thread_title:  Why is Abdelhalim classed under converts to Christianity? 

message: Really? 50 women committed suicide after hearing he died. With no citation either. lmfaoo  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.210.156 (talk) 19:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  50 women committed suicide 

message: I have added a fansite tag due to the many violations of WP:PEACOCK added to this article. On a fundamental level this article is unencyclopedic at present. Jusdafax   04:57, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fansite tag August 12, 2010 - article is unencyclopedic at this time 

message: I tried to make the article more encyclopedic. Lots of references did not support the cited facts so I removed them. Removed Arabic spelling of song titles as this is an English language wiki. Improved some reference formats.Wkharrisjr (talk) 20:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up

message: What is the proper name to refer to the subject of the article. For western names, the Wikipedia practice is to give the full name in the lede and then refer to the family name through out the rest of the article. For example: "George Washington, born... Washington was the first president of the United States..." USe of the first name is avoided as it lends a non-neutral, familiar tone to the article.
For Arabic names, what is the proper procedure: do we refer to Abdel, Abdel Halim, Halim or do we use his more familiar stage name Hafez? Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: But is that the proper academic usage. Elvis Presley, a comparable figure to Abdel Halim Hafez, is popularly referred to as "Elvis", but an academic article would refer to him as "Presley". Wkharrisjr (talk) 19:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Proper Name

message: I removed the sentences about reaction to Hafez's death as the sources were 1) from blogs or forums and 2)in Arabic. Published sources like newspapers or magazines are better sources and since this is the English-language version of Wikipedia, it is preferable that sources are in English also.

thread_title:  Reaction to death

message: Too many non-scholarly and emotional phrases are being reverted to the article. Is this a fan page or a scholarly article about Hafez?  Additionally do no use external links in the main body of the article; instead use  referencing to cite sources for the article. If you do not know how to use the referencing tools, check out the appropriate Wikipedia articles and resources (some are listed at the bottom of the editing page.Finally, avoid blogs, fan pages, and the like for sources. Try to stick to reputable and notable sources.
Right now the article reads more like a fan page which in turn makes Hafez appear to the outside reader as a minor, inconsequential figure. If you wnat him to be taken seriously, the article must be upgraded to a more scholarly manner.Wkharrisjr (talk) 18:38, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Is this a fan page?

message: Shouldn't the translation for Nebtedi Minen el Hekaya read: "where should we start the story (where should we start telling the story), not ("If we were to tell the story") which would translate to Lou Kunna han nehki el hekaya... thoughts from more native speakers please, it seems it was translated either by a fellow Egyptian with poor English or by a non-Egyptian. On a side note in the Egyptian form of Arabic story = kissa, and Hekaya = situation however in English that will not translate well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.13.178 (talk) 01:59, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation in song title 

message: I return this article and see that many of the issues I have brought up here remain. The very first ref I checked goes to the Imdb (Internet movie data base) which is not a reliable source. Please refer to  WP:RS to get a better idea of what is needed here. At some point soon this article will have to be fixed. Jusdafax  19:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
