Hello! I am a "fan" of the Shield and, as a pastor, have used in in many Bible studies and similar meetings. It is an excellent tool, and I hope you didn't interpret my edit as intending any disrespect (not intended) or tak any personal offense (also not offended). I look(ed) at the Shield as more of a symbol than a theological point, such as Justification, Incarnation, Resurrection, etc.
Upon further reflection, it seems to me that many, or at least some theological points are highly related to symbol (Genesis and Revelation are both FILLED with it really), and so I would have no problem if you were to restore the deleted category. I still think a category such as "Christian symbols" is most appropriate, but I will defer to your decision.
Thanks for your time! KHM03 22:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
I would hope that all Christian categories eventually relate to the "Christianity" category, but you never know. I'm not sure about more than that! KHM03 11:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Hey what's with the Trinity fetish?
I just wanted to ask how you put Arabic script on the Mahdi page. I've seen it used around Wiki pages but I'm not sure how to add it. Do you speak Arabic?

For your contributions to the CotW focusing on Girl in September, 2005, I, Mamawrites, award you, AnonMoos, this THANK YOU. |
I'm fairly aware of all the myths surrounding Jerry Lewis' alleged high popularity in France, common in the US. I reverted your sentence because I thought that the topic deserved a better explanation that a citation of a Weird Al Yankovic song... and I finally forgot to rewrite this part. Sorry about that. Reinserted something. David.Monniaux 16:01, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the note about "blundering into [my] areas of ignorance". I'll try not to bear it in mind next time a new editor's cut-and-paste move mistake crops up on my watchlist. –Hajor 15:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
AnonMoos, the sections you restored weren't just deleted -- they were extensively rewritten and re-organized into the one section on current trends in Salafism. It really really messes up the article to have one treatment of these matters above, and another, more disorganized and Salafi-POV, treatment below. I'd like you to reconsider the addition of the old sections. Zora 21:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I've listed the cleaned-up keyboard image Image:QWERTY.png, uploaded by you, for deletion because I've redrawn it ( Image:Qwerty.svg). Hope this is OK. Mysid (talk) 13:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Sorry! I've already uploaded the corrected version of the map. If you see another mistake, please let me know. Thanks for your advice! es:Usuario:Mortadelo2005
but I really don't appreciate attempts to pervert history and facts. The article doesn't mention that the Israeli occupation kills civilians, and it doesn't mention that the Palestinian armed resistance has also involved - but by no means exclusively - attacks on civilians. Both facts are reasonably well-known. The changes you wish to make would imply that all Palestinian "non-non-violent" resistance was either terrorism or suicide bombings. Not true, and see also Wikipedia:Words to avoid. Palmiro | Talk 21:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I understand that you have a big thing for "spirituality" (even though this word unfortunately doesn't convey much of anything in particular to large numbers of people) -- however, the whole point of creating a cross-link to Wikimedia Commons (which I was the first to do for this category) is to provide a practical pointer to locations where further images of interest may be found. Unfortunately Commons:Category:Spirituality doesn't meet this criterion because it's almost completely empty. Furthermore, it really doesn't suit you to try to jump on a high horse of "anti-deletionism", considering that you previously deleted the link to Commons:Category:Religious symbols -- which is as highly useful as Commons:Category:Spirituality is highly useless... - AnonMoos 02:31, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
If you truly are interested in developing the category of spiritual and religious images, then your selection of one in fifty religion subcategories at the commons - religious symbols - makes no sense either. That's why I replaced it with the beliefs category. If your criterion is current size of a category, then this is a superior choice. In addition, it goes well beyond a small sample from a few religious traditions, which is the case with the religious symbolism category. I'm more than willing to go with the larger religion category and the beliefs category. Zeroing in on the symbolism subcategory alone is too narrow. — RichardRDF talk 03:29, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

You wrote: I often do hand-written PostScript code. On some Wikipedia image pages I include the PostScript source, such as at Image:St-Faith-Arms.png. PostScript can be converted to PDF, and rendered to a raster image in a number of ways.
You also said: due to the nature of Hebrew orthography and morphological structure (see Triconsonantal root), a significant percentage of sequences of three random Hebrew letters will be meaningful Hebrew words.

The image I removed is not relevant because it is not an image of the Lindisfarne Gospels, it is modern work inspired by the Lindisfarne Gospels, of which there are thousands. (Every artist interested in Celtic Knotwork has created similar images.) This particular image does nothing to help understand the subject and could lead to serious misunderstanding. For example, that shade of green is not found in the mnauscript. Likewise, the shading found in the image (getting darker at the points and as the strands pass under other strands) is not typical of Insular art and is misleading. I have removed the image from Lindisfarne Gospels and Migration Period art for these reason. I have left it in Celtic Art because it is a fine example of modern work inspired by Insular art. Dsmdgold 14:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
well, maybe "Neopagan symbols". "Pagan" is too wide, it could include all African, Asian, Polynesian etc. native traditions. I'm not entirely sure about even the "Neopagan" category (too eclectic). Maybe just categorize as "Neopaganism" and "Symbol" case by case. Just my thoughts, though. dab (ᛏ) 20:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Some people say the above stated languages are dialects, but it is true that language is CAN ONLY be officalized via Mutual Unintelligebility. So I was just asking the question, because these modern languages can understand each other in writing; That means that the syntax of the languages are the same, but I/we can't determine if they are different languages, if I/we don't know if the Syntax of the OLd languages were mutually intelligebable. Now, the reason I did not say just '....other SYNTACTAICALLY....' but '....other in writing SYNTACTICALLY....' is because you can't understand the langages phonologically, anyways, so it I just put the '....in writing....' to clarify, but if it didn't help, then I guess that was too bad, we're all sorry, & I'm sorry for everything:'(

Yes... Zora and I have gotten very frustrated in the past when we had to clean up literally dozens of stubs... (and just like this article they used primary sources which weren't very encyclopedic and on topic.) It's just that no one types in RHM to find the basmala... and RHM root is not for all of the words of the basmala... I have no problem deleting it... just, there is no reason it should be a redirect. I know that AfD is probably frustrating... (personally, I don't care about this kind of stub because it doesn't create any real bias... unlike creating articles about Shia view of X) But... if it is violating an agreement maybe it can be deleted more easily? I'm not sure. The article needs to have a source about the root RHM specifically... instead of describing issues not directly related. I do agree with you... I just don't think it should be a redirect. If you want to change it back then I guess you can... but, it should be deleted unless it really discusses R-H-M. Although, it could easily fail on AfD because of eventualism. gren グレン 19:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Weasel words?
Here is Wikipedia's definition:
Weasel words are almost always intended to deceive or draw attention from something the speaker doesn't want emphasized, rather than being the inadvertent result of the speaker's or writer's poor but honest attempt at description.
A link that says the viewer can see text from the book by clicking on it, when it really just shows some text which is not necessarily from such a book, seems to be a good example of that.

I can understand a correction and brief instruction or hints on how to complete it, but not the casual erasure and harsh "you got it wrong, do it like this" attitude that you have.
This is at total discord with the Wikipedian / community approach that I'd come to think Wikipedia stood for. Frankly, I'm now wondering why I should bother to extend it, rather than being excited (as I was) at the thought of participating.
Frankly, your attitude to newbies is more than likely turning every person away from Wikipedia that you "correct" in such a harsh manner - in short: hindering more than you help.
If you 'correct' 10 articles each week, but turn those same 10 people away from contributing - you're simply preventing growth, rather than aiding proper growth by helping newbs.
I'm annoyed, and frankly very angry at such treatment - I appreciate you "help", but NOT your attitude.
I'm happy to be corrected - but not smacked down like a little child.

Thanks for paying attention to Border Ruffian. As part of the ongoing effort to keep entries in Category:American Civil War to a minimum, I recategorized this article in Category:Confederate States Army, along with several other articles related to Bleeding Kansas.
I can understand that you may not agree with the recat. However, this article belongs in a subcategory -- not the "top-level" category. To avoid an edit war, I would suggest simply removing the Category:American Civil War. That keeps the article in Category:Bleeding Kansas, which is a sub-cat of Category:American Civil War.

Not that I appreciate your way of approaching this, but I will give you a respectful response nonetheless.
I recreated the article Kethib/Ketiv because the title of the article itself is spelled badly. The old article with the very poorly transliterated Kethib should be DELETED because it does not represent any transliteration scheme. If the original author wanted to follow an older system, then it would be kethibh (since the Bet is aspirated = [v]), but he/she did not. Nowadays, the majority of people who comment on Hebrew either use a standardized system for transliteration, in which כתיב would look like kĕtîb, or they use a more sound-based transliteration such as ketiv. No one who actually knows Hebrew at this time (as far as my experience goes) would ever transliterate כתיב as kethib. - Yonah

Well, You are right ( As I pointed out in the arabic wiki Holy Trinity discussion page), It should be Hamza, and not just the normal Aleph, but Arabs usually neglect putting the Hamza on the character when writing, and they have adapted the same thing when typing (typing ا is easier than أ). Having studied arabic for 10 years (And it is my first language), I still forget when to put hamza or aleph. It is kinda like the french vowels in english-adopted words, how often do you type "Cafe" with a é instead of e? ie: Café ?! How come you know Arabic then ? Do you have an arabic background ? -- Lord Anubis
Thanx man, ur efforts are appreciated. Aram33 is actually the man working on Arabic Christianity articles. I am contributing to that section as well, I think me & Aram are probably the only active christians on Arabic wiki, LOL. o well.

While I definitely agree that the addition of rasterized forms of the glyphs described in U+F8FF would turn a rather useless article into something worth reading, as I mentioned on the talk page, the character space was once used as a form of copy protection, done by inserting trademarked logos into fonts to move the unauthorized duplication from the realm of legal uncertainty to concrete copyright infringement. For this reason, I'm not sure that it will fall under blanket fair use to use rasterized versions of these glyphs in the article, particularly the Apple logo. If you have any ideas of how to work with/around this, I would love to see the article greatly refined and will of course contribute rasterized glyphs from the Mac side myself where possible. -- INTRIGUEBLUE ( talk| contribs) 03:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for dropping by my talk page. I disagree with you and have commented on the talk page of the Gorean article. You asked for me to improve rather than just remove, and I have suggested that a change to Gorean beliefs would be a means of helping to avoid what is currently a clear POV problem that appears to have been unable to be rectified for at least six months. MLA 08:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
You suggested that..
I respond..
Secondly.. I just discovered that you have reverted ALL OF THE WORK that I spent an entire day working on. You simply eliminated EVERYTHING that I had written and replaced it with the old STUB of an article. This is highly unacceptable and very aggrivating! There is a code of conduct to be followed in editing Wikipedia and it certainly falls outside of these guidelines to arbitrarily decide that EVERYTHING someone has written in a lengthy expansion should all be flushed down the tube at your whim, without even the slightest regard for preserving ANY of the useful information presented. Again I remind you that the article was a simple STUB before I got there, and I expanded it significantly.
If you would like to help improve the quality of the article then try contributing to it instead of taking away from it. If you want better sources for the information cited then either request it or find it yourself. DON'T simply delete it. If you think that information listed under subsection headings is incomplete, then add to it! DON'T delete what is there! I agree that the article could use more sources! I agree that the article could use more information! So either help contribute to that or stay out of it! DON'T ARBITRARILY DELETE ALL OF MY WORK! sloth_monkey 19:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The UAE are considered part of the mashriq; or at least they consider themself to be part of "Al-mashriq al-arabi". Many things in the UAE and Qatar are named after the mashriq. For instance mashriqbank http://www.mashreqbank.com/ which is a UAE bank. The map I have on right now is the closest to "Al-mashriq al-arabi" which its map was published in one of the "Tarikh al-arab" volumes. 68.79.101.136 05:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes this is user Seblini I sent your the last message. You should do some reasearch before contributing to the masriq page. You are probably refereing to Bilad-asham or maybe the levent (term used by europeans which included syria lebanon palestine and jordan) We are talking about a term that was used by arabs accross the arab world hundreds of years ago: the mashriq. Qatar and UAE are considered part of the mashriq. some even consider the whole arab peninsula being part of the mashriq which also includes saudi arabia, yemen and oman. This map is the closest map to the mashriq map that was published in a "tarikh al-arab" volume that dates back to the 1960's. and pelase stop reverting my edits.
Dude I saw the map of the mashriq in a "tarikh al-arab" volume so dude I might have been wrong.
so dude stop being so stubborn I was wrong and you were wrong; and thats the correct map.
There is no shuch thing as the english-word mashriq. we are refering to the arabic word mashriq that has been around for several hundered years and which may be used in english conversations. and this word means where the sun rises and it rises in UAE and Qatar before rising in iraq, syria and lebanon. the UAE and qatar are the farthest arabic lands to the east. therefore they are included in what is known as the lands of the mashriq. I don't know if you really beleive that its a good argument when you say "Eastern Arabia" is not the same as Mashriq. Its like saying "middle-east" is not the same as Asia; yes its not the same but part of the middle east is part of Asia just like part of eastern arabia is part of the mashriq. It is very obvious that you don't have a lot of information about this subject and I would appreciate it if you stop making random contributions.
After discussion with another user, I have split the Speech Code article into "Speech Code" and "Speech Code Theory". Hope that clears up the confusion. What happened is I tried to make them two separate articles and they kept getting redirected before I had the chance to clean up both.

I wonder if you might have some input on this. The current article seems to take it that "Greater Syria" refers exclusively to not merely the greater-Syrian position as a whole, but specifically to the SSNP interpretation of it.

I think the opening sentence needs to be present tense. It doesn't matter that sundown towns don't really exist anymore--the definition hasn't. If a town exists where certain people are kicked out after a certain time, than by golly, it's a sundown town. Past tense doesn't make sense in a definition.

I am not intrested in Trilateral this discussion is about Arabic not what your teacher gave you for homework, you expose yourself, Arab speakers do not speak of trilaterial nothing. It isnt for me to look up Zanj i have 3 sources you have none, none meaning you have a POV while i have evidence, and my evidience you have altered to suit your POV. It is you to bring evidence, not something you read or believe which is outdated and lay in construction. Anyone from East Africa knows that people even from Southern Sudan are not called Zanj, this is common knowledge.So it isnt talking about Black people as it doesnt mean South Africans or even some other Bantu groups.-- HalaTruth(ሐላቃህ) 20:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Because i refuse to debate my language ablity because it does mean i am correct, most Arab couldnt help here, because Arabic and Ethnicity is two studies not one. Sudan means what, but you have the english for Bilad ul Sudan as the def for Zanj, just look at that one major mistake. I never challenged your knowledge or insulted you saying you dont know nothing.

No problem. I'm not sure if you can or can't, but you might want to check out Wikipedia:List of protected pages/Long-term protection. Basically, the problem is, having pages like this protected for months isn't very fair to other anonymous users, although I guess they can just get accounts. The thing is however, is that the anonymous editors actually write the majority of the text of this encyclopedia, and we don't call it "the free encyclopedia" for nothing. That's why we don't want to have pages protected for too long. Khoi khoi 06:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
You are right, there is a difference. A takfir is a Muslim who charges another with apostasy, while a kafir is a complete unbeliever. However, I'm unsure what you are referring to vis a vis my edit, since, to quote my edit summary, "takfirs" is "...probably not the self-ref for members here", meaning that even though the group's name is "Takfir wal-Hijra", its own members are not likely to apply the nisba "takfiri" to themselves. I did not mention anything about "kafiris" in my edit or its summary. So, I'm slightly confused, but thanks for reviewing the edit. - Fsotrain 09 16:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I am a "fan" of the Shield and, as a pastor, have used in in many Bible studies and similar meetings. It is an excellent tool, and I hope you didn't interpret my edit as intending any disrespect (not intended) or tak any personal offense (also not offended). I look(ed) at the Shield as more of a symbol than a theological point, such as Justification, Incarnation, Resurrection, etc.
Upon further reflection, it seems to me that many, or at least some theological points are highly related to symbol (Genesis and Revelation are both FILLED with it really), and so I would have no problem if you were to restore the deleted category. I still think a category such as "Christian symbols" is most appropriate, but I will defer to your decision.
Thanks for your time! KHM03 22:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

AnonMoos, the sections you restored weren't just deleted -- they were extensively rewritten and re-organized into the one section on current trends in Salafism. It really really messes up the article to have one treatment of these matters above, and another, more disorganized and Salafi-POV, treatment below. I'd like you to reconsider the addition of the old sections. Zora 21:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

but I really don't appreciate attempts to pervert history and facts. The article doesn't mention that the Israeli occupation kills civilians, and it doesn't mention that the Palestinian armed resistance has also involved - but by no means exclusively - attacks on civilians. Both facts are reasonably well-known. The changes you wish to make would imply that all Palestinian "non-non-violent" resistance was either terrorism or suicide bombings. Not true, and see also Wikipedia:Words to avoid. Palmiro | Talk 21:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I understand that you have a big thing for "spirituality" (even though this word unfortunately doesn't convey much of anything in particular to large numbers of people) -- however, the whole point of creating a cross-link to Wikimedia Commons (which I was the first to do for this category) is to provide a practical pointer to locations where further images of interest may be found. Unfortunately Commons:Category:Spirituality doesn't meet this criterion because it's almost completely empty. Furthermore, it really doesn't suit you to try to jump on a high horse of "anti-deletionism", considering that you previously deleted the link to Commons:Category:Religious symbols -- which is as highly useful as Commons:Category:Spirituality is highly useless... - AnonMoos 02:31, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
If you truly are interested in developing the category of spiritual and religious images, then your selection of one in fifty religion subcategories at the commons - religious symbols - makes no sense either. That's why I replaced it with the beliefs category. If your criterion is current size of a category, then this is a superior choice. In addition, it goes well beyond a small sample from a few religious traditions, which is the case with the religious symbolism category. I'm more than willing to go with the larger religion category and the beliefs category. Zeroing in on the symbolism subcategory alone is too narrow. — RichardRDF talk 03:29, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

The image I removed is not relevant because it is not an image of the Lindisfarne Gospels, it is modern work inspired by the Lindisfarne Gospels, of which there are thousands. (Every artist interested in Celtic Knotwork has created similar images.) This particular image does nothing to help understand the subject and could lead to serious misunderstanding. For example, that shade of green is not found in the mnauscript. Likewise, the shading found in the image (getting darker at the points and as the strands pass under other strands) is not typical of Insular art and is misleading. I have removed the image from Lindisfarne Gospels and Migration Period art for these reason. I have left it in Celtic Art because it is a fine example of modern work inspired by Insular art.

well, maybe "Neopagan symbols". "Pagan" is too wide, it could include all African, Asian, Polynesian etc. native traditions. I'm not entirely sure about even the "Neopagan" category (too eclectic).

Some people say the above stated languages are dialects, but it is true that language is CAN ONLY be officalized via Mutual Unintelligebility. So I was just asking the question, because these modern languages can understand each other in writing; That means that the syntax of the languages are the same, but I/we can't determine if they are different languages, if I/we don't know if the Syntax of the OLd languages were mutually intelligebable. Now, the reason I did not say just '....other SYNTACTAICALLY....' but '....other in writing SYNTACTICALLY....' is because you can't understand the langages phonologically, anyways, so it I just put the '....in writing....' to clarify, but if it didn't help, then I guess that was too bad, we're all sorry, & I'm sorry for everything:'(

Yes... Zora and I have gotten very frustrated in the past when we had to clean up literally dozens of stubs... (and just like this article they used primary sources which weren't very encyclopedic and on topic.) It's just that no one types in RHM to find the basmala... and RHM root is not for all of the words of the basmala... I have no problem deleting it... just, there is no reason it should be a redirect. I know that AfD is probably frustrating... (personally, I don't care about this kind of stub because it doesn't create any real bias... unlike creating articles about Shia view of X) But... if it is violating an agreement maybe it can be deleted more easily? I'm not sure. The article needs to have a source about the root RHM specifically... instead of describing issues not directly related. I do agree with you... I just don't think it should be a redirect. If you want to change it back then I guess you can... but, it should be deleted unless it really discusses R-H-M. Although, it could easily fail on AfD because of eventualism. gren グレン 19:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Weasel words?
Here is Wikipedia's definition:
Weasel words are almost always intended to deceive or draw attention from something the speaker doesn't want emphasized, rather than being the inadvertent result of the speaker's or writer's poor but honest attempt at description.
A link that says the viewer can see text from the book by clicking on it, when it really just shows some text which is not necessarily from such a book, seems to be a good example of that.

I can understand a correction and brief instruction or hints on how to complete it, but not the casual erasure and harsh "you got it wrong, do it like this" attitude that you have.
This is at total discord with the Wikipedian / community approach that I'd come to think Wikipedia stood for. Frankly, I'm now wondering why I should bother to extend it, rather than being excited (as I was) at the thought of participating.
Frankly, your attitude to newbies is more than likely turning every person away from Wikipedia that you "correct" in such a harsh manner - in short: hindering more than you help.
If you 'correct' 10 articles each week, but turn those same 10 people away from contributing - you're simply preventing growth, rather than aiding proper growth by helping newbs.
I'm annoyed, and frankly very angry at such treatment - I appreciate you "help", but NOT your attitude.
I'm happy to be corrected - but not smacked down like a little child.

you appear to be marked as the creator of the above image. It claims to refer to the time of the United Monarchy.

Thanks for paying attention to Border Ruffian. As part of the ongoing effort to keep entries in Category:American Civil War to a minimum, I recategorized this article in Category:Confederate States Army, along with several other articles related to Bleeding Kansas.
I can understand that you may not agree with the recat. However, this article belongs in a subcategory -- not the "top-level" category. To avoid an edit war, I would suggest simply removing the Category:American Civil War. That keeps the article in Category:Bleeding Kansas, which is a sub-cat of Category:American Civil War.

Linking numerology to Isopsephy is misleading, so better not to have it linked to anything, or else change it explicitly to the word you want.

Not that I appreciate your way of approaching this, but I will give you a respectful response nonetheless.
I recreated the article Kethib/Ketiv because the title of the article itself is spelled badly. The old article with the very poorly transliterated Kethib should be DELETED because it does not represent any transliteration scheme. If the original author wanted to follow an older system, then it would be kethibh (since the Bet is aspirated = [v]), but he/she did not. Nowadays, the majority of people who comment on Hebrew either use a standardized system for transliteration, in which כתיב would look like kĕtîb, or they use a more sound-based transliteration such as ketiv. No one who actually knows Hebrew at this time (as far as my experience goes) would ever transliterate כתיב as kethib. - Yonah

Well, You are right ( As I pointed out in the arabic wiki Holy Trinity discussion page), It should be Hamza, and not just the normal Aleph, but Arabs usually neglect putting the Hamza on the character when writing, and they have adapted the same thing when typing (typing ا is easier than أ). Having studied arabic for 10 years (And it is my first language), I still forget when to put hamza or aleph. It is kinda like the french vowels in english-adopted words, how often do you type "Cafe" with a é instead of e? ie: Café ?! How come you know Arabic then ? Do you have an arabic background ? -- Lord Anubis
Thanx man, ur efforts are appreciated. Aram33 is actually the man working on Arabic Christianity articles. I am contributing to that section as well, I think me & Aram are probably the only active christians on Arabic wiki, LOL. o well.

While I definitely agree that the addition of rasterized forms of the glyphs described in U+F8FF would turn a rather useless article into something worth reading, as I mentioned on the talk page, the character space was once used as a form of copy protection, done by inserting trademarked logos into fonts to move the unauthorized duplication from the realm of legal uncertainty to concrete copyright infringement. For this reason, I'm not sure that it will fall under blanket fair use to use rasterized versions of these glyphs in the article, particularly the Apple logo. If you have any ideas of how to work with/around this, I would love to see the article greatly refined and will of course contribute rasterized glyphs from the Mac side myself where possible. -- INTRIGUEBLUE ( talk| contribs) 03:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for dropping by my talk page. I disagree with you and have commented on the talk page of the Gorean article.

You suggested that..
I respond..
Secondly.. I just discovered that you have reverted ALL OF THE WORK that I spent an entire day working on. You simply eliminated EVERYTHING that I had written and replaced it with the old STUB of an article. This is highly unacceptable and very aggrivating! There is a code of conduct to be followed in editing Wikipedia and it certainly falls outside of these guidelines to arbitrarily decide that EVERYTHING someone has written in a lengthy expansion should all be flushed down the tube at your whim, without even the slightest regard for preserving ANY of the useful information presented. Again I remind you that the article was a simple STUB before I got there, and I expanded it significantly.
If you would like to help improve the quality of the article then try contributing to it instead of taking away from it. If you want better sources for the information cited then either request it or find it yourself. DON'T simply delete it. If you think that information listed under subsection headings is incomplete, then add to it! DON'T delete what is there! I agree that the article could use more sources! I agree that the article could use more information! So either help contribute to that or stay out of it! DON'T ARBITRARILY DELETE ALL OF MY WORK! sloth_monkey 19:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The UAE are considered part of the mashriq; or at least they consider themself to be part of "Al-mashriq al-arabi". Many things in the UAE and Qatar are named after the mashriq. For instance mashriqbank http://www.mashreqbank.com/ which is a UAE bank. The map I have on right now is the closest to "Al-mashriq al-arabi" which its map was published in one of the "Tarikh al-arab" volumes. 68.79.101.136 05:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes this is user Seblini I sent your the last message. You should do some reasearch before contributing to the masriq page. You are probably refereing to Bilad-asham or maybe the levent (term used by europeans which included syria lebanon palestine and jordan) We are talking about a term that was used by arabs accross the arab world hundreds of years ago: the mashriq. Qatar and UAE are considered part of the mashriq. some even consider the whole arab peninsula being part of the mashriq which also includes saudi arabia, yemen and oman. This map is the closest map to the mashriq map that was published in a "tarikh al-arab" volume that dates back to the 1960's. and pelase stop reverting my edits.
Dude I saw the map of the mashriq in a "tarikh al-arab" volume so dude I might have been wrong.
so dude stop being so stubborn I was wrong and you were wrong; and thats the correct map.
There is no shuch thing as the english-word mashriq. we are refering to the arabic word mashriq that has been around for several hundered years and which may be used in english conversations. and this word means where the sun rises and it rises in UAE and Qatar before rising in iraq, syria and lebanon. the UAE and qatar are the farthest arabic lands to the east. therefore they are included in what is known as the lands of the mashriq. I don't know if you really beleive that its a good argument when you say "Eastern Arabia" is not the same as Mashriq. Its like saying "middle-east" is not the same as Asia; yes its not the same but part of the middle east is part of Asia just like part of eastern arabia is part of the mashriq. It is very obvious that you don't have a lot of information about this subject and I would appreciate it if you stop making random contributions.

I am not intrested in Trilateral this discussion is about Arabic not what your teacher gave you for homework, you expose yourself, Arab speakers do not speak of trilaterial nothing. It isnt for me to look up Zanj i have 3 sources you have none, none meaning you have a POV while i have evidence, and my evidience you have altered to suit your POV. It is you to bring evidence, not something you read or believe which is outdated and lay in construction.

No problem. I'm not sure if you can or can't, but you might want to check out Wikipedia:List of protected pages/Long-term protection. Basically, the problem is, having pages like this protected for months isn't very fair to other anonymous users, although I guess they can just get accounts. The thing is however, is that the anonymous editors actually write the majority of the text of this encyclopedia, and we don't call it "the free encyclopedia" for nothing. That's why we don't want to have pages protected for too long. Khoi khoi 06:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
You are right, there is a difference. A takfir is a Muslim who charges another with apostasy, while a kafir is a complete unbeliever. However, I'm unsure what you are referring to vis a vis my edit, since, to quote my edit summary, "takfirs" is "...probably not the self-ref for members here", meaning that even though the group's name is "Takfir wal-Hijra", its own members are not likely to apply the nisba "takfiri" to themselves. I did not mention anything about "kafiris" in my edit or its summary. So, I'm slightly confused, but thanks for reviewing the edit. - Fsotrain 09 16:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
