Taking note of the new Arabic Wikipedia article, I'm now wondering whether we should state that the Arabic name is Dawar al-lu'lu' (147,000 Google hits in Arabic, and what we have now), Dawar al-lu'lu'ah (815,000 Google hits, and the Arabic Wikipedia title), or both.

The only cited source [1] says the BDF "cleared the country's Pearl Roundabout area of anti-government protestors, bulldozing and burning their camp." The monument is destroyed, that's clear, that belongs in the past tense. But it seems premature to speak of the roundabout in the past and as "bulldozed," when our source only says the protesters' camp was bulldozed. Unless the roadway has been torn to shreds (and we have a WP:RS saying so), traffic may not be using the roundabout now, but it's still a roundabout. Wareh ( talk) 14:57, 18 March 2011 (UTC) Protestors had already torn out the paving and kerbstones for barricades, and the vegetation was gone. Today the monument is also gone. They pushed one of the 'sails' with a buldozer and the whole thing just sort of twisted up and collapsed in on itself. Ignominious end for such an iconic Bahraini landmark. 173.255.228.156 ( talk)

There have been no confirmed reports of Saudi or Peninsula Shield involvement in March 16th events, image description is not credible. Someone should change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WafaAlsayed ( talk • contribs) 07:23, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Bahraini Foreign minister announced in meeting yesterday that GCC forces are used to protect vital buildings. Thus, there is still no evidence of whether they were involved or not. Can someone guide me to an article where credible sources are stating this. How can one distinguish between GCC troops and BDF ones as one can argue uniforms are similar. Did any official, be it Bahraini or non-Bahraini announce this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WafaAlsayed ( talk • contribs) 21:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
To change the subject to the "Image of destroyed monument" announced in the previous section's title, it lacks licensing (taken from the internet without any clues provided about the photographer's rights and permission) and is eligible for deletion for tomorrow. See commons:File:Pearl Monument Leveled 20110318.jpg. So I've gone ahead and removed it here. If anyone thinks they can save it by argument or by producing the photographer's permission, the time is short. On the other hand, we do have a properly licensed image of the monument in the context of the recent protests. It seems obvious to me this belongs at the top; the entire site has become far more notable through this association than for any other reason, and at least this image tells part of the story of the present situation. It's quite lovely to look at the Bahraini flags flying under beautiful blue skies, but that has little encyclopedic value in comparison. Note that there is no indication from any WP:RS in the article that the monument ever attracted significant praise or admiration as a work of architecture from important critics, etc. Wareh ( talk) 14:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
