-== So what to do to make this a featured article? ==
+www.egypttravelers.com
-I would like to know the reasons of this article's delisting from the good articles criteria. In addition, it would be really helpful to know what is needed to make this article a featured one.  It would be great if suggestions and criticisms are mentioned in order to enhance this article's quality. --[[User:Mohamed Abdel Mageed|Mohamed]] 08:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
-== Unicode Hieroglyphs ==
-To anyone having trouble viewing the Unicode Hieroglyph Characters: You must download and install the font "Aegyptus" and view the page in either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Support in the Opera browser is not good at the moment. [[User:Wikilackey|Wikilackey]] ([[User talk:Wikilackey|talk]]) 20:49, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
-== Emergency Law ==
-From the info box: "Semi-presidential republic under Emergency Law (Law No. 162 of 1958)[1] since 1967, except for an 18-month break in 1980."
-How does an 18-month break fit into one year? --[[Special:Contributions/92.230.100.174|92.230.100.174]] ([[User talk:92.230.100.174|talk]]) 10:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
-== The Gift of the Nile is from Herodotus ==
-In the section on climate, the famous phrase The Gift of the Nile is a paraphrase of the Greek historian Herodotus, who called Egypt "the gift of the river".  The entire sentence reads as follows:
-“For even though a man has not before been told it he can see at once, if he has sense, that the Egypt to which the Greeks sail is land acquired by the Egyptians and a gift of the river.”  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/208.73.31.50|208.73.31.50]] ([[User talk:208.73.31.50|talk]]) 18:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-I would like to include the following line in the religion section please:

-== Amendments to the Religion Section ==
-Mohamed Hassanien Heykal and Anwar el Sadat were not shia muslims...this is speculation from the editor please remove it or allow me to challenge its authenticity  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/194.79.99.69|194.79.99.69]] ([[User talk:194.79.99.69|talk]]) 10:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:Per the above comment, I removed the following section:
-:{{xt2|Important figures in the current Egyptian society seem to have been Shia in their faith, but practicing [[taqiyya]] or religious [[dissimulation]] for their own protection and ambitions. These include president [[Anwar el-Sadat]] and former editor of the [[Al Ahram]] newspaper, [[Mohammad Hassanein Heykal]], among others. There is no possibility to prove or disprove such claims, given the currently charged, anti-Shia atmosphere in that country.}}
-:[[WP:BLP]] doesn't apply here (both individuals are deceased), however the paragraph was [[WP:CITE|uncited]], and I believe falls into the "extraordinary claims require exceptional sources" category.

-== Shia Minority ==
-This section does not adhere to a neutral point of view and gives no references. --[[User:Voiceofplanet|Voiceofplanet]] ([[User talk:Voiceofplanet|talk]]) 22:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

-== Excessive? ==
-Why are 25 citations necessary for the single sentence "There is a large minority of Christians  in Egypt, who make up around 10% of the population."? Is this not a little superfluous? --[[User:Ahuja91|Ahuja91]] ([[User talk:Ahuja91|talk]]) 19:33, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
-== "In land area, it is about the same size as all Central America" ==
-Egypt is actually almost twice the size of Central America. It is more comparible in size to Bolivia or Colombia, a bit smaller. Or slightly larger than Venezuela.
-Can someone fix that? :)  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/77.251.187.104|77.251.187.104]] ([[User talk:77.251.187.104|talk]]) 13:14, 14 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
