I made the subpages so far for DefinitionLayout, Topic, About, and Assessment, but they are not outputting to the Main Page yet. Any idea what is going on? Smee 06:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC).

A 24-hour block for a vandal that returns every 11 days or so? Odd. - Dudesleeper · Talk 09:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
My WelcomesThanks but I'm not the owners of them, I just use these so ask the owners
Syrian AmericanBrother, that rocks! You should take it out of the sandbox! Looking at the ones I created two years ago, Mongolian American and Tibetan American, I wish they looked as good! Maybe I could prevail upon you for your skills? :) Thanks for the heads-up! Chris 21:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Block of User:216.56.60.82Hi. If I could make an interesting suggestion. You blocked this user for 3 months as a disruptive school. However, 3 months will end in August 23rd, right before the beginning of the school year. I'm thinking it quite likely that a good number of schools, as soon as they get back, will have editing capacity, and will innundate Wikipedia with vandalism - thus, it might be better to block this IP up until something like September 23rd - which really is only extending it by a month. Take my suggestion as you wish. Thank you. The Evil Spartan 23:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC) Thank you for the linksThank you for the links Anas Salloum. As a wikignome I have always been unclear as to whether I have the right to leave warnings on talk pages. But if I can then the links you left me will be most helpful so thanks again.

Thanks for the TipThanks for the tip Anas. Sounds like a great idea :) Anonymous Dissident Utter 06:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC) You deserve a cookieBut No Cookie from MeUnfair blocking of a user : But tell me, when is discussion vandalism . . . pity you didn't discuss it with me first before you blocked me! IPSOS and Buddhipriya are one and the same and using both accounts to reinforce a single point of view. Why don't you get IPSOS to remove his extremely aggressive and offensive material from his user page. If he showed respect to other editors he would get it back in equal measure. He has been asked on many occasions to tone down his user page . . . why do you allow it? Incidentally he has a false link on his user page it states 'you have new messages' which redirects to 'practical jokes'. So why not treat the disease (IPSOS) and not the symptoms(me).--81.157.73.83 10:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
DYKHi Anas. Yes it is fine to work in userspace and do the move. Sorry about the slackness. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC) More Trouble with IPSOS AGAIN!!Will you please intervene on The latter was the original page. IPSOS invaded it and littered it with Wiki-clutter . . . leaving a notice inviting discussion on the user page. He has not posted to that page . . . but just unilaterally applied his version of disambiguation. He has not discussed it despite requests to do so and has not posted to the Discussion Page. (see my comments there). In addition the way he has split them is crazy. The most important (interesting) company was the 1929-30 on which was owned by Aleister Crowley and worked with authors like D H Lawrence this can only be found through a small note at the top of the page for the modern company — that is simply daft. In addition he has ignored your request to tone down his user page. Personally I think he really needs to calm down his confrontational editing style. Thanks--81.157.73.83 09:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA. It was closed at surprising 75/0/0, so I'm an admin now. MaxSem 21:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Hello. It is my pleasure to award you a service award for your work in Wikipedia. I'm sorry I put it here. I didn't know where to put them in your userpage. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie Spread the love! 21:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC) My RfaHello, Anas. Thank you very much for your strong support and your nice comment in my recent Rfa, it succeeded! I feel honoured to have earned your trust and hope to live up to your expectations. If you see me doing anything inappropriate, please let me know :) Have a nice day! ~ Sincerely, PeaceNT 05:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Mandrake PressThanks for that! Much appreciated. I like the edit too — it removed the pseudo-commercial/factual data but kept the essence of what the page needed. I would be grateful if you have any ideas or suggestions on how the page might be developed (a brief note on the article's discussion page would be good). Finally, I hear what you say but the other party involved still hasn't changed their talk page and that says it all regarding 'attitude'. Thanks again and best wishes--81.157.73.83 10:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC) WelcomeWell been a wikipedian since 2005, but the bug is starting to get to me as i contribute more. Saw u are in Riyadh, used to live there myself. moved to London. Cheers. Afif Abdul Wahab 16:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Chaar Hachamaim SynagogueSorry about that. I figured that since Chaar Hachamaim Synagogue is in Egypt, that it would have a specific Arabic name, or that the name in Arabic would be important. Thank you for all your Arabic help, I probably have been driving you nuts with all the requests. -NYC2TLV 17:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC) My RFAMany thanks for your support at my RFA. It ended successfully and I am now a glorified janitor. If I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to contact me through my talk page. Happy editing! —Ocatecir Talk 18:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Mandrake PressHi I really am sorry to bother you again but IPSOS has gone rule crazy . . . his editing and aggression are everything that spoils Wikipedia.--81.157.73.83 23:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC) I noticed on the Tony Shalhoub page that you put in his name in Arabic and transliterated (several months ago, but I'm just seeing it now). I was wondering if there are any sort of guidelines for when to also show a person's name in another language, because as far as I can tell, Tony Shalhoub isn't known by that name regularly. (I posted the question on the talk page as well, so you should probably respond there. Thanks! -- Amazins490 (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Beyoncé singles chronologyi know that official videos exist for "green light" "flaws and all" and "freakum dress" but because there were never any actual releases of maxi or vinyl's this cannot possibly be considered singles.

Ralbot 05:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC) {{Arabic}}Hi Anas, if you get the chance, the CFD for cleaning up the original language categories is finished, and you asked me to remind you to update the Arabic template. It would probably be good to make it similar to {{Cyrillic}}, so I don't have to remember two different ways of doing things. Thanks for doing it, and as always thanks for your tireless work keeping the category empty. Rigadoun (talk) 17:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the AIV reportWhen filing the report for IP address 81.145.240.120 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), I assumed it was a recent final warning, it only being on the 21st of May that I gave him the last warning. ≈ The Haunted Angel 18:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Syria locator mapHere you go - enjoy! Bear in mind that the coordinates need to be in decimals, not in degrees-minutes-seconds. I'm afraid I can't offer much help with integrating the map into templates - you might want to ask User:Pigsonthewing or User:JeremyA, who've been doing locator map integration work recently on Template:Infobox UK place. -- ChrisO 20:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Syrian Americans selected for DYK!Thanks for your contributions!

I noticed you blocked a user on AIV... Would you mind clearing the backlog at UAA? I've removed one, but since I'm not a sysop, I can't clear the seven names remaning. Evilclown93 21:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC) {{Persian}}Anas, it usually a bad idea to delete templates without TfD. For once there are many article using {{Persian}} with the deletion of the template they now all have red links and somebody has to fix all the templates. The other thing is that some Iranian users are pretty pissed of by this deletion. They allege that the references to Arabic that are still present in the template even with the parameter are inappropriate for the Persian things, the modern Persian script is different from Arabic (a few more letters, etc.) and so on, and so on. The last thing we need is the new round of Arabic-Iranian edit wars over these templates. IMHO the benefits of having the Persian templates overweight the advantages of the standardization. I have restored the template, if you disagree lets have a TfD Alex Bakharev 02:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Mandrake PressPLEASE intervene again <sigh> . . . the editing by IPSOS has move from disruptive/confrontational and is tantamount to vandalism. He is making an issue of trying to destroy this article (reason unknown). He asked for two weeks to garner opinions on the disambiguation issue but has now removed the tag and removed all the material to achieve the same ends. I know this request and your intervention merely serve to feed the troll but I really don't know what else to do with an editor such as IPSOS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.73.83 (talk • contribs). I don't care if {{Persian}} stays around, since people are already accustomed to it. TfD would certainly be a nationalist fight that I don't want to be involved in, and then there's the user that might remember {{Persian}} and not be able to figure out how to use it now. I just thought you should add a Persian parameter to the Arabic script, which you did, for people who don't know there's a special template, and that they point to the same category. Also, I didn't see if you answered Kintetsubuffalo/Chris's questions up earlier in the page, but you may want to clarify that on the template page, that most Kazakh, etc. don't use Arabic script anymore, but those in China, etc. do. It may also be appropriate for some historical things (things before they switched to their modern script). Anyway, thanks for your work. Rigadoun (talk) 15:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Mandrake Press - Book of TobitCan you please take a moment more to advise me . . . is a photograph of the said Book of Tobit acceptable evidence? If so I'll arrange for a copyright free photograph to be taken and upload it to the article? So, it is a fact that someone believed it didn't exist (it says so in the exhibition catalogue), but I discovered it did, but to include the data in Wikipedia I need to cite someone else as the discoverer not myself (or someone else has to say I discovered it?) Also, would it be acceptable to list books by both old and new companies, for the latter I was thinking of examples of some of the out-of-print limited edition books that have turned out to be collectable (rather than the more run-of-the-mill paperbacks). Any further suggestions you may have to improve this infant-article would greatfully received. For example I have a copy of the Cambridge Exhibition Catalogue and I could add quotes from that etc? You are of course right, from your perspective, a piece of turf in cyber-space that quite frankly nobody else really gives a damn about!--81.157.73.83 19:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Category:Articles needing original scriptHi!

Hello, could you add the Arabic spelling at Mehfil (in the second section describing the Arabic origins of this Urdu word)? Thank you, Badagnani 17:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Could you also add the Arabic at Ahaat? Thank you again, Badagnani 17:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Arabic scriptWonderful!
