[edit] South vs North

The use of north vs south is currently inaccurate; currently it is used to describe Arabs, but I think that Arabia would be more appropriate. Jayvdb 03:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Southern Arabs (Qahtani) moved to the North from 3rd cenury AD. and in many times they became the northern most of the Arabs. (Ghassanids, Lakhmids) it remained that way until Islam

• Also keep in Mind:
  • Yement = South, Yameen = Right, Youmn = Good fortune. (Good fortune due to peace and wealth in ancient times)
  • Shoum = North, Shimal = Left, Shoum = Bad fortune. (Bad fortune due to the wars that haunted the Sham in ancient times)

The origin of which word was derived from the other can go either way--Skatewalk 04:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mythology presented as fact

There seems to be fairly scant referencing here for there being 40 generations of descent between Abraham, a figure whose existance is not proven, and Adnan. Shouldn't the information presented here be presented as a mythological explanation, or at least as one possible explanation, rather than as genealogical fact? ++Lar: t/c 14:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I actually think this edit by User:Skatewalk (before) is suspicious - smells too much like potential is copyvio, and the user is listed as a sockpuppet of Serenesoulnyc. Accordingly, I've reverted to the version of the article from prior to this edit. --Random832 (contribs) 19:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Note that the group is probably also notable - we have an article Qahtanite. Inbound links will also need to be sorted out, since this stood for the better part of a year. --Random832 (contribs) 19:34, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
