Talk:Voice of the Arabs

DYK

This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.

Transmitter originally funded by USA

That's at least what I read in Wilbur Crane Eveland's book "Ropes of Sand". This should be mentioned in the article, with proper sources. --L.Willms (talk) 18:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

On page 103, Eveland writes that during his first visit in Egpyt, »Eager to tell us more, Copeland described the new broadcasting equipment that the CIA was setting up in Egypt, which would be the most powerful in the entire Middle East.« and more in the footnote to this sentence: »This radio, the Voice of the Arabs, worked so well that we later found it necessary to finance stations in other locations to counter a gift that had been turned against our interests.« --L.Willms (talk) 19:19, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
