I removed the redirect because hamada is a valid (if esoteric) topographical term for this desert feature, and some people (for instance, me) are not looking Hamada, Shimane when they type this in. Perhaps a disambiguation page would be more appropriate (in which case this should be sent to Hamada (topography) or Hamada (desert feature) or something similar). If someone out there feels that the vast majority of people who type in "Hamada" really are looking specifically for "Hamada, Shimane", then feel free to return the original redirect, but please preserve the information on the desert feature somewhere.

It would also be greatly appreciated if someone more knowledgeable than I am would flesh out this article, since I do realize it's currently sadly emaciated. Thanks all! Mineralogy 07:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] حمادة

The Arabic name is حمادة or حماد NOT همادة,also I think the explaination for the roots of the Arabic name is not correct.--Aziz1005 16:48, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I had also asked User:Menasim to comment on this (since he's got the same Arabic language userbox on his page that you do), hopefully having two contributors attesting to the accuracy of the spelling will prevent anon users from changing it. Might be worth putting in an  alerting anons to check the talk page before changing anything. Thanks for the correction! WLU 16:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I Would like to clarify that Hamada is orginated from Arabic and it does not refer to Desert landscape or topographical identity. In Arabic Hamada (حماده) comes out of "ALHAMD الحمد" which mean thanking. auhamada@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.11.24.254 (talk) 11:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
