Talk:El Qurn

Name
This is a great point - many of the places in database for Ancient Egypt don't have their proper Arabic names, just their transliterations. Markh 09:20, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Articles with unsupported titles
Is it really necessary to insist on the lower-casing of the definite article so emphatically? There are a lot of other Arabic names in Wikipedia which just go for capitalized "Al-". AnonMoos 03:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Contradiction about access to peak
The third and fourth paragraphs contain information that is contradictory. The bulk of the paragraphs is given to information about how to climb the peak. But tucked into the last of the third paragraph is this: "The climbing of the mountain is no longer allowed by the government of Egypt and is heavy patrolled by guards, cameras, and motion sensors." Notably, no sources are provided for any of the article, so it's impossible to know whose authority is being invoked here, much less how accurate it is. Unless someone wants to advocate for a different approach, I am going to combine the two paragraphs, and then add the odd sentence at the end, couching it as unreliable.
