Talk:2011 Egyptian revolution

"Lead Figures" and "Parties to the Civil Conflict" sections

Mohamed Morsi has been added to the "Lead figures" of the revolution section several times now, with no source or explanation given. The problem is that this article is about the revolution of 25/01-11/02, as it clearly states just above this section. Mohamed Morsi wasn't in any way a "lead figure" of this revolution, he became an important political figure far later. If someone wishes to make this claim I would expect that a reliable source is given, especially because of the [policy] on living persons and the recently deceased. No explanation has been given so far on why this unsourced claim keeps being re-added, so I hope this section will encourage a discussion instead of simply reversing again. A few of the other names/groups listed are also questionable, I wish we could go through them all and just keep those for which a good RS is added. I've never heard of Saudi Arabia supporting the revolution, for example. Perhaps I'll work on it myself if I find the time, and I hope others could help out/chime in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azarqa (talk • contribs) 18:10, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Seeing as nobody has said anything to the contrary I've removed Morsi for the reasons mentioned above. Somebody else has removed Saudi Arabia. I'm also removing the Freedom and Justice Party, as it was founded in April 2011 and as such could not have been involved between 25.01.-11.02. I've removed the Egyptian Bloc (founded August 2011) and the Al-Nour Party (founded May 2011) for the same reason. I plan to go through the rest of the people/groups to add citations or remove them. If I do I'll write about it here so please if you disagree with anything discuss here. Azarqa (talk) 05:37, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

• Support The list of revolutions [1] follows the format presented by the nominator, which shows that moving the article would be consistent with other revolutions. --Spekkios (talk) 22:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

2011 Egyptian revolution → Egyptian Revolution of 2011 – Correct form when describing a revolution, not an uprising or protest. WikipedianRevolutionary (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - I can't find any policy to support this move, and WP:CONCISE would lead me to oppose it, as would WP:CONSISTENT with articles provided in the List of revolutions and rebellions. estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:38, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

correct according to what?—blindlynx 21:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Article quality

After over a decade, this article desperately needs to be trimmed. It still reads like one on a current developing news story. It has present tense, detailed timelines, many facts repeated multiple times in different section... What do others think? I think it needs to shrink by around 50% to make it easier to navigate and read, and more useful to our readers. John (talk) 16:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
