"Nasser's domestic policies were arbitrary and frequently oppressive, yet generally popular. All opposition was stamped out, and opponents of the regime frequently were imprisoned without trial. Nasser's foreign and military policies helped provoke the Israeli attack of June 1967 that virtually destroyed Egypt's armed forces along with those of Jordan and Syria. Israel also occupied the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip. Nasser, nonetheless, was revered by the masses in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world until his death in 1970."
This passage in particular must be revised. --Ce garcon 12:37, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Right now this reads like a History of the Politics of Modern Egypt. Much more could be added in terms of economic history, land reform, cultural change, etc. Let's get to work.

replies: text: Carwil, sounds good!  It would be helpful to me to have something to work towards... are there any country history articles that you think do a good job of being well-rounded?  We might want to apply this also to the History of Egypt page (not just Modern Egypt). --Schwael 14:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no mention of the attacks on the British Protectorate by the Senussi and Sudanese during the First World War. Is this the place for such information or should it go somewhere else?--RoslynSKP (talk) 06:27, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Fix

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :History of modern Egypt's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I would have expected the crucial desert campaign to warrant more than just one line. Valetude (talk) 12:57, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
