[edit] Anglo Egyptian War
This article covers basically the same subject as the Anglo-Egyptian War article. However, this article is better written. Perhaps the two should be combined? Isenhand 05:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Would an alternative to present a focused view on the British military intervention as a sub-article and have an overall picture in this article...? Kernel Saunters 19:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
The best thing would be to write one article, that had proper footnotes to contemporary sources. Its title should be one that people who have read about the conflict from contemporary sources would instantly know what the article was about.--Toddy1 05:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Arabi or Urabi or Orabi
Wikipedia has articles referring to this man either as Orabi or Urabi. Is there any evidence that his name was ever spelled in either of these ways at the time?
All the contemporary sources I have seen spell his name Arabi. That suggests to me that Wikipedia ought to standardise on Arabi.--Toddy1 19:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
