Talk:Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm pretty sure calling him a corrupt politician is not the Wikipedia way... Please correct this.
[edit] Ould
This part seems to be in all but two guys at Category:Mauritanian politicians, is it a title like 'sir', is there a whole lot of nepotism going on, or is it a west african version of the al- or el- in Arabic? Chris 07:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think Ould means "son of" in the form of Arabic spoken there. --Cam 23:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sidi
Sidi is a masculine title of respect in Western Arabic. Unless it is part of his given name, we really need to remove it and revert to name only as per WP:MOS about honorifics-Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom doesn't have her queenly title, and Akihito isn't referred to imperially in his namespace.
