Perhaps not, but unfortunately the removal can be construed as vandalism if it's done repeatedly without discussion, despite being asked to discuss the matter on the talk page. With regard to whether Ruby "represents" Egyptian culture; this is a value judgment, one with which Egyptians would certainly have varying opinions. A recent article on the topic for example indicated that Egyptian youth regard Ruby and the football/soccer player Beebo (full name?) as the most interesting people in Egypt. So it cannot be denied that Ruby has a very large following. In any event, the placement of the picture is not meant to represent Egyptian culture, only to show an aspect of it. As to the picture of Zewail, I didn't remove it and I have no objections to it, but I don't think it's appropriate for a culture section (he's a chemist). — [zɪʔɾɪdəʰ] · t 22:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
