Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Temple Mount, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Noble Sanctuary / Temple Mount

[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your message.

Wikipedia's policy with respect to naming articles is that the title should be "the most common English-language name of the subject". (See WP:Common name for details.) In most English sources, the site is referred to as the Temple Mount, not the Noble Sanctuary.

If you feel that I'm wrong, and you think the article should be renamed, please start a discussion at Talk:Temple Mount. That will give other editors an opportunity to express their opinions on the matter. Keep in mind, however, that the matter was discussed last year. You can see that discussion at Talk:Temple Mount#Name change.

Please let me know if you have any questions. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 23:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1) I didn't write the sentence you quoted. I don't know how to speak Arabic.
2) I'm not interested in debating the matter. Above I told you how to start a discussion about changing the name of the article. If you're interested, please start a discussion at Talk:Temple Mount. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
