[edit] Re: Egypt articles
Hey Egyegy,
Notwithstanding the mutual reverts made my both of us just now, I maintain that it is important for contributors to articles regarding Egypt to edit such articles in a neutral, impartial manner, and in a way which best informs the reader.
The edits I have made to the Egypt page are essentially either:
technical (such as correcting the official name of the country as "Gumhūriyyat Miṣr el-ʿArabiyyah", (Misr rather than Masr, since Masr is the Egyptian Arabic vernacular not the official standard) and placing the modern Arabic names for the country before the anachronistic former names in the now unused Egyptian/Coptic;
the insertion of better English (the introductory paragraph regarding Sinai - Sinai is poorly described as a land bridge TO Asia since it IS in Asia).
However, there are 2 matters of greater concern. Firstly, the removal of mention to the Arab World when it appears next to the term Middle East. Inclusion of this term is common sense, and indeed necessary to inform the reader. It is a larger geo-cultural region to which Egypt is inextricably linked, and as such, its inclusion is factually accurate and important for informative purposes. Its deliberate exclusion can only be symptomatic of a general anti-Arab prejudice by some contributors who seek to deny or downplay the Arab aspect of Egyptian identity. Such acts reflect personal view, not facts, and compromise the neutrality and accuracy of the article. There are further such examples, some oblique but not the less identifiable, which I could cite in articles related to Egypt.
Secondly, the issue regarding the appropriate name for the Revolution of July 23 1952. This issue I have commented on substantially in the Talk section of the 1952 Revolution page, which I have flagged regarding neutrality.
Lastly, I hope you will note that subsequent to your guidance to check lead sections on other articles, I combined previous edits on the Egyptian pound in a form which I do not believe can reasonably be challenged.
As my sole concern is that accurate and fully informative information be placed on these pages, I trust that we share the same objectives. I hope that we will be able to probably analyze the issues raised above in a manner that is impartial and reflects commonly used terms rather than those that betray an ingrained personal prejudice.
Thank you.

[edit] Arabs
Neither you; How did you know that most Egyptians do not consider their selves as Arabs, officially Egypt is an Arabic country either Arabized or ethnically Arab it is still an ARABIC COUNTRY (why Egypt is called أرض الكنانة) Do you know what is Kinana? who are Fatimied who are sa3ayda الصعايدة Why nearly all Egyptians users speak Arabic as mother language, being an Arab does not necessarily means ethnic Arab .Also you can not say there is no one except Bedouins in modern Egypt say we are Arabs!. Any way I do not want to start a new edit war with you. However, next time give solid sources, because your ideas still considered as original research --Aziz1005 22:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Don not remove the neutrality tag this is not acceptable. Your source is not encyclopaedic. The tag is already been put on the other section where the information there are well-known in the Arab world.--Aziz1005 09:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Rubbish! It's sourced more than a gazillion times through the Egypt article to where it links and in the article itself. You are just trolling as usual because you have no clue or idea what're talking about as judging by the nonsense above and are despartely trying to conceal the facts because it causes you to lay awake at night. Too bad! Egyegy 09:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok then keep on dreaming, ask any Egyptian child are you Arab or not, he or she will answer straight away YES I AM ARAB. It is simply fact. Why it is called jumhoreyyat masr elArabia. Anyway do not remove the tag, and I have studies and I don't have enough time to waste it with these nonsense.--Aziz1005 20:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
