Variants[edit]

Jinn and Djinn are variant transliterations of the same Arabic word. It is superfluous to have two separate articles.

It can be debated which of the two should be selected for heading of the article. (Personally, I should prefer Jinn.)

Jinn is the plural; the singular is jinni.

Genie - Changes[edit]

I've moved the short case-study 'Genie' from the page of that name, allowing that page to take the text from Jinni. Not only was it intuitively appropriate, but some 30 internal links to Genie virtually all refer to genies, not Feral children. Heenan73 17:51, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Dab page[edit]

I have redirected this to the dab page which now contains 4 items. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 15:33, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There can be any number of ambiguous entries. The base name points the the primary topic if there is one, and to the dab page if there isn't. In this case, the primary topic is the topic covered by the article at Genie. If you'd like to have the disambiguation page Jinni (disambiguation) move to the base name (here), now that it's obviously controversial, please see WP:RM. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:11, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
