Image

Mbz1, did you create the image used in this article? Let me guess, you used a mac? Because the Arabic is completely broken, and it's written backwards. I suggest either remove that part of the image, or use a screenshot rather than copy-pasting the text. Yazan (talk) 20:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How dare you to say that my Arabic is "completely broken" ?!!? Well, it is broken :-) The thing is that I may not take a screen-shot. It will be a copy-right violation, if I do. Anyway I used a different text. Is it any better now? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, not really. You see the problem (probably) is that your image editor does not support RTL complex languages like Arabic. I'll try to fix it tonight. (Either that, or them aliens are taking their fight to the next level). Yazan (talk) 10:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Yazan (talk) 11:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Am I reading it correctly that File:Jafr_alien_invasion.jpg is an artist's impression of what a newspaper article might have looked like? (An earlier version of the image used a US Defence Department illustration from 1955, and is now using a heavily photoshopped image of a Canadian UFO visitor centre.) This seems very misleading, if the original Al-Ghad story either used a different image or never printed one. I'll go ahead and cut it. --McGeddon (talk) 12:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Editing the article

The article might appear at the Main page. Please discuss all changes before making those.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all sources use some kind of image. Why wikipedia should be different?--Mbz1 (talk) 05:07, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to tweak the caption to clarify things a bit, maybe it's too clear now though? Qrsdogg (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
