Saudi Arabia

Hey Eagleamn. I don't understand what you meant by the cinemas thing. But my concern over the demographics section was whether there are sources which say that most westerners live in the eastern province. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 03:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay thanks. I have adjusted the cinema statments in the article. Next time please adjust rather than remove. Thanks. Btw, what do you have again Wahabbis? Aren't you native Saudi? --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 03:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Well there is some bias against Wahabbis showing but no problem. :) Just wondering though if you are not Sunni Saudi, then what are you? Shi'a Saudi? Christian Saudi? --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 03:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. See you around. a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 03:46, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Rashidi

I see that you have removed part of the quote from William Gifford Palgrave on the Rashidi page, and placed a NPOV on the article. I must confess I´m quite flabbergasted by this. Firstly: I really do not see or understand by which authority you can change/rewrite a quote that comes from a book which was published 140 years ago? You (or I) might agree -or disagree- with mr. Palgrave, but that does not give either of us the right to change his views/writings. A quote is a quote is a quote. Now, you might argue: A: That I have quoted Palgrave wrongly. If that is the case, then point it out to me, and I will of course change the quote so it will be exactly what Palgrave wrote. B: that what Palgrave wrote was wrong. Then you should write that in the Palgrave-article, preferably with references to scolars who support this view (in accordance with PW´s NOR-policy.) C: you could argue that the quote should not be in this article (In which case I will inform you why it was included)

I hope you will inform me about what "factual mistakes that are biased against Shia" the Rashidi article contains. Thank you. Huldra 04:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Btw; just to make myself clear: if you think the quote from Palgrave is insulting and want to take away the whole quote; well, I will not protest too much. My intention with including the quote was to show that there were rulers that had a more inclusive and tolerant view of other groups than the Wahabis did. I took the quote from the Al Rasheed book, but I have just gotten the Palgrave-book itself, so I´m sure I can find another quote which illustrate my point in a manner which is not insulting to any group. I will, however, protest quite strongly on letting the Palgrave-quote stand as it is: it is simply not correct. Now, it looks as if Palgrave wrote this... and he never did (as far as I know). It is simply wrong to let it stand as it is. Regards, Huldra 08:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC) PS: have you read the Palgrave book?

Hmm, now I see that you just rv you edit before I wrote my last bit, well, as I said: if there is anything you find insulting in the article: please tell me. Regards, Huldra 08:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

UT pictures

I have seen your additions to the UT article, WRT to the pictures. I don't think that the pictures will survive the peer review process because of their copyright status. If you want to keep your images copyright, that's fine, but be aware that another user will probably replace them with pictures that have been released under the GFDL or into the Public Domain. If you have questions about this, please contact me. If someone does not before me, I will remove the images when I get back to campus and take more to replace them. -Scm83x 09:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• I noted your comments on the talk page and I am wondering if you will release the images under GFDL or PD. Then, they will be more likely to survive the peer review process. -Scm83x 09:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:King_Fahd_Causeway.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:King_Fahd_Causeway.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 07:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

It's OK, don't be sorry for that. Actually I think it may look like, like I feel I am something better, so it's not on my user page. I feel equal with other conscious editors. It is only stated in User:Darwinek/UB, userboxes section. Saw you are from Saudi Arabia, I am interested in Middle East, from time to time adding some geo-stub articles, like recently Bisha or Rafha. Lot of pretty mountains in Saudi Arabia still need articles. - Darwinek 23:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 23:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Translation request

Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 15:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Looks like the Arabic version can benefit more from the English one than the other way round. I will post your translation to the talk page of one of the articles and point to it at the other one. Nameme 21:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

re Diopsoidea

I don't see this as a speedy. It does have info, in the form of the taxobox. Someone interested in Diopsoidea would find on that page the proper classification of it (kingdom, phylum, and on down). I pulled the speedy tag, and usually when I do that I move the article to Prod or AfD, but I didn't do that here, just because I'm tired, although you're welcome to. I do take your point -- there's not actual free text in the article -- so I can see why you did that, I just don't personally agree. Herostratus 08:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

My360

Please don't restore the prod tag on articles. Prod is for uncontroversial deletions only, and as the notice says, removing the tag is the correct way of objecting to the deletion. Please see WP:PROD#What this process is NOT for. I'm moving it to AfD for you.

Can you please also note in your edit summary that you're prodding an article? It seems kind of important, and if nothing else, it makes it possible to look at the page history to tell if an article has been prodded. NickelShoe 22:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I restored the prod tag because the editor who removed it neither explained nor changed anything in the article. The editor might have blanked the whole article as well including the tag, reverting it will cause the tag to be "restored;" or should it also be removed in that case? Thanks. - Eagle^talk 22:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

An objection is an objection, regardless of whether the reasoning is explained. Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion#Reason for removal and [[Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion#Re-{{prod}}ed pages?]] tackle these questions. Consensus seems to be that removing the deletion notice is obviously an objection to the deletion. Blanking the page is almost certainly an endorsement to the deletion, which might even make it speediable as author request in some cases.

The annoying thing is that the counter resets when the tag is removed and restored, so if you get the feeling a person might blank it again, you might send it to AfD just to keep the timer from resetting over and over. NickelShoe 22:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Zerida report on WP:RFI

It is important to note the line on the protection template that says "(Protection is not an endorsement of the current page version)". Protection is only there to force editors to talk about changes rather than continually revert them. In this case whilst Zerida has removed messages from their talk page, Zerida has given explanations on the category's talk page and you should continue to discuss the issue there. The length of time that a particular edit has stood for, or the 'original' version of a page, does not really matter (as Wikipedia is continually being edited and hopefully improved!). Possibly a Third opinion might be useful here. Petros471 15:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello. The reason I listed the situation is to have a third opinion (usually it's hard to get one in a category talk page). Since, I suppose, you are familiar with the subject matter now, would you like to give your opinion? Thanks. - Eagletalk 15:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't dive in with my opinion as I was trying to stay neutral. However as you asked and this does seem to be a fairly simple content dispute I will attempt to give my views over on Category talk:Egyptian Americans. Petros471 16:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Zerida has proposed a compromise over on the category talk page, which sounds reasonable to me. Could you please take a look at it, to see if you agree. If so the page protection can be lifted to allow the relevant changes to be make. Thanks, Petros471 12:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I based it on looking at the article -- I couldn't tell much from just the two words you quoted here, since I couldn't find waw-ya-kaf-alif in my Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic at all. My fluency in Arabic is somewhat limited, but based on my perusal of the Arabic article, it's hard to see what else it could be -- the highlighted phrase دين الويكا الوثني "the pagan religion of wee-kah" kind of gives it away...

Hi there. I just thought maybe prince names should be reserved for provinces, on which they are appointed. For cities, it's best to state the mayor's name.
