Too much sensitive content
[edit]Why is the assassination section of this page contanis so much disturbing content, can't we just shorten it to some less sensitive content? This is inappropriate. BuddyHeigh (talk) 10:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see anything particuarly graphic there, maybe read through WP:CENSORED and then come back with specifically what passages you're objecting to? -- D'n'B-t -- 10:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]In the section on Pan-Africanism, there is the following sentence (just prior to reference number 380):
"However, Gaddafi had gave weapons and money to the Houthis to attack Saudi Arabia..."
"Gave" should be changed to "given" for grammatical reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.91.212.218 (talk) 17:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

In the Early life & early career section, under Childhood, for the last sentence, please add the claim of 2 Libyan Jewish women claiming to be distant relatives of him and that his mother was Jewish although that this is unproven. This is mentioned in the History of the Jews in Libya article. http://www.jewishtelegraph.com/libya_3.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/gadhafis-mother-was-jewish-his-protocol-chief-says/amp/ http://www.economist.com/node/21528675?fsrc=scn/tw/te/ar/comeandbeanisraeli 2600:100C:A209:D108:5859:C875:6A21:A1AE (talk) 11:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Heading when searched
[edit]"Evil" political theorist This is subjective and completely inappropriate. I assume it has sneaked in as a recent edit because the following introductory paragraph does not have such a childish subjective and inappropriate adjective.
I assume under the article on Trump you would not allow that article to have "corrupt child molester" as the article heading. If Wikipedia allows such subjective opinions in the topic headings, however, I am off to have some fun. 115.166.53.10 (talk) 21:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
age at death
[edit]clearly the ones editing scored a 0 in math. the dates of birth and dates of death are clearly states, with no vague details. so obviously, gaddafi was 69 when he died, whats the point of a useless approxiamtion of 68-69 2406:3003:2002:3F1B:7421:426E:100:F98B (talk) 06:00, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
