Your "source"

You will provide a quote from "Sykes, Percy, History of Persia, Vol. 1, (Routledge and Kegan Paul: London, 1969), pg. 492" to support your inclusion of "Arab Christians". If you do not provide a quote from said source, I will notify an Admin of your falsifying information from a source. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:15, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a pretty serious accusation and so far I cannot find anything to suggest that Kansas Bear is wrong, so I also will be very interested in your explanation. I am an WP:Administrator. Dougweller (talk) 15:43, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

There is much I would wish to discuss on the issue, and when I have a few spare moments (as I am unfortunately somewhat busy at present), I will certainly do so. However, I wish to clarify what exactly is being disputed. I had, perhaps erroneously, assumed that it was fairly common knowledge that there were Arab Christian tribes who were indeed involved in various engagements in the time of Muslim conquests. If you believed the example I had provided was inadequate or indeed a "fake source", what of other examples, such as their involvement in the Battle of Dawmat al-Jandal, as accounted by Pakistani historian, Agha Ibrahim Akram in his The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin al-Waleed, His Life and Campaigns? (Nat. Publishing. House, Rawalpindi (1970) [ISBN 0-7101-0104-X]) Torontas (talk) 23:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Still no quote from the source you used, yet you have had plenty of time to stalk my edits and canvass editors with whom I have had discussions/conflicts with. FYI, Dougweller is an Admin, not my friend per your ranting at Callanecc and Adam Bishop's talk page. Along with comments about my religion.[1] Pity you just couldn't provide the quote, assuming you even can. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
