Talk:Qatar–Saudi Arabia diplomatic conflict

Orphaned references in Qatar–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Qatar–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "stratfor":

• From 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis: "Trump's 'Arab NATO' Vision is a Desert Mirage". Stratfor. 31 May 2017.
• From Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: "Crisis as Opportunity for the IRGC". Stratfor. 27 July 2009. Archived from the original on 5 August 2009. Retrieved 1 August 2009. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Lead

“Qatar has had differences with other Arab governments on a number of issues: it broadcasts Al Jazeera; it is accused of maintaining good relations with Iran; and it has supported the Muslim Brotherhood in the past.” this sentence is repeated twice. Also the lead is quite long too. JahlilMA (talk) 06:59, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Second paragraph of intro

The last sentence of the second paragraph of the introduction refers to "GCC-funded groups". However, the initialism "GCC" was never established previously in the article, is not self-evident, and has no link to explain it. This should be fixed. I actually have no idea what it means. 2604:2000:C699:5B00:F4D8:ECA0:316:CF7D (talk) 03:49, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

GCC stands for "Gulf Cooperation Council". I've linked it as such. Generally GCC is a widely understood term so that's probably why it wasn't linked, but I can see how the abbreviation could be confusing for those who aren't familiar with the Persian Gulf. Either way, fixed. Elspamo4 (talk) 00:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the question and fixing it. Wikipedia is the go to for many people (myself included) to learn about topics they have no familiarity with, and so we must keep those people in mind. Thank you :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shushugah (talk • contribs) 17:38, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Qatar–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict → Qatar–Saudi Arabia diplomatic conflict – This isn't a "proxy conflict"; the countries are directly engaged in a diplomatic dispute, and other conflicts (such as Yemen) aren't between proxies of these two nations (it's part of the Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict). power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

• Why? The article will most likely be merged/redirected into 2017–18 Qatar diplomatic crisis, Qatar–Saudi Arabia relations, or both. What good does another discussion serve? Regardless of the title, the article remains a content fork of other articles. It also contains a large amount of original research. A title change may nullify most of the OR, but only to make this a WP:COATRACK article. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 09:18, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
• Support. It's a move in the right direction. Red Slash 13:10, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Current title is incorrect, as noted. 216.8.143.171 (talk) 11:28, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Unbalanced

Here it says The main Qatari-supported group was the Al Nusra Front links were made to the group via Abu Maria al-Qahtani who actively sought Qatari support and later Turkish support to split the group from al-Qaeda as well as to fight ISIL. there are two sources both of them are pro-Saudi regime. Qatar's forigen minister has rejected the claims that Qatar supported Al-Nusra front.[1]. This issue that represent "Qatar supports Al-nusra" claim as a fact is all over the article in many paragraphs. Another thing is Qatar and Iran relationship and how it is highlighted although the Qatari Amir Tamim bin Hamad said Iran is our neighbor. And by the way, us as a country, we have lots of differences and foreign policies with Iran, more than them[2]. I'm not interested enough in this topic to fix all of this mess but I will put the unbalance template so that editor would get notified and fix this problem also the reader should know that this article is unbalanced.

Is this conflict still ongoing?

The lede for the article refers to the "ongoing struggle" between KSA and Qatar, but the countries agreed to a negotiated deal on Jan 4th, and other articles refer to it in the past tense. Should the article be changed to reflect the end of the conflict? Ilovewiki19 (talk) 16:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm also not sure, shouldn't we change it? Ultimate Tai (talk) 16:45, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Lead

Lead seems somewhat detailed for the length of article. Tycho Ambachtsheer (talk) 16:25, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
