Older talk[edit]

I'm unfamilier with Iraqi names, but I remember that their structure is: given name + father's name + grandfather's name + great-grandfather's name... So, isn't he Udai Saddam Hussein? Saddam is his father (the President of Iraq) and Hussein is his grandfather. -- Nanshu 13:22 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)

Who was Saddam's father? Susan Mason

The format is given name + father's name + grandfather's name + clan name, therefore he is Udai Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti and his father is Saddam Hussein 'Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti - Efghij 22:28 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

My question is: is it ok to call him "Uday Hussein"? Given the naming convention, it sounds like his father'name is Hussein. --Nanshu 23:57 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)

That;s what the news media uses. We just use whatever form people are familiar with. --Jiang

Do we have some independent confirmation of their deaths yet? Right now if the American military told me that one and one made two, I'd ask for a cite. - Montréalais

Considering the attention being paid to topic article, it's probably safe to leave the current death date in there - if it's discovered that the American government is lying again, it'll get fixed pretty quickly. Bryan

Uday Hussein? That tyrant, eh? Rickyrab 22:37 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I'm just trying to get rid of some of the "eating babies" type stuff by looking through to see if there's things that don't seem to be supported by... well, anything at all. The one I'm currently looking at is the accusation of Uday forcing a french couple to have sex at gunpoint. If a French foreign minister made this claim, it should have been big news, and be well evidenced. I can't find a thing about it anywhere but Wikipedia. Can anyone back this up? We all know Uday was pretty awful, but we want to at least make sure that when we're reporting rumors as fact, that they're at least common rumors with some degree of backing ;) Rei

About rounds being fired[edit]

I added a quick note about rounds being fired, and wanted to say a few more things but ran the risk of getting wordy on something note entirely relevant to the article. I was going to continue on to say that "celebration" and "mourning" generally have the same physical appearance in the Arab world. I would gladly appreciate if someone more experienced with Wikipedia would edit my comments to include this in a less wordy manor. Greatly appreciated --Ahmed Stephens 21:06, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Gegeo Murder[edit]

"Gegeo had recently introduced Saddam to a beautiful, younger woman, Samira Shahbandar, who later became Saddam's second wife. Uday took this as an insult to his mother (his father's first cousin)." <-- That makes no sense. Which Saddam is in reference? I'd assume Uday, because that is who the article is about. Therefore, what did Uday take as an insult? Jachin 21:59, 19 October 2005 (UTC) It is your question "which Saddam is in reference?" that makes no sense. There is only one Saddam. I do think a lot of the allegations do not make sense and are based on one man's last minute interview. However, the original's author's statements that Gegeo introduced Samira to (President) Saddam and that Uday was insulted because Saddam married Samira are perfectly clear. Again, there is only one Saddam in this story. Saddam is a first namea; so the only Saddam is Saddam Hussein, the father and former Iraqi President. The son's first name is Uday - not Saddam. Sons take their father's first name as their middle name name. So, Uday Saddam Hussein is the son, and Saddam (with no need for any other clarification) is the father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B049:EA38:C393:B1F0:CF5D:8A59 (talk) 16:42, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Very minor question: Death or Killing?[edit]

Should the sections on the respective brothers' articles relating to their death be renamed to "Death" or still stay as "Killing"? - OpalYosutebito (talk) 04:27, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
