This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

58th in the infobox

I've 'again' restored 58th in the Prime Minister infobox. The numbering is on the infobox of all Shafik's predecessors. User:Mewulwe is merely reverting it, to be spiteful. GoodDay (talk) 17:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We've agreed to delete the numbering from all the Egyptian PM infoboxes. GoodDay (talk) 18:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of Shafik vs. Shafiq

In any Romanization of Arabic, kaf and qaf remain two distinct letters. In my opinion, Shafiq is preferred because more correct, with an "also spelled" for the variant "Shafik". The IPA seems correct, though obviously I don't speak Arabic. What is your take on this? Wakari07 (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
