"Success" is repeated in the government and politics section. Somebody with the authority should fix this. 173.49.200.61 (talk) 01:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The topographic map seems to be outdated since it had the previous borders of Yemen and Iraq. Does anyone have a better source? A Fool1212 (talk) 11:14, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues and classification

[edit]
  • Reassess article to C-class.
The article currently fails the WP:B-class criteria #1): The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited., possibly #2): The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies, and #4): The article is reasonably well-written.
The article is in the following categories:
  • Articles containing potentially dated statements from 2013
  • Articles containing potentially dated statements from October 2018
  • Articles with unsourced statements from February 2020
  • Articles with unsourced statements from September 2020
  • Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes from June 2023 in the "Human rights" subsection
  • Articles with unsourced statements from January 2024
The sourcing issue is enough but adding potentially dated statements, NPOV issues, and dangling sentences, that are sentences added after a source.
  • The last sentence of the third paragraph of "Saud dynasty and unification" subsection.
  • The first and second paragraphs of the Biodiversity subsection.
  • The "Administrative divisions" subsection.
  • The fifth and seventh paragraph of the "Economy" section.
  • Third paragraph of the "Health care" subsection.
  • First and second paragraphs of the "Women in society" subsection.
  • Second paragraph of the "Heritage sites" subsection.
  • The "Cuisine" paragraph.
  • The first paragraph of the "Sport" subsection
The External links section has six links.
The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.
  • ELCITE: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
External links This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.
Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
    • Please note:
  • WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

Semi-protected edit request on 23 December 2024

[edit]

The flag has always been dark shaded, and the wiki article had that, why did it change now? Without any official reason Povinkan (talk) 01:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I've reverted the edit that changed the flag. Courtesy ping: Dmytrosk2024 '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talkcontribs) 02:00, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
