Spelling[edit]
The banner used to be in British spelling but I changed it to British Oxford spelling since the majority of words with the ending ize/ise (izing/ising and ization/isation too) were already using the American/Oxford spelling, and I think enforcing the other variant would just lead to an inconsistent article, it also appears that the first version that's not a stub used the spellings "flavour" and "recognized" for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saudi_Arabia&oldid=1637856 Terbofast (talk) 07:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

In the intro, where it mentions Saudi Arabia is a country in “West Asia in the Middle East”, please change this to “a country in West Asia in the geopolitical region known as the Middle East.” 2600:100C:A216:3864:88D3:5C19:3185:B825 (talk) 22:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@Nikkimaria What layout issues are you referring to from my edit? BurqueMesa (talk) 06:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

- I see. Thank you for the explanation! BurqueMesa (talk) 19:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

The water percentage of "0.7" was added with no source by an account from with only 3 contributions which all seem to be misguided. After research, I could not find a single source which claims the same number. There is no official number for the water area of Saudi Arabia. 99.64.160.215 (talk) 01:35, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
