Untitled[edit]

Hello, thanks for your instructions, first of all I have taken a lots of time to to do this work and translated from Arabic to English.

secondly I didn't copy 100 percent, what I have done is, that work is from my Knowlegde.

thirdly, I have given you that websites just for referance.

finally, if one person has knowledge and want offer it to wiki so how can we offer, because you will accuse us that we copied from the web which we give for referance.

thanks for you co-operation in advance.

Article tag updated[edit]

I changed the article tag from unreferenced (added by unknown user in April 2008) to nofootnotes because it has an external links section. --mo ^talk 03:18, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Financial gain?[edit]

The last line in the article says that "In Farag's interpretation, Al-Halabi's motives have more to do with popular Arab revolt against foreign occupation and tyranny, rather than political assassination for financial gain."

Has it been suggested anywhere that Al-Halabi acted for financial gains, i.e. was paid for this assassination? It doesn't seem, at a first glance, that he planned his escape too carefully. And a "revolt against tyranny" is always "political", so the sentence does not seem very clear to me. Any sources for the "financial" part? If not, I'd try to reshape the sentence to: "In Farag's interpretation, Al-Halabi's motives are depicted as inspired by popular Arab revolt against foreign occupation and tyranny". Which might be close to reality or not, pending any source about what his real motives were. Ilyacadiz (talk) 14:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

al-Jabarti[edit]

al-Jabarti's chronicles provides a rare contemporary native assessment of al-Halabi and his actions, which could enrich this article.

A great portion of the article relies on a single source, and that is Anadolu Agency, which is not particularly reliable (see WP:RSP). Apart from that, I wouldn't use a news site for such a topic. Although I didn't thoroughly check the article for verification, I noticed that the article mentions he was born in Aleppo, which is misleading, since even the source cited describes his birthplace as the village of Kukan near Afrin. The article looks clean and promising, but given that a large part of the article needs to be replaced with a better source, along with additional problems, I would give it some more time before another nomination.Aintabli (talk) 03:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Syrian theology student?[edit]

The beginning of the article mentions no knowledge of him being Kurdish whilst it is confirmed in Early Life that he was Kurdish. I propose that the beginning be changed to ‘Suleiman al-Halabi was a Kurdish-Syrian theology student best known for assassinating Jean-Baptiste Kléber’.

I want to hear from others before I make this change. Volkish Kurden (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
