Trouble adding an interwiki

Hi Aua, I wonder if you can help me with something: I wanted to add the following interwiki (zh:葛藟葡萄) to the Arabic Wikipedia's article for Vitis flexuosa, but it wouldn't allow me. If you take a look at the enWP article, you will see in "other languages" that there are also articles for this subject on the arWP, azWP, and zhWP. I was able to link all these interwikis together, excepting the instance of the one shown above. Would you be able to add it, or show me how to do it? If you cannot, thanks anyway for reading this. I speak zero Arabic, so I found you by looking for users with a level 5 Arabic userbox; you were the first one I found with recent edits. I'll watch here. Thank you for your consideration, Hamamelis (talk) 16:34, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure, no problem! I added the link. I think the problem might have been with the way brackets should be added.

Cheers!

Thanks so much Aua! It has yet to show up on the page, because someone (presumably an admin) there has to check it first. I, too, noted something weird going on with particularly one of the left (think it was) brackets. Different encoding in some languages that read right-to-left, probably. Chances are that I will have occasion to add another interwiki in the future. Did you type the brackets manually? I didn't think to try that, and just copied-and-pasted. Thanks again, Hamamelis (talk) 15:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

You are right. Right-to-left languages usually screw up brackets on Wiki. What I did was pretty lazy: I just copied the English Interwiki link, replaced it with the zh link, then pasted the en link back. It seems to have worked!

Cheers!

Ah. I will try that method next time around. Much appreciated! Hamamelis (talk) 21:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

List of Rhodes Scholars

Hello, I reverted one of your edits on the List of Rhodes Scholars. I classified your edit as "vandalism" at initial consideration but perhaps you just did not know Joseph O'Shea is one of FSU's Rhodes Scholars, despite his apparently not having an entry in Wikipedia. Please accept my apology for inserting that reference without checking with you first. Sirberus (talk) 10:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Never mind. The title of that page needs work. Sirberus (talk) 12:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
