I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names

I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.

People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.

And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.

Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.

Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

merge?

We are running two articles of ISN 572.

• Salah Muhammad Salih Al Dhabi and
• Slah Muhamed Salih Al Zabe

Salah Muhammad Salih Al Dhabi is the alternate name of Slah Muhamed Salih Al Zabe so i will merge Salah Muhammad Salih Al Dhabi into this article here in a few days.

Anybody who thinks it is not a good idea? IQinn (talk) 06:50, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
