Move to Draft

edit

I'd suggest moving this page to the Draft namespace, and then move it back to mainspace when it is ready. Scimitar and Shamshir already exist, and there is likely to be significant overlap. The talk in the page belongs here, not in the article. Mduvekot (talk) 22:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

But there is no difference between the straight and the saber in those articles. It's utterly devoid of information. And it requires it. I have the books to give it more context. There is a clear difference. Not to mention, the scimitar comes from the turks, not the Arabs. Those articles, in fact, are badly designed. MontChevalier (talk) 23:00, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Of the few sources used in the article that are viewable online, two of three use "Arab sword", none use "Arabic sword". The previous article moves were both done without discussion. Batternut (talk) 00:25, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Where does the terminology of the anatomy of the saif comes from? And from when? 125.166.12.222 (talk) 01:48, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
