It is not pronounced مقروض, it's مقروط and it means diamond shape in Algerian Berber language. It is a typical algerian pastery that was brought to Fes and Kairuán via algerian settlers. Don't change something if you don't have anything to add or any evidence. Stylequick (talk) 14:56, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

If you have a source for this, please add it. Wikipedia is based on reliable sources - not someone's personal knowledge. It seems to me you are the one who is making changes without basis. The information you deleted is sourced and valid, whereas your edits and deletions might be described by some as vandalism. --Geewhiz (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

What are your sourced information Gilabrand ? ... please bring them if you have any, because most of this article was written by me ... and the sources too.

Regarding the name, I don't have a proof except that we say مقروط for anything that is diamond shaped in algerian berber ... and that's how this pastery is called in Algeria , in other arabized places (where people speak arabic and not berber), it is called مقرود, and very few call it مقروض.

Moreover, مقروط is found in all algerian cities and there are more than 10 variants in Algeria.

In Tunisia you can find it in Kairuán (Where many algerians setteled) with the most standard recipe, it is not popular in other places in Tunisia , many people think that it is of tunisian origin because Tunisia organized a celebration of this pastery for touristic purposes.

In Morocco, it is not popular, and you can only find it in Fès (where many algerians settled after the arrival of turks / french and brought with many many other pasteries like Mhencha or Baklawa (Ottoman origin)).

I forgot to mention that Jews of Algerian origin (because there are none left in Algeria today) prepare this pastery for religious celebration like rosh hashana.

The french version of the article and it's corresponding discussion page are worth looking at. Stylequick (talk) 17:26, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

You wrote the article? Funny claim... It's been around for years and I don't see your name anywhere in the history. Before you started deleting everything and adding your own unsourced and poorly written material, the article had 7 references. I added an eighth reference today which you also deleted without explanation. Seems to me that in addition to adding OR, you have reverted more than three times, which is against Wiki rules. I am not saying you are wrong regarding the pronunciation and other assertions, but the way English Wikipedia works is that you have to back up these statements with reliable sources. It could be that French Wikipedia is less strict on that, but c'est la vie. This is English Wiki and if you want to contribute, you will have to do some research and find solid references.Geewhiz (talk) 18:17, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
