message: Most websites I googled claim "Al-Uqsur" means "the city of palaces", obviously the "Al" stands for "the" and the romanization did not need the "L" in "Luxur", "uxur" was enough... Anyway, I cannot give an exact reliable reference for this, what shall be done? I had though the latin "luxus" which derived into "Luxury" and such words would be related but seemingly it comes from "luctari" which means "wrestle, strain." Nonetheless any historic cases of folk etymology follow this line of thought?Undead Herle King (talk) 03:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The history section appears to stop in the Roman period.  Especially given that we have a separate article on Thebes, shouldn't the history section at least give some information about the modern town? john k (talk) 14:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The "History" section is basically repeating the history of Waset/Thebes, for which we have an own article. It does not contain any information on Luxor itself. Has it always been there since anquitity? Was it founded much later on top of old ruins? What was its role before becoming a tourist center? Has it been a center of Upper Egypt in Christian and Muslim times or was it more like a fishing village?
Even the Arabic article does not help much. Does anyone know sources to fill this gap? Thank you. --Magadan ?! 12:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

message: The article's main photo of Luxor Temple (by Mahmoud algazzar) looks very inauthentic and has some heavy artifacts, as if generated or upscaled by an AI (although the year of upload would suggest otherwise). Even if that isn't the case, perhaps a clearer image could be used as the main one instead? 2001:1AE9:262:4400:E1EF:B881:2543:80EE (talk) 22:59, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
