North Americans? And the whole continental grouping
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)
Move article to "Kingdom of Bahrain"
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)
- See WP:COMMONNAME, which is the usual rule of thumb. CMD (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
Bahrain should have an authotarian dictoatorsip
Many sources say Bahrain is authotarian, and even Qatar has the tag! Why not Bahrain? Datawikiperson (talk) 07:22, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

The map in this article is outdated.
The article features a map of the country. However, this map is outdated due to the creation of new artificial islands. I suggest a more recent map such as: "Bahrain biggests cities map-en.svg" on wikimedia commons. Fisssion (talk) 04:22, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
