Court Case[edit]
Regarding the following:
>On 5 March 2020, a British court ruled that on the balance of probabilities, Sheikh Mohammed had abducted two of his daughters, Sheikha Shamsa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum and Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, and had threatened his former wife, the Jordanian princess Haya bint Hussein. Allegedly, Sheikha Shamsa and Sheikha Latifa were forcibly medicated while held in Dubai under Sheikh Mohammed's orders since 2000 and 2018, respectively.
It is comical that this paragraph is given prominence in the intro and illustrates the Western bias of the authors/managers of the page. The court had no jurisdiction over Al Maktoum since he lives in the UAE and the court was in England. Because the court was impotent and had no jurisdiction over the case, Al Maktoum did not bother attending or giving a defense. So to highlight what was largely perceived as a kangaroo court matter of no significance is preposterous. Its rulings had no effect and no one, outside the West, took it seriously.
Increasingly, Wikipedia has introspect and ask whether those who are authoring its content and supervising it are doing so without bias. Imputing significance to a trial in which both parties were not even present, merely because the trial happened in the West is an example of that. Wikipedia's global credibility depends on rooting out this bias. 2001:8F8:1B2F:BA99:30A8:74AA:9C3D:8657 (talk) 08:56, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
- it could be worded a little different, but the facts about the "government" of the uae, and that he kidnapped and tortured his family absolutely should be given prominence in the intro. to fail to do so is a whitewash. 76.167.208.75 (talk) 08:22, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Dispute over Princess Haya escape section[edit]
@FossilWave: and @Woufeq: I'm sick of the stupidity of this dispute. Since neither of you seem willing to start a discussion here, I'm doing it for you. Please explain why your preferred version of this section is better. If either of you make similar changes to this section, or revert again without at least offering some comment here or somewhere else on this talk page (before or after), I'll ask for you to be blocked.

- @Woufeq These are the contentious removals I made:
- 1. The sentence "Media reports also asserted that Princess Haya had taken £31 million in cash and jewellery with her" has this Guardian article used to support it, but it does not make any mention of cash, jewellery or their worth. There is a Daily Mail article making the claim but WP:RSP lists the Daily Mail as deprecated.
- 2. The first three sources used at the end of the sentence beginning "In December 2019" are all from before December, and being from before the event (I have checked) obviously do not support what they are placed after. This was also reverted twice.
- I have twice attempted to begin discussing this but the user has refused both times, as can be seen on my talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:FossilWave FossilWave (talk) 13:43, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
