Dubai

Nabil, I see you are new to Wikipedia. Having been around here for almost 5 years now, I'll be glad to assist you with any questions on how to contribute. On the Dubai page, I see you have re-inserted some of the content that I had removed. I removed them for three reasons: a) Main-space articles need to be written per Wikipedia's WP:SUMMARY policies, which these didn't comply with b) Some of the edits were original research and had a point of view, which should be the case for Wikipedia articles, c) Wikipedia, unlike Wikitravel is an encyclopedia, and not a travel brochure, so topics such as "Skyline" are not relevent to the scope. You can visit Wikipedia's Featured articles page (scroll down to "Geography and places") to get an idea of the sctruture of some excellent Wikipedia articles on cities and countries.

I would advise you to read through some of the links above, as they will help you contribute more effectively on Wikipedia. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me as well. I will be removing the recently added content, because of the reasons mentioned above. If you have more specific questions about content, we can alternatively move the discussion to Talk:Dubai. Thanks, and welcome to Wikipedia. AreJay (talk) 17:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Please could you alter your signature, so that it matches your user name?

It is rather confusing at the moment, as you are signing as 'Colossus' but your user name is 'Nabil rais2008'.

It would be helpful if you could go into your preferences, and make this change in your signature box.

Thank you. Chzz ► 15:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ACCA

Hiya. On your User page, you mention ACCA. Is that ACCA? Trafford09 (talk) 15:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK - the reason I ask is because they actually go to different articles, as you'll see if you go into (or indeed hover the mouse over) the two links on my first message. Regards, Trafford09 (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

can any body tell me how i an upload a video clip in article ???

Colossal (talk) 19:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be in ogg format; apart from that, it works exactly the same as a picture. Upload it to commons, and then to display it in an article, just use code such as [[File:A11v_1094228.ogg|thumb]] - as shown here.

For much more info, see Wikipedia:Creation and usage of media files.

Note I asked before - please could you fix up your signature, so that it matches your user name. For help with that, see # Wikipedia:How to fix your signature

One of your photos

Hello Nabil rais2008!

I'm from German Wikipedia and it's about one of your photos:

Mohammad_nabil_rais_-_HHHR_Tower.jpg

Could you transer it to commons, so that we can use it in the German Wikipedia?

Thanks in advance, -- Cgoe, 26.05.2009, 15:23; if you have any question, feel free to ask here —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgoe (talk • contribs) 13:23, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
