Talk:Abdullah II of Jordan

message: I have re-ordered the links for appropriateness; the official website of the king should be placed at the top of the list.  I removed a duplicate link to the king's website and altered a link that pointed to a personal blog (POV) to point to the referenced Washington Post article. - Cybjorg 07:45, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Can someone explain why the subject's picture (:File:The King of Jordan in 2013.jpg) keeps getting removed? The image is appropriately licensed and does not violate any other policies that I'm aware of. I'm not going to restore the image because I have done so once already and was reverted again, but I will do so if, after a reasonable amount of time after opening this discussion, no legitimate reason to remove the image has been put forward.

replies: text: Of course you should restore it. "Removed an image" is hardly a justification for, well, removing an image - especially when the image is the article's best. Surtsicna (talk) 20:30, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

"Abdullah, was born to Hussein from his second wife, the ethically British Princess Muna al-Hussein. He was named as crown prince shortly after his birth"
I believe, the word "ethically" should be "ethnically"

message: I didn't get past the intro section at the top of the page before I stopped reading it for its obvious and unacceptable bias.  Here's what stood out to me:
> Abdullah is widely popular both locally and internationally for having maintained Jordan's stability despite overwhelming odds.
He's widely popular internationally?  Funny, given that I didn't know his name until right before I clicked on the link to his article.  And he has supposedly maintained Jordan's stability against overwhelming odds, while neither the degree to which stability has been maintained, nor how bad the odds were, nor what he did to make that happen—none of those things is clarified.  It's just vaguely worded praise.
Then, far worse:
> He is well-known for promoting peace, interfaith dialogue and the true message of Islam.
Again, no, he's not "well-known" for these various nice things.  Most glaringly, though, while I'm not a practitioner of the Muslim faith, I'm sure that there are millions of people who would dispute that what this man claims is the "true message of Islam".
The author of this text might truly believe these things, but these statements are clearly very biased, very non-objective statements, and I think they very clearly violate Wikipedia's non-POV policies.  And, since I didn't get past reading the schlock at the top of the page, I can only imagine what the people above me here are complaining about with bad bias in the body of the article.  I think the POV sections should be rewritten from a more objective perspective. --98.213.54.240 (talk) 23:24, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
