[edit] 3rr on al-Khwarizmi

You have broken WP:3RR on al-Khwarizmi. Since you're new, you get a warning; next time you will be blocked. Please don't revert there again until you've discussed this on the talk page & carefully read the 3RR rule. William M. Connolley 20:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

And just to prevent any possible misunderstanding, I'll add that even if you have discussed it on the talk page, you are still not allowed to revert four times within any 24-hour period. And partial reverts also count as reverts. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 20:26, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
If you check the page, I have added legit sources proving that al-Khwarizmi is an Arab, R.Koot wasn't too fond of my tangible proofs, so he kept deleting when I put in the fact that he was an Arab, preferring to falsify the truth by keeping it ambiguos and implying he's Persian in the categories secition. MB 13:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Please be aware that admins considering blocking you are unlikely to sift through the claims and counter-claims, and probably shouldn't, on principle. You are judged on "have you reverted more than 3 times". No more. There are exceptions for WP:VAND simple vandalism, but thats *not* what is onvolved here. William M. Connolley 14:33, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] personal attacks

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks,

We do not tolerate personal such as these attacks on Wikipedia. This is your last warning, do it again and you will be blocked. —Ruud 15:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Regarding this edit:
    You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours for personal attacks and incivility against other users. When the block expires, please refrain from attacking other users or this account will face longer blocks, and action could be taken against the individual who uses it. --InShaneee 20:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
    • You were warned, twice, right above this block to stop this type of behavior. Considering that, I'd say a 24 hour block is fairly lenient. And despite what you think, personal attacks ARE hurtful to people. You might not have posted the user's home address or anything like that, but the simple fact is that name calling of ANY KIND under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES is very strictly prohibited. If the user is truly a troll, report his actions to someone. If you want to be in a debate, keep it civil or you will be blocked again. As a matter of fact, looking at your recent edits, you are continuing to use combative language with other users, such as accusing an admin of 'abusing his power'. Consider this another warning. Stay civil or you will be blocked without further warning. --InShaneee 03:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credibility of Wikipedia is heavlly suffering because of some persian extremists!!!

Hi MB,

I have also noticed this problem. I gave up long time ago this boring reverting war. Those people have simply nothing else better to do than to tag everything persian.

Solution: next time you want to look up some information, just dont look it at wikipedia and advice your friends too not to look there. Because it will properly be also persian!! ;-) Jidan 23:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] autoblock

Your username was not blocked. However, you may have been affected by a so-called "autoblock" that was due to a block placed on another user. This can happen especially if you are using AOL, due to AOL's IP address allocation policy that causes multiple users to share the same IP address. -- Curps 05:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] preventive warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

I'm warning both you, User:Jidan, User:ManiF and User:Zmmz. I'm not going pick sides here as there is some truth in everbodies arguments. However your collective actions are damaging the articles. If you truly are intresting in writing a good and objective on al-Khwarizmi you will stop editing and take your differences to talk page and discuss things civily. And please thouroughly read through WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and stop all the speculations and citing of websites and other encyclopedias. And please do go out to the library and find some books on him and see what the historians have to say on this matter. Cheers, —Ruud 23:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message on my talk page

- Hi, you left a message on my talk page about R.Koot deleting references. I'm not sure why you came to me, as I have no knowledge of the subject matter, and don't recall having encountered you before. Sorry I can't help. By the way, I have substed some messages on your talk page which were in template form. What this means is that I've reduced the load on the server, but haven't altered the content in any way, just the coding. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 10:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Al-Khwarizmi

It would help if you would revert to the version that gives all three hypotheses rather than reverting to your Arab-only version. Giving all sides a say is the only way we're going to end this. Zora 07:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi MB,We have agreed to use Muslim at the introduction. Please dont change it to arab! Because it will most likely be instansly changed. Even if the persians change it to persian, we have to be more civilized and change it back to muslim.Jidan 07:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
It's not that you're more civilized it's just that I think you'll find it very hard arguing against the fact that he's Persian. BTW, interesting how Kharazm and Kharazmi are Arabic names! Alireza Hashemi 22:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
If you read the discussions, you will know its actually more harder to prove the opposite. BTW: You forgot the "AL" in khwarazmi, which makes it arabic. ;-) Jidan 22:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3rr on Al-Khwarizmi (again)

Ah well, you broke the rule (WP:3RR) again, but you've been warned, so I've blocked you [1] William M. Connolley 23:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked for violating the 3RR on Geber

Blocked for 36 hours. I would usually just do 24 but you were just blocked for this less than a week ago. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 12:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Hi, please know that you cannot call others names, or attack anyone here in Wiki, just stick to talking about the article itself. Also, please know that erasing an entire section that comes with valid references, or refusing to accept any references, can be considered form of vandalism, and it also violates the NPOV policy. [2] Thank youZmmz 08:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to [[:{{{1}}}]]. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Antonrojo 16:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Uh...who are you? And whatever you were trying to do, didn't work. Yeah, try again, won't you! MB 16:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


Hi, Please do not revert sourced material, it may be considered vandalism. I think two scholarly publications, even by Westerners are solid enough foundation to keep the citation. If you still have doubts, you can add the {{dubious}} template at the end of the citation or state something that modern Arabic publications of Ibn Khaldun usually do not have the citations provided, etc. Please also continue research there the citation came from or if the meaning of it was misrepresented by ignorant translators, but do not blank the section. abakharev 18:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I have a question

Why are you writing that Avieccen was an Arab? He was an Iranian, his biography says so. He spoke Persian and he was born in Iran. So what is your rational? 69.196.139.250 20:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Persian Gulf

Could you give me some feedback on my edit here? Thanks. AucamanTalk 05:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ibn Khaldun

Could you keep an eye on this article? Some people are trying to remove the dispute tag without even answering the questions. AucamanTalk 01:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Civility

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Avoid labeling good faith edits as vandalism it is a form of a personal attack. Your edit sumary to this edit was wrong Alex Bakharev 10:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arvandrud/Shatt al-Arab

Regarding your removal of the term "Arvandrud" from the article: the Arvandrud/Shatt al-Arab waterway is owned by two countries only, it is not an international water way, therefore, by UN decree, names used by either country is acceptable, as each own it and both have naming rights to it. This is not like international bodies of water.Azerbaijani 05:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the one that wrote that. Infact, I agree with you, both should be mentioned in the passage. I will do it myself. Also, where a certain people live is not justification for anything, so what if they live on both sides of the river? Also, just so you know, most of the Arabs are not indigenous in that region, they are a result of immigration mostly, going back several hundred years and also, the term Arvandrud is has been used for a lot longer than Shatt al Arab has been I believe, since Iraq, in the words of one Arab scholar of the Islamic Empire "was a Persian country" and was Arabized.Azerbaijani 17:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Incorrect. If you want to talk of name change, its mostly the other way around, where the invading Arabs conquered half of Iran (Iraq) and proceeded to change the names of man of the cities. Mosul, along with many other cities in Iraq today, for example was founded by Iran and had Iranian names. Secondly, it was Arab armies that invaded and captured Iran, this does not mean that Arabs from Arabia suddenly packed up and moved to Khuzestan. Most of the Arabs in todays world were Arabized, they are not ethnic Arabs. You saying that Khuzestan was always Arab is like saying that Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Iraq, etc... was always Arab.Azerbaijani 19:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Ali doostzadeh

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Khoikhoi 22:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I've blocked you for 48 hours for this, in addition to your WP:GAMEing at the Nasser Pourpirar article. Please do not edit war, and remain civil whenever you make comments. The length of this block is based on your previous blocks, and they will increase if your behavior remains unmodified. Khoikhoi 02:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
How was I involved in "GAMEing" exactly? Just check the talk page and see what Madravich was pushing for; I committed no wrong, I was pointing out his mistake in asking me to get him the sources for his claims. You didn't even give me a warning about the 3RR something that you should be doing, and I didn't taunt him about violating 3RR, why did you block me then? MB 11:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
