[edit] Assyrian/Syriac naiming dispute

Hi, could you take a look at this discussion? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Assyrian_name_dispute#Other_name Funkynusayri (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I really can't be bothered doing this circus sideshow again. Sorry. — Gareth Hughes (talk) 22:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
You could take a look at an article about Assyrians written by Chip Coakley. — Gareth Hughes (talk) 12:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Chip needs to do his homework. He's obviously not giving those isolated, and debatable, medieval source enough attention. The Assyrian identity had never actually disappeared from our poeple. It had diminished, which is very logical since we had no empire/state for centuries, but the Assyrian identity was still there. Also, how can he ignore what's written in the Carmelites in Persia, Horatio Southgate, and lots of other references? He's just taking after John Joseph's theory, trying to make it seem like the discovery of Nineveh was somehow the cause of it. Of course, when you discover the past of our ancestors, it will somehow affect their descendants with an ethnic identity replenishment (or however you want to describe it). In any case, the Austen Henry Layard brainwashed the Nestorians to identify as Assyrians theory is lame and refuted a hundred times over. It's getting tired with these so called experts reusing this ineffective theory in updated incantations against us. By the way:
Yosip Seman Assemani (1687 – 1768) the Lebanese states:

“Chaldeans are Assyrians and were generally known as Easterners and Nestorians.” [1]

This was before Britons found the ancient remnants of Nineveh, and it was before the French revolution and the ideology of European nationalism (which of course, also affected us with nationalist sentiments). — EliasAlucard (talk · contribs) 02:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kurów

Could you please write an article about Kurów on Syriac language here ( http://kurow-wiki.openhosting.pl/wiki/syr:Kurow ) – just a few sentences based on http://kurow-wiki.openhosting.pl/wiki/en:Kurow ? Only 5-10 sentences enough. Please.

PS. Article about Kurów is already on 242 languages and dialects. If your village/town/city isn't yet on PL Wikipedia, I can do article about it. Pietras1988 (talk) 09:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Let me get this right: you want an article in Syriac about some Polish town. What kind of nonsense spam is this? — Gareth Hughes 13:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
This isn't spam. I have already 243 languages and dialects so a lot of people wrote me article. Pietras1988 14:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ܫܠܡܐ ܡܠܦܢܐ

Hi Gareth! How can I write the plural dots, or whatever you call them, in Syriac at Wiki? Suryoye - ܣܘܪ݁ܝܝܐ - isn't correct. If I write ܣܘܪ݀ܝܝܐ, it still looks wierd. Any suggestions? ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܨܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܟܬܘܒ »ܣܘܪܝܝܐ» ܣܓܝܢܝܐܝܬ؟ Help me out! Shalito 21:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Shalito! The Unicode Syriac block doesn't have a code point for syāmē (ܣܝ̈ܡܐ). You have to use U+0308 combining diaeresis, which is in the 'combining diacritical marks' block. — Gareth Hughes 22:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Messages to a Dynamic IP

When I loaded wikipedia today I was presented by an ugly bar saying `You Have New Messages` which accused me of vandalism :p

In anycase, the IP i'm currently using is a dynamic one, so I understand that your message was for whoever was using this IP at a previous date.

Could you please remove the messages from my talk page? Not everyone who uses wikipedia from this region (India) may realise that the message wasn't intended from them.

PS: You may want to just generally not post on the entire /16 Subnet, as they are all IPs owned by the ISP BSNL and generally reset every 24 hours 59.92.163.10 (talk) 18:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
