Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan has still not been elected as a president of the UAE. Instead, Shaikh Maktoom, the governor of Dubai, is practising presidency temporarly untill a new president will be elected within 30 days from Novemer 2, 2004, a day in which Shikh Zayed passed away.

Since the world's press, quoting the UAE official news agency [1] [2] has reported otherwise, you will need to come up with evidence to support your case if your comment is to stay. Note also [[3]], the official site for the Ministry of Information and Culture in the UAE, which at the time of posting leads with a story of President Sheik Khalifa receiving Jacques Chirac. The King of Bahrain is quoted as saying '....we welcome the mandate taken by the Supreme Council to name Sheikh Khalifa the President of the UAE, wishing him all the success, as he is the right successor for the right predecessor”, said the Bahrain King in a statement upon arrival here.' It all seems pretty much like an open and shut case to me. jguk 23:15, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Nahyan/Nahayan

The spelling in the title doesn't match that of the article. Grusl (talk) 02:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting. A similar discussion just began on Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan's talk page. I think everything should be changed to "Nahyan." The official UAE government website uses "Nahyan." Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 02:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I agree! Grusl (talk) 07:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I will go through the entire article and change the name, right now. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 18:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Y Done There was only one incorrect name in the article. I guess the main problem was just the title, I changed that too. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 18:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
