Human Rights Watch as a source
[edit]The allegation that 'elections are not free and fair' in the lead is only sourced in a HRW report. Does this qualify as a wp:rs? Methinks not... Winchester2313 (talk) 05:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Name changes should not be done without consensus
[edit]Muhammad adel007 changed the name of this article without seeking consensus. Please do not do that again.
Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Arabic)#Definite article for the present en.Wikipedia recommendation for using al- vs Al- in Roman (English) transcriptions of Arabic names. The Egyptian style tends to be to use "el-" rather than "al-", with the change in vowel, but "el-" is still an article (grammar); it is not a name.
See WP:RM for instructions on how to propose a title change for a page like this where the change may be controversial.

Elsisi mother true name
[edit]It is well documented through the American CNN ( Cable News Network) that the true name of Elsisi mother is : Malika Titani a Moroccan jew, and it was published on the website of CNN after the coup of 2013 in Egypt. Later on that page was edited and the name was changed. 2603:6000:D800:5344:68B7:7082:6724:1A4D (talk) 02:05, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Persian Gulf
[edit]Learn to respect others. There is no place on earth called the gulf. There is Persian Gulf. If Arabs disrespect us Persians by omitting the word Persian, we will change any names that has the name of Arabic countries in it. Respect others to be respected.

Name (in Arabic) spelt wrong
[edit]The last letter of his name written in Arabic above the portrait photo on the right side is wrong. The last letter of Al-Sisi's name is ي, which is pronounced "y" or "ii". Here it is spelled with a ى (notice this letter is lacking the two dots below the main line). While looking similar, this letter is pronounced "aa". Effectively, the name spelt out here would read Al-Sisa. Have a look at the Arabic-language article to compare and confirm that the name (the title of the article) has the letter ي at the very end (the left-hand end), including the two dots.
I cannot correct this mistake myself due to the semi-protected status, as I don't have enough edits. Bvlampe (talk) 18:59, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Dictator
[edit]He is a dictator. 2A02:3030:805:694E:1:0:8007:4295 (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, he is. Yet despite many of the sources cited by this article saying so, the word "dictator" doesn't appear once in the article. WP:NPOV works in both directions. By ignoring the widespread consensus that he is a dictator, the article presents an overtly pro-Sisi POV. — Red XIV (talk) 00:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 5 December 2023
[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Add citations to the last paragraph of the article (on personal life and public image) as it currently is unsubstantiated. Add formatting to the paragraph as it has random capitalisations and commas without a separation of sentences. MrXenon133 (talk) 20:36, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. You need to specify the changes you are requesting. If there are citations to be added, you need to provide them. RudolfRed (talk) 20:50, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Name
[edit]Hi all,
When referring to the subject of this article by his last name, sometimes this article uses "el-Sisi" and sometimes it uses "Sisi" (without the el). It's my (limited) understanding of Arabic that we should be using "el-Sisi". However, if someone feels differently, I'm happy to discuss. Either way, I feel that we should be using all one or the other way. Would like other opinions before I edit. Apathyash (talk) 20:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
