the battle itself can be characterized as a massacre, given the lopsided losses, but there was no separate or surrounding massacre, as implied in the lede); also the "pincer movement" statement is rather strange, since the French were stretched along a line, and the column moved straight on
Marrakesh, so not sure what that means. Al-Hiba was not a governor, nor did he nor his army make any march on Casablanca; he entrenched himself in Marrakesh; it was the French who came down from Casablanca to dislodge him. Not sure who compared it to Waterloo. I am in the process of rewriting the whole thing with more details which, when finished, will probably be a 5x expansion.

196:* Contains several questionable statements. I am in the process of rewriting its content and adding more references. Can promotion be held off until this is completed (prob. later today)?

from 6,454 bytes on 4 November 2012, to 23,637 bytes as of 27 November 2012, with over a dozen brand new refs. I added ext. link to Google books preview confirming the hook. Good to go.

Given the assertion of questionable statements, I think it's best that we put a hold on this, though the promised edits have not yet been made.
