I added an I article I wrote before I found out that this topic has been already written, I didnt delete any of the previous contents but made small changes on topic names
I added an I article I wrote before I found out that this topic has been already written, I didnt delete any of the previous contents but made small changes on topic names -- 173.22.255.133 ( talk) 04:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
This edit is what the IP is referring to, and it was a massive expansion of the article that basically laid out the framework of the article as it is today. Unfortunately, it contained things we would consider original research here, such as supposed e-mail interviews with related figures. I have deleted any text that references such private communications, but there may be other work that relies on OR. Something to keep in mind. -- Jprg1966聽 (talk) 03:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't have the knowledge or time to go through and fix this entry, but this article is poorly laid out, poorly sourced, and is filled with bias views of the author. Someone knowledgeable needs to overhaul this page so it doesn't remind me of a 9th grade history report. 鈥擯receding unsigned comment added by 66.244.80.8 ( talk) 03:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
This article is a piece of poop. Very biased and unprofessional. Fix.
Missing information about the Petro dollar agreement, THE most important US-Saudi issue.

This article does not mention human rights in Saudi Arabia. Right now, it only focuses on military and oil interests in both countries. For anyone unfamiliar with Saudi human rights, the country's Sharia law judiciary system discriminates against women, religious minorities, and homosexuals. For example, women are not allowed to travel without a man (or drive cars), and it is illegal for Christians to meet in prayer. The government of Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy based on Sharia law, and the country cracks down on political dissident and public demonstrations.
The article Silenced in Saudi Arabia discusses the merits of Obama staying silent on human rights in Saudi Arabia in exchange for supplying arms to Syria and pumping more gas. The article Washington's Double Standard criticizes Obama for condemning Iran, Libya and Syria for human rights while ignoring violations in Saudi Arabia, such as when Saudi Arabia sent troops to Bahrain to crush dissent during the Arab Spring. In addition, Amnesty International provides annual reports about the state of Saudi human rights and those in other countries.
I propose creating a section about controversies or criticisms, in which the article compares the U.S. approach to Saudi human rights with how other regimes with human rights violations are treated. -- 128.220.159.83 ( talk) 18:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
>> Obama to try mending ties during Saudi trip( Lihaas ( talk) 11:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)).
The article as more than a few names followed by years, which are in parentheses -- e.g. (Wafa, 2005). I have attempted to find the articles they refer to, and have found some
(e.g. Hart, Parker T. (1998). Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership. Indiana University Press. Retrieved 23 October 2014.),
but many resist searches in google. (Irvine, 1981), (Alnabrab, 2008)
Possibly they are untranslated Arabic, who knows.
Don't know what to do about them. - BoogaLouie ( talk) 19:51, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democratic Republic.
