thread_title:  Al-Sabah? 

message: The article title "House of Al-Sabah" is wrong. It is not "al-Sabah" (الصباح‎), where "al" is the definite article, but rather Al Sabah (آل صباح), where al means "house". So if spelled correctly without the hyphen, the title reads "House of house of Sabah" -- either the "house of" or the "al" is redundant. Therefore the article should be moved to "House of Sabah" (as in House of Saud and House of Thani).--128.139.104.49 (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Title 

message: Wikipedia policy requires that articles be based on reliable published sources. Mengde has made the claim that royal is an insulting and inaccurate term. I would like to see a citation for this claim. I'll post links to the policy pages as soon as I get off my iPhone and onto a real computer. Bhimaji (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Getting back in compliance with policy 

message: Just comparing the Jordan, Moroccan and Kuwaiti constitution for my master thesis, I discovered a mistake in the article:
The Kuwaiti parliament has a say in the appointment of the emir. Although customs prohibit the use of such measures, the parliament (per article 3 of the constitution) has a constitutional right to approve or disapprove of an emir's appointment.
Article 3 defines Arabic as official language. What the author meant was Article 4, Paragraph 3:
His designation shall be effected by an Amiri Order upon the nomination of
the Amir and the approval of the National Assembly, which shall be signified
by a majority vote of its members in a special sitting.
Maybe its just a detail and it seems a little nerdy to point it out, but the article is rated High-Importance, so I thought the author will be keen to have everything done correctly.
I would change it myself, but have absolutely no experience with WP and unfortunatelly no time since my thesis must be finished after 2 months. Greets, Johannes 192.44.85.22 (talk) 13:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong constitution article 

message: Many sections of this article are all mistitled. For some odd reason, we have titles like "His Highness Ruler of Al-Kout Fortress (1718-1950)", "His Highness Emir of the State of Kwuait (1961-Present)" and "Monarch Shahid Sheikhs of the House of Sabah". These titles are inaccurate and very long.
Kuwait was not known as "Al Kout Fortess" in 1718-1950, it is very misleading to claim that Kuwait was "Al-Kout Fortess". I have reverted the article to my version and removed unsourced POV section about "Notable Monarchs"... OJOM has picked his favourite monarchs, it's biased and too subjective. Wikipedia is supposed to maintain a policy of neutrality. The references in OJOM's version are WP:FAKE, namely the ministry of defense Arabic source that's used as evidence to substantiate his claims. 103.27.225.126 (talk) 03:02, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong section headings  

message: This page goes into some of the "prehistory" of the House.
And at least a few of these books should be useful as well. John Carter (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible sources 

message: At the start of the page, the text "For other uses, see Sabah." should link to the disambiguation page, not the Malaysian state page.
