The ethnicity of Ammar Al-Mawsili

User:Kansas Bear
Is Farawahar source reliable for this man ethnicity? My source is Encyclopedia of Islam which is more specialist regarding such matters. Frasfras17 (talk) 06:13, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My source is a book from a a historian of science so, what’s your point Frasfras17 ? Farawahar (talk) 13:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As Farawahar has already linked Dr. Chapman's article, I would suggest taking this to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have an opinion about my source ? Since i trust your judgment, if you think it’s not reliable, i’ll just self-revert and remove the Persian claim and its source.

Your opinion is also welcome ...

Looking at this source, first I would look at the author. Is the author's field(ie. specialization) related to what is being referenced. Chapman appears to be a historian of science, but I could not find anything about Chapman that has to do with Islamic studies, Islamic history, Islamic science, etc. So in my opinion, the Chapman source falls just outside of what I would call a reliable source. Which means, at least to me, I would not use it. --Kansas Bear (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I asked for other users opinion and at the same time you were answering me. It’s ok for me to self-revert, but since i asked for other users opinion, i will wait a few hours before that if it does not bother you. Thanks. Farawahar (talk) 22:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the Persian claim, thanks for your clever advice.
