• ... that, in 2009, the deputy chief of Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency, Faisal bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Saud, became its Minister of Education?

• Article big and new enough. All paragraphs are referenced. Hook is contained in article, referenced and confirmed but one or more of the online texts. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

• I am concerned that some of the phrasing in this article may be too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "called for more coordination among related authorities to help the SCTA to achieve its mission" with "called for more coordination among authorities to help the Commission execute its mission".

• The article's author has made some changes.--Carabinieri (talk) 17:16, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

• The article is still rough, but I think that the issues with close paraphrasing are resolved. I must note that it's difficult to produce an authoritative and originally worded article when the sources are almost entirely either in bad English (it is sometimes hard to discern the meaning behind the words) or weasel-worded speculative statements by foreign observers who can't or won't explain the basis for their speculation. --Orlady (talk) 18:16, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
