[edit] Re: Changes
I have added back the paragraph on Ahmed I's military exploits—which was moved by OttomanReference to another article—on the grounds that this article, Ahmed I, should not neglect information relevant to the subject/person covered. The article is (at least at the current time) short enough that it is not overwhelming the reader, which is the general reason to start shunting information off to other articles (v. Wikipedia:Long article layout), and any reader coming to this page and wishing to find here any information directly relevant to Ahmed I should—I believe—be able to find it here. —Saposcat 06:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
"He was of kindly and humane disposition"? I read a book called "the lost village" about the Sack of Baltimore in which 100 Irish people were enslaved and sold in N. Africa. It described Ahmed as completely bonkers, having citizens randomly executed for no reason. Soldiers went in front of him to scare people away, because he was liable to order anyone to be killed. Also the brother he so kindly locked up went insane. EamonnPKeane 18:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
