You're welcome. I joined wikipedia last November. Of course we can cooperate. Egypt-related articles need a lot of work. Cheers.--Wedian 21:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translating articles

Yes, you can. See WP:TIE. You can also request translations there. If you are translating from Arabic to English, you can look here for an example on how to cite the Arabic language article or read the talk page for further information, but my advice if you're starting a new article is to try to look for other references as well to assure its notability. There is a similar page in Arabic wikipedia [1] if you want to translate to Arabic but you may ask someone from the Arabic wikipedia if you need further assistance.--Wedian 00:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New article

Hi. That's fine, but articles lacking content and tagged as "under construction" are generally deleted immediately. Someone else has tagged the replacement as a speedy deletion; you should establish this person's notability before it's deleted again. I'll leave it alone. - Lucky 6.9 04:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

  • We just need to add some more biographical info on our friend, so I'll see what I can dig up to add to it. Greetings right back at you from out near Palm Springs, California!  :) - Lucky 6.9 05:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem...it's great that you have some personal connections! This man was apparently a truly great figure in your country's history. I found a lot of stuff on the internet about him. Take a look at what I've done so far. - Lucky 6.9 05:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Ha, ha.  :) Actually, I'm very glad to help you. I'm going to add a stub notice and call it a night. Don't hesitate to give a yell if you need help. TTYL! - Lucky 6.9 05:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alexandria riot

Actually, i'm not sure what exactly you mean. Do you mean 2005 Alexandria riot? What about it? To delete an article you must nominate it for deletion at WP:AFD according to Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Follow the instructions here to nominate it for deletion. You must provide reasons for why you think it should be deleted and other users will vote either to delete it or keep it. However, i don't think this article would get a majority of "delete" votes. It was a major event and the information is referenced. I'd advise you to change its language instead (e.g. instead of "was an anti-christian riot", try something like "was a demonstration against a play that offended islam in front of St. George's church"). You can also search for other references and expand it ,may be include more information about the play, why was it offensive?,...etc, but try to write in neutral point of view or you edits will be deleted, also try to find references for the information you add. If you have other questions, plz don't hesitate to ask.--Wedian 14:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mubarak

I don't know. The nature of the source ("Founded in 1997 it is considered one of the top online conservative news blogs.") and wording of the cite means it's not conclusive, but neither is it obviously disreputable or the citation's wording imply rumour as opposed to fact.

That was the only cite I found for it, though I was skimming and would say my search was extensive but not nearly exhaustive.

Have you read it elsewhere? Any other keywords I can bring to bear or pinpointing good likely sites besides just starting with Google would help to further define it. TransUtopian 06:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

how to change the category name? I cant find a "move" link! Category:Libaries in Egypt..should be libraries instead. --TheEgyptian 16:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

You can't move a category. Deleting and renaming categories can be requested at WP:CFD. But since this is a typo, i guess it will fall under criteria of speedy renaming. So you can request speedy renaming here.--Wedian 17:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I see you've created another category with the correct name Category:Libraries_in_Egypt. Since Category:Libaries in Egypt has been empty for more than 4 days , i 've requested speedy deletion according to WP:CSD#Categories.It has already been deleted.--Wedian 17:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Egypt and List of Egyptians

Hi again theEgyptian. I've requested semiprotection for Egypt as you suggested. Only administrators can protect or semiprotect a page but you can request protecton here. It is now protected against ip and new users edits. As for the list of Egyptians, i've noticed the ongoing mess. I'll try to figure out a way to clean it up.--Wedian 17:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Modern Alex" Pics

AA,

The pictures that you loaded on the Alexandria page are wonderful. We don't have information under the Modern Alexandria section yet so it looks kind of "weird" with just the pictures there. I hid them from view but they have not been deleted. If you add info under that section and want to reinstate the pics, you can just remove the "<!--" when you edit the section. Wiahlan wa sahlan li Wiki. I'm glad to see that there are other Alexandrians on here ;)--Stoa 21:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

WS,
Don't worry about writing info under the section. I just meant that while we find something to write under there (it can be you or anyone else), I think we should keep the pics hidden from view 3shan shakl el section bayikh bidoon ay kalam, sa7? I'm going to move the pics to wiki commons so that everyone can see them there. I saw this (Talk:Alexandria#Start_Talking_about_Modern_Alexandria) and now I kind of understand what you mean. InshaAllah I'll try to add something under there if I get a chance. --Stoa 22:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2005 Alexandria riot

Actually, it's not a fact that the play offended Islam, even according to the sources. BBC says it was accused of that, and CSM says the protesters said that.

I don't see where it's specified that the three who died were protesters. While it's probable, if it's specified in the articles, I missed it.

About the "anti-Christian" lead in, that sounds a bit pov, but I don't want to restate "a riot to protest a play they said offended Islam" in such a small article. If you can think of another way to characterize/sum up the riot that's supported by those or other reliable sources, go ahead. (So far I haven't come up with anything.)

[edit] Siwa

Yeh it looks sourced,, but .i will google 'anal sex' 'siwa' -maxrspct in the mud 19:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article rating

Hi there! Not all articles are rated. Usually those that fall within a WikiProject will be rated according to this quality scale. If an article has been rated, you will find a template on the associated talk page. See Talk:Ahmose I for an example. — [zɪʔɾɪdəʰ] · t 21:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Permanent link

Hi Cherry, thanks for your quick answer for my question about Permanent link. However, I'm afraid to tell you that I didn't understand exactly what it means, how I can use it and when is it gone! --TheEgyptian 23:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Pages on Wikipedia change over time as people add, alter or remove information. If you look at a page today, it may look different when you look at it again in a week's time. If you save the permanent link, rather than the general article title, then it will always look as it does today. In order to use it you can copy the link and save it, and it will always point to the version of the article you see at that time. This is mainly useful when you need someone else to see the same version of the article you see, some time in the future. For example, if you cite a specific fact to a Wikipedia article and link to it then you might want to link to the permanent version of the article so that if someone follows your link then they will always see the version with that fact in it, even if it is removed or altered at a later date. Hope this helps. --Cherry blossom tree 23:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We need your help!

Hi, TheEgyptian. A new WikiProject about Egypt was proposed. You can read the details here. I thought you would be interested, so, if you are add your name to the list. We need your effort. Thank you.

--Meno25 22:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

With pleasure. --TheEgyptian 23:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for participating.

--Meno25 00:04, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I created a temporary page for the project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Egypt/Temp. Feel free to modify it.

Hello Canislatrans, the reply is right here --TheEgyptian 19:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My User page

{{helpme}}

My user page doesn't look OK. There's a template on the right side saying this page has been deleted..., I need help. --TheEgyptian 09:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

There was a userbox ({{User arab world unity}}) on your page which was deleted under criterion WP:CSD#T1 ('divisive and inflammatory templates'). Your userpage was just fixed (after you asked the question) by Luna Santin, who removed it [2]. Hope that helps! --ais523 09:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict :p) {{User arab world unity}} was deleted and protected with {{deletedpage}} (log) -- since it was transcluded onto your userpage, this was causing some problems (I removed it for you, for now, but feel free to do what you like to fix things up). I see that another template on your page, {{newcomer}}, was also deleted (or never existed?), but this poses less of a problem for the time being. If you're not sure why the template(s) were deleted, I'd suggest asking the administrators involved, or making a request at deletion review. Hope that helps! Luna Santin 09:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "196.218.168.142", about "Alexandria" article

Hey TheEgyptian,

First, thank you for your message.

Well, I didn't regiter in Wikipedia because I'm not intending to be a permanent contributor or article-creator (though I thought of creating some articles before). So all that I've contributed in was only the "Alexandria" article and the other ones related to "Alexandria". But anyways, I may create an account later.

As for the instructions of editing, don't worry I followed the rules very well. I never copy from any copyrighted sources, all the information I wrote was from my own mind such as those in "Culture of Alexandria" and "Sightseeing". And I just edited and made the other divisions more elegant and organized. If you find anything wrong or unorganized I made, you can tell me about it.

If you have anything else to tell me about, feel free to leave a message.

Sure if I'm gonna create an account someday, I'll be teaming up with you.

Nice to talk to you, see ya —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.218.168.142 (talk) 01:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
