Abdelaziz bin Rashid Al Nuaimi
Okay, stub because it's short? That's pretty much all we know about the man, the history is VERY sketchy. So from that POV it's C class? Also importance=low. Would we rate a former King of England as low importance? Because this guy was the former Ruler of Ajman. Granted he wasn't a very interesting Ruler, but he had the job title. No pressure/lobbying, would genuinely like to get your view. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:14, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Alexandermcnabb: Updated the rating. Thank you for your work. --Meno25 (talk) 14:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, it's my pleasure. And the Bani Qitab were pretty crucial to the development of the UAE's history - they're deserving of more status. They'd be shocked at a 'low', truly. These guys controlled the interior of the country up until the 1960s. Controlled it, I tell you... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Alexandermcnabb: Updated this article also. Thank you for taking the time to make this corrections. Best wishes. --Meno25 (talk) 14:21, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
That's no problem. I know these are 'assisted' assessments. Is it useful if a) I nag you when they seem at odds with UAE priorities or b) change them myself? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:25, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
