Lacking is any mention of the migration of tribes into SE Arabia, such as that of the ruling family in the 16th-18th century. This is the same migration which brought Arab rule to neighbouring eastern Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Certainly this is a central point in the regional history.

Are you referring to the legend of the Azd or the migration of the bedouin tribes in the 16th-18th centuries? The only impact the latter had on omani history is the introduction of the arab bedouins into the country and the ensuing wars between them and the natives Yefa36 (talk) 21:08, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The section on the largest cities in the country is certainly outdated (the website it links to describes Nizwa as having around 72k residents, whereas the corresponding Wikipedia article for the city claims it has a population of around 120k). It should be updated with the most contemporary statistics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.0.192.14 (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oman ( etymology ) The word 'oma (n) is derived from the Sanskrit word' Vama ' which means ' the left side.For example ' Vama Hasta ' means 'the left hand '.The ancient Indian geogographers divided the south coast of the Arabian peninsula into two parts - the left half and the rght half. The left part was called ' Vama' - the left, which came to be called as 'Oman'. Thousands of ancient ships from the west coast of India carrying a variety of spices used to pass through these shores on their way to Aden.

What is the basis for the world map under the Yaruba dynasty subsection?
The caption suggests it is from the 18th century. But it doesn’t make sense. For example, the continent of Australia was never subject to a small territory in the south east corner. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oman's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "imf":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡10:21, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In religion information, it states percentages of each Islam sec ( Sunny, Ibadi, Shai), but there is no source, and Oman does not ask people to identify nor does it conduct publish such stats.
Agreed, most importantly it seems that theyre either intentionally or unintentionally conflating the foreign presence with the citizens of the country so that there seems to be an unusually higher number of sunnis. It is also contradicting the religious demographic section which claims that most omanis are ibadis Yefa36 (talk) 21:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In history, it was never stated when the British withdrew and Oman became their own country. On other sources I've found several different answers, so I don't really know for sure. 97.120.23.227 (talk) 17:29, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
