[edit] Egyptian-Israeli

Hello, I'm not sure where to put this on the talk page, but I would like to inquire why this article fails to follow basic principles of alphabetical order. This page should be entitled the "Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty", or at least the "Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty". I have been researching the issue at length, and no standard exists for referring to the treaty (for instance sometimes the order is reversed as is seen here), but in lack of an adequate standard, I feel that it would be alphabetically/politically/internationally correct to place the countries in alphabetical order. By placing Israel first instead of alphabetical order, it seems to suggest that Israel was either the initiator or played a larger part in the negotiations.

I have no idea how to fix the naming of a page, so I'll leave that to be discussed or enacted by someone else.

Good point, though not sure if it's an MoS convention. I'll put in a request for it. — Zerida ☥ 23:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
