[edit] Arab world

Hi,

Thanks for your comments on my talk page. Reagrding Arab Nation, I think a brief mention in this article is appropriate, while some of the information you put in (and I deleted) could be put in a new article with that subject.

Reagrding Indian Ocean, I have two problems: first it makes it sound as if there is continuity from the Med to the Indian Ocean, which is not the case. And I would argue that while the Comoros is a member of the Arab League, like Somalia and Djibouti it is not generally considered part of the Arab world, mainly because the population is not predominantly Arabic speaking.

On the gulf, the policy is to use the most usual name for English speakers. Wehn talking of the region, it is most common not to mention whose gulf it is (Gulf cooperation council, Gulf Arabic etc.). But the body of water is the Persian Gulf. May be change to: from Atlantic to the Indian Ocean (where there is continuity), to avoid giving the ineviatble offence?

All the best,

[edit] Egypt

I don't have an issue with the rest of the changes but referring to the 1952 Free Officers movement as "THE Egyptian Revolution" is most certainly not neutral nor accurate. It merely reflects an opinion, a pro-Nasserist one, which is fine otherwise, but the nature of Wikipedia is that articles must remain neutral. It totally glosses over the 1919 revolution which many Egyptians would argue is a revolution in the sense of being staged by the people rather than the army, but regardless of the view on the topic, the article must remain neutral on the issue, and referring to the 1952 revolution as "THE" Egyptian Revolution is not. It is an opinion, a politically laden one similar to the term "Arab Nation" (though Arab World is fine). Furthermore, articles' lead sections need to follow the guidelines, as I already mentioned.

I encourage you to take your time to peruse WP:NPOV, WP:CON and other policies, and to use the articles' talk pages as much as possible to build consensus. Massive changes to established articles or undoing the work of others, esp. by new users, frustrates other editors who have taken the time to work on those articles, and can lead to your changes being reverted. — Zerida 18:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop being so hostile and learn to conduct yourself a little more civilly. I don't know how many times I have to explain that lead sections need to follow the guidelines above. There is no article titled The Egyptian Revolution so it does not make sense to change the lead to reflect something that does not exist. And your insistence on describing the event as the Egyptian Revolution to the exclusion of others is not only POV but borders on WP:OR since it is presented with little more than fanfare to substantiate it with reliable sources. The term "1952 Revolution" is frequently used simply so as to distinguish it from the 1919 event, hence the article title which I did not create. I am not going to dignify the rest of your diatribe with a response. — Zerida 01:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of WS

Hi Louse. You have made some changes to the flag of WS. As you can see from the article history, there is an editor (actually a reverter), Reisio, who is constantly reverting changes made by others(Juiced Lemon, Wikima, me, and recently you). The flag in question is that of the auto-proclaimed Sahrawi republic declared by the Polisario front. Western Sahara is a territory in dispute between the kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario. For Morocco, the flag of WS is that of Morocco, and for the Polisario, the flag if that of Polisario. When the Polisario flag was created, the territory was called "Spanish Sahara" and not "Western Sahara". So the version I restore is NPOV, and states that the flag in question is that of the SADR not WS.--A Jalil 03:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Egypt. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Egyegy 08:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
