Talk:Egyptian Armed Forces

message: Egyptian armed forces is said to be the second strogest in the middle east region, after Israel.How about Turkey? Does Turkey have a weaker military than these countries or do not we count Turkey as a player in the middle east scene?
Thank  you for contribution...
Why is there such a long drawn out compairison of Egyptian Military VS Israel? Do we really need a full paragraph and an economics lession just to say that the Egyptian army is comparable to Isael's army. Couldn't we just say Egypt has one of the most powerfull armies in the middle east/africa?
I'm kind of mixed on it.  I think it's important that we don't just make very general statements, since most of the military articles on Wikipedia are very unspecific, but it doesn't really matter to me either way.
Well , the page of the egyptian army here are outdated for example , it's stated that egypt uses the tokarev while the tokarev has been out of service since ever and there are other things here that are outdated

message: I believe that a new section called "Training, and cooperation" for example would be a very good step to improve the article, and provide even more valuable informations. that can be done by including all training operations with other countries, or as much as possible, and it does not even need to be explained now maybe some one enlists them, and leave the explanation for other members, if he/she does not have time to do it him/her self.

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 :Egyptian Armed Forces'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.

With all due respect to you, you remove almost half of the article why you remove the old army, I know very well that consolidate, start from Muhammad Ali but there are army and navy was established in the era of the pharaohs, we are talking about military history in Egypt not talking about the consolidate of the army, I think that the meaning of the word foundation is to establish the structural and organizational model of the army not the foundation out of nowhere. Regards to you.RabeaMalah (talk) 22:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is about the Egyptian Armed Forces, with a focus on the history of the present entity (Muhammad Ali's Egypt, Kingdom of Egypt, Republic of Egypt, ARE). WP:Reliable Sources repeatedly say that the modern force can only be traced back to Muhammad Ali. There's a whole other article available for Military of ancient Egypt and that article is linked in the very first line of the main part of the article. I have copied this discussion to Talk:Egyptian Armed Forces and I will make all following replies there. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Dear , would you kindly like to explain why the Thunderbolt School is not notable while the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School is? They're both special forces training schools. I'd also be interested to hear why you removed the WP:REDLINKs when we specifically leave them in place to encourage editors to create articles for such entities. Please do comment here. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I only called it a non-notable that it currently does not have any article on Wikipedia and this is what I've learnt from senior editors within my one year experience. In the Wp:Redlinks, it mentions that if the topic of redlink is notable, verifiable by resources - the redlink should be allowed. I suggest to add the redlink but with a reference next to it. My intention was not to hurt. Best. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 10:17, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Military schools and training centres are generally notable. You will find that at WP:NOTABLE the definition is "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." That's got nothing to do with WP:BLUELINK in which an article actually exists or not. WP:REDLINK says "Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject" (or if there's an existing article you could link it to). The issue is, here, that there's not much in English. That's no problem whatsoever; for the Thunderbolt School the memoirs of Egyptian generals in Arabic would be fine, and there are a number of memoirs available.
