A fact from Sara al-Qutiyya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 June 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Visigothic noblewoman Sara al-Qutiyya took back the land her uncle stole by travelling to Damascus and petitioning the caliph?
Lajmmoore, El Día de Córdoba says (via Google translate) "Popular memory and family tradition inspire the story of Sara La Goda, a character known thanks to him [Ibn al-Qutiyya]." [1] Should the biography section of Sara al-Qutiyya start, or possibly end, by saying that her life is known from the work of Ibn al-Qutiyya? The other language versions (via Google translate) seem to mention Ibn al-Qutiyya as the source of her biography. TSventon (talk) 14:30, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon thanks! So I'd put that in the Legacy section, but would be happy to see it move, please feel free to make changes! I was using google translate too, and I'm not clear as to whether he is the only source for her life, or if there where others? (which is why I was a bit non-committal on that) Lajmmoore (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lajmmoore, thanks again for your help elsewhere, I have now done some research and added two sources of the story referenced to Christians in Al-Andalus 711-1000 to the historiography section. Also that Roger Collins regards Sara as a "mythical ancestor". Let me know if you disagree with anything. TSventon (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's great - I hadn't come across the Collins reference before Lajmmoore (talk) 06:57, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
