Talk:Al Khawalid

Al Khawalid has been listed as one of the History good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.
Review: January 20, 2014. (Reviewed version).

A fact from Al Khawalid appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 July 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the hardline faction Al Khawalid was so empowered during the reign of King Hamad of Bahrain (pictured) that they were considered a "new royal family"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/July. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Al Khawalid.

Some comments

Per request:

I've done some copyediting throughout, though I was moving quickly and probably haven't caught everything.

Two other minor points:

"They are descendants of Khalid bin Ali Al Khalifa" --Al Khawalid, Al Khalifa family, or both?
The Osama bin Laden comparison may be a bit weak and inflammatory for the lead, though it seems reasonable in the context of the body

Thanks for your work on this one! As always, you've done a heck of a job with your research. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:06, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your copyedits and nice words. As for your question, Al Khawalid are descendants of Khalid. Al Khalifa as the name implies are descendants of Khalifa. I've clarified it in the article and removed that line from lead. Cheers. Mohamed CJ (talk) 12:49, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
