Semi-protected edit request on 18 May 2018

Please change the description of the Picture "Typical Bastakiya street in Deira" - to "Typical Bastakiya street in Bur Dubai" as Bastakiya is in Bur Dubai.

[[File:Typical Bastakiya buildings - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Typical Bastakiya street in [[Deira, Dubai|Deira]]]] should be: [[File:Typical Bastakiya buildings - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Typical Bastakiya street in [[Bur Duabi|Bur Dubai]]]]

Proof: Meta-Tags of the Image https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Typical_Bastakiya_buildings_-_panoramio.jpg show that is was taken in Bur Dubai. Shine (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: The location data is not consistent. One metatag gives a set of coordinates that Google Maps locates in Bur Dubai and the other says and another gives a set of coordinates that Google Maps locates in Al Souq Al Kabeer. Since the original file is no longer available, the location given in teh original description will have to suffice for now. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:00, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

It's definitely in Bur Dubai. Souq al Kabeer is on the Bur Dubai side as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.245.198.159 (talk) 20:08, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Dubai is not the largest city. Sharjah is the largest emirate in the UAE. 103.12.8.2 (talk) 05:36, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Largest in what? Population? Area? Please clarify.  spintendo  06:29, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Unreliable Sources

What sources are unreliable on the page? The tag's hardly helpful... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:46, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

It was added by Saqib it looks like. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:53, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

I can't see a reason for the tag and the editor didn't explain it here as per WP:TC, so I'm removing it. If there's a reason for it, feel free to explain/replace though! Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:01, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Dubai City on Wikipedia

From the very beginning of the article very biased mentioning the criticism pertaining to the humans rights. Total unfairness pneglecting the UAE human rights role and people are by nature huminarians people. Please mention UAE role in human appeals, donation bring some authentic information based on in data and true statistics. Very young country achieving these milestones does really bother some others for some reasons Alzarooni79 (talk) 18:04, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Add trailing space 19 august 2018

Could someone with rights please add a trailing space at the end of the description (“one of the seven emirates that makes up the country. [references] “)? When asked about Dubai on an iPhone, the Siri “summary” contains the description, and two sentences of the first paragraph, without a space after punctuation.

@Topologicalinsulators: I am not sure we should be making unnecessary changes in order to make Siri behave in particular ways, but is this what you mean? MPS1992 (talk) 16:02, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
