[[User:RiadS99|RiadS99]] ([[User talk:RiadS99|talk]]) 16:51, 20 April 2026 (UTC) :::::Here is a precise and concise reply: Please explain why you believe both [[WP:MPN|WP:MPN, "Use Modern Names"]] and [[WP:CONTEXTBIO]] do not apply here. I have already addressed most of the arguments you have raised here: for example, the writer of the Britannica entry is an academic historian who has published a biography of Ibn Battuta (meaning he is clearly a [[subject-matter expert]]). :::::{{tq|Being Moroccan, Mauritanian, Tunisian, or whatever is a matter of nationality}} :::::This is not about a nationality, it is about a geographic descriptor. You have quoted an argument I have not made: I have demonstrated that Morocco is very commonly used by high-quality English scholarship as the relevant geographic label for Battuta's temporal context. Again, you are the only person referencing the modern-nation state of Morocco, ethnicity, or nationality.
