Elias Vandalizing "Ancient Arabia"

Although I tried to be nice to him and explain to him how Arabia is a geographic term more than a race. I showed him how historians confirm thta the Akkadians lived in Arabia. Yet he insists on vandalizing the article because he thinks the Akkadians are not Arabs in the modern since! He used a sockpuppet (dbachmann) he used him in his edit wars in the Aramean article and other Assyrian related articles. Can you please protect the article? or try to talk some sense into him, because he is ignoring my attempts to reason with him.--Skatewalk 12:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

What's up bro. Are these maps ok for wikipedia? [1]. It would be nice if we could use this one [2] and this one [3]. Slacker 09:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguating UAE emirates and capitals

At several of the talk pages for the individual Emirates of the UAE, queries or proposals have been put forth for having separate articles for the emirates and their eponymous capitals (e.g. here and here. As of now, two of the emirates have been disambiguated from their capitals: Abu Dhabi (emirate) / Abu Dhabi and Ajmān / Ajmān (city). If you are interested in discussing a comprehensive approach to the issue, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Western Asia#Disambiguating UAE emirates and capitals. — AjaxSmack 19:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Ancient Arabia

Hi Ammar, I wonder if you could help me find relivant iformation about that akkadians where acuatlly arabs? since i bleive thats uncorect but its still listed that they are?. thanksBalu2000 19:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Inappropiate warnings

Please do not give warnings to a user if your in a content dispute this is not vandalism. --Vonones 22:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes but this is obvious this is not vandalism; but this is a content dispute, you should try comprising with him instead of trying to get him blocked. --Vonones 22:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to edit the article if you disagree please note it on the talkpage I will add references of scholars/historians for both parties hopefully. --Vonones 22:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, but read the discussion page anyways . Ammar (^Talk - ^{Don't Talk}) 22:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Arab Jews

Hey Ammar, how are you?, I wonder if you could help improving the article Arab Jews it look like a mess.I am also trying to putting "Arabic" into the ethnobox on Jew but it seems that some Jews are unhappy with the facts. check discussion Balu2000 16:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

well yes, its pretty much sorted but look at the intro, it is used "Hareidi" Judaism wich only refer to Ashkenazim, but i am not so sure, i though t you knew this hehe thanks anyway.

Dhruma + Maps

Hello Ammar. Can I move "Dhurma" back to "Dhruma"? Because nobody pronounces it "Dhurma" :).

Regarding the maps I showed you, aren't they in the public domain because they were generated by the British Naval Intelligence? Also, what license should I use if I want to upload them, and are they eligible for Commons? Thanks. -- Slacker 01:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

9aba7 el ward, but it's evening where I am right now ;) "Dhruma" is not technically correct either in Fus7a; the Fus7a way of writing it is "Dharma" or "Dharama". Maybe I can look at some English-languages sources that mention the town and try to find the most common spelling and use that? -- Slacker 01:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok man , you are the expert here :) i thought you wrote Dhruma by mistake Ammar (^Talk - ^{Don't Talk}) 01:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

A reduced entry on Ancient Arabia

Can you please evaluate before I start editing on this subject?

The Akkadians and Amorites in Ancient Arabia

The Akkadians 2400BC

The earliest known events in Arabian history are migrations from the peninsula into neighbouring areas . Around 3500 BC, Semitic-speaking peoples of Akkadian origin migrated from their homeland in the Arabian peninsula into the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia, supplanted the Sumerians, and became the Mesopotamian Akkadians (see Akkadians). The Ammuru/Amorites is another group of Semites left Arabia around 2500 BC during the Early Bronze Age and settled along the Levant, mixing in with the local populations there. Some of these migrants became the Amorites and Canaanites of later times

• Bernard Lewis mentions in his book The Arabs in History:

"According to this, Arabia was originally a land of great fertility and the first home of the Semitic peoples. Through the millennia it has been undergoing a process of steady desiccation, a drying up of wealth and waterways and a spread of the desert at the expense of the cultivable land. The declining productivity of the peninsula, together with the increase in the number of the inhabitants, led to a series of crises of overpopulation and consequently to a recurring cycle of invasions of the neighbouring countries by the Semitic peoples of the peninsula. It was these crises that carried the Assyrians, Aramaeans, Canaanites (including the Phoenicians and Hebrews), and finally the Arabs themselves into the Fertile Crescent."

Stop It

stop falsely claiming that I am vandalising the Gulf War page. If you would look at the talk page there is a discussion section I started back in JUNE listing how impractical it is to list all the commanders from all 30+ coalition countries, and that listing only the overall commander is much more practical. The continued posting of a vandalism warning, when none is warranted, is itself vandalism. I have reverted your post on my talk page as such. Batman2005 01:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I have read the sources and researched the topic extensively. Not to mention I was there. Norman Schwarskopf was in charge of the Coalition. There was no "co-commander" In the command matrix there was Schwarzkopf, then below and subordinate to him were the leaders of the other coalition countries. There is absolutely no debating this point. Khalid was no more a co-commander than the commander of the French or British forces in the war. Every history book in the entire world agrees that Schwarzkopf was the commander of the UN Coalition in the Gulf. It's not americanized, it's fact. You're pushing your pro-Saudi viewpoint by only listing Khalid and not the 30+ others. We can't list them all...we we need not list any except for the supreme commander of the coalition. I'm sorry he happened to be American, but that's the way it is. Batman2005 08:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Lets just continue this on the article discussion page so that all the discussion is in one place. Batman2005 08:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Improving the Egyptian article

I added it to the Arab world project, it needs to be fixed so we can clearly mention the non Arab minority in Egypt (the Copts) and the Arabized and Ethnic Arab muslims. The article is a mess now, plenty of Afrocentric and Anti-Arab trolling.--Skatewalk 04:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Egyptian Arabic

Egyptian Arabic (Maṣrī مصري) is an Arabic dialect.

• The only language to branch out of Arabic is Maltese. Can you please help me organize these articles?.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/United Nations Parliamentary Assembly

Hello, I have created an article about the UN Parliamentary Assembly, a proposed world body that would be similar to Europarl. Please review and vote on the WP:FAC nomination. Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 01:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok

Ok, I've just realized that Jeddah is a good article, but what really needs cleaning up is Riyadh, we need to work on it. Why is there a footnote saying Riyadhs HDI is 0.843, The UN doesn't measure HDI for any cities in Saudi Arabia. Secondly It wouldn't be 0.843, it would be around 0.9 to be honest, because it has the best standard of living in Saudi, the best education and probably the highest life expectancy in Saudi too. It's per capita income is thought to be around $30,000 or more. I do actually have a HDI calculator, you can download it from the site.

The average GDP per capita income for Saudi is around $15,000-$16,000 The average life expectancy for Saudi is 74.3 (Estimate on the Saudi Website) 75.9 est on the world factbook. The literacy rate is 83% (UN) Gross enrolement is 76% Which makes the average HDI for Saudi Arabia 0.812.

If you can find me this information for Riyadh or Jeddah, I would be able to calculate it's HDI.

Thanks a lot.

Muzammil01 (talk) 17:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Jeddah

Since the Jeddah article is much further developed than the one for Riyadh, why don't we focus on Jeddah first and try to make it a GA? I've just skimmed over it and I think it's a doable task. -- Slacker (talk) 22:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Let's just follow the critique on the Talk page. For one thing, we can try fleshing out the lists, bullets, and sub-sections and turning them into prose. We can add stuff about the city government too (branch municipalities, municipal assembly, etc.). The critique seemed satisfied with the History section, so we can leave that aside for the time being. -- Slacker (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Abdullah O. Nasseef requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 69.86.55.20 (talk) 06:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Saudi Arabia Project Template

Hi! I think there is a problem with one of the Saudi templates. I think you can help me because you have the template barnstar. The problem: One of them adds the talk pages of articles to Category:Saudi Arabia stubs. This is a problem because some articles are in that category twice. It is also a problem because sometimes only the talk page is in the category. I can't find which template is causing this. Can you help me find the template and the template's page?
