Saudi Arabic
I noticed this page doesn't exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saudi_Arabic&action=edit but its listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Arabic#Post-Islamic_or_post-Arab_Expansion

Maybe someone can make a small page naming and explaining the different varieties spoken in Saudi Arabia? Just a suggestion. -Mlaheji 08:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

A Virtual Tour of Saudi Arabia
I have been told not to add ‘A Virtual Tour of Saudi Arabia' because I own the site. The site has been on this page, and others in Wiki, in the past and was removed for some reason. The site offers a unique view of Saudi Arabia and has had several articles written about it in Arab papers in the last couple of years. The last article said it was better then the Official site of their Supreme Commission of Tourism.

I would like to know why it was remove a few months ago, if anyone can remember why? Also, why it cannot be included now?

I wrongly assumed the reason it could not be added was I had to become an editor. If to add it I have to resign then I will.

1973 oil crisis is up for Good article review
It may be delisted from its GA status. The primary concern is lack of inline referencing, as there are only 12 references between 16 sections. Please assume good faith and work quickly to improve the article. -Malkinann 16:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Allegations of Saudi Arabian apartheid
I've made a suggestion that the Allegations_of_Saudi_Arabian_apartheid be merged into Sex segregation in Islam and that Allegations_of_Saudi_Arabian_apartheid be merged into Status of religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. Please join the discussions. Lothar of the Hill People 15:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Proposed New Preamble to Saudi Arabia section
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: المملكة العربية السعودية, al-Mamlaka al-ʻArabiyya as-Saʻūdiyya) is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Jordan on the northwest, Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south, with the Persian Gulf to its northeast and the Red Sea to its west. It has an estimated population of 27.5 million, and its size is approximately 2,150,000 square km (830,000 square miles) The Kingdom is sometimes called "The Land of The Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Mecca (Makkah) and Medina, the two holiest places in Islam. In English, it is most commonly referred to as Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud, whose efforts began in 1902 when he captured the Al-Saud’s ancestral home of Riyadh, and culminated in 1932 with the proclamation, and recognition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the first time in history that this extensive area of the Arabian peninsula had been unified. Saudi Arabia, along with Russia, is one of the world’s largest petroleum exporter. Petroleum exports represent 75% of the government’s revenue, though serious efforts are being made to diversify the economy. The Kingdom annually hosts the Haj, the pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah), one of the five pillars of Islam. Between two to three million pilgrims participate each year. Total GDP is approximately $450 billion, ranking it 27th in the world. The government is a monarchy, which is officially advised by a majlis (consultative assembly). The legal basis for the government is Islamic law (the Sharia)
