Aren't "referendum" and "plebiscite" have similar meaning? What does the author mean?
That section sounds like it has an agenda to argue that Bahrain shouldn't be its own country and I wondered the same about the two words. They share one entry under "referendum," but that does say that "plebiscite" can be used to refer to votes carried out by an undemocratic regime for its own purposes. The assumption that the two are different also appears in the following article listed amoung the external links. Is that where the author got this info? It describes a process of a series of consultations rather than a big vote.
Mishmahig Islands (Bahrain), How it was separated from Iran? http://www.iranchamber.com/geography/articles/mishmahig_islands_bahrain.php
Could someone write an article about position etc of the Amwaj Islands which were recently in the news but nowhere covered in wikipedia except an item about the filming of Big Brother in Bahrain.
The article has been extensively rewritten and no longer has the pro-Iranian POV or hairsplitting on meaning of "plebescite" discussed above.
Bahrain is an interesting country. I would like to know more about the portuguese era - when was it, and are there portuguese colonial monuments / buildings there? I hope someone who knows about this would update the history section - because the article is really lacking in this department. --SWA 16:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Michael Jackson?!
Isn't it a bit absurd to mention Michael Jackson in this article? I mean, it's like adding the phrase "Meg Ryan went to China and brought a child home" in the China article. - Eagleamn 20:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
