Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Amina Abdallah Arraf al Omari has been reverted.
Your edit here to Amina Abdallah Arraf al Omari was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://damascusgaygirl.blogspot.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:28, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

CofE

Hello. I have some fellow feeling as I have family in Edinburgh and lived for a time in Linlithgow. My idle question is, what do you mean CofE? Centre of Edinburgh? Church of England?Abigailgem (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I started an article at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Razan Ghazzawi but it is currently in limbo as it does not say anything particularly notable about her apart from her arrest: one event is not notable, WP is not news. Do you have any particular knowledge of Syria or relevant sources? Could you help with it? Abigailgem (talk) 10:47, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
