East/west
Hi, in Template:Did you know nominations/Qarqur you say that Qarqur is "on the east bank of the Orontes". The article twice says it is "on the western bank of the Orontes", but also says that it's "east of ... Tell Qarqur, which is on the eastern bank of the Orontes". M AN d ARAX •  XAЯA b ИA M  23:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for cathching that mistake, both in the article and in the DYK nomination. Both places are on the eastern bank of the Orontes actually. The modern Qarqur is just one kilometer west of the ancient site. I made the correction. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:01, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing it so quickly. I changed the second "western" which I think you missed. Please check to make sure I did that right. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  00:19, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You did it right, but actually I might remove that additional reference to the Orontes River, since it's no longer necessary for clarification. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:34, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
I've noticed some of your coordinates are slightly off. i recommend using flash earth to centre on the settlement and retrieve the exact coordinates on the left.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  23:41, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it ;) I might have made some coordinate mistakes on my own tuition, as opposed to being misled by the tool I currently use. However, if Flash is more precise as you say, I'll start using it instead. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Amigo, can you add the Arabic name to Ten Hamadi and see if you can find anything further in Arabic, ideally something more on religion and local customs of the tribes which are mentioned, can you have a look in Arabic to try to pick up something further?. Its currently a GA nom, I'd greatly appreciate it.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  12:59, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Akward... I can't actually read or write in Arabic. Very elementary skills in the Arabic script. I could only speak and understand Arabic well, particularly Levantine Arabic. I will find someone to add the Arabic script, but I'm afraid I won't be able to research anything about Ten Hamadi in Arabic sources. Sorry mate, --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:02, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Really? Wow you do surprise me. I thought you were fluent. I suppose it's like people assuming I'm fluent in Welsh! Do you know an editor who might help and speaks Arabic who is active on here?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  12:54, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep I certainly have to learn it one day. I asked Yazan and Nableezy] for the Arabic scripts, but I think Yazan is on a wiki-break and I'm still awaiting Nableezy's reply. I'm not sure if either would be able to research any Arabic sources unless maybe you have some yourself. There's another Arabic-speaking editor who specializes in Maghrebi topics, but I forgot his user name, will notify you when I find it. You should also try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Arab world for any help. --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Khawabi
My guess is that it's at these coordinates: 34.972867,36.00194 I didn't know the castle (there are a lot of obscure castles in western Syria and I don't know that area that well), but I put Khawabi in Google Maps and then switched on the photos layer and looked at any in the immediate area until I found one of the castle. And the layout of the village/castle looks like it's built on a ridge, which matches with many other castles in the area. I will add it to the List of castles as well. Oh, and just a general suggestion; I would make separate articles for the village and the castle, that usually works better (i.e. keep the second paragraph of the introduction with the information on the village as the contents of the page Khawabi and move everything about the castle to Qala'at al-Khawabi; there is enough information on the castle to warrant its own page). Happy editing!--Zoeperkoe (talk) 19:17, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll use your coordinates, but I'm still surprised the place is not labeled on google maps. As for creating separate articles, I would normally agree, but in the case of Khawabi, one of the notable characteristics is that the fortress itself has been continuously inhabited since the 12th-century so in essence the castle is the village, although there is further housing in the vicinity outside of its walls. The Syrian government actually refers to the village as "Qala'at Khawabi" instead of "Khawabi" which is more associated with the surrounding region. Perhaps the article should be moved to "Qala'at Khawabi"? --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Wadi Al 'Uyun
Hi Ameer: Some information about Wadi Al 'Uyun be wrong
 * Please note that the English name is Wadi Al 'Uyun
 * The city's population Muslims not Christians (Ref. who rely on it wrong)
 * There is a town called Uyun Al wadi different from the city of Wadi Al 'Uyun
 * I added references possible .. Hama Governorate - Maps
 * "وادي العيون" not a famous city .. So will be some information without references

I hope that you will allow modifications .. I have made ​​a great effort in collecting and typeset — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxim Mansour (talk • contribs) 05:01, 6 February 2013 (UTC) --- Hi Ameer ..Thank you for your cooperation

Notes:
 * I use (Google Maps) to measure distances between Wadi Al 'Uyun and other cities.
 * Searched for "Blood Rock" I can not find a reference. And continued with the old men in the Wadi Al 'Uyun no one knows.
 * Some of the information (plants - animals - topography - etc.) Personal previews. Can I add without references??
 * Can I use references in Arabic??

Districts of Damascus
If you have time, could you take a look at what i did to Districts of Damascus? I am second guessing myself... Tradedia talk 23:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Tradedia, actually the article should be moved back and perhaps renamed to "Neighborhoods of Damascus" instead of "Districts." Also, the term "district" in this case refers to the Arabic word hayy which could be translated interchangeably as "neighborhood" or "city district" as compared to mantiqah which refers to the administrative districts of a governorate. Other than that, the article needs some sourcing, organization and the red links need to be fixed. It has potential for expansion and could be a useful list. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:48, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Al Ameer son. Do you know if Damascus is indeed divided into sixteen “districts”, and that they are the ones listed in the article? I could not find any source about this on the web. The article says: “Those districts, in turn, are divided into 98 neighborhoods.” The Damascus city population 2004 census lists 101 hayy (الحي). So maybe this is what the article is calling the 98 “neighborhoods”? Category:Neighborhoods of Damascus lists 22 “neighborhoods”. My guess is that these are more like the “districts” in the article. But the article lists 16 of them, so the Category:Neighborhoods of Damascus might be adding “neighborhoods” to the 16 “districts” (assuming there are indeed 16 districts). For example, Category:Neighborhoods of Damascus lists Al-Shaghour as one of the “neighborhoods”. It is also listed as one of the 16 “districts” in the article. On the other hand, Category:Neighborhoods of Damascus lists Tadamon as one of the “neighborhoods”. However, it is not listed as a “district” in the article, because it is part of the Al-Shaghour “district” (this can be seen from the map in the article). So it looks like the Category:Neighborhoods of Damascus might be mixing apples and oranges…  Tradedia talk 00:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't know for sure if the city is divided into 16 districts and was also unable to find anything in a quick search. There could be something in Arabic-language sources and our fellow editor Zozo2kx might be able to help. He's currently on a wiki-break though. I understand the confusion and I think the best move for now would be to move the article to Neighborhoods of Damascus. What do you think? --Al Ameer son (talk) 07:01, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for suggesting Zozo2kx; I will post a message on his talk page and see what he has to say after he comes back from his wiki-break. In the meantime, I think I will just revert what I did to the article. I am not sure about the name Neighborhoods of Damascus, because I don’t think the 16 districts are hayy, but rather something bigger (the article mentions “municipality (Arabic: Baladiyah بلدية).” I found the following article in arabic in a further web search that has the following title: محافظ دمشق يصدر قرارا بإعفاء رئيس بلدية دمشق القديمة (Damascus governor issues order to unseat the old-Damascus municipality chief); so they are talking about “old-Damascus municipality”. So maybe there are 16 districts/municipalities/baladiyah, and these are further divided into 98 neighborhoods/hayy… Tradedia talk 00:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ameer, forgive me for the unannounced wiki-break. Damascus actually is one district (mantiqa) that is divided into two cities (Damascus and Yarmouk). Yarmouk is one whole municipality, while Damascus is divided into the 15 other municipalities. I think municipality would be a more accurate word to use (e.g. Barzeh Municipality). As far as I can tell, and from googling in Arabic, that map and the municipality list check out. Hope this helps. Yazan (talk) 06:49, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you both! I will change "district" to "municipality" Tradedia talk 17:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Khawabi
Not True, Old sources like the ottoman sources state the number of 'nusayris' (i.e. alawites) as having 3 times the population in 'hevabi' (khawabi) compared to the sunni population. While it is understandable that ismailis have been gradually removed, I dont see any emigration of the alawites out of the region, your sources fail to provide an explanation about the alawite population and where they went. Regardless, if you think that Khawabi is predominantly sunni then put your sources in the article instead of messaging it to me, so those reading the Khawabi article in the future will be able to access the source to verify the village's demography as predominantly sunni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.222.16 (talk) 04:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Hello. I am not replacing Hejaz with Tihamah in all articles. I am just replacing the reference to Hejaz when talking about Mecca. Mecca is mistakenly thought to be in Hejaz but that is not true. It lies within the Tihamah region. This mistake resulted from the name of the kingdom of Hejaz in last century. For centuries before that, Muslim and Arab scholars defined Mecca as being a Tihamic city whereas Medina is a Hejazic city. Thanks. --LePatro (talk) 07:15, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

In fact, the term Tihamah originaly includes Mecca and Jeddah and in Arabic: Tihamah is one of the names of Mecca. Hejaz on the other hand includes Medina and Taif. Prophet Mohammed of Islam is originally from Mecca and he described himself in one of his Hadiths as a man from Tihamah. I am trying to correct the matter here using the old books of the Arab scholars. --LePatro (talk) 07:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
