Ahram

My father, who is good in Arabic, reacted on my sayin "ihram" and insited it is "Ahram". Thats the reason. --Striver 22:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... well, then we have conflicting sources... ill ask him why he told me what he did... maybe it was the persian pronunciation? --Striver 00:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

rename

Hi. Why did you do this and this rename? --Striver 18:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arvandrud/Shatt al-Arab move request

FYI, I've removed the {{rename}} tag from Talk:Arvandrud/Shatt al-Arab. The move request needs to be listed at WP:RM as well. Take a look at the steps for requesting a page move and let me know if you have any questions. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Arab scientists and scholars

Hi Lanov,

At last I found someone who is interested in arabic science and scientist! Most of my contributions in wikipedia are related to these two topics. I created the List of Arab scientists and scholars last spring and since then, there were multiple attempts by iranian and israeli users to delete it (see the discussion page). I won't be much around, therefore I hope you would keep an eye on that article. Thank You! Jidan 17:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do my best. --Lanov 17:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hunayn ibn Ishaq

Thanks for merging my 'Hunayn bin Ishaq' article with the other one; I don't know why I missed the other one when I wrote mine. --Brianyoumans 17:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is an incomplete sentence at the bottom of the first section. --Brianyoumans 06:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was there by mistake. --Lanov 06:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 3RR

Thanks for contacting me before breaking the rule! It shows good things about you :) I've commented on the talk page about what I think is the best course of action. M a rtinp23 21:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ibn Yunus

I replied at Talk:Ibn Yunus. BTW, I have looked at the resources you collected at [1], and I must say that I am impressed by your research and accuracy methods you use. Jidan 01:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RVing

I already stated why but you ignored. His name should be written in his neative language. This is according to Wikipedia:Guidelines. Chaldean 05:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I did not see that. But you did you remove the referenced part about him being Assyrian? Chaldean 05:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I just read your edit again and I dont understand it?

“

... حنين بن إسحاق هو أبو زيد حنين بن إسحاق العبادي والعباد بالفتح قبائل شتى من بطون العرب اجتمعوا على النصرانية بالحيرة

”

Which can be translated as "Hunayn ibn Ishaq, His name is Abu Zayd Hunayn ibn Ishaq al-Ibadi, from one of the Arab tribes that lived in Hira and embraced Christianity". </ref>, wafyat alayan for the Muslim historian Ibn Khallikan^[1] and Oyun al-Anba for the medieval Arabic historian Ibn Abi Osaybe'a^[2] refer to him as an Arab, as well as some modern sources^[3]^[4]^[5], other modern sources refer to him as Assyrian^[6].

It just looks like a bunch of words thrown together in their. Chaldean 05:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job. Chaldean 06:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Al-Fazari is not Arab

The majority of the sources list him as Persian, go look it up. --Mardavich 22:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because all the reliable sources says so, I'll add them all to the article in a few hours. --Mardavich 22:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have to answer to you , reliable sources have been provided that explicitly say or imply that Al-Fazaris were Persian. For example, Ervin Lewis says "...by the time the Persian geographer Al-Fazari was writing in AD 773-774..." or Ralph Westwood Moore states that "In Syriac, a treatise on the astrolabe which certainly derives from Greek sources; and the Persian al-Fazari, who died about 777". The man's family came from Afghanistan, just because he's named after some Arab tribe, doesn't mean he's an Arab, otherwise we can use your logic to say Al-Isfahanii was a Persian because he's named after Isfahan, a Persian city. --Mardavich 06:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Al-Farazi,

Hey Lanov,

Regarding your discussion here [2]. Do you have prove(link, page scan, etc.) that ANY one of the 8 sources he added did't actually mention his persian orign? If yes, then we can't assume good faith regarding the rest of sources, therefore we can simply revert him. Jidan 15:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider WP:Civility even when you write your summary edits. Thank you.Ariana310 18:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'm really sorry if you feel I attacked you personally but don't delete any reliable sources you don't like again. --Lanov 20:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Razi

Someone's insisting on making him Persian. I'm still exhausted from my last (and only other) edit war, would you care to take this one? Slacker 00:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

al-Fazari

Please read Talk:Al-Khwarizmi/Archive 1, Talk:Al-Khwarizmi/2, and the current talk page. Which is the source that's false? Khoi khoi 05:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I don't think anyone knows what his "proper name" was, or if he had any. This is how it appears in all genealogies, so I think it's fine to just use the name "Abul 'As". I'll try to think of a classical book that might have given a "history" of the Umayyad clan. Sorry I wasn't much help! -- Slacker 02:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Massacre vs. bombing

Hi Lanov! As someone who moved some articles on suicide bombings to include 'massacre' in the title, I thought you'd be interested in this discussion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration#Massacres. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 18:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slant Magazine

You know what, I take it back. I'm sorry; I thought they were external links, and some research shows that I was wrong. If you want, I'll add the redacted text here- otherwise, know that I'm sorry and am rolling my reverts back. tedder (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright. Don't hesitate to correct me if I did anything wrong :). --Lanov (talk) 22:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's fine, just seeing that many edits really looked like spam. The duck test failed! I'm really sorry. tedder (talk) 22:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
