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]

Arabic sword → Arab sword – Per WP:COMMONNAME. See specialist sword books: Burton, Sir Richard F. (1884). The Book of the Sword. Cosimo, Inc. p. 51. ISBN 9781605204376. Fig 72 - Arab sword and Evangelista, Nick (1995). The Encyclopedia of the Sword. Greenwood Publishing Group. p. 335. ISBN 9780313278969. Khandoo. A type of Arab sword. See also Google book results.

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]

Source for the anatomy of the saif[edit]

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]
