I think the article is absent subjects

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Mehemet_Ali

MEHEMET ALI (1769-1849), pasha and afterwards viceroy of Egypt, was born at Kavala, a small seaport on the frontier of Thrace and Macedonia. ...

Not really. This article is about "Aali" with double "a" who lived in 1815–1871, according to the PNG scans. The article about "Mehemet Ali" with single "a" who lived 1769-1849 is at 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Mehemet Ali. The naming of the articles is strange, though, as one person is sorted under the letter "a", whereas the other one under the letter "m". Nonetheless, that is how the EB1911 original does it, so we should stick with it, I guess. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
