I undid your edits to Nathan Zach. I was very unhappy with the lack of knowledge of technical matters visible in your edits, disrupting the article. Please study the links above to familiarise yourself with editing in Wikipedia. Thank you for your understanding. Apart from that I didn't see the point in part of your rephrasings.

I'm afraid I had to remove the link you added at Adunis, it fails WP:ELNO. You should also read WP:COI. Best wishes, Bigger digger ( talk) 00:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bigger Digger,
Yes, you are right. Adunis' work has been popularized in English using his name as "Adonis". One more problem with "Adonis" is that when this name is put into Wikipedia, the Greek god Adonis comes up and not the poet. To me, I know and love the poet as "Adunis" so it is hard to cope with "Adonis".
So perhaps we could write ADUNIS known to the English reader as ADONIS (Ali Ahmed Said).... What do you think? Aviva Butt ( talk) 20:57, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bigger Digger. I see you have already tried to fix the Adunis entry by listing the poet as Ali Ahmad Said. It is now correct, but I do not know how many people would think of him under his real name! Best. Aviva

It is a long time since I have edited Wikipedia. Wiki seems to have forgotten me. What should I do?
Please help me with...Problem with finding the "Save" button after making many changes. Problem with putting references into the References. Problem with indenting and using italics for lines from a poem. Aviva Butt ( talk) 02:15, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
