Article name

User:Cplakidas moved the page Khazar–Arab Wars to Arab–Khazar Wars on 15 October 2012 stating: by far the preferred form, especially in the more relevant bibliography (Brook, Mako, etc).

Google web hits are far greater for Khazar–Arab Wars than Arab–Khazar Wars (67,900 cf. 9,110). However, the result on Google books is the other way round, 223 cf. 72.

"Brook" refers to The Jews of Khazaria at Google Books

I am therefore completing the renaming done by User:Cplakidas by changing remaining mentions within this article and in the page Khazars. – Fayenatic London 20:03, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Google web hits are not a reliable indicator, as there is a great number of Wikipedia clones out there, which would naturally reflect the former name. Constantine ✍ 20:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
