Talk:Arabian Desert

message: Does this article have the craziest name, or what?
All respects to biologists, but this article is stuffed with the kind of self-important jargon that makes me roll my eyes. Chatoyant 01:36, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

message: The article says: 
::The area is home to several different people, languages and cultures,
This is very interesting to me, being someone that is actually from the region; other than Arabic people, Arabic language and Arabic culture, who else considers this home? --Mahaodeh (talk) 13:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  About Deserts Inside 

message: I'd like to see citations to the extinct state of jackals and striped hyenas in the Arabian Desert. I have seen  jackals on the Tuwayk Plateau and their tracks in the Rub Al-Khali, and hyenas as far north as the eastern Syrian Desert. I realize that this can only be considered anecdotal, but I also know that the statement in the article is not accurate. 96.254.99.188 (talk) 11:17, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations, please, on extinctions 

message: Someone familiar with the topic please fix (at least) this line:  "Very little trees may be found except at the outer margin".  Does this mean "few trees" or that the trees found outside "the outer margin" are stunted or naturally tiny?  Technically it means the latter, but I fear the writers meant to say trees are sparse "except at the outer margin".  64.60.100.162 (talk) 06:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The statement "It is the fifth largest desert in the world" contradicts the page List of deserts by area, which lists the Arabian desert as the fourth largest in the world. Kerrick Staley (talk) 01:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It might contradict other wikipedia articles, but does it matter? It's all shades of grey. Deserts expand and contract continually.92.28.22.15 (talk) 09:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fifth largest or fourth largest? 

message: Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I am confused with a desert having a conservation status. What does it mean? Species in a desert might have a "conservation status", but the desert itself? Unless all the sand/rocks in a desert are excavated for e.g. making new millionaire's islands in the Persian Gulf, then the concept of a desert's "conservation status" is meaningless, and ascribing the word 'critical' to such an expanse of land is somewhat laughable. 92.28.22.15 (talk) 10:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
