Hi @Viv Desjardin - thank you for creating this article; it's been on my to do list for awhile and you've done a much better start of it than I could have. One thing, regarding the title, what do you think of changing it to 1953 Aramco Saudi Arabia strike? since Aramco was operating in different countries at that time, and much of this centred on Saudi, I think it's useful to have that in the title.

If it'd help to disambiguate the subject I think 1953 Aramco Saudi Arabia strike would be good! I don't think I realized the company operated outside Saudi Arabia when I first published it. Viv Desjardin (talk, contrib) 02:13, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not so much a disambiguation issue, rather more related to WP:Naming conventions (events): Industrial accidents and incidents should generally be titled according to the year, the location and a description of what occurred. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 04:16, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I chose the name I chose it because most of the strike articles I've encountered mention the region name when it's a widespread/multi-firm thing within a region, and a company name when it's limited to a single company. E.g. Preston strike of 1853–1854 and 1983 AT&T strike respectively. IIRC when I first found it red-linked on the WikiProject Organized Labor to do list it was listed as "1953 Saudi Arabia oil strike", and I had the draft titled that originally, but changed it last minute in light of that pattern. That said and as you mentioned the region is pretty central to this strike so I agree it'd make sense to call it the 1953 Aramco Saudi Arabia strike.

FWIW, I do think Aramco Saudi Arabia strike is better; the problem with "oil strike" is that it can be ambiguous, it could also mean the discovery of oil. If you've no objections, I'll go ahead with the move? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 11:13, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can go ahead with the move. Thanks for bringing it up! Viv Desjardin (talk, contrib) 15:05, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
