Is the village of Kut mentinoed in this article the same as the article Kut. If so it's hardly a village (pop. 400,000) -- Mariocki 15:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

its the same, BUT, the population numbers of that article is circa 2003. he was born in '63, back then, it WAS a village.

He seems to meet #6 of WP:MUSIC, but it's iffy. Karmafist 15:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

References desperately needed- inconsistencies in facts raises serious questions about the accuracy of the entire article

Someone has already pointed out that this article is in desperate need of references. Here is an example of why those references are essential:

The article claims that;

"Music reading with the participation of the artist Aziz Khyoun in the Federation of Iraqi Writers, where he presented the Stranger on the Gulf and Rain Song to the great poet Badr Shakir al-Sayyab in 1986."

This claim is truly remarkable since the great poet, al-Sayyab, died in 1964, 12 years before this performance supposedly took place!!!! In fact, the article's subject, Nasser Shamma, was born in 1963, so he would have to have been just one year old when he supposedly composed these two poems and gave this performance during the great Iraqi poet's lifetime. In light of these inconsistencies, readers are left wondering whether this is a typographical error, or whether the entire thing is a fabrication? But sadly, in the absence of any reference, there is no way to check this out.

And, if the article can get it so wrong in this passage, then surely it raises serious doubts about the accuracy of the entire piece. BronHiggs (talk) 00:34, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
