Palmyra
Hello, a user moved the page of Palmyra to a new page called Ancient Palmyra, and made Palmyra a disambiguation page. He didn't discuss it. I tried to revert but its not working (I dont know what Im doing), he didnt bother to move the old redirects and now, whenever Palmyra is linked in any article of Wikipedia, the link will take the reader to the disambiguation page.! Much like Antioch (which have that name while the modern city is Antakya), Palmyra is what most people look for, they are not looking for Palmyra in Illinois ! nor are they looking for the modern city which is named Tadmur in Wkipedia. Is there a way to revert this ? Thanks.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 02:19, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * @Attar-Aram syria I was actually right about to move it back. --Al Ameer (talk) 02:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Many thanks.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 02:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Im sorry for nagging, but Palmyra talk page remained with Ancient Palmyra.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 02:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry I missed that. Usually talk pages are automatically moved when the main article is moved. --Al Ameer (talk) 02:59, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism on Arab Christians
Hello, can I get your help in this page Antiochian Greeks. I t was abducted by people claiming that all the non Syriac Christians in the levant are ethnic Greeks (which mean most of Syria and Palestine Christians are Greeks). I cleaned it and sourced it, but they keep coming with IP's and restoring the crap and deleting the sourced materials. Im tired.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 20:00, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed this article earlier when edits were made to describe the inhabitants of some Syrian Christian cities as "Antiochian Greeks" which struck me as strange as I have never come across the term while editing dozens of articles about Arab Christians. From the outset and the title alone, this article looks like a lot of original research and wishful thinking. I will take a deeper look at it and the sources it's based on before taking any action. If the article is just plain fantastical then it should probably be nominated for deletion and merged into more relevant articles: Greeks in Syria, Arab Christians, Christianity in Syria, Christianity in Lebanon, etc.. If, however, there is actually a people known as "Antiochian Greeks" who are ethnic Greeks from the Antioch area and their descendants, then the article should be limited to that, without including the Arab Christians of the Levant who belong to the Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches. And of course, if the article's editors are persistently disruptive nationalists(?), then most likely there will be some blocking of accounts and page lock downs. Just looking at the talk page where editors claim that "This is OUR PAGE" gives me a feeling that this might be the case. --Al Ameer (talk) 04:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, this article is claiming that all the Orthdox in the region are Greeks, and by Antiochian Greeks, it mean all the church followers. I will ask for it to be removed into "Antiochian Greeks Christians", which reflect the truth. The current version is the one that had its lead written by me and sourced by me. Their version is this, counting on a work by Pavlos Karolidis written in 1909, he mainly wrote it cause Russia was convincing them they are Aramaic so that they take its side as an orthodox power.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 04:32, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I too was mulling that at the very least the article should be renamed to Antiochian Greek Christians, which makes more sense and doesn't suggest that the Christians of the Levant are actually Greeks (except for those who are of course). I'll take a better look tomorrow and a solution could be discussed at the talk page. --Al Ameer (talk) 04:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the star. I'm an Iraqi citizen, so I dedicated all the articles that I write for Iraq. I'm also glad to see that there is someone who still has the spirit of the Arab nationalism like you. I would really hope if you help us, the Iraqis, to upgrade our articles in Wikipedia to prove to the world that we, the Arabs, have the capability of making our countries, intellectually, the best of the world.

Al-Ghariyah al-Gharbiyah, Daraa province, Syria
Hi. You previously did some cleanup of Al-Ghariyah al-Gharbiyah and I have done more. The content was originally copied and translated (poorly) from the article in Arabic. If you read Arabic, or know an editor who does, could you please check the English article in case I have made mistakes. I have added some specific notes to Talk:Al-Ghariyah al-Gharbiyah. thanks. Nurg (talk) 03:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Nurg, thanks for your efforts. That article was a mess. Unfortunately, I can't read/write Arabic so I won't be of any help in the translation department. However, I'll take a good look at the article tomorrow and see if I could copyedit and/or expand it a bit. --Al Ameer (talk) 04:03, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Ayyubid dynasty
Thank you for the compliment on Ayyubid dynasty citation cleanup. Now I hope you can carry the torch and keep up the clean/consistent citations into the future. There are a handful more that were referenced that I didn't touch because I wasn't too sure how to handle them. That was my first time doing Harvard-style citations. 216.164.152.40 (talk) 03:38, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
