Tank Recognition

It looks like a Saudi M60A3. Cheers! JonCatalán^(Talk) 16:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Top-level subdivisions of Oman

Hi friend, I know you are from Saudi Arabia, but perhaps you can answer a question regarding Oman, since the explanation might be hidden in the language? Oman is administratively subdivided into nine top-level units: five Muhafazah (governorate, محافظة) and four Mintaqah (area or region, منطقة). Now what is the big difference between the two? Does one type have more autonomy and self-determination, and the other is more directly ruled by a representative of the central government?--Ratzer (talk) 07:03, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Mosque.jpg

File:Mosque.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Mosque (1).jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Mosque (1).jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture idea: Why not retake the Saudi Arabian Airlines headquarters?

Hey Ammar! Do you have a more powerful camera? If so, why not retake your shot of the Saudi Arabian Airlines headquarters? WhisperToMe (talk) 23:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Please take your time :) WhisperToMe (talk) 00:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- As a reminder, when you do retake the photo, please upload it to the Wikimedia Commons and please do not include a timestamp. Thank you very much :) WhisperToMe (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hopefully the Saudi authorities should grant permission soon (especially since they let you take one before). In the US we don't need to ask permission to take photos from the outside on public property. Anyway, good luck to you, and I wish that the Saudi authorities will grant permission soon.

Qishlah of Ha'il

Just noticed this article. Maybe it's name should be put inline with the similar structures at Jeddah and Mecca? Added it to the forts category. Maybe the category should be broadened to include more types of military or defensive buildings of different ages? --T.woelk (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New articles

I have heavily edited the new article National Museum of Saudi Arabia and have created the related article King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre. Can you please see to it that they get the correct categories and templates related to the work of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Saudi Arabia. As I may not be able to work on them for some time I would be gratefull if someone could check the spelling and transliteration as well as expand the wikilinking. I am also not aware of any articles related to these in the arabic wikipedia, so would need help in detecting interwiki issues. Of course I dont think of them anywhere near complete yet ;-) hoping you can help me in gaining attention to them and related subjects (such as historical sites, other important museums and historical structures as the not yet covered Murabba' palace) Many thanks in advance. --T.woelk (talk) 20:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Al Farooj Fresh

Ammar shaker, I came to your page as you are still in the category:translators ar-en. We are discussing Al Farooj Fresh at AfD and I think it's close to being notable with English language sources, however it's probably not quite there. I wonder if you could have a look for relevant Arabic sources and bring them to the party please?! I note your deletionist user box means you might not be keen to, if you could let me know here if you're not interested! Thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 12:24, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubayrah

Hello Ammar Shaker, the largest town of the Wadi Halfa Salient before its flooding by Lake Nasser was Dubayrah (after which town the map sheet in the article is named). How is that written in Arabic? Thank you.--Ratzer (talk) 19:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I personally never heard about this city but It could be:

(1) دبيرة - Dubayrah

(2) الدبيرة - The Dubayrah (Because most arabic city names inclues THE)

(3) ضبيرة - Dubayrah with Heavy D

(4) الضبيرة - The Dubayrah with Heavy D

I assume the second one is the correct spelling but to make sure please ask a sudanese or egyptian national maybe they have a better back ground. A M M A R 08:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ammar, a friend in the AR-WP decided that (1) is the correct one, ar:ويكيبيديا:سفارة#Dubayrah_in_Arabic.3F.--Ratzer (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas for a series of articles you could work on: Jeddah neighborhoods

Hey Ammar! If you are wondering what to write about, you could try to add articles about Jeddah neighborhoods: (concerning category Category:Neighbourhoods in Jeddah) - I like to write about Houston neighborhoods and describe their culture and the institutions within them. I also like to drive out to areas of Houston just so I can photograph the neighborhoods.

If you want, you can do the same and write about Jeddah neighborhoods. When you do so, try to cite sources that discuss the neighborhood in detail. Preferably they should be in English (maybe Arab News, similar Saudi English newspapers, or foreign newspapers, if any discuss specific Jeddah neighborhoods). You can also use Arabic sources, but please include the relevant text in the citation.

So far there are two Houston neighborhoods that have "Good Article" status: Gulfton, Houston and River Oaks, Houston - If you would like to, you could study them and see how to structure an article about a Jeddah neighborhood.

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've got a book about Saudi Arabia, and I'll see if I can find any info using English sources (I'll use Google Books to look for info about Jeddah neighborhoods). There is a Riyadh neighborhood that the Saudi Arabia Exposed book describes as well, so I'll make a stub using that information. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad bin Nayef

As this guy has got more attention lately, it might be a good idea if at least some of the biographical information present on the arab wikipedia page on him be translated into english. Could you help in getting this done? Is there some Saudi-wikipedia project on goverment bodies and people? Also as he is prominent in the Saudi attempts to fight terrorism some notes on his policy may be of general interest. Thanks in advance. --T.woelk (talk) 08:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick respond. What might be of further interest now could be: since when he has his current government position, maybe a short synopsis of his official actions and a description of his policy which differs somewhat from other people involved in the fight of terrorism due to differences in culture, religion and political possabilities. I know of the wp:ksa as can be seen here. What I rather wanted to know was wether some taskforce was tacking care of Government: Politics, Basic law and as such monitoring the major politicians currently in office or for some reason brought to public attention. --T.woelk (talk) 09:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New articles

Hi, I have created some new Saudi Arabia related articles lately and would like to bring them to your attention. I have added five of my more recent articles to the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Saudi Arabia/New article announcements. Maybe you could look into the basic requests I have added to the page text: arab interwiki and transliteration. As I cannot read arabic I couldn't tell an official term from an informal name. As for your last reply concerning Muhammad bin Nayef, I must admit he is not really the center of my interest as well. It just happened I was asked by people who knew I had been to Jeddah. I am sorry I sort of use you to collaborate on my Arabia related articles, but as you seem to have a somewhat similar scope of interest I hope you can further help me on such articles and if you are not personally interested maybe point someone else of the WikiProject Saudi Arabia to the subject. Many thanks for your help so far and hopefully in the future. --T.woelk (talk) 12:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greeting from Prague Ammar,
You have created the article Baloot a few years ago, but some references are still missing there pal. I am trying to find any historical info on the subject, so we can date the game (and that's important !). There's really no problem if the refs are in Arabic, as long as I can put 'em there.
