While browsing through Sami Hafez Anan's biography and related articles, I noticed there was a messy draft for Mahmoud Refaat not up to WP standards. The subject is clearly notable in Egyptian (and EU?) politics with a lot of news - check Rahaf Mohammed, Omar al-Hassi, Ghad El-Thawra Party, Hisham Genena, etc. - but the draft had some grammatical mistakes and PR fluff. Nevertheless there are German Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, and Swedish articles about Refaat, which are all short, factual stubs. So what I did was to rewrite the whole thing from scratch by doing a rough translation of the Dutch and German versions. You can alert me if you see anyone attempting to add off-topic promotional content afterwards. Internationalerz (talk) 21:15, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agree with your points above. But could you clarify if you had worked more from the German or the Dutch Wikipedia? You need to give attribution with a "translated page" template or relevant edit summary. Jackhasahat (talk) 01:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Well this draft looks it had been significantly cleaned up. There was still a bit of residual content from previously problematic editing; I've removed and cleaned up after checking some references and the page history. Jackhasahat (talk) 01:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
