Manners
Salam 3alaykum. I apologize that I am not replying in arabic because my current computer does not support arabic text. Simply, show some manners. Yes, I am Kuwaiti, and proud of it. I am also half Japanese, as is written on my profile, not filipini. If you dont like the way I look, too bad. I removed your post from my discussion board because you disgrace our country, which is know for our hospitality, by writing such insulting words. I am more than willing to help you contribute to Wikipedia, both in english and in arabic, but I will no allow you to insult me like you did. Assalam 3alaykum -Zer0fighta (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No worries. I still have no way of writing arabic on my computer, so bare with me.  I first thought you were just trying to annoy me for no reason, bes ba3den I saw your contributions, and you've made some good changes on Wikipedia.  Keep up the good work and I'll be happy to help if you need any.  Salam 3alaykum. -Zer0fighta (talk) 00:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

"Gulph of Bassora" in Herman Moll's map
Salam ! In the article Persian Gulf naming dispute, you add the Herman Moll's map with the name of "Gulph of Bassora" for the Persian Gulf. I think this map does not help the dispute since the cartographer has used both names in maps. In his map for Encyclopedia Britannica, he used "Sinus Persicus" : here. By definition using one of his maps and neglecting the other one is considered as Undue weight and should not be done.Shokran .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 20:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Adding a relevant image to the article of Persian Gulf is allowed, but in naming dispute page , at least it could be mentioned in the caption that this cartographer used the both side's name . --Alborz Fallah (talk) 22:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

About the word "Persian"
سلام ! Thank you for your contact in my talk page. You write that "may you read this to know that Persian is a language not origin that what I tried to say it many times to you without benefit". Persian, as disambiguation page shows , is a collective name that includes an especial culture and history. The least important thing that this word shows, is an ethnicity. By the term origin, if you mean a race , you are right and the word "Persian" does not shows any genetic figure , but if you mean Persian only means talking in a language , that does not seems tobe the mainstream belief among the seculars. In brief ,in history ,the term Persian means Iranian (Greater Iran), and not only "Persian speaking". --Alborz Fallah (talk) 21:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī
Just continue the discussion on the talk page and don't let it erupt into an edit war. That is all the help I can give, as I know nothing about the subject. Graham 87 23:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is true. Graham 87 23:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Persian ethnicity
I thank you for your edit here. We are currently discussing this issue on my talk page, can you please join? -- Enzuru 03:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Your edit to Arabian Sea
Is there a reason you deleted the unreferenced tag from the Arabian Sea article without adding any citations? --Kralizec! (talk) 15:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Removing maintenance tags without actually fixing the problem is considered to be poor form. As such I have reverted your deletions to both this article and Ormus.  --Kralizec! (talk) 18:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

ANI notice
Hello,. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 67.194.202.113 (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

thanks..--Bayrak (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Bayrak, hi, I took a look at the diffs from the ANI thread. To make things easier in the future, I would like you to please try to do some things differently. For example, when you remove a tag that is requesting a citation, you should replace it with a citation.  If you do not have a citation, do not remove the tag.  :) Also, if there are reverts going on, please discuss things at the talkpage.  If editors are not agreeing, there are other steps in Dispute resolution that can be tried.  Does this make sense?  If you have any questions, please let me know, --Elonka 21:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand. :)  And I know that it can be difficult to work on the English Wikipedia, if Wikipedia is not your first language!  The main thing that can help you, is to always add sources when you add information to articles.  Do not add information from personal knowledge -- instead, only add information if it has been published in a book or a good newspaper.  When you add the information, say also where you found the information. English sources are best for the English Wikipedia, but other sources can be used sometimes.  What languages do you speak?  Do you have an account on the Arabic Wikipedia too? --Elonka 22:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As per your comment on my usertalk page, I would agree that what Elonka said is good advice. I would add that if you are having trouble with the language, understand that sometimes your interactions with folk are going to take a lot longer and require a lot more patience on your part. Try to be patient with others, who might be having as much trouble understanding you, as you are having understanding them. I know other editors who edit here, and English is not their primary language. What they tend to do is to use the article discussion a lot more as soon as an edit of theirs is reverted. Their posts there tend to be short, but well thought out. Take your time, and don't hurry. Rome was not built in a day. Good luck. :) - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  18:19, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Arabic
Hi Bayrak. :) Could you please add some babelboxes to your userpage?  For example, you could add:
 * user ar
 * user en-2

To see other available languages, look at the list at Babel/List. Also, maybe you could link to your userpage at the Arabic Wikipedia? Just add ar:User: to your English userpage, and it will link them together. :) If this is confusing, just give me a link to your Arabic Wikipedia userpage, and I will show you how to link! --Elonka 19:38, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Aww, I think you should participate at the Arabic Wikipedia! It would definitely be easier for you, too.  :)  Oh, and I fixed the Kuwait userbox for you, try again: User Kuwait. --Elonka 20:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

thank you very much for the template.. i was disappointment when I didnt i found it thank you again Bayrak (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Copt
Bayrak, hi, I do not understand why you removed this information from the Copt article. In the future, please do not remove things from articles if they have a source citation. If you think the source citation is bad, please first explain things at the talkpage of the article: Talk:Copt. If no one disagrees with you, then you can remove the information. But if people disagree, please just talk at the talkpage, and do not edit the article until the editors at the talkpage agree. Thanks, --Elonka 09:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Final warning
You have reverted the Khwārizmī article about 20+ times in the past few weeks. A large part of your contributions seem to consist of either reverts or controversial edits without discussion. Wikipedia works based on consensus, please stop reverting these articles without discussing them. This is definitely not productive. Since you have been warned above regarding your behavior, I am going to have to give you a final warning. If you continue to edit disruptively, you will be blocked. Please use the relevant talk pages instead of constantly reverting, thanks. Khoikhoi 23:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
