re: al-Jawharī

I'll look into it, it is likely that no reliable source (e.g. an article published or a book reviewed in the respected journals on the history of mathematics) mentions his ethnicity. It was quite hard too find them for well known mathematicians like al-Khwarizmi and (unlike what quite a number of people seem too believe) ethnicity isn't an interestingly enough fact to mention or research for minor figures. The only primary sources that exist for Jawhari might well be the biographies by Ibn al-Nadim and al-Tusi. —Ruud 08:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know?

Sorry, I missed your inquiry, not spotting it until I was summarizing my Talk page archive. Here is the screen shot:

if you want to hold onto the image, i would suggest you do so quickly, as I've asked for the image to be removed after a few days. I hope that helps. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 05:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tested out my other browsers (Netscape and Firefox), and they seem to display your page correctly. Apparently its just Safari that has some issues readingit. Not being a coder, I am not sure why it isn't working. Hope that helps. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

300 Images

You might wish to visit the 300 article, as images are getting deleted left and right. Some of that commentary might be helpful from you and the others who were so active this past month. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 12:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Citations

Hi. Thanks for keeping an eye on my edits. I am replacing them with a fact tag so that editors familiar with the article can remove it if necessary, or find an alternate citation. If the text is already sourced from another article, please feel free to remove the fact tags. - Aksi_great (talk) 06:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I will do that. You can also go through the list here and remove the link from any article which you are familiar with. The website is currently on the meta spam blacklist and so these articles will remain uneditable till these links are removed. - Aksi_great (talk) 06:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud), and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. -- tariqabjotu 14:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Although just a bystander, I want to say sorry for the RFCU that you were the object of (assuming that you did nothing wrong). I am on a campaign to say sorry for others (just like people who remember others on National Sorry Day.Conmatrix 15:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Lion and Sun

Did you read the edit summaries or the talk page? Some of the items were already touched upon (by Fullstop) on the talk page. I don't like the blind revert, but since you requested it I will explain each edit in greater detail on the talk page. Cheers. Also you didn't respond to my last post on your talk page. The Behnam 16:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on, I'm writing my post. We can talk there when it happens. Thanks. The Behnam 16:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yo. I've posted my post. The Behnam 16:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Racism by country

Hello, a request for mediation has been filed given the deadlock at racism by country. You previously offered comment on it, but were not involved in any edit warring. As such, I'm inviting you to add yourself to the RFM if you feel that you're part of the dispute. You can do so here. If you feel you're not involved in the dispute, please disregard this message and thanks for your earlier opinion. WilyD 21:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salam

User:Artaxerex and others are distributing claims mainly by the US strategist Terrill, indicating that Iranian leaders (Reza Shah, Mohammad Reza shah etc) were fascinated by European fascism!! and the good economic and diplomatic relation between Iran and Germany was due to their sympathy with Nazi ideologs!! They claim that Shah wanted to make a center in Iran for Nazis to control the Jews of middle east!!! Yes! these claims are really funny! but very dangerous!

Please note that in the context of the good relation between Iran and Germany, Iranian diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari at the time of Reza shah, managed to save Iranian Jews in Paris and also many other Jews. He had also support from Iranian regime of the time. Dear User:Mardavich, no matter what you think about Pahlavi regime or Islamic regime in Iran, please do not let these baseless claims to be propagated in wikipedia. These guys are not accusing a single person of supporting Nazi regime. They are indeed accusing Iran of being a state sponsor of racism and fascism. Please keep an eye on these guys. Thanks.

Re: A piece of puzzle you may have missed

This [1] initial contact and the subsequent conversation could be used in your chart. --Mardavich 20:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll take a look. --bainer (talk) 00:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shatt al-Arab RFM

If you're not aware already, you need to follow a few procedures (i.e. e-mailing Daniel about something) in order to get the ball rolling on the request for mediation, since it apparently will be occurring on a private wiki. See #Decision of the Mediation Committee for more information. -- tariqabjotu 21:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My condolences

I was going to update you on the "change of venue" for the Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud) mediation, but I see that tariqabjotu has already done so. I am saddened to hear of a loss in your family and will keep you and your family in prayer. Salaam, Askari Mark (Talk) 18:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Ctesiphon (165) neutrality

Hi. You added the POV banner to the article Battle of Ctesiphon (165). I read the article but I can not find a problem in the neutrality. There is not mutch text in the article and I can certainly understand the fact-check banner you also posted. You did not leave a remark on the Talk page. Could you do that so we can understand what is not neutral and change it?

Tanbur (Persian)

Greetings, you were involved in a discussion concerning the content of Tanbur (Persian). I plan to replace that article with the rewritten text at Tanbur/Temp, and then move Tanbur (Persian) to Tembûr (more details at Talk:Tanbur (Persian)#Improvement, nomenclature etc.). I would appreciate any constructive criticism or additional assistance you are willing to offer. I completely understand if you already feel weary of the entire matter. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Miskin

This arbitration case is closed and the decision has been published at the above link. Miskin (talk · contribs) is cautioned to gain a consensus on article talk pages before making further edits if his first edits are reverted. Swatjester (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is advised to take into account the length of time between previous blocks when blocking users, and to treat all editors violating the three-revert rule fairly.

Bridge

The evidence that you yourself provided is overwhelming that the bridge and river in question are not the Shatt al-Arab. Please review your maps again. When you do, you will find it impossible for you not to realize your mistake. If you change the image back in the article, I will immediately block you for adding bad information to the article. I realize that up until now you are simply and innocently mistaken – no harm done. Rklawton 15:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

300

I'm not interested in reverting you again, as I try to be laissez-faire with this historical dispute on 300, but I wanted to make sure that you did see older discussion in the talk page's last archive. The discussion on the existing talk page is only the most recent, and due to the length of it, I would suggest discussing the content with the editor who removed it. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 03:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I take it back. --Maha Odeh 06:19, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Erik. Deal with your concerns in the Discussion page, and not via reverts. It is disruptive, - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 15:57, 19 August 2007 (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.

Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey)

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Wikipedia:Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.} 05:21, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia: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 Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia 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. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 10:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
