Damietta's industries[edit]

The Industry section mentions one of Damiatta's economic sectors as being "Pattisiare".

This means nothing in English; the tiny handful of Google hits for this term point either to this article or to one of the various parasitic sites that profit by redistributing Wikipedia's content.

Unless someone can amend "pattisiare" to something meaningful, this item on the list should be deleted.

Additionally, Damietta's export furniture industry is immensely vibrant, and is exceptionally productive compared with the remainder of Egypt's economy -- to the extent that the city's level of unemployment, by contrast with the rest of Egypt, stands at just over 0%. Its activities deserve fuller treatment from someone more knowledgeable about the details than I am.

"Pattisiare" seems to have been removed by now. Zezen (talk) 08:22, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Damietta's History[edit]

I certainly think some mention should be made here to indicate that John/Jean de Brienne, King of Jerusalem (and later Emperor of the Latin Kingdom), was involved in the attack upon Damietta and the later distruction of the army. Thanks, Ronald L. Hughes69.92.23.64 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC). May I ask why the above information is not yet a part of this article? It is a reported historical fact/event, and mentioned in numerous sources! Why the exclusion?69.92.23.64 (talk) 21:18, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Ronald L. Hughes[reply]

Well, almost the entire history section is about the crusades. It also links to the Siege of Damietta article. (Although I suppose John of Brienne is a lot more important than the completely random people who are currently mentioned...) Adam Bishop (talk) 02:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Christian POV[edit]

Most of the current history relates to Crusades, Latin titular bishops etc. Let us trim it, and enhance the post-1400s section, to restore NPOV. Zezen (talk) 08:23, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
