[edit] Jordanian Royal Family Table

I find this addition fairly annoying and pretty useless. Not only is it overly large, but it also screws up the format quite nastily. I would like to see the template retooled and replaced, or removed. - Cybjorg 18:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Queen Rania.jpg

This image is supposedly free, but how can it be when the uploader disclaims ownership and says (s)he scanned it from a poster common in Amman, which may or may not be free? Johnleemk | Talk 09:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• If you've ever driven throughout the streets of Amman, you realize very quickly that such images don't have any copyright properties and are free for public use or duplication. - Cybjorg 16:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  That doesn't mean that the copyright holders have disclaimed copyright or explicitly granted permission for the images to be used. Under current copyright law, any image remains under copyright and presumably has all rights reserved unless there's an explicit disclaimer. Being distributed widely doesn't count as a disclaimer, let alone an explicit one. Johnleemk | Talk 16:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free image

There is a free image at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/05/images/20060509-5_p050906sc-0545jpg-1-515h.html that could be uploaded and added to the article. 140.247.248.112 00:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] article name

This article really needs to remove "Queen" 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. Even the king's article doesn't have "King" in front of it. Chris 01:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. The same thing applies to a number of the articles about royal children and members of the royal family. — Emiellaiendiay 01:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] philanthropy

I don't know, but I assume it is appropriate to call Queen Rania a philanthropist -- and I think that should be included in the header. It surely is a better introduction, and speaks more about her identity than the fact that she's someone's wife. Sure, that also should be in the header.. but the current introduction just doesn't seem right. Eshcorp 15:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

so why only mention the so called "greatness of her work" and ignore what people in Jordan talk about all the time, the corruption cases that involve her brother and family, her un-real spending for a country that is consumed with poverty... the homeless, the beggers in the streets of Amman..... the many bussiness in Amman that opend up to benefit AL-Yassin family. where did the money come from????

And the header should not include philanthropy, the whole page should be less queer if you ask me...
