Ad Nauseam, not Nasuem
"...which stages the story ad nasuem..." is incorrect; the term is "ad nauseam." If the word is misspelled in the passage being quoted, there should be a after "nasuem." ~~Mpaniello~~
citations needed
"Hussein's rule was a repressive dictatorship notorious for it's human rights abuses." You cite that he was a dictator but not that he was notorious for human rights abuses. While it may seem obvious (sic) to westerners it needs a solid citation. -thanks

Please checkout my diverted Misplaced Pages article
I ask the English Misplaced Pages editors why my article about Saddam's proclamation doesn't get published? this article exists in 4 other languages (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Kurdish), then why not it doesn't get published in English?
the article's name is: "Three things that God should not have created: Persians, Jews and flies"
please tell me the reason of "not publishing" it to know.
I assume it's because there isn't much content to fill a Misplaced Pages article. Mention of the pamphlet could easily be inserted into the article on its author, Khairallah Talfah (whose article does in fact mention it) or in the article on Saddam. --Ismail (talk) 23:42, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I am not aware of Saddam personally torturing anyone. Ba'ath members were known to do that to political enemies but so has every Iraqi army to ever exist. Erose9210 (talk) 18:56, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.
Referencing and citation: criterion met
