editI'm not happy that this recent edit doesn't cite whether Karam (a)regards himself as an Arab (b)uses an Arabic translation of his name in day to day life. As far as I know, he has never made any big deal about his Lebanese origin. Is the translation accurate? I would have more justification in reverting the edit if, for example the Arabic phrase was offensive. Akld guy (talk) 20:21, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- The translation appears accurate, but some names such as Joseph can be translated in different ways. I have no idea about whether he uses the Arabic form. —Stephen (talk) 23:13, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. Another editor has in the meantime removed the Arabic with edit summary "rm Arabic, no demonstrated relevance", so I intend to leave it at that.
- Resolved. Akld guy (talk) 23:22, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
