Egeymi check the dates in the sources—the Egyptian literary magazine الفجر was published 1925-1927. إيان (talk) 12:15, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please check again, these are two different publications. --Egeymi (talk) 12:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But you are distorting the sourced info. The sources give the publication years as in the original form but you have changed them. It is not fair.--Egeymi (talk) 12:19, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

look at the source --Egeymi (talk) 12:22, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above catalogue info looks like it might be WP:CIRCULAR.

From the first source cited (Robin Ostle (2000). "The "Apollo" Phenomenon". Quaderni di Studi Arabi. 18: 75–76. ISSN 1121-2306. JSTOR 25802896.):

Although the most important specialist literary journal of the 1920's, al-Fajr, the weekly publication of the Jama'at al-Madrasa al-Hadita, was less overtly iconoclastic than al-'Aqqad and al-Diwan , it too was thought of by its members as an organ which would "destroy all the chains shackling short story lovers,

The al-Fajr literary magazine associated with Al-Madrasa al-Ḥadītha was published in the 1920s. إيان (talk) 12:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence in the source (Marcia Lynx Qualey (27 September 2019). "In a Sudan Where Literature is Often Smuggled, the Short Story is a Perfect Form". Literary Hub. Retrieved 6 October 2020.) describes a twice-monthly magazine, not a weekly, showing it's clearly talking about a different publication:

It was June 2, 1934, when a group of young men published the first issue of al-Fajr. This twice-monthly magazine followed the short-lived Nahda, which closed after its founder’s death in 1933.

and it's obvious from the rest of the source that it's about Sudan, not Egypt. إيان (talk) 12:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to the note you left on my talk page here too for convenience:

Absolutely nowhere in Miriam Cooke's "Yahya Haqqi as Critic and Nationalist" does it say that al-Madrasa al-Haditha's literary magazine al-Fajr was published in the 1930s. إيان (talk) 13:54, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I gave the source for you to see the mag you are talking about was published in 1924-25. In addition could please follow dmy date format in the sources and why did you distort the order of the items in the infobox.Egeymi (talk) 13:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have misread that footnote. It says: Fajr [referring to Haqqi's Fajr al-Qissa al-Missriya], p. 76. This magazine was run by Ahmad Khairi Sa'id and seems to have been a forerunner of Al-Fajr (1924-5) referring to the sentence Haqqi's importance as a critic does indeed seem to lie in this role. He expresses surprise that little mention is ever made of As-Sufūr in which the early works of Haikal, Taha Husain, Ahmad Daif, Mansur Fahmi and 'All and Mustafa 'Abd ar-Raziq had first appeared.

It seems the magazine published 1924-5 was As-Sufūr, not al-Fajr. إيان (talk) 14:08, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As for the date format, you can change it to whatever you like as long as the dates are correct. إيان (talk) 14:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
