[edit] Hi

Thanks for your note. I removed your email because spammers frequently scan websites for email addresses to collect. You are welcome to email me using the "E-mail this user" on the left-hand margin of my talk page. I'll be happy to help in any way I can. A word of advice, it may be useful to write something on your main page because having content there prevents your username Thameen from appearing in red and thus gives you some more credibility around here.

أنا سعدت لقدومك الى وكيبيديا، نحن نحتاج الى أصوات فلسطينية جيدة وغير معادية للآخرين الذين ليسوا مؤيدين لحقوقنا (يوجد الكثير منهم هنا لكن الإحترام المتبادل مهم جدا). إستمر بالعمل الجيد! أنا أضع فلسطين وسمعتها على هذا الموقع أعلى وأهم من الدول العربية المتخلفة الأخرى. سلام

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Please, however, refrain from using your username signature in Wikipedia articles. Username signatures are used for talk (discussion) pages only. --Kurt 03:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it is active. I guess it was just an oversight of features. I'm currently writing a bug report on this so that this issue doesn't arrise in the future. --Kurt 20:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scorpions amongst butterflies

Dear Thameen,

Your butterfly list for Israel/Palestime contained information about Family Buthidae of Scorpions. I have shifted the Scorpions onto the talk page. You may like to create the scorpion subpage which is a red link at the moment. Please see WikiProject Arthropod for facilitated creation of arthropod articles.AshLin 02:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR violation

Hello Thameen just letting you know that you have violated the 3RR and could be blocked if you do not revert yourself.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 16:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry but the jist of a 3RR violation is 4 reverts in 24 hours, that is something that I haven't done and you have.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 16:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

You have now been blocked for 24 hours for revert warring. --InShaneee 17:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thameen: Thanks for your note. I'm sorry you are having problems with some pages but my advice to you is not to worry too much about propaganda pages. The page you referred to above is clearly (in my opinion) a page just meant to show Palestinians in a negative light; it has no other purpose and it's not worthy of an encyclopedic entry otherwise. I usually stay away from such articles, I consider them not worth my time. The more one-sided they are, the less encyclopedic and reliable their content will be. If you want to do anything, don't erase or modify anything, but add any relevant information to make sure that a reader has knowledge of the other perspective only. If some information is clearly wrong, then erase it and discuss in the talk page why you did so (i.e. with sources). But otherwise don't try to change or modify a word, because it's really not worth your time to edit "Palestinians are animals" type articles; they are usually self-destructive by their very existence, and you would do your reputation much more service by working on constructive articles instead of hateful destructive ones. Hope this helps. Ramallite ^(talk) 22:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

How about redirecting to "Biodiversity in the holy land" - in the talk page explain that Israel does not consider the West Bank and Gaza part of it, but the wildlife you refer to is in the WB also, so Holy Land is a neutral compromise.. what do you think?

I just did it. But didn't do anything in the talk page. Ramallite ^(talk) 18:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thameen,

I simply removed a double-redirect. I didn't edit the content or the title. I understand that many of us are passionate about these topics, but we can't forget that we're all simply people building towards a common goal. We must all assume good faith towards each other. Happy editing ;-), Tewfik^Talk 21:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Thameen,

You could probably find out by examining the redirect page history, but being as no one has since disturbed Ramallite's new page, I would personally not pursue the issue. Happy editing, Tewfik^Talk 14:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR warning

Hello Thameen, I should notify you that you are again in danger of violating the 3RR rule on Child suicide bombers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If you revert again you could be blocked from editing.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 17:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I RV once, I reverted your vandalism of my edits. I have the right to protect my sourced and NPOV edits. --Thameen 17:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversions

Well, the first step here is to assume good faith. No need to go around accusing other users of vandalism. Secondly, and more importantly, the next step is to take your changes to the talk page. Just say why you what you want to add and why, and ask for the opinion of other editors (again, please don't lash out here, just talk about the article and the content you plan to add). With any luck, you'll be able to get feedback on the other editors' concerns and hopefully reach some sort of comprimise. --InShaneee 20:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Child suicide bombers...

I agree with you that the section about the 21 year old should be removed, and I have done so and left an explanatory note on the talk page. For the number of suicide bombers in the first sentence, however, the source you had only listed suicide bombings up till December 2005. I'm going to look for a source that provides the current numbers, but until one is found, some sort of vague "hundreds" statement is probably appropriate. --Robth^Talk_Cleanup? 03:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fandaqumiya

I moved Pentacomia to the most common transliteration, Fandaqumiya. By the way, [from] whence were the scans of the ancient coins acquired? Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 06:32, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Your own personal collection? In Nablus? Have you ever had them seriously investigated? Where exactly did you find them? I would love to hear the story behind them. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 14:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thameen, While I'm hardly a numismatist, I have a small collection of international coins and notes - but almost all from this last century. My curiosity about your collection is rooted more in my interest in archaeology, especially that relating to the history of Palestine. I'm intrigued as to what other substantial finds may be laying beneath the surface ;-). I'm currently studying overseas, though I spent the last couple of years in the Bait Lahm area. All the best, Tewfik^Talk 05:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thameen,

Unfortunately, I can only "study" archaeology in my free time; my resources are committed to pursuing a career in your field though :-). I was not born in Israel, though my family has dwelled in Palestine since Ottoman times. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 04:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm attempting to enter the same field that you are in, for better or for worse =D Tewfik^Talk 03:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nemo

What, you ask, did I do with Nemo? I gobbled him up; gobbled him up quick, with a little soya sauce, Wasabi and a pitcher of sake. If I find any more epictures of other cute and adorable animals that I've eaten, I'll be sure to post them. That reminds me! I have an excellent photo of Bambi, whose loins went very well with a fine Burgundy and a chery suace.DocEss 21:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved your list. :)

Hi! I moved your new list to the title, List of mosquitoes in Israel and Palestine to keep it in line with titling conventions. Thanks for the contribution. - Lucky 6.9 05:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help. I was about to do the same thing to the list of snails that you made, something along the lines of List of snails in Israel and Palestine. That's a hell of a lot of work you've done logging those species. - Lucky 6.9 05:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow, good question. I honestly don't know. That's one for the help desk. Click on the "Help" link on the left side of the page and leave a question. If it's currently being manned, you'll have an answer soon. Thanks for asking. - Lucky 6.9 05:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Image Contributions Template

What is the template used to show a thumbnail list of all the images contributed by a user?--Thameen 06:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but no such template exists, as of yet. Although, you can check your log to look at the list of images you have uploaded and the page moves you have performed. --Nearly Headless Nick 06:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks --Thameen 07:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

But there is a tool for it. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Palestine Navigation box

Have created a template for Palestinian related stuff Template:Palestine. Hopefully it will connect a lot of the articles out there and make it easier to navigate. Please help! See talk page Template_talk:Palestine Pockets23 15:43, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Template:Palestine

Hi, saw your note on the Palestine template, it's up for deletion at the moment. If you think it should be kept then leave a comment here: [[1]]. Thanks Pockets23 17:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3alayna wa 3laykoum

Salam

Thanks for your message. I enjoy your contributions as well and I hope to see more from you :-D. --Inahet 16:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] just wanted to double check

are you the actual author of the images (Image:Kaaba1.jpg, Image:Kaaba2.jpg), meaning that you actually took the pictures, added the backgrounds and borders, and drew the very intricate diagram yourself? both images look like they have been scanned due to the fold on the right side of kaaba1.jpg and a similar fold on the left of kaaba2.jpg, and i'd assume that if this was the case then the copyright of the material is not owned by you. thank you. ITAQALLAH 22:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

the best thing to do is take a look at WP:IMAGE and WP:TAG to find out what the appropriate tags for these images are. you may also need to clarify the exact source (i.e. name of book, publisher details etc.) it was obtained from and put this in the relevant image summary section. if the work you scanned it from is copyrighted, it's extremely likely that the images may not be suitable for use due to copyright laws. thank you.

[edit] Welcome to the Kindness Campaign!

Just my way of saying thanks to newcomers to the Kindness Campaign... a delicious home-baked chocolate chip cookie! Yum. :D ♥ Kylu (talk • contribs • email • logs • count)

Pester me if you run out of ideas on ways to make someone's day better. I'm just full of...ideas. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 01:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dear Thameen,

I love your user page! Especially the logo with the colours of Falasteen. Thanks for the welcome and your kind words about the articles I created. Aslic min weyn bi falasteen? Ana min al-Nasra. Keep up the good work. Let me know whenever I can be of assistance. Tiamut 13:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a long story, but yes, I am living here now. I married a local Nasraawi a couple of years ago, but I was living in Canada and a couple of other places before that. If you want to talk more, you can always email me. Are you still in the Jenin area? Tiamut 20:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you're around, but you may want to share your vision of this series over here. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 05:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Not as far as I know - I advocated merging them into whatever convention is already in use. Tewfik^Talk 15:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Kaaba1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kaaba1.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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
