Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum
Hello, Wikiactivity. I noticed that you redirected Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum to Sheikh Saeed II bin Maktum. You did not provide a reason for this redirect and I was hoping that you could explain it to me. I understand that both articles are about the same person, but I wanted to know why you chose to merge Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum into Sheikh Saeed II bin Maktum, instead of the other way around. I believe "Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum" is the most common reference to Sheikh Saeed. An explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 06:29, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Leitmanp. I just found that these two articles refered to the same person Sheikh Saeed of Dubai and tried to merge them. Not having concerned naming conventions. I did not know how to merge redundant pages as to WP principle, but knew how to make redirection. So I made the redirection way FROM a LESS detailed one TO a MORE detailed one. I am not sure about naming convention for Emirs and Sheiks. If you believe the most common reference is Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, redirection should be in the opposite direction.

 * I found the entry in Arabic WP.
 * Its name is Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum. You are right. It seems to be the most common reference. Current entry should be renamed.

 * Thanks for changing it back. I have noticed that you have made a considerable number of edits to articles related to the leaders and rulers of Dubai.  You seem to be very familiar with the subject.  I just want to say that you are doing a very good job and I hope you keep it up.  Dubai-related articles are not in the best shape and any help to improve them is very much appreciated.  Thanks again.  Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 19:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Princess Tsuguko of Takamado
61.208.183.235 is still busy deleting the "explicit sexual interests" part of Princess Tsuguko of Takamado every time it's restored. I don't want to get into a back and forth edit war, but I'm not sure what to do in terms of reporting vandalism. Can you help?--GagHalfrunt (talk) 22:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi, I removed the "trivia" section from the article. It doesn't seem very encyclopedic, and it's impossible to judge the quality of the sources because they're in Japanese.  Why don't we discuss this at Talk:Princess Tsuguko of Takamado?  I'm not convinced I'm right to remove the material, I just think there should be very high-quality references for this assertion.

Hello GagHalfrunt and Darkspots, I'm not quite sure what to do, anyway I put an edit on the article talk page which you indicated.
