[edit] Hello

Thanks for experimenting with the page Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Muttalib on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. PJM 22:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

From Arabic Language:

Nasab The nasab indicates the person's heritage by the word ibn (sometimes bin) which means "son". Thus Ibn Khaldun means "son of Khaldun" (Khaldun is the father's ism, or proper name). Several nasab can follow in a chain, to trace a person's ancestry backwards in time. This was important in the tribally based society of the ancient Arabs, both for purposes of identification and for social and political interaction.

Please be even more good-willed and use edit summaries, so other editors know your intentions ahead of time. Also, don't resort to name calling; see WP:CIVIL. I reverted my test2 warning which does not really apply. Thanks. PJM 22:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your apology

Thanks for the apology. It was not your reference to Cerberus; he's quite cool, actually. It was your "bloodhound" remark, which I see you've since changed to "guard dog" (I love dogs, but it was more the tone). Anyway, you're right, I did leave the wrong Wikilink. BTW - it seems your IP address is now blocked. Cheers. PJM 00:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More vandalism

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Hilary Duff. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. --Yamla 04:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
