Saudi Arabia Oil and Resources
I have deleted the page you started at Saudi Arabia Oil and Resources. This is not because it is not appropriate as an article, (I haven't looked into it, I couldn't say) but because you said it would be under construction for a while. Bear in mind that you created that page, viewable to anyone reading the encyclopedia, as an article with no content. Perhaps it would be better to work on the article in a sandbox, then move it into the article space once you have got it up to a reasonable standard? Just a thought. User:Archibaldjloch/Saudi Arabia Oil and Resources may be a good place. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help, and don't forget to reference what you say! Happy editing.

Formatting
To some extent you can create text here and hope that someone else will come and tidy it up. But it is a lot better if you do it right yourself. Oil and energy resources of Saudi Arabia was unreadable because of some pathetically simple errors which you should have never made in the first place and certainly should have corrected yourself. Also the &lt;ref name="&hellip; construct is useful when you have multiple identical references. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
