correct. Thank you.

Ok. --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:59, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
