Missing heading

Where did all this stuff about a "non-violent revolution" come from? My history textbook reckons that rural demonstators killed a number of British soldiers and that more than 800 Egyptians were killed. Less violent than some, sure, but some sort of Ur-text of nonviolence? Ourcatastrophe (talk) 15:26, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for a title change

As per the discussion on the talk page for 2011 Egyptian revolution (Talk:2011_Egyptian_revolution#Revolution_or_revolution), perhaps this article should be retitled to 1919 Egyptian revolution. Matt (talk) 01:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian deaths

The article presently records in separate sections that 800 and 3,000 Egyptians were killed in the disturbances of 1919. Is one of these figures incorrect, or was the total 3,800 deaths? Buistr (talk) 09:49, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Balance??

The present article lists grievances of Egyptians beween 1914 and 1918 but fails to put the situation in context. Egypt was under attack by the Ottomans and their allies on two sides, from the Sinai Desert and from the Western Desert, with German aircraft flying over Cairo. Defence of the country was in the hands of the British, who suffered many casualties to protect the Egyptians from a régime some might have welcomed as liberators but many would have abhorred. In what ways would an Ottoman victory have improved the political and economic situation of the country? --Clifford Mill (talk) 11:57, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian revolution of 1919 → Egyptian Revolution of 1919 – Established name. – Article editor (talk) 05:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:08, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Article editor and Dicklyon: There is no suggestion in these articles or their talk pages that any of these are proper names. Quite the contrary, e.g. at Talk:Egyptian_revolution_of_2011#Requested_Move_.28June_2013.29 where the name was made up "for consistency". Therefore, per WP:NCCAPS, moving to lowercase was uncontroversial, and moving back would not be. Dicklyon (talk) 05:39, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose not a proper name. Baking Soda (talk) 22:14, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – looking at sources, "Eqyption Revolution" does not seem to be treated as a proper name, nor a part of a proper name like the proposed title. Dicklyon (talk) 23:09, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not a proper name. Insert CleverPhrase Here 21:42, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
