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.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.130.63.3 ( talk) 22:14, 6 November 2004

Here it is written he is born Januar 25, 1945, but the article has the category of 1948 births, and in a box it is written he was born in 1948. In the most of other languages, for example my language Norwegian, it is written he is born in 1948 - and no date. In German it is written same date as in English, and the category of 1945 births, and in Russian it is written he was born in 1945 with date, but the category of 1949 births. 80.202.168.82 ( talk) 21:31, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Half of this article is dedicated to sewage from his "vacation home."
The guy is a head of state and his biography is about sewage in the seychelles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.195.223.126 ( talk) 15:40, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I'd be minded to agree. Also, his titles are wrong and there are a number of other minor issues. An edit in order to reign back the sewage stuff and correct the errors? Although nobody seems to have bothered since the comment above in January... Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 04:22, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

This passport photo shows the date of birth as September 7 1948. You cannot get a more credible source than this and I know it may look sketchy to non-UAE citizens but as a UAE passport holder, I can attest it is real. There aren't any websites online which show the full date of birth as all/most only show the year 1948. Please change the birth date to the real one. I have done it thrice so far and people keep reverting back and I am a UAE Citizen so I will not "vandalize" my President's page. @ Richi: was kind enough to link me to Wikipedia pages regarding edits and this is quoted from his response in my talk page on 10:28, 12 November 2016 (UTC): "Your edits do not conform to WP:BLP, especially the WP:IC and WP:RS parts. Just because you feel an existing entry is wrong, that's insufficient reason to violate established, hard-and-fast rules." Thank you. Elemirati ( talk) 10:47, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Could you please add the death year at the bottom of the page under the headlines "Ruler of Abu Dhabi" and "President of the United Arab Emirates". It should say 2004-2022 in both places. 194.69.14.132 ( talk) 11:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
On the second paragraph, second line, the second sentence starts "When Zayed on 2 November 2004," and should say "When Zayed died on 2 November 2004"
