[edit] Persian Gulf
I think both names should be mentioned for balance; you mentioned about the Sea of Japan; this would probably be a good idea. Where to put the material in the article, is the question?? --SunStar Net 16:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Salem
I am glad to be of help, Jidan. Perhaps you would like to look at the Arabs of Khuzestan and Politics of Khuzestan articles to offer some advice on resolving editorial conflicts. I have tried to engage certain editors in debate, but they ignore me and simply revert everything I write and admins are not at all helpful.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 13:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Oldest relict 3000BC.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oldest relict 3000BC.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 20:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: List of Arab scientists and scholars
His revert definately seems to have been nonsensical - the best thing for you to do is either start discussion on the talk page, proposing your changes and asking why they were reverted, or to make your changes, and when they are reverted you can start discussion and ask User:Khoikhoi to explain what he's done (ask him on his talk page, linking to the article talk page). My preference would be for the first option, and if there's no resistance after a few days, go ahead and make the changes, and then use step two, if needed. If there are any problems with this, I'll be happy to help out! Martinp23 12:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Please try to discuss rather than edit, for now. Make a post of the article talk page to try to build consensus. Martinp23 13:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear Martin, since its creation, the article has been based upon this disclaimer: This is a list of scientists and scholars associated with the Arab World and Islamic Spain (Al-Andalus) that lived from antiquity up until the beginning of the modern age. In some cases, their exact ancestry in unclear. They may have emigrated or immigrated, and thus may appear in other "Lists of...", but nevertheless their names and work are linked to the words "Arab", and "Arabic". Which was suggested by admin User:Alex Bakharev, and is the same as List of Iranian scientists and List_of_Russians#Scientists. The Iranians were against this list since the beginning. They wanted a list of muslims, while of course having the privilage to keep list of iranian scientist[1], but then we have a consenus to keep it like this(see the discussion). Now they are back, again! Your help as a neutral observer is highly appreciated (BTW, Khoikhoi is not! see his arbitration [2]) Cheers, Jidan 11:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- I have posted this on the adminstrator noticeboard [3]. Jidan 14:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- You have now reverted three times at this article today. I know from your block log that you are familiar with our WP:3RR policy and have been warned that edit warring is unacceptable before. If you continue you will be blocked. You must engage in reasoned discussion only, and use dispute resolution when that fails. Dmcdevit·t 03:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the topic "Qat in Yemen"
Greetings Jidan, About the the topic Qat in Yemen, what I wrote about that topic were specifics about Yemen, numbers about Yemen, and I am planning to write about the cultural effect of Qat in Yemen. The point is that I did not talk generally about Qat like mentioning its chemistry, so I do not think it was a good idea to move Qat from the page of Yemen to Khat page. If you see it's not good to put it in the page of Yemen, it's ok and it can be a new article called "Qat in Yemen". However, since what was written about Qat were specific numbers about Yemen, it shouldn't be in the general page of Khat. Therefore, I recommend that you reconsider moving it back to Yemen page or putting it in a new article.
Regards,
Aymx (Don't imitate, innovate) 14:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
