"The"

I'm in my late sixties, and I think this is the first time I've ever seen it called "Anglo-Egyptian Sudan", rather than "The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan". 104.153.40.58 (talk) 01:18, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference between the two Wikipedia articles on Anglo-Egyptian Sudan?

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between this article and the article "History of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan?"

The introduction to this article says "This article is about the administration of the Sudan between 1899 and 1956."

But I see very little about the administration. It mostly seems to be about history - a lot of it before 1899 when Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was created. SylviaStanley (talk) 13:29, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In 2014 in this talk section I think there was agreement that this article should be rewritten (talk since deleted by Missvain). One comment was that this is a strange article. I offered to rewrite it and collect suitable references. I have collected some references (see under Bibliography) and propose rewriting the article now.

I propose moving most of the history stuff to "History of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan" and expanding the administration stuff.

Or should the history of Sudan before the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium be spun off into a separate article? The article "Sudan" has sections on this period. Maybe that's enough?

Does anybody have any objections to me rewriting this article?

Chiming in to say it wasn't deleted. It was archived. After a few months we can archive discussions no longer being engaged to keep the talk pages clean since most archiving bots are dead. Regardless, you can simply search for whatever you want in the archive search box at the top or browse the archive using the links provided. Missvain (talk) 17:45, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
