Talk:Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa

message: :"He has launched a record label, Two Seas Records, through which Michael Jackson will distribute his next album."
I'm going to remove this from the article because it's wrong. It seems that some people think that the king himself is a fan of Michael Jackson and he's the one who launched Two Seas Records. In fact, it's his son, Abd Allah ibn Hamad. See  and . Shaikh Abdullah Ben Hamed Al Khalifa redirects here, but it shouldn't be... ~MK~ (talk) 13:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding Michael Jackson 

message: According to this article, "On 16 February 1979 he was awarded the Knight of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George from the United Kingdom." Recipients of this honour are customarily granted the postnominal initials KCMG. I would recommend that if this award is verifiable, the postnominals be included in the article, as well as a link to the Wikipedia article "Order of St Michael and St George," as has been the Wikipedian custom for other recipients of the honour. 12.182.61.2 06:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Correct. See Note in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Arabic)#Names. ibn is preferable to bin unless a "primary transcription" exists. gergis (talk) 09:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not true, all the Bahraini sources refer him in English with "bin", not "ibn". See for example the Monarchy site of the official Bahrain Embassy website, or the Bahrain News Agency. Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 00:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  ibn or bin? 

message: 
Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah →  — Other living members of the Al Khalifa family (e.g. the crown prince, Salman ibn Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa) are listed on Wikipedia as "Al Khalifa" not "Al Khalifah". This is also the case for the article of on the Al Khalifa family. Furthermore, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Arabic) offers -a as well as -ah as the standard transliteration for ة, and surely simplicity is preferable. gergis (talk) 09:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa]] 

message: Why should we attribute protest to his personal life? We can write about the protests taking place in Bahrain article. I could sense some politics in this article. Please clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwasif (talk • contribs) 21:43, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for bringing this to the article's talk page; I'd like to request that you please allow the referenced material to remain in the article, until a consensus can be established here first. Continuing to remove the material without prior discussion, could be viewed by some editors as a form of "edit warring" and sanctions (including blocking) may result. In my opinion, there are bound to be at least some "politics" involved in the content; considering the current political circumstances in country and given that the subject, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa is being pressured in some quarters to step down from his position as monarch, personally I believe that it would actually be inappropriate if no mention at all was made of these difficulties in this context. These events potentially pose a threat to his reign itself, which of course is directly related to him as the subject of the article. In my opinion, there doesn't presently appear to be an inordinate amount of material devoted to the subject in the article and what is there, appears to be reliably referenced. Do you have any objections to the source of the references themselves? All and all, depending on how things change of course, I don't think there is any present need to dramatically expand the amount of information being devoted to the subject from what is currently available. Anyone who is seeking more information can simply go to the main article dealing with the protests themselves and obtain it there. However, I do believe that a referenced mention of these issues in the article is contextually appropriate at this time.  thank you Deconstructhis (talk) 23:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Today, EastArabianWarrior removed content because s/he though it was "personal attack on shias + out of citation". I find the material balanced and while it had no citation in this article, the same material is sourced in other article. For example: Day of Rage (Bahrain)#2010 crackdown and Bahrain#Politics. Besides there was one source . I recommend inserting the content with minor changes. For the record, this material and much of the "Reign" section were expanded by an IP address who didn't add any citations, but to me it was reasonable and balanced.
