Talk:Voyages of Ibn Battuta

Volunteers?
I've expanded this considerably, but am now bored with it & becoming busy with other things. Does anyone want to finish the job?

My work needs checking & perhaps expansion or revision. Also, I have not touched his journey home or later travels in West Africa. Pashley (talk) 16:14, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Latin occupation
The listing for Constantinople mentions "the Latin occupation several decades prior". Was that part of the Crusades? If so, it likely needs a link. Pashley (talk) 18:30, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I guess using the word "Latin" in this context is a little problematic in English, but I think that's what it's called. The relevant Wikipedia articles I'm aware of are the following:
 * w:Sack of Constantinople
 * w:Latin Empire
 * w:Frankokratia
 * And yes, it's considered part of the Fourth Crusade, so I linked the Crusades article accordingly. Vidimian (talk) 22:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

More headings?
Voyages_of_Ibn_Battuta is currently a very long section, so I am thinking of splitting it up with sub-headings. What do others think? Pashley (talk) 22:14, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. I was very anxious about involving in an edit conflict when I was editing that section yesterday or so. My initial thought was subdividing it into individual journeys as done by Ibn Battuta, but then I realized it was one big journey from the Maghreb to East Asia and back, and another relatively short one around Iberia and West Africa.

 * ✅ Done, though my choices might need some adjustment. Pashley (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
