Hi Al Ameer, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 22 October; largely from a single, reliable source; other sources used look to be reliable also; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in article and checks out (as far as I can tell from my rudimentary French) to the source (albeit the online preview gave me a different page number, I am assuming you may be working from a printed copy?); happy to AGF there are no copyright violations (principal source is in French, others offline, Earwig check is fine); a QPQ has been carried out. My only query is with the "Climate" section, I wasn't sure how I verify the information in it, a search for "Al-Shaykh Badr" at the cited source of "Climate-data.org" doesn't yield anything - Dumelow (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: I removed the table altogether, it's relatively pointless and I also could not verify (I did not add the table). Al Ameer (talk) 18:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine - Dumelow (talk) 19:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
