User talk:SheriKan

Abu Shaker!

You seem to me as an experienced 3rab user (nmoon 3alaik:)). Can you please help me with the following?

How do I create internal links? I know how to create a [[Insert non-formatted text here]], but I want it to direct to a certain target. This target is not in the namespace of wikipedia, and it shouldn't, since it is in the talkpage of an article. And BTW, I do this because I am afraid of editing directly. So I want to edit the talkpage then refer the reader/editor of the article to the talkpage. Is this correct?

And if this bothers you, where in WP should I go with such questions? (don't be shy!)

I appreciate your help and thank you in advance. --SheriKan (talk) 03:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to wikipedia SheriKan, You can use [[text]] for any Article name or Article subsection within the wikipedia for example:

[[Gulf War]] (article name) - Gulf War

[[Gulf_War#Casualties]] (section) - Gulf_War#Casualties

[[Gulf_War#Iraqi_deaths]] (subsection) -same as above- Gulf_War#Iraqi_deaths

You can also clean it up like this [[Gulf_War#Iraqi_deaths|Iraqi deaths during gulf war]]

The link should look like this : Iraqi deaths during gulf war-

Also, You can direct to external webpages using [full address] for Example:

[http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/gulf.war/facts/gulfwar/ ADD A TITLE HERE]

[http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/gulf.war/facts/gulfwar/ Iraqi death report - CNN]

The link should look like this : Iraqi death report - CNN

And no, you should not redirect pages into your talk page, this is false. You can test your addition in your talk page before posting them into articles A M M A R 03:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Innocence of Muslims film trailer

Hi, I'm writing because you are listed in Category:Translators ar-en. It was recently pointed out at Talk:Innocence of Muslims#ARABIC Wikipedia version that the English Wikipedia article on the deliberately inflammatory film trailer Innocence of Muslims contains very much more detailed information about the deliberate deceit on the part of the filmmakers to try to obscure their identity and the nature of the trailers which has not yet been added to the Arabic version at ar:براءة_المسلمين which is getting about 8,000 page views per day presently. Would you please consider adding some of the details which might help Arabic readers understand some of the missing details of the trailers? Thank you for your consideration. —Cupco 22:12, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
