[edit] Spanish translation of the week

[edit] Problems with having both versions -- Bollywood names

Skoosh, the problem is that Elyaqim, who's been adding the Urdu, says he doesn't know Devanagari, and doesn't want to add Devanagari. Not only that, he ONLY wants to supply Urdu for people with names that he recognizes as Urdu-Persian-Arabic forms. BernardM, who's been adding the Devanagari, doesn't know Urdu. Elyaqim says that it's preposterous to expect him with work with BernardM to make sure that both forms are always present. Elyaqim is pissed at me and thinks I'm acting like a dictator. YOU go to Talk:Bollywood and propose the two-version solution. See how far you get. I've been saying "Both or neither" and getting nowhere.

If I knew Hindi and Urdu and both scripts, I'd just DO IT MYSELF and there wouldn't be any problem. Zora 05:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Glacier proposal

I understand your concern regarding our translation method at Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week. I have proposed a solution here. Please leave comments so we can create a viable solution. — J3ff 01:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for fixing the disambig page on Matiur Rahman and the two articles that it disambiguated. --Ragib 20:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Latin America

You have voted for South America on Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive a few weeks ago. Now Latin America is nominated. Hope you can help us again by voting for Latin America. --Fenice 07:59, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Book of Roads and Kingdoms

Not an expert on transliteration. That's how I've seen it in some sources, but I don't mind if you change it. --Briangotts (talk) 00:11, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Urdu and User:Sukh

Sukh has been at an edit war for quite some time now. He just won't quit. I tried to reach an agreement but he is persistent in his ridiculous claims. Much dialogue has been done. Sukh is just out there to spread his pro-Sikh anti-hindu, anti-muslim biases throughout wikipedia. Apologize for the bother but Sukh insists on bugging everyone.-------Happytime

I have a feeling that this user is going to be a pain. Some of his edits bear the hallmarks of previous edits by thetruth and has in the past refused to create any sort of dialogue. Please continue removing his ridiculous edits. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 18:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok, i agree with you .Happytime wrote me message in his urdu but i couldnt understand it.i just gusssed what he meant.If he does not know urdu , he has little right to edit that page -unless he has knowledge about it.ask kme if you need my help. i'll also keep an eye on that page .الثاقب (WiseSabre| talk) 21:59, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Urdu language

It seems entirely counterproductive to pre-emptively delete a cleanup tag on the assumption that someone will later accidentally delete it. I have re-added it to the talk page, for lack of anywhere else to put it, but it should be moved to the article page for better visibility. I have no wish to participate in the dispute over this article; I was just tidying Category:Wikipedia_cleanup. -- Beland 01:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or involve you in the dispute; I just wanted to let you know in case you wondered later where the cleanup tag went. I'll try to remember to add it back to the article page on my next edit. --skoosh (háblame) 02:23, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I've had a little luck getting people to work together on the Urdu article. I assume StephenCox is a Harprit sockpuppet, and maybe JusticeLaw is too, but JusticeLaw did attempt to integrate the two versions rather than simply revert as he had been doing up till then. You then copy edited, and then Zora made a major revision rather than simply revert as he had been doing before, and at least he's willing to discuss things on the talk page. Even though JC's and Zora's revisions brought the article nearly into alignment with the old version that each prefers, so they were hardly unbiased, at least they made some accommodation. (StephenCox is still a pest, but maybe that will pass.) Anyway, I'm hoping that if people make reasonable edits, a bit at a time, and justify what they've done on the talk page - or perhaps lay out what they see as wrong with one version or the other point by point for debate - that we may eventually come to an acceptable compromise. For example, JC made the comment to me (though unfortunately not on the Urdu talk page) that he objected to the Urdu article being a comparison with Hindi, I brought that up, and Zora agreed it was a reasonable objection. Anyway, any help you could give in making rational and well supported edits to the article or arguments/dialogue to the talk page would be appreciated. And if your stuff gets deleted by someone less careful, maybe it could be added to both versions as each comes up? kwami 06:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Zora is a she. A fifty-eight year old mom with grey hair and a cane. I just display a masculine style of argument <g>. Zora 07:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Otherwise it'd be Zoro? Sorry, didn't mean to imply that your argumentation was masculine or anything else. I've just given up trying to be gender neutral when my language refuses to cooperate! kwami 07:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

You have ben blocked for 24 hours for violating Wikipedia:Three-revert rule on Urdu language.  Grue  05:58, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] perso-arabic

a million thanks! but then we cant say it's Urdu? because I guess the owner of the shop is Pakistan. so i should say it is written in Urdu or Arabic? --K.C. Tang 01:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, so much from you! so they transliterate "chicken" and "shop", that's curious! Thanks again. :D --K.C. Tang 02:38, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Happytime

Hi,

I see you've been involved in the revert wars at Hindi, Urdu and Hindustani. I believe there is must more to these changes than initially meets the eye and I would appreciate it if you could add evidence against this user at User:Sukh/Revert_War_Evidence. I'm compiling this for a RFC. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 21:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

I've added some info on what appears to be a new sockpuppet at User:Sukh/Revert_War_Evidence. Hope you don't mind. --skoosh (háblame) 15:48, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Great that's fine! If you wish to add more users/ips you're more than welcome. Hopefully I can get this sorted out for a RFC and highlight the issues in question. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 17:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Islamofascism

Howdy, Skoosh.

The same folks who didn't like the books critical of Islam are now trying to delete Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamofascism (term) which has over 500 Kilogoogles (in various forms). Perhaps you could take a look and give your input. Klonimus 00:55, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Algiers Accord

Hey, I changed the Algiers accord site to redirect to Algiers Agreement (1975) which is a longer and hopefully more detailed article mainly because more people refer to it as agreement and when called the algiers agreement it can be coupled with the year 2000 Eriteria ethiopia treaty. Any objections ? --Karimi 22:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
