Man did you take those photos of Dubai? If you did they were great man! Thanks for those pictures! - DubaiTerminator
Nabil, I see you are new to Wikipedia. Having been around here for almost 5 years now, I'll be glad to assist you with any questions on how to contribute. On the Dubai page, I see you have re-inserted some of the content that I had removed. I removed them for three reasons: a) Main-space articles need to be written per Wikipedia's WP:SUMMARY policies, which these didn't comply with b) Some of the edits were original research and had a point of view, which should be the case for Wikipedia articles, c) Wikipedia, unlike Wikitravel is an encyclopedia, and not a travel brochure, so topics such as "Skyline" are not relevent to the scope. You can visit Wikipedia's Featured articles page (scroll down to "Geography and places") to get an idea of the sctruture of some excellent Wikipedia articles on cities and countries.
I would advise you to read through some of the links above, as they will help you contribute more effectively on Wikipedia. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me as well. I will be removing the recently added content, because of the reasons mentioned above. If you have more specific questions about content, we can alternatively move the discussion to Talk:Dubai. Thanks, and welcome to Wikipedia. AreJay ( talk) 17:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Hiya. On your User page, you mention ACCA. Is that ACCA? Trafford09 ( talk) 15:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
OK - the reason I ask is because they actually go to different articles, as you'll see if you go into (or indeed hover the mouse over) the two links on my first message. Regards, Trafford09 ( talk) 17:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello Nabil rais2008!
I'm from German Wikipedia and it's about one of your photos:
Mohammad_nabil_rais_-_HHHR_Tower.jpg
Could you transer it to commons, so that we can use it in the German Wikipedia?

After my major edit, every part of which I provided a significant reason for changing in the edit summary, you went and reverted it without an edit summary! Can you please give reasons for reverting perfectly good edits so that I do not have to go and manually fix it all up again? -- timsdad (talk) 07:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
