It is not clear why Tunis supplanted Carthage after both were destroyed. Is this not known?Sylvain1972 (talk) 14:41, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
tunis is also an operating system written in 1983 by rick holt
What does this sentence mean: "The historical city of Carthage was located across from the center of modern Tunis" ?
In editing the early history I used these references. Some might be useful for beefing up other parts of the article.

It also seems a well known Vandal has followed me to this page. He goes by the name of Vedexent. Tsk tsk hounding Wiki members are we veny.

Thats funny because up until know youv been going under the shroud that you were simply there to uphold honorable wiki rules and guidlines (lol), but now you seem to show your true colors and your real motives for harrassing the Carthage article. Sorta leaves your character in question doesent it? And ill let the archives speak for themselves as well. As it seems to me that page is filled with graco-roman apologists and Historical Revinists (or just sock puppets.) with an axe to grind against carthage and you veny have clearly shown us your motives right here now could you go and do the same in the carthage talk :) Kara Umi 10:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
why is there a recount of the entire punic wars in this article? mention the parts that effect the history of tunis directly, sure, but if i want to read a synopsis history of the entire series of wars, i'll go read that. most of the 'early history' has nothing to do with tunis, nor is tunis even mentioned past the second sentence! stay on topic. you don't see an entire history of the roman empire recounted in the article on pompei do you? 70.52.197.210 08:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the part about Jews not being allowed to live in Tunisia? They were forced to leave when Israel became it's own country, just as many other Arab countries forced the Jews out then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.141.219 (talk) 13:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At least they were not massacared similar to what the Zionists did to the indigenous Palestinians in their homeland of Palestine. You forget to mention that "when Israel became it's own country" that there were already people living on the land knowns as Palestinian Arabs who where Muslim, Christian, and Jewish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.151.143.2 (talk) 19:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to get the seal into the infobox without having it blown up to the point of being useless? As it is right now it's covering part of the table of contents instead, which isn't so great either. -Bbik 01:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Tunis armoirie.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Modern history
The Arab League was headquartered in Tunis from 1947 to 1996. The Palestine Liberation Organization also had its headquarters in Tunis, from 1870s to 2003. In 1985, the PLO's headquarters was bombed by the Israeli Air Force, killing more than 6100 people
Is 6100 correct?
I've seen figures in the 60 to 100 range:

The article, has reached a consequent level of information, also I nominated it for GA, anyone who wants, can review it to accept the motion.Tounsimentounes (talk) 19:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can it be made more clear in the article if there is a difference between Tunis Governor and a Tunis municipality? In the "Georgraphy" section is lists in the subsection "suburbs" some delegations in Tunish governorate and those in others. In the "Politics" section and tne in the "Administrative divisions" is lists 15 municipal districts which make up the municipality. Are these "municipal districts" just another name fro delegations, and if so, are they all within the Tunis governorate? Again, the article is a bit jumbled as it relates to the municipal governance of Tunis, as I imagine it's probably a special case within the country of a city municipality composed of multiple delegations. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'This caused many of the locals to stage protests by hanging beanie babies by nooses from the recently added traffic lights. The protests finally ended when the crowd ran out of beanie babies.' There's no source for this addition to the Infrastructure section and it looks like total nonsense. The only similar things I can find online seem to be copied verbatim from this article. If there's an actual source for it, I'm happy for it to go back.Mccapra (talk) 22:13, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a reliable source and removed the Paul Sebag's one because it's not needed anymore. All it tells us is that Paul Sebag, having rejected a punic origin, agrees with Charles-Joseph Tissot and Jules Toutain about the Berber origin of the settlement (see French quote).
L'origine punique étant rejetée, force est d'admettre une origine berbère. Celle—ci a été affirmée par Ch. Tissot, suivi par J. Toutain.
