Why is this article entitled "Berkuk"? In the sources I've only ever seen him called Barkuk or Barquq. The name of the article should be what people are most likely to type in the search engine. WP:NC(CN) I recommend the name of the article be changed to "Barquq", since that is the spelling most commonly seen in scholarly publications. Evan Josephson 01:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Al-Maqrizi, Al Selouk Leme'refatt Dewall al-Melouk, Dar al-kotob; According to Cambridge History of Egypt[1] was a Mamluk historian, thus his writing is a primary source and should be used sparingly and only if supported by a secondary source. I have not found any secondary or tertiary sources that support this sentence, "He(Barquq) prepared a large army to fight Timur, but Timur fled when he knew about Berkuk's army, while Berkuk expelled the remaining Mongol-Tatar armies.", which uses al-Maqrizi as its only source. Unless a secondary or tertiary source is produced, the sentence in question will be deleted. --Kansas Bear (talk) 05:09, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
