thread_title:  Picture of the President 

message: It seems to have horrible grammar and some contradictions...
"[...]His first term began on 14 October 1981 and end on 11 February 2011, after he was removed from office by his own people who protested for 18 days to have him removed from office.[...]"
Also, since his first term began in 1981 and ended just now, how come "From September 2005 had been serving his fifth term in office."?

message: According to the Gamal Abdel Nasser article, Nasser served as President 1956 to 1970. Yet this article says 1954 to 1970. Which is the correct info? GoodDay (talk) 15:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The 2005/2007 constitutional amendment section looks like it's a very close paraphrase of the original text of the amendment (e.g., "...the Supreme Constitutional Court shall have the right of prior review of national legislation..."). This section needs to be rewritten to sound more encyclopedic and less legalistic. - dcljr (talk) 22:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done a little copyediting and linking in the section, but it needs more work, I think. (BTW, while doing this, I noticed the bit I quoted above was apparently just commentary on the amendment, not a paraphrase of its contents. Whatever...) - dcljr (talk) 23:13, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ahmad Fathi Sorour 

message: It may not be correct to call him the "elected head of state" ... although we'll all agree that he is a "head of state". 
I don't know whether Mubarak was elected. It seems he was the vice president, and that power was transferred to him after then-President Sadat was assassinated. 
Furthermore, if he remained in office without permitting elections - maintaining power by martial law instead of running for re-election - than isn't he a dictator rather than an elected official?
Finally, if he picks someone as his successor - again bypassing elections - then wouldn't that successor be an unelected head of state? --Uncle Ed (talk) 14:10, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: There is no President of Egypt, the office is currently vacant. Field Marshall Tantawi is not President, effective, acting, or otherwise. He is head of the military council that rules Egypt. That is not the same thing. nableezy - 16:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That still has not changed, Tantawi is not President of Egypt, either official, acting, supposed, or any other adjective you would like to use. The SCAF as a whole exercises the powers of the presidency, and Tantawi is the head of the SCAF. There has been no information, and I mean none, released by any competent authority that says he has any of the powers of the presidency or that he is acting in that capacity. nableezy - 20:08, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

text: Mohamed Morsi isn't president either, at least not yet. His inauguration is planned for June 30th (though his demand to take the oath in front of the currently disbanded parliament puts that up in the air a bit) nableezy - 16:41, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This article entirely whitewashes and attempts to hide the fact that Mr. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi came to power through the overthrow of the president.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonycat (talk • contribs) 00:01, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
