[edit] List of converts to Islam

Greetings, I noticed that you've been adding to the list. Please follow the list norms and when citing a convert to Islam also cite from what belief individuals have converted from otherwise additions you make will likely be removed. Thanks. Netscott 17:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you're adding more companions... kindly add from what belief they converted from. Thanks. Netscott 03:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I cant always find out what they converted from Bazel 03:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey "brother" Basel, are you sure you want to get List of converts to Islam deleted? Check your vote again.--Matt57 19:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll do them but it will take some time, these are a lot of albums

[edit] WikiProject Syria

For now, you can add {{User WP Syria}} to your user page to add a userbox and yourself to the category of participants. I've already spent almost ten hours creating and designing WikiProject Syria. I will report back when I'm done from designing the principal elements of WP:SY. Regards, Anas talk? 16:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Basel. :-) You might want to head to WP:SY/P and add you area of expertise or simply what kind of help you are willing to offer for the project. Regards, Anas talk? 20:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Basel, I'd be thankful if you can watch the project's talk page for required tasks. It is recommended that you add the project to your watchlist to keep you upgraded. Thanks - Anas talk? 21:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

I'm sorry about that. It looked in the recent changes like it was a blank. I fixed it though. King Lopez Contribs 09:44, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kibbeh

Hi Bazel, how are you? Please, do you have a good recipe for Kibbeh or Sfiha? Your picture looks great! Thanks.--Legionarius 08:00, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


Thanks about the pictures, but the real people who deserve the thanks are my mom and grandmother for making the food, I'll try to write recipes for them Bazel 08:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Lucky you! :-) Thanks, it is hard to find good recipes, lots of them are not authentic.--Legionarius 08:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I am going on a hunger strike until you send the recipes. Ok, just kidding :-). You look busy lately.--Legionarius 02:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab Wiki project

Are you interested ... Sign up then! [1] --Aziz1005 03:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab article

As I did read this article, it contains a lot of unusual information, propagandistic views and weasel words in the article Arab. I therefore would like to get a group with me who are able to rewrite this article in a best way to get best results. Anyone who want to join our team add your name below in the Arab Talk page. Please note that after the team has gathered, we will place "under-progress" tag. Irqirq 14:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The newest WikiProject

The project birthday would be celebrated every August 24.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Important notice

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask User:FayssalF for the time being, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!


[edit] Mixtapes

Hi Basel. Personally, I don't dislike mixtapes (I've got several myself), I just don't think they're notable enough for an article. It's not notable because there's no info such as sales, charts, certifications, music reviews etc. All they can ever be is a track list and an infobox. Some are actually notable like Welcome to tha Chuuch - Da Album, but most are not. Chamillionaire is notable, but most of his tapes are not. The same goes for many other artists. Spellcast 02:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

You're allowed to remove the prod at any time. If it is notable, there should be multiple, third party sources provided. But a Google search only shows sites like datpiff.com and tapekingz.com, which are just stores. At the moment (this may or may not change), I left out the Mixtape Messiah series because they actually seem notable (that's not to say they might be deleted in the future).

[edit] Attempts to reduce the Arabic language status

A user known for his/her Anti-Arab agenda made it his/her mission to claim that all Arabic dialects are independent languages, starting with Egyptian Arabic dialect. Egyptian Arabic (Maṣrī مصري) is an Arabic dialect. has to be clearly emphasized in the Egyptian Arabic article

  • The only language to branch out of Arabic is Maltese. Can you please help me organize these articles?.

Arabic dialect has to be clearly added in the infobox an openning sentence so it dont get confused as a language!--Skatewalk 20:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So we speak 22 languages?

Can you please help Zerida (and her sock-puppets) understand that Egyptian Arabic is a dialect (because now she is claiming that its a language!), I think she is already taking it personal! (Egyptian Arabic)I mean once they declare every dialect a Language I will have a beautiful resume with 22 languages on it, but as of now unfortunately the constituition of Egypt and every Arab nation only recognizes one Arabic language as the only Arabic language!--Skatewalk 18:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Chamillionaire template

No, not necessarally. I was just reformatting the template so it would be standard to Template:Navbox Musician (since other rapper templates have been the same). Adding featured singles and mixtapes is optional. However (in my opinion), I would prefer not to add mixtapes to the template. Adding featured singles is okay, but not preferred (see Template:Eminem, who has many mixtapes and featured singles). The Chronic 06:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Alright. That's cool. Just keep it at that template style (and maybe try to convert those templates that aren't in that template style). The Chronic 23:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Life of.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Al-D

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Al-D, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Al-D is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Al-D, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
