The section on succession appears to contradict itself. It's not clear, when the section uses the names "Bandar" and "Saud," whether they're talking about the same person. If so, how could Saud not have wanted to be involved in government and yet have wanted to be next and line and a job as Defense Minister?

I came here to fix grammar/spelling/style, but I've chosen to leave things as they are until someone with knowledge of the actual history can come through and help out. I get the sense that this may have been written by a non-native speaker with a very good command of english; as such, I don't want to edit it for wording because I don't have a way to be sure of what the original writer actually wanted to say, since I know nothing about Saudi Arabian royal history.

I'm going to see if I can hunt down the actual editor who put this article together.

Fair use rationale for Image:Saudi-logo.jpg

Image:Saudi-logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Self-contradictory Section (Succession)

The section on succession appears to contradict itself. It's not clear, when the section uses the names "Bandar" and "Saud," whether they're talking about the same person. If so, how could Saud not have wanted to be involved in government and yet have wanted to be next and line and a job as Defense Minister?

I came here to fix grammar/spelling/style, although the problems really didn't seem that bad. I've chosen to leave things as they are until someone with knowledge of the actual history can come through and help out. I don't want to edit it for wording right now, because I don't have a way to be sure of what the original writer actually wanted to say, since I know nothing about Saudi Arabian royal history.
