Hi @CB at ADNOC:. I've made a number of the changes you've requested, but some of the changes regard the removal of sourced material and I don't believe that should change - well sourced material that includes pertinent information (even if it's a little more detail than ideally the company would like to see shared in an article) would always be retained in WP, while unsourced information should be challenged and removed (I have in fact removed some unsourced content as well). Do let me know if this works out for you, but do please also review these changes with Wikipedia policies in mind - sourced fact, sourced material is generally kept in, unsourced material challenged and removed. There is a policy WP:DUE that manages the assignment of due and undue weight in an article and I think the overall position as it stands is fair (to the elements you have requested changes, at least, haven't had time to look at the rest).

Here's today's Guardian article, describing the attempts of the subject of this article to improve his depiction here:
Cop28 president’s team accused of Wikipedia ‘greenwashing’
Exclusive: UAE using site to ‘control narrative’ amid criticism of oil boss leading climate summit, say critics

Exclusive: UAE using site to 'control narrative' amid criticism of oil boss leading climate summit, say critics.
Seriously, can someone explain that to me?
The account @CB at ADNOC is literally ran by Sultan Al Jaber's team. They are paid for creating a good image, requesting to remove negative and add positive information. Why should Wikipedia cater someone's commercial interests, let alone interests of a fossil fuel company that is trying to infiltrate climate conferences, so it can carry on destroying the world? 148.252.133.105 (talk) 18:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

This article currently makes quite extensive use of The National, a UAE newspaper, as a source. Most of the uses aren't particularly controversial, as they are mostly press release-style announcements of Al Jaber doing this or that. However, it appears that The National is owned by a royal and PM of the UAE. We thus have a source here owned by the UAE government (or rather someone with immediate stakes in said government) reporting on issues regarding the UAE government, which calls reliability and notability of The National as a source into question. I'd rather not use it in this article but I'd like to hear some input. Cortador (talk) 08:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Addendum: there's also some other possibly not reliable sources: Energy Voice is owned by the carbon industry, and advertises itself as being able to "provide members with a unique marketing platform". Gulf Business and Gulf News are owned or partially owned by Obaid Al Tayer, who was an Emirati minister until recently.

Hi all, I disclose that I have a conflict of interest and would like to suggest the following changes to the article to bring it up to date.
Alexandermcnabb and Cortador I note you have responded thoughtfully to previous requests on this subject matter and would appreciate your input on these suggestions - many thanks in advance!
1. The introduction currently reads:
Al Jaber is the UAE's special envoy for climate change, and the president-designate of the COP28 climate talks. His appointment as head of the COP28 climate talks was strongly criticized by environmentalists due to his track record at ADNOC. As head of ADNOC, Al Jaber has overseen a substantial expansion of gas and oil production at the same time that fossil fuel industries are under pressure to reduce output in order to mitigate climate change.
Can this be updated from designate to president (as he did carry out this role), and could a sentence be added to indicate the international response to his work in this capacity. The new text would read as follows:
Al Jaber is the UAE's special envoy for climate change, and the president of the COP28 climate talks. Following the summit, his role as president has been recognized due to the delivery of a climate agreement that contained language directing a "transition away" from fossil fuels for the first time. His appointment as head of the COP28 climate talks was strongly criticized by environmentalists due to his track record at ADNOC. As head of ADNOC, Al Jaber has overseen a substantial expansion of gas and oil production at the same time that fossil fuel industries are under pressure to reduce output in order to mitigate climate change.
The following sources corroborate this:
2. Similarly, there is no update on the results of COP28 in the COP28 Presidency section. Could the following or similar be added:
Under Al Jaber's presidency, the summit committed to a climate agreement containing language directing a "transition away from fossil fuels". This was the first United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP event where an agreement was reached which suggested such a direction for fossil fuels.
Again, the following sources confirm this result:
3. In the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company section, the third paragraph refers to output, but this figure actually refers to production capacity and should be changed accordingly i.e. "As head of ADNOC, Al Jaber has sought to increase ADNOC's crude oil production capacity from 3 million barrels of oil a day in 2016 to 5 million by 2030."
4. Also in the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company section, the first line is "Al Jaber has tried to position himself as an environmental advocate". The wording of the original New York Times source refers to "serving as an environmental advocate" rather than "trying to position" but it is hard to describe levels of advocacy without subjectivity. As the Sultan's actions/role both as a climate advocate and as a fossil fuels executive are covered amply elsewhere in the paragraph and in the rest of the article, and the paragraph still makes sense without this sentence, I would like to suggest removing this sentence to preserve a neutral tone.
Many thanks for considering these changes. Dedemocha (talk) 17:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
