It's a good first edit, and a good stub on an important topic that deserves an article. AFAIK Al Udeid Air Base was the launching pad for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. 86.56.48.12 22:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
There's one problem, in that it's written as a newspaper article, not as an encyclopedic entry. I've tagged it for cleanup. Gittinsj 06:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

As-Sailiyah edit

Could someone create the As-Sailiyah article? This second of two US bases in Qatar also deserves an article. Both bases are mentioned here: [1] 86.56.48.141 20:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

GlobalSecurity.org spells it Camp As Sayliyah. --Pmsyyz 04:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Emir Wanted 10,000 US Service Members At Base Claim- Source edit

Hi. There is a citation required for the claim in the introductory paragraph that "In 1999, Qatar's emir, Sheikh Hamad, reportedly told US officials that he would like to see as many as 10,000 US servicemen permanently stationed at Al Udeid." Well, I found a source online that states exactly that, verbatim: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/udeid.htm (sixth paragraph.) However, since Mr. Hamad is presently not the emir of Qatar, (his son Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is), perhaps someone should adjust the quote to state "Qatar's emir at the time, Sheikh Hamad..." or something to that effect.

Since I am not registered, I thought I'd just pass this link on to you all and let you deal with it. Thanks!114.162.170.83 (talk) 09:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Trump's tweet lay claim to split and taking credit for disrupting power base in the region edit

Fast evolving and of huge historical significance, the loss of an ally of the US; New section is most warranted. http://thehill.com/policy/defense/336496-trump-takes-credit-for-qatar-split imo--Wikipietime (talk) 14:20, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Merge Discussion edit

I am proposing that RAF Al Udeid should be merged into this article. All information from there could easily be incorporated into the infobox and "Royal Air Force operations" section of this article. --BegbertBiggs (talk) - de 18:54, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

As there seem to be no differing opinions after 2 weeks, I'll begin working on the merge. --BegbertBiggs (talk) - de 22:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Completed the merge as result of no opposition after 1 month. --BegbertBiggs (talk) - de 12:17, 24 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
