The issue of the position of his highness as ruler

[edit]

After the demise of Sheikh Khalifa, Sheikh Mohammed is now the official ruler of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. There's no mandated coronation or oath ceremony. Yet, I see a user keep editing the position of his highness 37.111.214.95 (talk) 17:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the case. It is essentially certain he will be, but until there are reliable sources to support it this should not be stated in the article.Unbh (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"leader of a campaign against movements in the Arab world"

[edit]

Shouldn't this read, "leader of a campaign against Islamist movements in the Arab world" ? Or, could we re-phrase as "leader of a campaign for greater secularism in the Arab world" ? Histoboy95 (talk) 19:12, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the sentence as it made no sense, neither does it describe "who" has seen him as a "leader of a campaign". It is written in a vague wording implying a possible pseudo campaign against Islamist commenced by him. It also appears to be outdated, as the UAE no longer seen by analysts as having an "interventionist policy". Gorebath (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pageviews after removing bold font

[edit]

I am amazed by the explosion of page views from 4000 to 17,000 after a minor editorial change here : unboldening of the title sheikh. This speaks volumes about what people notice or read, the first word, not new information buried in a section far below... Wuerzele (talk) 02:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

de facto?

[edit]

Is titling MBZ the "de facto" president really accurate? Sure, he was not elected by the populace, but my understanding is that he is both de facto and de iure the president of the UAE (a federation of absolute monarchies) according to its constitution. As such, titling him the de facto president of the UAE seems inaccurate - to be telling a half-truth. I am not going to edit the page myself because I suspect this would cause contention, and arbitration is already in effect, and I am not sure if I am eligible to edit.
