Our article Minister of Foreign Affairs (Egypt) list Boutros-Ghali as serving two times as acting foreign minister, in 1977 and then in 1978–1979, with other people occupying the post from '79 onward. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' own website has separate pages listing former ministers of foreign affairs [1] and former ministers of state for foreign affairs [2], with Boutros-Ghali serving in the latter position from 1977 to 1991. So it looks like these are two distinct positions. Boutros-Ghali held the "state" position for fourteen years and may have stepped in to the other position for brief periods in 1977 and in 1978–1979 (I'm not sure, because he isn't on the ministry's list of plain foreign ministers). In any case, our articles on Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Egypt) and Minister of Foreign Affairs (Egypt) do not seem to reflect the distinction between the offices of minister for foreign affairs and the minister of state for foreign affairs. I'd appreciate someone who knows more about it trying to clarify the difference in our articles. A. Parrot (talk) Join the Months of African Cinema Global Contest! Greetings!

Aprilajune (talk) 02:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC) How do we count Egyptian elections from 1923-1952? I noticed that for the parliamentary elections during the late Kingdom of Egypt, the source used is Politische Organisation und Repräsentation in Afrika: Band 2 Afrika. However, this source (which is in German) misses the 1931 and the 1938 election. I left a section on my main page were I go over the different sources, since each source I find has different numbers. The best one I found was Table II of Appendix II (pages 487 to 489) The Working of Parliamentary Institutions in Egypt, 1924-1952 (1954) by M.F El-Khatib, but this source disagrees almost completely with all the other sources. How should we deal with this? I want to make the 1931 and 1938 election articles but I think we as a whole should decide which source is best for these elections.

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. We hope to see you there! Grnrchst (talk) 11:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC) About a possible English language article for Egyptian poet Samir Darwish ? @DreamRimmer, "Poet Samir Darwish", and Jlwoodwa: Hello all, I've recently WP:U5'd User:"Poet Samir Darwish", but left some comments. It would appear from ar:سمير_درويش and looking at online sources (with, of course, the usual caveats) that Mr Darwish is quite possibly a significant poet and/or a cultural figure in Egypt. I would appreciate your opinions about this. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
