Coup or revolution? Wikipedia can't agree on what's happening in Egypt

Coup or revolution? Wikipedia can't agree on what's happening in Egypt

Share this story

Last week, Egypt's democratically elected president was forcibly removed by the country's military following large-scale protests. Mohamed Morsi became president last year as the first elected leader since the 2011 Egyptian revolution. A Wikipedia article titled "2013 Egyptian Coup d'état" lays down the events of the past few weeks perfectly, but as a Foreign Policy report details, a war of words has broken out in the article's discussion page, with some vehemently arguing that the page should be renamed to "2013 Egyptian Revolution." It appears that the current name will stick for now, with the majority of seasoned editors pointing out that, despite Morsi's deposition seemingly being supported by the masses, the sudden removal of a democratically elected leader by part of the country's military is essentially the dictionary definition of a coup d'état.
