thread_title: Area? Population?

message: I am looking for someone who speaks Arabic that can lend some assistance to me. As you can see from the Governorates of Saudi Arabia article, I have only been able to find a map of the governorates for the Riyadh emirate. I do not speak Arabic. Can someone who does speak Arabic assist me with finding maps of the other emirates so I may complete the mapping for Saudi Arabia? There are various links for the official emirate sites from the various articles. Thank you! Rarelibra (talk) 17:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Ammar, here are some of the emirate websites:
*Emirate of Al Madinah Official website
*Emirate of Makkah Official website
*Emirate of Jizan Official website
*Eastern Emirate Official website
If you can go to these and find a map of the governorates, I would greatly appreciate it. Or do some kind of search in Arabic for keywords of "Saudi Arabia", "governorate", "map" and let me know what you find. Thanks! Rarelibra (talk) 14:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Help?

message: I wanted to post this yesterday, but User:BrownHairedGirl decided to block me - any evidence to why that should be justified missing. Anyway:
* 2011-12-03 User:Mushroom9 (moved Emirates of Saudi Arabia to Provinces of Saudi Arabia over redirect) 
** without any discussion nor explanation
* 2014-01-04 User:Zahiralbarqi moved page Provinces of Saudi Arabia to Regions of Saudi Arabia: http://www.statoids.com/usa.html 
* 2014-01-27 User:Androoox adjusts the page content, adds reference for "region" 
** also individual pages are renamed, e.g. 
* 2014-02-09 01:59 User:Androoox proposes to rename the category, one month after page move 
* 2014-02-09 23:04 User:Fayenatic london adds a further reference

thread_title: Naming

message: All region articles are now in a state, as if a vandal had run through. See this. And s/he doesn't even seem to bother to fix this. Androoox (talk) 09:20, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Androox, the history is set out on your talk page. You were warned to revert your out-of-process categorisations or be blocked, but you chose not to do.  You had not left edit summaries detailing which edits had recategorised, I used rollback, as I had warned you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:50, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

text: Disagree If anything WP:BRD was served. You were bold, You were reverted, you were bold again, you were blocked, and you are not discussing.  BrownHairedGirl is an administrator, and based on the end runs around the process I'm seeing, I have no problem with renaming this section to "Massive disruption by Androoox" as that's more algned with the facts of the situation.

message: Question. Were the regions reorganised or something? I see various maps that show the Asir, Najran, and Eastern province boundaries as fairly different.--Expertseeker90 (talk) 15:36, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copy/paste mistake 

message: In the introduction: "officially the Emirates of the Provinces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia".
This is incorrect. The emirate is the governor's office of the province, not the province itself. It's a specific body of government, not an regional division.
In the same way that "the governorship of the state of California" isn't equivalent to "the state of California", the emirate is not equivalent to the province. High surv (talk) 14:53, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
