A fact from Cyrenaica appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 September 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Pentapolis of North Africa is believed to be the birthplace of Saint Mark the Evangelist?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/September.

Wikipedia

Merger 1

The article "Pentapolis" is a verbatim copy of most sections of the "Cyrenaica" article, and provides no new or specific information on the Pentapolis itself. As such, it is redundant. If no objection is noted or significant material added to the Pentapolis page, I'll turn it into a redirect page. Cplakidas 23:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Pentapolis (North Africa) has information about a part of Cyrenaica and these are not included in the article Cyrenaica

Including the information you mentioned is important to explain relationship between Pentapolis (North Africa) and Cyrenaic.

The article Pentapolis (North Africa) is being developed to include information about the history of the Eparchy as part of both the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church.

I am in favour of keeping them separate. --Ghaly 19:45, 22 September 2007 (UTC) Your Stupid[reply]

I redirected Pentapolis (North Africa) to here a few days ago--Ghaly 21:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger 2

I suggest moving the content from Barqah into this article and making Barqah redirect here. The material, much of which is already here, would fit nicely in the Islam section, and wouldn't make this article much longer. In other words, merger would heal an unnecessary content forking. --Bejnar (talk) 21:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British 1900s-1919

There is nothing mentioned here about the British claiming Territory during the time of World War I. Please add something about this clearly in the Modern History section. Vadac (talk) 19:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language?

What was the main language of Cyrenaica before Arabic? Did they speak Greek, or perhaps Coptic?
