My revert of your user page

Yeah, I was 85% sure that was the case, but because the entry was personal information, and because of the reference to "Big Brother," I thought that perhaps someone was harassing you, and figured you could always revert it again if it was just that you hadn't logged in. See you round, JDoorjam Talk 04:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

though your edit was minor, it makes me look like less of an idiot and i appreciate it fellow iranian. thanks. also in personal messages i don't really care about capitalization but in my user page i guess it makes sense.Amirman 04:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English

Do you have any idea what that Punjabi article might be about? I'll take to AfD soon otherwise (it's been two weeks.)

By the way, I'd really like it if you could check back at the page at least every week or so. We're sorely in need of people who understand arabic/farsi; we get articles in those languages from time to time and usually no-one knows what to do with them. Grandmasterka 04:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

There's a couple new entries you should have a look at if you're still available. Regards, Grandmasterka 06:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:KirbySig.JPG

Hi, sorry if this has already been dealth with, but please stop using this image in your sig, fair use images are not allowed on talk pages per Wikipedia's fair use policy, and if not used in an article will be deleted. Images in signatures in general are also discouraged (see Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages#Images and Appearance) though not outright banned (yet), however if you insist on using an image in your sig at least pick a free licensed one. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 10:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use Images and user pages

The Azari-related articles are all massivly being deviated. Everyone should get proactive. The behaviour is anti-Iranian and anti-Azari (Azaris after all are an Iranian people) 72.57.230.179

Request for graph

Thank you for requesting a graph at Rational function. I moved your request to the talk page. Metainformation is more appropriate there, and less distracting than in the article. Thanks. You can reply here if you have comments. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I think your joke with "new messages" at the top of your page is making fun of other people, and if I were you, I would remove it. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Criticism of Muslims vs Criticism of Islam

Kirbytime, what you added was criticism of Muslims, not criticism of "Islam." Furthermore, all that paragraph was pure Original Research. --Aminz 08:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kirbytime. I am Amin. Nice to meet you. I was wondering why you re-added the last paragraph here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islam&diff=64626099&oldid=64626012

Regards, --Aminz 08:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Kirbytime, I'm just confused; we may have had an edit conflict. Thanks anyway. --Aminz 08:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Why did you revert? The source does not state 1.5 billion Muslims. Unless you can find a reliable source (preferably a book) that indicates 1.5 billion Muslims, please do not change it. BhaiSaab ^talk 20:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Islamic Barnstar Award

Please offer your opinion, vote, or whatever about your choice for the image to be used with the Islamic Barnstar Award at the Barnstar proposals page. Although there is consensus for the concept of an Islamic Barnstar Award, some editors would like to change the image for the award. I was just thinking you should be aware of this discussion because you have contributed to Islamic-related articles, received the Islamic Barnstar Award, or have contributed to the Islam-related Wikiprojects, etc.--JuanMuslim ^1m 02:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

diacritics

salam kirbytime. i noticed your comments regarding transliteration of arabic and persian. it seems to me that you also believe that the existing professional and academic standard (IJMES/MESA/EI) should be used, complete with diacritics. i have tried often to implement this standard when i edit, but i have found several articles reverted. the best example is Khālid ibn al-Walīd article which was reverted several times since i edited it and fixed up the poor grammar and improper language. i would appreciate some help in fixing this articles, since there's no point for me to correct the mistakes, if it will only be reverted! dgl 02:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Info on Islamophobic group

Hello,

What follows are the thoughts, expressed in their own words, and in the 'protest signs', of the obscure, very small, but very vocal 'activist group' known as "Protest Warrior".

"What's becoming clear is how the religion of Islam is addicted to war and mayhem. Not a radical minority, not a rogue sect, but its very essence is about submission and sacrifice and proving your worth by worshipping death in this life to gain a paradise of orgies and drunkenness. Their entire history is of warfare, and any accomplishments of their so-called Golden Age has been proven to be merely parasitic off the cultures they've conquered and reduced to dhimmi servitude. That every country under sharia is corrupt, belligerent, desolate and barbaric obviously gives them no pause, except to constantly drive them into further psychotic rage as they refuse to ever accept any responsibility for their conditions. They are akin to the powers in Orwell's 1984; there must always be an enemy. It's no surprise that women are treated like property in these countries as that's the only way Muslim men can feed their egos, to dominate others rather than ever actually produce something."

Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, founders of "Protest Warrior"

Their 'protest signs'...

Signs

I thought you might be interested in this group's sentiments. They are currently very actively editing their own article on Wiki and there is a lot of 'group think'. Perhaps you might want to become involved in the editing and discussion process on that page. If you do, please don't vandalize, and try to remain civil. Should you not want to involve youself, please forgive my intrusion.

Scientology logo

Please see the discussion at Template talk:ScientologySeries#Logo removal: "According to Jean-Baptiste Soufron, host of the Wikimania 2006 copyright forum, the logo on the template did not qualify as "free" and there is no way to create anything imitating the logo and consider it "free."" We've had specific legal advice on this issue, so please don't change the image again. -- ChrisO 12:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

If you please

I want you to think of a group which you have personally found helpful to you in your life. If the group has also been observed, by you, personally, to have been helpful to other people also, then that would be good too. Now I don't know the name of the group you have thought of. However, I am pretty sure that you have some allience with such a group.

• You made the statement, Are you done being a tool of Scientology already? --Ķĩřβȳ♥ŤįɱéØ 03:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC) [4]
• I want you to substitue the name of your group for "Scientology" and thereby understand that if I said, Are you, Kirbytime, done being a tool of ..... (your helpful group here) ..... that you might consider that to be a personal attack. Do you follow this reasoning ? Please be a bit more Civil. Terryeo 19:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Terryeo, I suggest you take your own advice. You were very uncivil to mediator Xyrael.--Fahrenheit451 01:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Terryeo on this. It is never acceptable to make this kind of attack, and clearly "tool of scientology" is intended to be an attack both on Terryeo's person and his religion. Consider this a warning. --Tony Sidaway 14:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

It's not a personal attack, it is a statement of fact. You are putting Scientology's interests before Wikipedia's interests by distorting facts. I don't even want to make the accusations myself. Here are the things that other Wikipedians have said:

Good grief. Is Terryeo really suggesting that Muslims, Jews and other religions are represented by the Christian cross? (Hint: there's a reason why it's called the Christian cross.) This is just... wow. -- ChrisO 12:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

To my knowledge, Scientology has never used any other version of the cross as a symbol other than their eight-pointed version, and Terryeo isn't suggesting that such a thing has ever taken place -- he's suggesting that the traditional "Christian cross" is actually a generic symbol for all religions, not a symbol of Christianity specifically. By the same logic as Terryeo is presenting, if we were for some reason unable to use the Star of David in a template on Judaism, or the inverted pentagram in a template on Satanism, it would be reasonable to use the Christian cross instead -- again, on the dubious premise that the Christian cross means "a generic religion" now. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

And of course, there's this whole thing that totally ruins Terryeo's claims of good faith

It is not a personal attack, it is a personal fact. The only one I was attacking is the corporation of Scientology, by claiming that they use Terryeo as a pawn. Honestly, look at his contributions, which is mostly Scientology related.

I certainly did not mean my comment to be offensive, and if any offense was taken then I apologize. But did that warrant this waste of Administrators' time at Wikipedia?

I feel somewhat honored that I'm being targeted in a smear campaign now, lol.

re: Islam and Slavery merge proposal

السلام عليكم

a while ago you proposed to merge into Religion and slavery per the afd on "Islam and Slavery". the thing is... that later on the religion and slavery article was stubbed per its own afd, so it's rather strange to merge into a stub [ ;) ]. furthermore, the article has undergone significant work.. would it be okay with you if i removed the merge proposal? thank you!

Hi Kirbytime. I'm Fsotrain09, and I help out with Pages needing translation into English. Pages there have been discovered and listed for translation; after about two weeks without translation, they are deleted. Even if a page is translated, the same Wikipedia policies for inclusion, such as subject notability, NPOV, no spam, etc., apply. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article above, which has been sitting unattended for a week or so. First just check if it meets the basic requirements of inclusion. If it doesn't, leave me a note; if it does, kindly translate it and tell me when you are finished. Thank you so much! -Fsotrain₀₉ 02:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I know this is none of my business, but I think this page should be nominated for deletion. It is about a particular non-notable educational organization (probably private) in a small city of Iran. It is not encyclopedic. --Aminz 10:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that's exactly the information I was looking for. --Fsotrain₀₉ 15:43, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Qur'an

I don't know why you removed the DMOZ directory from the Qur'an article. That was a compromise -- instead of dozens (and potentially hundreds) of links to different sects' websites re the Qur'an, we just send readers to a site that is nothing but links. If they want their Qur'an links in the article, they can make sure that the links are entered into DMOZ. This is the same compromise we're using at the Islam article. Instead of links to sectarian (and anti-Muslim) sites, we just like to DMOZ, with its hundreds of links.

If we pick what we think are the BEST Qur'an links, we're making religious decisions, and I don't think WP should be doing that. Zora 10:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Then submit some links to DMOZ. It's a community effort, like WP. If you can find a better Qur'an directory, we can add that too. An academic one would be fine. However, any directory that is slanted in a Sunni, Sufi, Salafi, Shi'a, whatever direction would not be acceptable. Zora 07:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Soldier In Iraq spraypainting.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Soldier In Iraq spraypainting.jpg.

New York Times translation re: MA

The translation is that of Nazila Fathi of The New York Times. Please do not remove cited information from reliable sources, that is considered vandalism. Thank you. -- Avi 04:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

It was mentioned that it was the NYT many times on the talk page, and it is brought as wikiquote. I do not believe it is a POV issue, as it is one of the most reliable sources that exist, AND the translator is Iranian, I believe. I am sorry you have a personal problem with it, but it is not a wikipedia issue. -- Avi 04:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hammasa Kohistani picture

Sorry for that. But the reason I added that picture there is that I removed it from the article Tajiks and so now that picture is not linked to any articles, and so instead of wasting it, I thought Id add it to that article instead of having the picture take up space for nothing. I'll add this to the discussion. Thank you.

I deleted a blank page. Please don't come screaming bloody murder on my talk page. OK? - Lucky 6.9 06:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. However, do not come onto my talk page or any other user's talk page with that chip on your shoulder ever again or you're going to be taking a time-out. - Lucky 6.9 06:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a hot-button issue. I saw what happened; an anonymous IP blanked the page and left a message claiming he/she was "offended" by the article. It came across as a zero-length article on the new pages section, so I blanked it as an experiment. It's back now. - Lucky 6.9 06:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No prob. Good luck on the article. I'll leave word on the anonymous user's page because what that person did was just wrong. If you get hassled over the article, just let me know. You shouldn't have to take garbage from someone who doesn't even see fit to create an account. Sorry if I bit too hard. - Lucky 6.9 06:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Kirbytime/America

Hi, I think you should consider asking for this part of your userspace deleted considering it has nothing to do with the encyclopedic purpose of this site as listed on WP:USER. Thanks in advance, Yanksox 06:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but your interpretation of WP:USER is a bit off. You state that it allows for "archives of user talk," which is correct, however, it does not apply in this circumstance unless someone else posted it on your talk page. You really need to read this and in particular, "Extensive personal opinions on matters unrelated to Wikipedia, wiki philosophy, collaboration, free content, the creative commons, etc." and "Polemical statements." Thanks, Yanksox 12:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Um it makes no difference if it is on the usertalk or userspace, according to the history you posted it there. So unless you provide a link to me, that means your lying. Yanksox 22:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I appreciated your beautiful behavior and your badgering back. Thanks for the comments, I've sent this up to MfD. Yanksox 00:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I nicely asked you to delete this and then pointed towards policy and reminded you that we should keep an encyclopedic mission in mind. Meanwhile, you are dragging your feet into the ground and calling me every name possible in a juvenile fashion. And yes, I am an admin, meaning I do what I can to keep everything running smoothly and nothing goes ajar. This isn't the first time that you have had major incivility issues. Honestly, if you are unafraid to call someone an "asshole" or to "shove (something) up (their) ass," I have to question what you are like outside of this. If you help with Wikipedia, that's one thing. However, harassing and bickering in a senile manner is another. I think you need to relax and, to be frank, stop being a complete hothead.

I understand how frustrating it gets with vandals and the like (users who get themselves banned), and I have on numerous occasions typed hostile responses into the edit box but removed them before saving. It was a long time ago and you haven't made comments like that in months (I think) so it's no big deal but it caught my eye when I was searching the history of your talk page for the contents of your subpage.

Islamist Terrorism name.

Hi there. Just wanted to say thanks for your support on the Islamist Terrorism talk page.

I really think this definition "Islamist Terrorism" has to go; it pushes a particular worldview and it is full of negative connotations. It also lacks any real meaning.

Do you think the term "Muslim Radicalism" would be more acceptable?

Thanks again Alexander.Hainy 12:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Your signature

Kirbytime, might you consider simplifying your signature? It is distracting, and takes up two full lines in my edit window.
