List of converts to Islam

Greetings, I noticed that you've been adding to the list. Please follow the list norms and when citing a convert to Islam also cite from what belief individuals have converted from otherwise additions you make will likely be removed. Thanks. Netscott 17:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you're adding more companions... kindly add from what belief they converted from. Thanks. Netscott 03:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I cant always find out what they converted from Bazel 03:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey "brother" Basel, are you sure you want to get List of converts to Islam deleted? Check your vote again.--Matt57 19:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Syria

For now, you can add {{User WP Syria}} to your user page to add a userbox and yourself to the category of participants. I've already spent almost ten hours creating and designing WikiProject Syria. I will report back when I'm done from designing the principal elements of WP:SY. Regards, Anas ^talk? 16:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Basel. :-) You might want to head to WP:SY/P and add you area of expertise or simply what kind of help you are willing to offer for the project. Regards, Anas ^talk? 20:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basel, I'd be thankful if you can watch the project's talk page for required tasks. It is recommended that you add the project to your watchlist to keep you upgraded. Thanks - Anas ^talk? 21:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I'm sorry about that. It looked in the recent changes like it was a blank. I fixed it though. King Lopez ^Contribs 09:44, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kibbeh

Hi Bazel, how are you? Please, do you have a good recipe for Kibbeh or Sfiha? Your picture looks great! Thanks.--Legionarius 08:00, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks about the pictures, but the real people who deserve the thanks are my mom and grandmother for making the food, I'll try to write recipes for them Bazel 08:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lucky you! :-) Thanks, it is hard to find good recipes, lots of them are not authentic.--Legionarius 08:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am going on a hunger strike until you send the recipes. Ok, just kidding :-). You look busy lately.--Legionarius 02:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arab Wiki project

Are you interested ... Sign up then! [1] --Aziz1005 03:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arab article

As I did read this article, it contains a lot of unusual information, propagandistic views and weasel words in the article Arab. I therefore would like to get a group with me who are able to rewrite this article in a best way to get best results. Anyone who want to join our team add your name below in the Arab Talk page. Please note that after the team has gathered, we will place "under-progress" tag. Irqirq 14:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Announcement

Hi, and welcome to the newly started Arab world WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the Arab World.

The project birthday would be celebrated every August 24.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPARAB Announcements}} there.
Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, and other tasks.

Important notice

We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful. These guidelines can be subject of discussions at the project talkpage or simply WT:ARAB.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask User:FayssalF for the time being, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Can you elaborate on the license and source for File:Gavin Macleod.jpg (now on Commons)? I am guessing that you took the photo yourself, and wanted to release it into the public domain, is that right? cmadler (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
