Talk:Mowaffak al-Rubaie

current or ex?

Feb 25, 2007: CNN's Late Edition- "Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie"; They list him as current, Wiki lists him as ex NSA. Which is it? TJ aka Teej 00:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Current. He was appointed by CPA, then replaced by Daoud, then reappointed. The wiki needs updating for the last event. AndrewRT(Talk) 19:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Rename

We currently have a number of alternative names in use:

• Mouwafak al-Rabii
• Muwaffaq al-Ruba'i
• Muwaffaq al-Rubay'i
• Mowaffak al-Rubaie
• Muwaffaq al-Rubaie
• Mouwaffak al-Rubaie
• Muwaffaq al-Rubai

Under WP:NAME we should "give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize"

I'm not sure which of the names above that would be, but I don't think it is the current article name. Does anyone else have a view on this? AndrewRT(Talk) 18:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
