Now Annaba

This edit is problematic for a number of reasons:

it contradicts what the cited source says: "Salim Hilali, est né un 30 juillet 1920 à Bône (Annaba)".
It also contradicts what plenty of other sources about subject say.^[1]^[2]^[3] I can cite more if needs be, though given the next point, I don't think that will be necessary.
more important than anything else, it's grossly misleading, if not factually incorrect, as it contradicts the fact that "Annaba" has been known by its Arabic name since the Arab conquest.^[4] M.Bitton (talk) 21:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

M.Bitton is correct here. إيان (talk) 21:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How about we wait for a consensus before making the change? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 15:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree that Annaba is the name now and has been the Arabic name for years. My concern is that the reader has no way of knowing that "(Annaba)" means "Bone's Arabic name is Annaba and his been since the Arab conquest." How about instead of "(Annaba)" or "(now Annaba)" we write this: "(known as Annaba in Arabic)"? Let's think of the reader here. 174.93.89.27 (talk) 15:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like so: (Arabic: عنّابة, romanized: Annaba)? This is using the template {{langx}}, which is standard for these types of situations, but forces us to also include the original script. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 19:24, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
