Talk:Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah

too much POV
Reads like a press release with opinionated language like "has been at the forefront where formal school education is concerned", "phenomenal increase", "well connected", "beautiful beaches", "fast and efficient", etc. wikipediatrix 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Date of Battle of Ras al Khaima
The article incorrectly dates this as 1819. The correct date is 1809, as stated in the linked article. I have corrected this. Ptilinopus (talk) 22:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Ras Al Khaimah
A recent edit/revert raises an interesting point. Ras Al Khaimah in English is three words, all starting in caps. That's in UAE media, government websites, road signs and all. The only usage of Ras al-Khaimah I can find derives in some way from Wikipedia. I'm suggesting a move, basically, to Ras Al Khaimah. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:31, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Ras al-Khaimah → Ras Al Khaimah – per above and also this attempt to change the title; this indeed seems to be the name that is most commonly used in English (the WP:COMMONNAME). Many reliable sources reporting on this place as a tourist destination. wbm1058 (talk) 09:03, 22 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Support renaming it to Ras Al Khaimah. The Ras Al Khaimah Government spells it this way and so do most sources. Elspamo4 (talk) 20:50, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

So can we sort of get on and do this? Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:31, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

No Rain in June?
It is strange Howcome RAK doesn't recieve any raindrop in June, whereas the other months it does? Last time I was there on June 21, 2019, it actually rained in RAK, wasn't that recorded?
