Talk:Emirate of Abu Dhabi

Fair use rationale for Image:Stamp Abu 1967 40f-170px.jpg

Image:Stamp Abu 1967 40f-170px.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Largest population

The articles Abu Dhabi (emirate) and Dubai each claim to be the largest emirate by population.  Randall Bart   Talk  22:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

What is the population of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and the city of the same name? Should be included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.232.71 (talk) 17:38, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

NYU Abu Dhabi

NYU has a campus in abu dhabi, I think this is worth mentioning briefly in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.161.7 (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Torture Charges

I have deleted this part "This judgement reveals a weird and worrying conception of justice in Abu Dhabi." because this sounds like an original research or an opinion. My understanding is that Wikipedia communicates facts and not opinions of the writers Wisamsafi (talk) 09:55, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Torture section is irrelevant to this article. Suggest to remove it & move it to the appropriate article.-- Mahir78 (talk) 15:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Done. СЛУЖБА (talk) 20:53, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Persian Gulf

In the map of Abu Dhabi, all of the writings were written with Arabic scripts. They misused Arabic Gulf (خليج عربي) instead of Persian Gulf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apourbakhsh (talk • contribs) 10:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

In the Arabic language it is not a "misuse".СЛУЖБА (talk) 20:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Going by the romanisation, I'd guess [a.buːˈðˤa.biː], but I'm sure that's wrong. N4m3 (talk) 18:26, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

missing place
