According to the manual of style, we don't put personal titles (such as "Prince") in article titles. Because of this, I'm moving the article back. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 12:33, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dying?

According to Udo Ulfkotte, he's dying. Of course, anything that Ulfkotte publishes through that particular outlet needs to be closely scrutinized, but still, the matter-of-factly tone is different from his usual vitriolic drivel. But for example Line of succession to the Saudi Arabian Throne does not square with Ulfkotte's claim that Naif bin Abdul Aziz would be Sultan's successor. Nonwithstanding that Naif would certainly like to be crown prince, it sems more like wishful thinking by Ulfkotte, who has grown too close to Wahhabi-cospiracy theorism to be believed w/o double-checking.

UPI [1] has picked up the story, but their report seems to come from DEBKAfile [2] (the articles are very similar) so I'm not convinced. The link to Udo Ulfkotte's article is a 404, but I'd be interested to see how similar the DEBKAfile article is to his. SirBob42 (talk) 19:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
