Haasa
editLook at article Haasa. Should spelling of article be fixed or disambig page added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsung Celular Phone (talk • contribs) 04:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Shias mention
editIt is amazing how quickly any mention of the Shias in this and other parts of Saudi Arabia is removed from here. Not only in Saudi Arabia, but also here in the cyber-space, the truth about the religious identity of the citizens are glossed over. Until 2003, the invasion of Iraq and the liberation of the Shias there, no mention of the Shias could be made in or outside of the Saudi Arabia without serious ramifications to the person. The Hasa/Ahsa district--one of the oldest centers of Shiism in the Arabian Peninsula, cannot be stated to have any Shias on the pages of Wiki without the statement being quickly removed and replaced with either blank or some abusive states about the Shias (the last time, the vandal who changed the information on Ethnography of the region, mentioned that there were some of the "ghulats" (apostates) still living in the area! One can only hope that the motto of "Live and let live" would some day make its debut in Saudi Arabia and the minds of the Wahhabi zealots. Deus Vult! IzadyIzady (talk) 17:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
editThis looks like a close duplicate of Al-Ahsa, should they be combined here or there? Nuujinn (talk) 21:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Source no. 11 not reachable anymore
editCitation no. 11 leads to an article about the border convergance point between Colombia, Brazil and Peru, which doesn't mention Al-Ahsa or its population around 1,000 CE in any way. Google finds several websites which repeat the claim, but a cursory read didn't reveal any source for it. Without a source, maybe it should be removed? 2A02:908:DF56:1780:E510:7880:F549:4AAE (talk) 02:07, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Picture
editI don't see an oasis in this picture (
), neither «a serial property comprising gardens, canals, springs, wells and a drainage lake, as well as historical buildings, urban fabric and archaeological sites» (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1563/). I see none of them, actually!
There are many other photographs about Al-Ahsa Oasis on wiki.Commons, for example:
(it has the advantages of: 1. being exactly the depiction of an oasis, as it essentially is, and 2. of underlining its relevance which is mainly historical — see the subtitle as an UNESCO site: an evolving cultural landscape)
or
(it shows why we call it an "oasis", at least)
or others...
