Ottoman Empire

Glad to be a part of your WikiProject. I have already tagged all the sultans of the Ottoman Empire. I will help out when I can. I will mainly contribute by tagging articles, though.Burningview (talk) 22:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep up the great work

Hi I've recently noticed your excellent work on Hims and I've just checked out your contributions to Palestinian and Syiran related articles and they are excellent. Wikipedia needs editors like you for such places to address the problem of uneven bias and to work towards an even coverage of the world. I'm impressed. Keep up the fantastic work on these articles. It really is great to actually see some quality on articles related to these countries rather than the typical tripe or stubs that exists on most of the Asian and African countries.

History of Gaza

It will be the first thing I work on when I get back to editing. I'm in the middle of translating a scenario and the deadline is tommorow night, so if it can wait until after tomorrow, that would be great. Impressed by your work and grateful that you think I can be of service as always. Tiamuttalk 09:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you may have noticed, I made a few edits there and then got sidetracked elsewhere, as a result actually of your edit at Salbit. (Though I'm grateful for the sidetracking since I think a good article is developing as a result.) I will try to return to History of Gaza. Its such a long history that I find it a bit overwhelming at present, but I'll try to pitch in whatever I can when I have a chance to wrap my head around the whole thing. Happy editing.

Big problem

I made a typo in a page move and it read Lydda Death Death instead of Lydda Death March. There is a controvery over the title but its appearing as a DYK tonight or tomorrow under that name. So until that passes, I think it should be listed there. I've opened a section to discuss name changes for afterward. Can you help me move it back to Lydda Death March? Because now its just wrong. Tiamuttalk 12:19, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Al Ameer. Actually the only problem is that somehow there is a page entitled Lydda Death Death now. I've blanked it and redirected to Lydda Death March. Lydda Death Death should quite obviously be deleted. I must be groggy from a lack of sleep. If you have time to delete it, that would be good. It's a wholly uncontroversial action, unrelated to the current debate over the title name which is ongoing. Tiamuttalk 15:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ayyubids

Hi, I've been watching, and the page looks good so far. I'd like to know more about what they were doing in Arabia; that area always seems to be neglected in favour of Egypt and Syria. Social history is always a useful addition - what was life like beyond the government? What did the general population do while the Ayyubids were in power? (This is the same sort of thing I've been trying to do with the Kingdom of Jerusalem article, although it's taking forever...) Adam Bishop (talk) 06:17, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Read previous discussion

Please before, reverting again read this previous discussion [[1]] and if the result of you discussion is to remove then we will remove. Two editors (BobaFett85 and Igorb2008) overrulled one on this issue (Fata-Hamas conflict) already and I agree with them. You can not remove edits previously established by other users without discussion and reaching a concensus first just so you can push your own point of view, Wikipedia is about neutrality, objectivity and reality. I can understand that you have a problem with this because you are Palestinian but everything has been backed up by references and fits into the category of the War on Terrorism since the US military has provided training and equipment for Fatah and the US government financial backing for Fatah to fight Hamas which is listed by the US as a terrorist organisation. The United States is backing Fatah, WoT is not just about US military against terrorists but also US backed-allies against terrorists, and this fits that category. Over at the article war on terrorism it has been clearly established that this war is regarded as a proxy war between the US and Iran as part of WoT. You said at the discussion for the campaignbox that Fatah nor Hamas considered the other as terrorists, they fought each other for other reasons. There's the thing, the US considers Hamas terrorists and is backing Fatah for just that reason and Hamas thinks of Fatah as too pro-US and is an enemy of Israel and Israel is a US ally. Again, please read the previous discussion. You can not just ignore the US's financial support, you said Who cares, that's not NPOV of you and you should know it since you are an administrator, you said to bring the point to the talk page, you should have discussed it first before with other editors before removing. I support BobaFett85 and Igorb2008 but I am not to go into a heated discussion with you now so if you provide proof that this has nothing to do with WoT than by all means remove it, but my problem is this - that you made the edit without discussing first.188.2.195.153 (talk) 21:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ayyubids

Hey Ameer,

I would like to greatly apologize for how long it took me to respond to your message (combination of school, life, and extreme technical difficulties). I see you have done a great job revamping the Ayyubid article. I would be glad to contribute what I can if you are still looking for some collaboration. I have a term paper due in 2 weeks that will be consuming the majority of my time, but the focus overlaps on the Ayyubids. Also, would you like a "references in popular culture section" since it will be quite easy to find several. Look forward to hearing from you soon EvitoSol (talk) 00:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Legacy" is a good call. I've actually have access to some rare and excellent images of Ayyubid Mosques in Egypt as well as commentary on them which could fit in that general realm (actually been looking forward to an opportunity to use them). I'll see what digging I can do and hopefully will be ready for some solid composition in the following month. The Ayyubids are quite and extensive clan, but I have confidence in our abilities to catalog them. Good luck on that paperEvitoSol (talk) 03:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Ayyubid Map

Marhaba Ameer, I will attempt to recreate the map using SVG editor. I had so much fun with the maps of Palestine :) --Fjmustak (talk) 02:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How's this for a start? It still needs labels, a legend, and maybe some cropping to zoom in on the area of influence. Also, perhaps we can change the colors, or remove some of the surrounding kingdoms (or add some), etc.... It'll be much easier now that I have this part ready. Thoughts? --Fjmustak (talk) 06:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is now very easy to modify the map. I guess the reason Egypt is in yellow is to show the Fatimid state before Saladin's futuhat (conquests), the green arrows (I didn't copy those) show the direction of these futuhat. I also didn't add the cities/kingdoms to the map. Let me know what you want to keep and what you want to remove.

Here's the legend:

--Fjmustak (talk) 00:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't forgotten about this. Just got really busy. I've added the Almohads, and removed the Fatimids. But have yet to create the legend and to add the cities. If you have any more ideas for the map, please let me know. --Fjmustak (talk) 05:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No worries man. I've been largely inactive myself (I was busy with the Arabic Wikipedia for a while, as well as with real life.) Best of luck on your finals. I'll And work on this map (and the one that you'll be sending me details on) soon. Regards. --Fjmustak (talk) 11:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

Hi, perhaps you can help me with this. This source that I am using to write an article on Hind al-Husseini says, "By 1995, Dar Al-Tifl had some 300 orphans. However, that number would halve following closure in the Gaza Strip, to where the orphans from there had to return, and increasingly within the West Bank." By closure means, the articles means that the residents Gaza Strip were closed off/not able to get in to Jerusalem, right? I am not well-versed in this subject, hope you can help me here. -Falastine fee Qalby (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply! Okay I will go with my initial thought. I started this article on Saturday as a spur of the moment thing, was unplanned and I didn't even know who Hind was until I read an article that day. The story is too inspirational. --Falastine fee Qalby (talk) 05:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Battle Of Latrun

Thank you very much for your interest in this article, and whatever help you can give us to make it better is very much appreciated.

May I ask, please, that you leave the references alone. This is simply because I know from experience this is a job best left to one editor. We know they need fixed but it's best left to one editor, I think (and it's not me!).

Any other edits, please do help out in making it better!

Thank you very much, shuckran. SimonTrew (talk) 02:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am very glad that with my translation this article has got so much attention. Together all we can make it featured article I think! Just a bit more work certainly to fix any facts I have got anything wrong, and the main thing left is to fix references. I can fix the spelling and so forth, but if everybody tries to do it at once one treads on each others' feet.

Shukran effendi this will be FA within a week I bet you. SimonTrew (talk) 02:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there is a small facour you may be able to do me. I assume you can do a little arabic. I have had a bitch of a time trying to get the top lead sorted (S29 September it now says). My editor here will just not have it however I try to edit it, it will not get it right. If you could do that, that would be cool. SimonTrew (talk) 02:49, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's Farsi of course not Araibic but it's the RTL reading order my editor really doesn't like. SimonTrew (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For never failing to add substantial and quality material as you have with the Ayyubids article. I am amazed at how much work you get done in a day. You are truly the tireless contributor. Falastine fee Qalby (talk) 05:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe how much work you did on that article in less than a month. You churn out good articles like it is nothing! Actually, not from Yemen, I was born and raised in the US, but I am Yemeni in ethnicity. My knowledge limited in the history, but I might give editing Rasulid a shot...though it is most likely to wait because I have so much to work on and I am really slow paced :\ What are you taking that is making you so freaking productive? Coffee? -Falastine fee Qalby (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ayyubids expansion

Hi, sorry, I forgot to respond! The article looks much better now. That's the sort of info that makes history seem more real, rather than the usual politics and battles. Thanks! Adam Bishop (talk) 02:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
