[edit] Sourcing

I guess you don't want to follow the WP:V policy. I don't want to edit war with you over this so I will just stay away from this and other Saudi Arabia articles. Sincerely, Mattisse 01:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

no friend , you can't just remove scripts for not finding sources , maximum thing you can do is adding this Template below

[citation needed] , then such articles about cities and famous places don't need extreme sources , because it's already shown in public :) thanx for care anywaysAmmar 01:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is WP:V non negotiable policy

Sorry, this is what I should have done -- removed it to talk page. Or else I can cite it as unsourced. Which would you prefer?

(quote)

Any edit lacking a source may be removed, but editors may object if you remove material without giving them a chance to provide references. If you want to request a source for an unsourced statement, consider moving it to the talk page.

I should have done that. Sorry . That is what I can do if you prefer. Sincerely, Mattisse 02:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

but you didn't give a "chance to provide references" , and why u recovering too many edits that simply ? just add [citation needed] and give 7 days to editor users to confirm their refrences . Ammar 02:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced material removed to here

Balad traces its history 2,500 years back as a fishing village when the Quda'a (Arabic: قضاعة) fishermen tribe settled there little knowing that they had established the cornerstone for one of the most thriving and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods of the Arab world. Balad is a beautiful blend of the modern and the classic where the glass facades of modern skyscrapers rub shoulders with Historical buidings with the distinct horizontally embedded Wooden beams that has come to symbolize Balad over years.

(Removed as unsourced from article.) I am happy to help you but only by following the Wikipedia policies on sourcing. Sincerely, Mattisse 02:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I want to see articles on Saudi Arabia do well and be professional. I know my being so strict can get on people's nerves. And I apologise to you again. i am very sorry and I believe we both want to do the right thing by the article (which sounds like a really interesting place -- I like ancient history!). Thank you again. Sincerely, Mattisse 02:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
