“Change king salman is the king of saudi arabia and prime minister of saudi arabia to king salman is the king of saudi arabia” “Change Mohammed bin salman is the crown prince of saudi arabia and first deputy prime minister to mohammed bin salman is the crown prince of saudi arabia and prime minister” Waleedxxrashoud (talk) 20:15, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Goldsztajn (talk) 12:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
it's already been changed in the infobox, just not in that image caption in Politics section.

From 26,900,000 inhabitants in 2013 to 38,000,000 in 2022??

On the one hand the article states a population number of approximately 38,000,000 in 2022, on the other hand it states “ The population of Saudi Arabia as of July 2013 is estimated to be 26.9 million, including between 5.5 million and 10 million non-nationalized immigrants”. The discrepancy between 26,900,000 in 2013 and 38,000,000 in 2022 is so large, that I doubt very much that both estimates can be near the facts at the same time. Within the same article, that creates a lot of tension and reduces its credibility.

Or could it be the case that the word “including” has been used incorrectly and should be replaced by “apart from the”?Redav (talk) 01:32, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic is the primary language in Saudi Arabia. Add that information.

 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. Infobox already lists it as the official language, also discussed in the Languages section. What are you requesting? Cannolis (talk) 21:18, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible influence by Saudi Arabia on Administrators - Neutrality

After the reports from NGOs and the press, I'm of the opinion that articles on Saudi Arabia, including the representatives, should urgently be:

marked.

Keep calm. I've watched this article for over a decade and there's no dubious editing from admins. The media reports are confused, mixing up "admins" and "Wikimedia staff. It's also unclear which language WP is concerned. It would be ridiculous to blanket label all WP articles in this way. If you see anything that deserves it, fair enough. But all the KSA articles I see have big chunks on human rights abuse, authoritarianism, corruption and criticism of foreign policy. So if they have "infiltrated" they haven't done a very good job, DeCausa (talk) 11:32, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I already wrote: Who says your personal view is decisive? How do you want to know for sure whether there has been and is being manipulated here? This is a serious issue and also determines the credibility of Wikipedia.--Bildersindtoll (talk) 12:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per policy, to put that tag on you should identify an issue in the article where neutrality is disputed. Have you identified such an issue? DeCausa (talk) 13:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bible: Palestine - phonologically Arabic Filasṭīn (Philistine)

Israel and Philistine battle through the Bible in Holy War. Philistine is a biblical place and part of our religious appreciation through our understanding of God's word in our life.

We should understand why God is supporting who in the Holy War and who will win for what reason. Israel has lost many wars to Philistine through the Bible for rebellious behavior, adultery and idol worship or perversion of true belief. Philistine has won because of Israel's sins through the Bible. Samson killed thousands of men and in the end he died in the arena chained to the walls that fell on him and crushed him. 91.66.104.223 (talk) 21:27, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
