Elias Vandalizing "Ancient Arabia"
Although I tried to be nice to him and explain to him how Arabia is a geographic term more than a race. I showed him how historians confirm thta the Akkadians lived in Arabia. Yet he insists on vandalizing the article because he thinks the Akkadians are not Arabs in the modern since! He used a sockpuppet (dbachmann) he used him in his edit wars in the Aramean article and other Assyrian related articles. Can you please protect the article? or try to talk some sense into him, because he is ignoring my attempts to reason with him.--Skatewalk 12:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguating UAE emirates and capitals
At several of the talk pages for the individual Emirates of the UAE, queries or proposals have been put forth for having separate articles for the emirates and their eponymous capitals (e.g. here and here. As of now, two of the emirates have been disambiguated from their capitals: Abu Dhabi (emirate) / Abu Dhabi and Ajmān / Ajmān (city).  If you are interested in discussing a comprehensive approach to the issue, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Western Asia. —   AjaxSmack   19:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes but this is obvious this is not vandalism; but this is a content dispute, you should try comprising with him instead of trying to get him blocked. --Vonones 22:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to edit the article if you disagree please note it on the talkpage I will add references of scholars/historians for both parties hopefully. --Vonones 22:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Dhruma + Maps
Hello Ammar. Can I move "Dhurma" back to "Dhruma"? Because nobody pronounces it "Dhurma" :).

Regarding the maps I showed you, aren't they in the public domain because they were generated by the British Naval Intelligence? Also, what license should I use if I want to upload them, and are they eligible for Commons? Thanks. -- Slacker 01:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * 9aba7 el ward, but it's evening where I am right now ;) "Dhruma" is not technically correct either in Fus7a; the Fus7a way of writing it is "Dharma" or "Dharama". Maybe I can look at some English-languages sources that mention the town and try to find the most common spelling and use that? -- Slacker 01:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok man, you are the expert here :) i thought you wrote Dhruma by mistake Ammar  (Talk - Don't Talk) 01:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

A reduced entry on Ancient Arabia
Can you please evaluate before I start editing on this subject?

The Akkadians and Amorites in Ancient Arabia
The earliest known events in Arabian history are migrations from the peninsula into neighbouring areas. Around 3500 BC, Semitic-speaking peoples of Akkadian origin migrated from their homeland in the Arabian peninsula into the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia, supplanted the Sumerians, and became the Mesopotamian Akkadians (see Akkadians). The Ammuru/Amorites is another group of Semites left Arabia around 2500 BC during the Early Bronze Age and settled along the Levant, mixing in with the local populations there. Some of these migrants became the Amorites and Canaanites of later times "According to this, Arabia was originally a land of great fertility and the first home of the Semitic peoples. Through the millennia it has been undergoing a process of steady desiccation, a drying up of wealth and waterways and a spread of the desert at the expense of the cultivable land. The declining productivity of the peninsula, together with the increase in the number of the inhabitants, led to a series of crises of overpopulation and consequently to a recurring cycle of invasions of the neighbouring countries by the Semitic peoples of the peninsula. It was these crises that carried the Assyrians, Aramaeans, Canaanites (including the Phoenicians and Hebrews), and finally the Arabs themselves into the Fertile Crescent."
 * Bernard Lewis mentions in his book The Arabs in History:

Map
Remember the map for the Egyptian campaign in Najd? What happened to it? Did it get deleted? -- Slacker (talk) 13:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I was thinking of fixing it because it has some mistakes (it confuses the locations of Riyadh and Diriyyah, for example).  It could be useful for the Ottoman-Saudi War article too. -- 16:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slackerlawstudent (talk • contribs)

By the way, where did you get the map? Was it from Al-Mokatel? And what license did you use? Thanks. -- Slacker (talk) 17:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Saudi Arabia Project Template
Hi! I think there is a problem with one of the Saudi templates. I think you can help me because you have the template barnstar. The problem: One of them adds the talk pages of articles to Category:Saudi Arabia stubs. This is a problem because some articles are in that category twice. It is also a problem because sometimes only the talk page is in the category. I can't find which template is causing this. Can you help me find the template and the template's page? Aelfthrytha (talk) 07:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weird. It is fixed now - none of them are in the category. I did mention it to someone else, so perhaps he fixed it. Thanks anyway! Aelfthrytha (talk) 17:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
