thread_title:  Close paraphrase 

message: First - keep in mind the rather well known blogs about the Baha'i Faith in Egypt do not count well as references in wikipedia (though worth reviewing for hints where to look for more substantial information or perhaps they could help track down reliable refs) That being the case here are some refs that do or refer to content that should be wikilinked. Some of these refs are small, some large... reviewing these will help a lot I think.

thread_title:  more sources 

message: Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #73: "ISBN-13 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the entry:
Inas Elhindy (2009). Bicar...Recitals In Painting. published by the Supreme Council of Culture in Egypt. 
I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. If we had the bibliographic information in the original language, we could find the correct ISBN more easily. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 04:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
