Urabi Revolt
editThis article covers basically the same subject as the Urabi Revolt article. However, that article is better written. Perhaps the two should be combined? Isenhand 05:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC) 14:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)14:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)~~
Arabi or Urabi or Orabi
editWikipedia has articles referring to this man either as Orabi or Urabi. Is there any evidence that his name was ever spelled in either of these ways at the time?
All the contemporary sources I have seen spell his name Arabi. That suggests to me that Wikipedia ought to standardise on Arabi.--Toddy1 19:04, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Not only that, but he himself spelt it "Arabi" in his own letters. FOARP (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Adding discussion of the causes of the war
editI am a student in an Egyptian history class at Colgate University, and I recently made revisions to reflect our class research regarding the historiographical debate over the causes of the British invasion of Egypt. I also provided updated information regarding the subsequent occupation as well as the trial of Urabi.
And to answer your previous question, the historical sources I've read mostly refer to him as Urabi, contrary to his wikipedia article. It is not necessarily an issue, because the first letter of his last name pronounced in Arabic is an "aiyn", which has no English equivalent.
Conquest?
editWhy the term "conquest"? Are we in the middle ages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:5D07:E706:502C:671B:FC2B:3D47 (talk) 02:03, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Anglo-Egyptian War?
editWhy not "invasion" or "occupation"? At least, the Egyptian perspective should be mentioned. The English intervention in an internal Egyptian affair (revolt or not) cannot be characterized as "Anglo-Egyptian War. Imagine someone calling the US invasion of Iraq "the US-Iraq War". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:5D07:E706:ED51:FE3F:E333:B493 (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
By the way, this is what it is called in Encyclopedia Britannica: "the British occupation". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:5D07:E706:ED51:FE3F:E333:B493 (talk) 16:08, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
