Volunteers?
editI'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
editThe 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:
- 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?
editVoyages_of_Ibn_Battuta#Destinations 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)
