[edit] Mubarak

Not particularly important, but I think the Hosni Mubarak stuff was relevant - it was the response to Sadat's assassination and ought to be included, especially since it continues the pattern established by Sadat of repressing Islamists. Graft 01:22, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Where's the real picture?

A black-and-white picture of the Carter, Begin, and Sadat standing in line? What? Let's have that picture where Begin and Sadat are shaking hands with a smiling Carter behind them! - Hbdragon88 05:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The dates at the beginning of this article may be wrong, and at any rate are phrased in a confusing manner. This really needs to be fixed.

I think a color picture was not put up in order hide his clear African characteristics.--Mrman2 23:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

That infobox in the article was quite a mess. I took the liberty to work on it and I think it's looking better now. However, it's still lacking the Prime Minister. Maybe someone could check on that. I'm not sure how to add that. Thanks! ;) --Maxl 16:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

There is a misnomer in this article. The Egyptian people are not Arab. They identify with the Arab world and consider themselves Arab, but this does not make it so. The Egyptian People are a racial mix of Black North Africans, Nubians, and varios other peoples. They are not really racially Arab. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oji The Unseen (talk • contribs) 21:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

An Arab is simply someone whose first language is Arabic... a descriptor that does apply to the vast majority of Egyptians. --Nicole Javaly

[edit] photo

Once again. Anwar Sadat deserves better than that crappy photo of him, Carter, and Begin standing in line. Can we please somehow acquire a color copy of that famous handshake? The B&W one that was put up was removed due to a lack of source info, and anyway the color version IMO is much better. - Hbdragon88 04:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I think there is no harm in keeping both images, but we also want to make sure we are not faced with the same situation that happened when all the images were removed — Zerida ^ 21:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

What was the story Zerida?--Zleitzen 21:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

If you check the history you'll find that the page had many images until an admin stepped in to clear and subsequently put most of them up for deletion as part of an encyclopedia-wide clean-up. Because of the insistence on keeping the image of the American production (see reverts between admin and user), the Egyptian film poster was apparently deleted. I think it's legitimate to have one of the Egyptian production if only one of the images are allowed to stay. — Zerida ^ 21:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to find all kinds of ways in which the two pictures could be incorporated into the article, but you're right, there is no room for two and the Egyptian production must take precedence. --Zleitzen 00:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change of Article Name required! Should read ANWAR AL SADAT

As Anwar Al Sadat carries the "Al" (Arabic: ال) in his name, this encyclopaedic entry should do justice to the correct and factual citing of names, having the missing name fragment duly added! The Article should thus read "ANWAR AL SADAT". (In comparison we would not speak of Charles Gaulle, when referring to Charles de Gaulle, would we??). Additionally the inherent Arabic phonetics ought to be mentioned here: In Arabic the name is pronounced Anwar As'Sadat (ASSADAT) the L remaining silent. The name will never be cited as "Anwar Sadat", while the last name SADAT, without the preceding Arabic article "Al" (the) is often used, however only when standing alone. Someone ought to create an article ANWAR AL SADAT and have this article redirected to it! Pantherarosa 21:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. You could easily have done it yourself by "move". --Maxl 19:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Picture

• I put a more appropiate image of the former president on the page. Elhombre72 00:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

Seems to be los of bias in this article, most obviously the scentance "He was a great leader." slipped in at the end of "During Nasser's Presidency".
