This is a pretty big stub :)

Edits by 128.189.192.97

A note about the edits of anonymous user 128.189.192.97: I have removed his/her injection of the naming of the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the dispute over the Islands. The Wikipedia Persian Gulf article itself has a disputed neutrality tag and there is no reason to drag that controversy into an article about Zayed. Furthermore, the blatant wording of this edit: " Iran's argument has always been based on historical facts" is clearly a POV. The article does not go into the merits of either claim to ownership of the islands, and the fact that Iran seized them from Sharjah's control is not disputed, even by Iran, and does not mean Iran admits "stealing" them. --A.

Additional “memorial and legacy” publication

I would like to add ‘Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Diseases, Great Ormond Street Hospital’ after the sentence ‘Sheikh Zayed Professorship of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Mayo Clinic.’ in the “Memorials and legacy” section. Here are my supporting references: ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

change "Sheikh Zayed was born at Qasr al-Hosn, Abu Dhabi, in 1918[15] and moved from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain in 1926, after the death of his father.[1][16] As Zayed was growing up in Al-Ain" to "Sheikh Zayed was born at Al Ain Castle, Al Ain, in 1918[15] and moved from Al Ain to Abu Dhabi and back periodically.[1][16] As Zayed was growing up in Al-Ain" 2001:8F8:1135:4086:D847:175F:E83C:397A (talk) 13:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm going to need some help figuring this one out. I have found an official source that says that Zayed was born at Al-Ain, as indicated in the article, at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have ALSO found an official source that says he was born at Qasr al-Hosn, at the UAE National Library and Archives. They both look like serious, reliable sources, but they can't both be right. ???
