Masjid edit
I would like to point out that the mosque(Masjid) which Sultan Qaboos built is not the biggest mosque in the world at all as stated, in fact, there are many other masjids around the world which are by far bigger than this masjid. For example, Al Masjid Al Haram in Makkah (Saudi Arabia) is bigger by probably over 100 times! The total capacity of Al Jami'a Al Akbar (Muscat) is 20,000 worshipers, whereas, in Makkah it can take more than 2.5 million worshipers. I do not know how this false information appeared in this website ?? Regards.
Revision edit
I added two new subheadings about Qaboos' early life and the coup. I would like to create a more detailed account of Qaboos' reign - in particular the Dhofar conflict and modernization. I would also like a section on his personal life. I need help with this please. -Anon
why don't you write about his hobbies and interests? I hope you find this website helpful http://www.omannews.com/english/H.M%20%20E.htm
Homosexuality edit
What prevents us from including material about the homosexuality of Qaboos? Contaldo80 (talk) 21:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
Nothing as it's no longer a blp article. Just use (v) sources. Ip says: Work Better yes. (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
The article previously contained a well-sourced discussion of it. This was removed on dodgy WP:BLP grounds after he was dead. Now that WP:BDP no longer applies, I have restored the content. cagliost (talk) 12:01, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Should it be added to a different section instead of Personal Life? Some guy has been reverting it again claiming it's false info; it should still be here nonetheless, it's a big deal I think? Jan Silija (talk) 14:44, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Disagree, the current section headings are fine. cagliost (talk) 13:52, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. "Personal life" is the normal section heading for where we discuss the sexuality and family life of biography subjects. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 17:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
