[edit]

The water percentage of "0.7" was added with no source by an account from with only 3 contributions which all seem to be misguided. After research, I could not find a single source which claims the same number. There is no official number for the water area of Saudi Arabia. 99.64.160.215 (talk) 01:35, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Context

[edit]

While context is always a good thing, providing due weight to all the inter-connected events that shape history, it cannot be used as an excuse for editorialising and original synthesis. If the article is to say that one thing affected the other, then a reliable source is needed that actually says this, connecting the events and issues. It is not acceptable to cite the two separately and say, or suggest, that one influenced the other, unless a source does.

Wikipedia also doesn't tell the reader what's important to remember or consider. It lays out the facts, given appropriate weight and cited, and lets the reader determine what's important. Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Real ruler of Saudi

[edit]

A few times in the modern history section of the article, it says "the king does this" or "the king does that". I wish to point out that it is not actually the king doing these things, but the crown prince (called MBS). Is there a good place to put that information?

Where? There's no part in the modern history section about any event after King Salman's (and MBS's) ascension to power. High surv (talk) 22:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's true. I suppose this isn't completely necessary, though I thought it would be interesting. Loymdayddaud (talk) 04:12, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error

[edit]

"Success" is repeated in the government and politics section. Somebody with the authority should fix this. 173.49.200.61 (talk) 01:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
