• Comment I don't think it is reasonable to use "Saudi Arabia", when the country didn't exist until 1932. Perhaps something like "present-day Saudi Arabia" or "what is now Saudi Arabia". Edwardx (talk) 10:38, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

• Edwardx: Thanks for your comment. I agree with you and I had to be more careful about it. How about using "First Saudi State"? Mhhossein (talk) 11:42, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
