[edit] Al-Afdal

Great start for an article. I hope you have time to work on it more and make it really great. It could greatly be improved by some sources, not only don't that make it more reliable it also makes it eailer for others to expand the article.

I have moved the article Al-Afdal to Al-Afdal ibn Salah al-din because there are several "Al-Afdal". (See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more information). Jon513 (talk) 15:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, thanks for your contributions. I've only changed one thing - I think it would be better to use the name "Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani" if we ever have an article about him, since he is usually known by the full name. Also, if you'd like, you can join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle Ages/Crusades task force, which has just been created. Adam Bishop (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ?

{{helpme}} Where are some great sources?

That depends on what you're looking for, but make sure they are reliable.--Werdan7T @ 04:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting? Help Me

How do you delete an article? This question is asked because I'm a new newpage patrol

An article can only be delete by Admin, you can request a speedy delete if it satisfy with the criteria in WP:SD. Is easy, just place related speedy templates in article you may ask for delete. --Aleenf1 08:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion nominations

You've recently been doing a bunch of deletion nominations from new page patrol. I've noticed several for which a quick Google would have shown you that the topics are in fact valid. In those cases, tagging for deficiencies is preferable to AFD. Thanks, Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 10:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Deletion Requests

Hi, Its great to see someone else actively trying to maintain Wikipedia - but some of the articles you're putting up for deletion look like they are legitimate attempts at articles even if they aren't very well written yet. Generally WP recommends you assume good faith on the part of the author, and try and suggest ways of fixing problems before trying deletion. If you're not sure if a topic is legit or not its a good idea to look outside Wikipedia say on Google to see if there is much written about it - not everything is on here yet! -Hunting dog (talk) 10:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crusades

I don't have any requests at the moment, but you can write about anything you want. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani, but it's mostly copied from crusades-encyclopedia.com, and we're not allowed to do that. Sorry, we'll have to re-write it. Adam Bishop (talk) 20:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I used Malcolm Lyons and D.E.P. Jackson's book "Saladin, the Politics of the Holy War", which uses Imad ad-Din as a source but doesn't say much about his life. I just took random interesting facts from there. Gabrieli has a little bit of info in Arab Historians of the Crusades. I also tried translating the Arabic article, although my Arabic is not very good, and I don't know what sources they used. I want to add more from the Encyclopedia of Islam, and hopefully the sources they cite, and the library has the French translation of al-Fath al-Qussi by Masse, which I want to look at as well. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, really? I think the EI is pretty neutral. In this case it is not a problem anyway, there is nothing controversial about Imad ad-Din! Adam Bishop (talk) 05:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:CanadianLinuxUser

Hey, just so you know, users are allowed to blank their own talk pages if they wish. Have a look at WP:TALK#User talk pages. Thanks and good luck. --Schcamboaon scéal? 14:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thaks for letting me know. I thaught it was vandalism. Sincerely {Hellboy2hell (talk) 06:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)}

[edit] My RfA

You said you thought i was power hungry; can i ask what made you think that? thanks. Ironholds 22:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Re Your reply to Ironholds: Erm... hotheaded is not the same as power hungry eg megalomania. Just fyi. Qb | your 2 cents 09:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I think there's a difference between having a temper and having a psychological disease :P. Ironholds 11:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and when you copy a bit of wikistyle code from someone elses page (the "leave a message..." bit) it's normally courteous to ask first. I'm fine with you using it (not like it took long to do or anything) but i do wish you'd asked since you messed up the code and it redirects to my page. I've corrected it, but in future drop me a line before stealing a line. Ironholds 11:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
No problem, although letting you copy it would have been you asking before you copied. RfA opposition is no barrier to civility, although i'm kind of annoyed that you used "power hungry", it gave me and probably other users the completely wrong impression. But I appreciate that's not neccessarily your fault, so we'll let it be. What's done is done. The past you can't change, but the future..? Ironholds 11:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I used to deal with AfD's and MfD's a lot, yes. I've moved over to expanding and writing; creating good stuff rather than deleting crap stuff. Ironholds 12:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

I've welcomed a bit in my time, and I used to spend hours on new page patrol; I find it's a good way to get rid of non-notable stuff before it gets imbedded. I used to categorise articles and the number of crappy, unimportant bits that nobody had picked up yet used up a lot of time. Writing is good in that it expands wikipedia rather than cutting away the crappy bits. You need both, I guess. Ironholds 12:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jerusalem

Hi Hellboy3hell (great name! :D). It was protected because of an edit war, which is currently being thrashed out on the talk page (second thread from the bottom). I'm going to try unprotection, simply because it's a really high-profile article, but it'll be instantly reprotected if the edit war reoccurs. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 13:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

This is just a note to say thank you for your support in my successful RfA. Epbr123 (talk) 00:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
