The map used in the sidebar has a strange inset. The world map has a rectangle that covers an area from Egypt to India. But the larger map is only a fraction of this. Not accurate or helpful. I realize it's difficult for a country this small. 2401:7000:DB0D:3900:58C:C232:8442:549F (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph under Post-Arab Spring years seems to have had text cut from it, between the words "committee to" and the word "paying". As is, it doesn't make much sense: "On 9 April 2020, Bahrain launched a committee to paying private-sector employees for a three-month period in order to ease the financial pain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic."

It was added all in one go by an IP here, so probably just a grammar issue trying to say that the government supported private-sector employment. CMD (talk) 01:42, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone more experienced in editing than me explain if this is a good choice of words? It seems overly subjective to me. I would assume a military is professional unless there is evidence to the contrary. Robhold2000 (talk) 06:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thats not really an Ethnicity is it? I get the whole continental thing but its kinda weird. Continents are a really bad grouping of ethnicities anyways. Asians could be chinese or indian, completely unrelated, as could Africa be north african arabs or sub saharans. This metric is inefficient in providing info, and kinda useless DirkjanenBert (talk) 15:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this article must be named Kingdom of Bahrain -- analog to the Kingdom of the Netherlands -- notwithstanding the fact that just calling the kingdom 'Bahrain' is indeed a fully accepted colloquialism. The argument and reason for it, is explicitly stated in the opening sentence of the lede: the country is officially named "Kingdom of Bahrain". And Bahrain should redirect to the Kingdom of Bahrain -- Not the other way around ! -- GeeTeeBee (talk) 22:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:COMMONNAME, which is the usual rule of thumb. CMD (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
