Can a moderator please revert the edit to the German Ossuary description? I'm pretty sure there aren't any canadian hockey players buried there.--Alexub 23:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I personally think that this article should be renamed to Al Alamayn to be consistent with other Egypt city articles eg. Al 'Arish, Al Mansurah, Al-Hibah. Maybe redirect from El Alamein? --FarQPwnsJoo 10:07, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
It depends on if your talking about the battle or the town. --El Froggo
Yes, in a historical context El Alamein is correct eg. Battle of El Alamein but the actual city article should be called Al Alamayn primarily.--FarQPwnsJoo 07:17, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cost of war
I largely reworded "Rows upon rows of gravestones stand witness to the folly of humanity fighting and dying for a worthless strip of desert, thousands of miles away from their homelands." because I don't think it was folly to end Axis agression in WWII. Rlevse 17:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name Meaning
Just wondering if anyone knows what Al Alamayn (El Alamein, etc.) means when translated into English?? --Trippz 04:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Means "the two flags", named long before the war and has no signficance to two seperate forces fighting in the region. Mooodi (talk) 15:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
