Funny this: last time I looked, the article on Tunisia in the Arabic WP doesn't clutter its first several lines with foreign script that Arabic-speakers cannot be expected to find useful. Why is it that en.WP seems to have been colonised by foreign-language speakers who feel English-speakers should find two and a half lines of unreadable script useful after the first word (rather than footnoted, where the few who might get a kick out of seeing their own script equivalent can click to see? I see Arabic-speakers are burdened with only three words of roman script equivalent at the start of the article on the United States. Would you like to insert the full name of the US in roman scripted English in that article, plus "also known as ..." with more roman-script equivalent for that, too? We could really make a mess of opening to the Arabic article; its readers would be delighted to have to wade through it to locate the second item in their own language.

Hello! You are doing really good work in the Wikipedia. Would you create a diagram which shows the distribution of seats in the Egyptian parliamentary election, 2011 as you did for the tunisian constituent assembly election and the moroccan parliamentary election 2011? It would be really nice if you create it in Commons and also for the Egyptian Shura Council election, 2012... Thanks!-- 77.4.222.99 ( talk) 13:41, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Democratic Alliance, 105, #A7CF40; Islamist Bloc, 45, #00A4DF;and so on with all the parties. Then save the link it gives you (it won't be an image, it will be code) and upload it on wikipedia. Cheers! ABJIKLAMǁ Tǁ C 22:36, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

and uploaded to common as is. Also I noticed the code I gave you was wrong, there shouldn't be any ;
after the last party in the list. Once it is uploaded I can take a look at it and make sure everything looks fine.

Sorry I forgot about doing this. My apologies. To make the black circles you have to play around with the svg code, I can take care of it. As for the results, since only a third of the seats were elected every time, if I want to make an image of the 2010 shura council, do I have to add up the 2010 election results with the results from 2007 and 2004?
PS: Since you seem to be quite active on wiki, would you consider registering an account? It would be easier to reach you! ABJIKLAMǁ Tǁ C 00:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

sorry, but it seems all sorted now ;) Lihaas ( talk) 08:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
This article looks as if it's going to be under attack by Persian editors again, who want to expunge all references to it being an Arabic work. Keep an eye on it, if you will, as I'm only allowed so many reverts. -- Soundofmusicals ( talk) 17:56, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi! There's already a discussion at Talk:Algeria#French_in_lede Despite the fact that French has no official status, it is a de facto lingua franca, and should be listed in the lead and infobox About edits like this - the problem is that many countries don't have official languages, or their official languages don't cover all of the lingua francas, etc. The United States has no official language. But in non-English articles about the US I expect to see the English names of the country in the infobox, the lead, etc. Japan also has no official language, but the reader expects to see the names of Japanese government agencies, etc in Japanese.
The infobox and articles make it clear that French has no official status, but the name and full names of the countries should be displayed in French in the Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia articles due to French's de facto status (French, in reality, is the primary language of the non-Arabized government departments of these three countries). The languages in the lede and infobox need to not only include official languages, but also de facto lingua franca/government working languages. WhisperToMe ( talk) 19:37, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
As a side note, see the following I've worked on:
