[edit] Fes Population

There is a vandal on-line who has decided that anything connected to Fassi filmmaker Jamal Morelli is a "vanity page" - Rachid el-Ouali is one of Morocco's most important artists and he doesn't have a wiki. I am not sure but this is either anti-muslim maybe someone hurt this vandal's work.

Is there a source for the recently added assertion for Fes being the largest city in world c. 1100s?

[edit] fez

anyone have a date on the massacre of christians that people associate the shriners cap to? unsigned comment by IP 172.144.39.92

Not really. -- Szvest 16:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The Shriner's cap is called a Fez - this video [2] gives a date 800 AD (at 6m25s), but doesn't give sources. The story is controversial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuart Anthony (talk • contribs) 01:34, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

any reason there's no info on the Fes riots of the early '90's on here?unsigned comment by User:Nicole Javaly

The only reason is that we've been waiting for someone like you to contribute. -- Szvest 16:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Town twinning

I've just reverted this edit for the second time. The reason is simple. Morocco does not officially recognize Israel so the twinning was signed w/ the palestinian authority on May 7th, 1982 instead of Israeli authorities in Jerusalem. Also, Fes calls the city Al Quds and not Jerusalem. -- Szvest - ^{Wiki me up ®} 14:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
