Hadhrami in Madagascar

Hi Abo Yemen! I saw on the article Hadharem that a diasporic map shows Hadhrami emigration to Madagascar. That’s interesting—do you know anything about this, and where I might learn more? ꧁Zanahary꧂ 17:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Zanahary! That map is based on a map from the book “On the Edge of Empire: Hadhramawt, Emigration, and the Indian Ocean, 1880s-1930s” by Linda Boxberger on page 46. The book has a single mention of Madagascar on the next page saying: The Comoros islands and Madagascar also had Hadhrami residents.²³ with citation 23 being a book by Harold Ingrams, Arabia and the Isles, p. 241 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

There is this other paper [1] that also has some mentions of the Hadharem in Madagascar but there seems to be nothing else in English.
As for Arabic sources, there is this obscure site [2] that has somewhat a bit more detail (Machine translation):

Migration to Madagascar: Hadhramis migrated to Madagascar since the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries AD and established an Arab and Islamic influence that continued to flourish until the end of the nineteenth century AD. Arab and Islamic influence moved from Madagascar to the cities of Mozambique located on the Indian Ocean or what is known as the Mozambique Strait, and among these coastal cities are the city of Mozambique, Quelimane and Sofala. Islamic influence in Madagascar began to decline in 1890 AD due to colonial influence in Africa and the occurrence of crises and sharp disputes among the Islamic communities in Madagascar, which ended with what was known as the massacre of the two Comoros in 1976 AD “38”.

Advice about userpages

?Some people add personal information such as contact details (email, instant messaging, etc.), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, etc. Once added, this information is unlikely to ever become private again. It could be copied elsewhere or even used to harass you in the future. You are cautioned to think carefully before adding non-public information to your user page, because you are highly unlikely to be able to completely retract it later, even if you change your mind and no longer wish for the information to be public.?

I think there is too much detail in the infobox you've added. Doug Weller talk 15:26, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

tbh true but its too late ig as it is in the history of the page now. I remember that one time during the Syria flag change someone on twitter mistook my hair color for skin color and made a comment about it there lol 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 15:41, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

You can have things revdelled.

One Wikipedia editor gave enough information about him/herself on his/her userpage that an editor who disagreed with him/her was able to find his/her work address and telephone number, and telephoned him. This very much frightened the editor who told too much about him/herself.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:13, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

That's so messed up.. But I also dont want a poor admin to manually delete about a 185 version [3] of my talk page 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:52, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

I don't understand why you made this now reverted edit

[4] It seems careless. Doug Weller talk 15:29, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

@Doug Weller I am used to editing contentious topics (PIA articles) and usually when ips/new accounts send messages in talkpages where there is some sort of arbitration thingy, their comments get struck. I didn't know that it was the case only in PIA articles only 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 15:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

That's not quite how it works, as non EC editors on PIA talk pagescan make formal edit requests.

In any case, the talk page sanction in this case is about the article, not the talk page. Even IPs can edit the talk page. This is really pretty careless, you need to be more careful. Doug Weller talk 16:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Yeah I am aware that edit requests are allowed but the IPs weren't doing that

In any case, the talk page sanction in this case is about the article, not the talk page. Even IPs can edit the talk page. This is really pretty careless, you need to be more careful.
I really didn't know about that and I've read Daniel Case's reply and hopefully it will never happen again in the future
