Welcome
Hi Σύμμαχος, and welcome to Wikipedia. What do you need help with? Dekkappai (talk) 00:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Σύμμαχος. I moved the article to The Battle of Dasman, and did some copyedit on the text. You will have to add some sourcing-- news or other writings-- in order to keep the article on Wikipedia.
 * To get some help on how to edit articles here, Welcome to Wikipedia might help, particularly Five pillars. I won't be able to help with the article, because I'm not a history/politics person. Good luck! Dekkappai (talk) 01:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OK-- I can't read Arabic at all, but I tried to add it as a source. I don't know if I did it right at all, because I have no knowledge at all in this area... You can probably find an editor who is better able to help you at one of the related WikiProjects. You might ask someone at Category:WikiProject Iraq participants, or WikiProject Kuwait, or in one of the other projects listed under Category:WikiProject Middle East. Regards.

The Battle of the Bridges
Eh, how do you get the idea that I could help you with that article? To be honest, this is way out of my expertise, so I doubt that I could contribute a lot to it. (Lord Gøn (talk) 18:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC))

I guess for this kind of job it would be better to ask someone whose native language actually is English. Chances are high that I would overlook something or make just another mistake while trying to fix one. (Lord Gøn (talk) 18:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC))
 * I'll help you with The Battle of the Bridges if you wish. I'm a history/politics/military person and I know a good deal of the background. What's your source for this article? Buckshot06 (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Please always when you use such sources, add the exact name, author, and title of the book to the article. Otherwise the information could have come from - a chatroom discussion, or somebody talking with their friends. Due to WP:V, we must cite sources. Please add the details of both books, the Kuwaiti and the Iraqi, as soon as possible. Kind regards from New Zealand, Buckshot06 (talk) 20:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Your upload at the Ikhwan Revolt article
I saw your excellent picture upload at the Arabic version of the "Ikhwan Revolt" article (of Faisal al-Dawish), though i was for some reason unable to use this pic in the English version, could you fix it? Shuqra'an KbirGreyshark09 (talk) 18:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Thousand and one nights
It seems that I am forbidden to touch the page! fine.. can you make it clear that the "Kitab" means book? (Kitāb alf laylah wa-laylah) means "book of One Thousand and One Nights".. one last thing i reall don't want to engage in controversy (and my english doesn't help me!) therefore, please be flexible.. my request is very simple, Thanks in advance --Σύμμαχος (talk) 06:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course "Kitab" means "book" - people who perhaps know no other word of Arabic tend to be aware of that one, I think. Not a matter of being "flexible". The point is that in this case (as in some others) the word "book" is part of the title - or at least we have been treating it as such. Of course you are allowed to change any article - but every now and then you may be asked to justify your changes - as I have said in two edit summaries - do this on the talk page of the article (top left hand corner, next to the "article" tab). As you will notice, the titles used in the first line of the article have been subject to endless controversy - which is why, having acheived a measure of stability on this point, you will need to convince others that the word "Book" does not form a regular part of the title in Arabic. You may very well be right - just that we need to get confirmation (perhaps the title page of a couple of Arabic editions that do not include the word "Kitab", but present the title without it??)--Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:03, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * see this.. There are many examples if you want or search in Google in Arabic (ألف ليلة وليلة) --Σύμμαχος (talk) 12:23, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Not surprising, surely? Even if the word "Kitab" were a part of the usual title? That's all you're querying, isn't it? I am copying this to the talk page for the article - where, as I keep saying - this belongs. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 03:19, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
