Western Sahara
Hi, here is a vote related to Western Sahara, it's about the neutrality of wikipedia in this conflict, are you interested? Daryou 18:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Translation request
Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks for contacting me. I do have a look on Palestinian related articles every now and then. Un fortunately, they are all biased and written from a single point of view denying any history of today's Palestinians to their homeland or any one who inhabited it before. See for example the Palestinian people article. I would love to contribute to your project, however given the number of editors who vandal anything related to Palestine on Wikipedia, something needs to be done about it. Else, Wikipedia is a misleading site about the history of Palestine and the Palestinians. Almaqdisi talk to me 04:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Al Zaghab
Our discussion at Articles for deletion/Al Zaghab could use some help from experts. --Kevin Murray 22:13, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

thank you for formatting michel suleyman article
I had many info to share here, but no a wikipedia wise, my many contributions must to be reviewed for adding here.

Gratitude
Thankyou so much Fjmustak  for your brilliant translation effort!

I am very very Grateful.

May you prosper!

(In the future, if you ever need any articles to be translated into the Chinese language, then I would be glad to help you).

The article has been created Here. --Jose77 04:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Palestinian conservatory
Thank you for pointing that out. I will alert Tiamut to this fact, as I wrote this for her to include as she saw fit in the article on Palestinian Music. --Ravpapa 05:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
For your note on the Atallah Hanna article. I would like to hear more about why you think "Archbishop" is not good to include in the title. I just followed Wiki guidelines on naming for religious figures.  T i a m u t  20:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey there. I see your point. But I took the idea for the naming of the article from this page . I don't know if we should change it now considering that this is a standing guideline and Atallah Hanna already redirects to the page. Let me know what you think after reading this.  T i a m u t  16:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Volunteering
Hello Fjmustak! Some WP ARAB members and I decided to start a page to request Arabic scripts for articles. You've been a great help in this field and we would be delighted if you volunteered. If you decide to, list your name at the "Volunteers" section of the page. Cheers!

Letter G
Thanks, can we add something about that letter gaf (ﯕ or گ) in the article Arabic alphabet, where it doesn't appear at all? Badagnani (talk) 07:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I really think the Arabic alphabet article should include all the additional modified letters such as Ng (Arabic); right now they're not there. Badagnani (talk) 08:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Mahmoud Guinia
Thanks, would you check my change at Mahmoud Guinia? I added the 3-dots version of gaf in the first spelling, but it draws no Google hits, like the kaf version does. Is it okay the way I listed two spellings? Badagnani (talk) 07:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Wind instruments
Thanks for salamiya information. Now I need info on a type of mizmar/zamr from Sharqia called something like shalabiya. My guess is that it's some kind of folk name that is etymologically related to salamiya the way the ciaramella and ciaramedda are related in Southern Italy. Do you have any idea about this? And do you have a very good Arabic dictionary that gives etymologies? Because I'd very much like to know the etymologies of the words kawala and salamiya. Badagnani (talk) 08:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Kawala
Hi, can you check Kawala now? Isn't the spelling you gave me for the drink cola? Badagnani (talk) 17:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, I removed it -- is it okay now? Badagnani (talk) 22:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

My humblest apologies
Sorry indeed. The page has been attacked and blanked in the past for no reason, and when I saw 'blanked' I overreacted. Apologies, and thanks for the Arabic edit. Regards Nishidani (talk) 10:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Favor for Ynhockey
Greetings Fjmustak! I was hoping you would be able write out in Arabic the text on page 16 (PDF page 45) of this document? It's for the article Beit Jala reprisal raid. --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Transportation law
A tag has been placed on Transportation law requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. – moonty (talk) (contribs) 09:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Damn you're fast! I just started the article and was going to ask you for the Arabic script, but then I saw you already added it. Keep up the good work brother! --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind words! Actually, you and Zozo2kx have taken care of most of the articles I've had the pleasure of starting, and all I could think of is the Abdeen Mosque stub, and that led me to al-Khanqah al-Salahiyya Mosque as well. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:SheikRadwanLocation.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:SheikRadwanLocation.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the plot
Thanks for the plot. The problem is that Gaza has seen substantial growth in the last 60 years. An Nazlah may have started life off just west of Jabalia (according to mapping used in the 40s) but the centre has migrated with expansion....same with Sheik Radwan, what was sand dunes with the area name of Radwan has expanded east and as the population increased the name associated with the area has moved with the population more eastwards...The texans seem to be using 1948 naming while ignoring today's date and the increase in populations that cause towns to migrate....Ashley kennedy3 (talk) 09:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Bani Zeid al-Sharqiya
Marhaba Fjmustak! I started the article (and will hopefully expand it more), but could you provide the Arabic script, the current mayor, the date the villages merged, and the date Abwein left. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:37, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Gaza template
Please give your input at the WP Palestine talk page. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Arabic script
Marhaba Fjmustak! Could you add the Arabic script to al-Tuffah. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Adminship
Thanks for the support brother! I won't let it get in the way of the WP Palestine work. We got much to do. I think will create a sample for the Gaza template, and see what everyone thinks. By the way, we all should start updating the populations of Palestinian localities in the West Bank with the 2007 PCBS statistics you provided. I'll start on the Hebron and Bethlehem govrnts. Regards, --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Arabic script
Could we get it for Wehda Street. By the way, great job with the template man. --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Are we clear on the Sheikh Radwan coords? We really should add them-also need them for Zeitoun, Gaza and Tel al-Hawa. --Al Ameer son (talk) 19:27, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Do you know how to add the coords or is it just Ashley? Also, do you know the coords of the other two districts I mentioned. --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Thanks brother. --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:WP Israel/WP Palestine Overlapping
Hi Fjmustak. Here's the discussion. No, we do not have a central repository of guidelines, if fact, I don't believe there are any real guidelines, but we agreed that Bethlehem, Gaza, Nablus, etc. = WP Palestine only, Tel Aviv, Ashdod, Haifa = WP Israel only, Acre, Ramla, Jerusalem, Hebron = Both projects. There are articles on Jaffa, History of Haifa, Isdud to add WP Palestine tags to replace the missing ones on Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod. Similarly, Hamas under WP P and Kadima, Yisrael Beitenu under WP I. Articles on people should be discussed on a case by case basis. I for one, believe that if Yasser Arafat is tagged for WP Israel, then Ariel Sharon or Yitzhak Rabin should be tagged for WP Palestine, but I haven't discussed this yet. Maybe later... --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Jifna village council website
Marhaba Fjmustak! Since you know how to find all these municipal websites, I was hoping you could track down the village council webpage of Jifna. There is this one, but I don't think it's official. I found an official one a while back, here, but it's a dead link now. It gave me info on the mayor and municipal council, history of local government in the village, and info on the school there. The reason behind my request is that I want to nominate Jifna for Featured article status and all dead links must be replaced. --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:56, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Fjmustak you are a life saver. The archives are exactly what I needed. Also, thanks for the clarification on the Jifna Hope Association. I'm going to use the Tabash Restaurant source as well, apparently there are two famous restaurants in the tiny village: Al-Burj and Tabash. --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The JMCC source says the restaurant itself is the old city of Jifna. If it has closed because of the Intifada, please give a source because that seems to be important info. Other than that, I can't think of any other sources I would need for the article. On a separate note, could you please add the Arabic to al-Ramadien? Many thanks, you have been a great help brother. I will nominate Jifna by the end of the week. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

svg editor
I use Inkscape, it is free and relatively easy to use. But I was just using it to modify current files, haven't done anything with adding things to the files like new boundaries. I will work on it, but work is picking up and got a trip to Egypt coming up as well, so don't know how much time I'll have. Nableezy (talk) 02:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well done, impressive how fast you got that done. I just used your map in the current template, think you could ask for the new one to be deleted, this way we dont have to go through all the articles just to change the map. In fact I would have just uploaded these files as updates to the old ones, but that doesn't matter too much. The map works great, you can see it in an article mandate map and territories. Thank you very much for that, I probably would never have gotten around to it. Shukran jiddan, wa masalama Nableezy (talk) 01:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to purge the cache, ctrl-shift-r should work with firefox, not sure what browser you are using. I see the new maps fine, so they are working, check this Nableezy (talk) 02:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Location map Mandatory Palestine districts
A tag has been placed on Template:Location map Mandatory Palestine districts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude>).

Thanks. Nableezy (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Ayyubid map
Marhaba Fjmustak! I took a quick look at the site you pointed out to at as-Salih Ismail and I have to say it was like a dream come true. We need to replace the map we have now at the Ayyubid dynasty article which doesn't include Palestine, Libya, or the Nubian coast with one similar to the map at that website. Do you know how we would be able to undertake this? --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much brother. I've been working on the Ayyubids lately and want to eventually get that article to GA status, although this one could be quite an adventure. It's great to work with you again. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Having the Crusader states might be important, but so is the remnant Zengid kingdom and the Abbasid Caliphate. If we're going to keep the kingdoms, we should make the Ayyubid state one color instead of Egypt being yellow and the rest of the empire orange. Also, is there a way we could tighten the black borders with the main shading to make sure everything is solid? Lastly, what are those two hot pink enclaves in the northern Syria-Jazira region? --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We could do two things: First, we could just remove the Seljuks, Danishmends, and Byzantines. Second choice could be keeping all of those kingdoms, plus the Almohads and others you see fit and having them all under one color like gray for instance, while the entire Ayyubid Empire is another color, preferably something bright like red, orange, or yellow. Honestly, I prefer the second choice. Also, there's obviously no reason to keep the Fatimids and I don't think the Isma'ili areas should included either; rather we just merge them into the Ayyubid dynasty. Cities would definitely be a good idea. --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fjmustak, you have my deepest apologies. I read your message a while back but I got caught up with some other things on Wikipedia and I really haven't been too active in the past weeks because of final exams. Anyway, the map looks good, but the the title "Ayyubids" in the legend needs to fitted within the box and the "Atabeg" needs to be renamed "Zengids". Also, I was thinking about creating a second map just depicting they Ayyubid empire and the dates of acquisitions, similar to the Ottoman map. I'll give you more details about the second map when I sort them out. Thanks so much for all your help brother. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 08:42, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Jifna FA nomination
Marhaba Fjmustak! I have finally nominated Jifna for Featured article. There have been some initial obstacles however. I was hoping that you could help out with one of the problems - dead links for Palestinian-run sites. The one in particular is the excerpt on Jifna, Bani Zeid, and other localities by the Palestinian Association for Cultural Exchange (PACE). Here is the original link (http://www.pace.ps/publications/site.html) Do you have access to an archive of that page-that's all that's needed. Salaamat akhi! --Al Ameer son (talk) 22:52, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Shukran! You're a life saver. WP Palestine has missed you greatly... hopefully you will return to full activeness soon ;) Oh and I've created some new articles recently that need Arabic scripts if you have time to add them. The articles are: Fahmi al-Husseini, As'ad Pasha al-Azm, Sulayman Pasha al-Azm, Dayfa Khatun, and Osama Hamdan. Salaamat. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Nablus Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Nablus Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:53, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

WP Palestine Updates
Unfortunately, Jifna was not promoted mostly due to unreliable sourcing, which I think is bogus (apparently the article needs more book sources). I guess FA reviews have gotten much stricter these days. Oh well I will try again some other time. Also, I have nominated Izzat Darwaza for Good article status and I haven't forgot about the Ayyubids. I got side-tracked, but will work on them as soon as I get some more work done on various Palestine-related articles. Sorry about not working on Al Fateh; don't know the subject too well, however, you bring up some good points and hopefully I will work on the article a bit at a time. I hope you're doing well and look forward to see your edits in the near future ;) Ma'asallama akhi. --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:40, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Nabi Yahya Mosque
 * Mahmoudiya Mosque
 * Muhammad Abu-Nabbut

By the way, I added your map to the Ayyubid dynasty article and have made a couple of maps myself. I'm planning on nominating the article for GA status very soon, after I add some extra info. And, Izzat Darwaza is now a Good article. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. Yes that makes sense... I was wondering why the "Ayyubids" title was slightly out of the legend box. --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:55, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

New list:
 * Al-Afdal Muhammad
 * Rashidun al-Suri
 * al-Muzaffar Umar
 * Sabil Abu Nabbut

And I listed the Ayyubid dynasty for Good article nominations. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for that and for adding the Arabic scripts so quickly! Also, Diaa abdelmoneim, Nableezy, and I have planned to collaborate to get Gamal Abdel Nasser to Good, and hopefully Featured status (we're supposed to start work next Monday). I know that you're busy, but whenever you have the time it would be great if you could participate in this project as well. Salaamat brother. --Al Ameer son (talk) 22:54, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your recognition and the project award akhi. Actually, I didn't even know who al-Hout was until seeing the breaking news at Ma'an and the subsequent obituary. After doing some recent reading up on him, I realize he was one of the most important figures in PLO history. It's been a sad week for the PLO with his death and that of Samir Ghawshah... Anyway, I also want to thank you for providing all of those Arabic scripts; I was going to ask you for them, but was delighted to see that it wasn't necessary.

 * Ramadan mubarak Fjmustak. I wondered if you might be able to help with a request for translation I just got. Here's the message and the text is linked. Its short and sweet. Hi! I see, you're a Palestine, I love them. So you speak Arabic. I would like to request something from you. I'm a Hungarian wiki editor, my name is Norbert. It's a little bit out of wikipedia, it's a translation request. Soem years ago I wrote a (really) short story of a lonely man, who symbolizes the Saami nation, but actually, all the minority nations. We started to translate it into several languages. I love the arabioc, but we don't have this translation yet. Could you make me that. You could see the English or other versions here, and you can put the arabic version also here. Thank you! hu:User:Eino81 —Preceding undated comment added 11:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC).

 * I'll see what I can find on the neighborhood of Al-Manshiyya in Jaffa. (About the disambig, I'm glad you liked it. We need so many of those, given that so many names in Arabic are used for multiple places.) If I do find enough to start an article, I'll let you know.

request
Marhaba Fjmustak, I have request for you that may be a bit difficult, and if you dont have the time dont worry about it. I am looking for the Arabic of a particular hadith from Bukhari (it is the writing at the top of the main gate to al-Azhar mosque, the topic of an article I am working on). The hadith is Volume 3, Book 46, Number 706, the English can be seen here. The image of the door, if that helps, is here. And if at all possible if you could also make out the Arabic in the panels above the arches of the doors between the images of palm trees and the center circle. Shukran,  nableezy  - 01:16, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have been searching as well and found the hadith here and also thought that it did not match. Thanks for the help and I will keep looking as well. Salam,  nableezy  - 04:52, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I cant read it nor can I find any source that says what it is except for the source that references that hadith and that seems wrong. Im still looking so if you can make it out it would be greatly appreciated, but if you cant and I cant it would not be a huge deal if the article did not include that. Thanks tho,  nableezy  - 20:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

This should be easier, could you make sure my Arabic is right for this: al-Qusur al-Zahira, 'the Brilliant Palaces'. I have القصور الزهيرة. That look right?  nableezy  - 16:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

correct meaning of arabic name?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Anthony_Appleyard#Quneitra_edit

Is AA's OR correct? A quick consultation with Hans Wehr suggests, in addition to "bridge", a possible alternative meaning "possess tremendous riches". Plus his vowel pattern doesn't quite fit either. Thanks for your help. --NSH001 (talk) 23:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:45, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The importance of previewing changes
Regarding this change, I realize that things like navboxes and templates can get a little tricky with all the embedded formatting within formatting and mistakes are easy to make. However the consequences can be great - in this case the navbox was essentially ruined for dozens of pages. Whenever working with templates that are used in many articles, it's always a good idea to preview your changes first. --Bachrach44 (talk) 17:29, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Minimum inhibitory concentration
Hello, Fjmustak. The students' work in this article has been reverted. A lot of it appears to be chunks copied verbatim or closely paraphrased from various copyright sources, e.g.,. There is also some direct copying/very close paraphrasing from this book. None of the students' additions were referenced to their source, which constitutes plagiarism as well as a copyright violation. Please ensure that the students fully understand our copyright policies. Copyright violations and Close paraphrasing are basic guides. Plagiarism covers the problem of failing to credit sources. But note, that even if the source is credited, it cannot be copied verbatim if it is copyrighted, as were all the examples I've pointed out above.

There are other problems as well, such as unencylopedic use of the second person, e.g. "The following paragraph informs you the procedure for broth dilution: You will need an Antibiotic Stock solution..." Encyclopedia articles are not meant to be instruction manuals. The students also need to take care that when expanding an existing article, they do not simply do a blanket overwrite. They need to integrate their work carefully and preferably gradually. The over-writing in this article resulted in the loss of valuable references and formatting.

Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 10:35, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Consider this as my own fault. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding because the article written on it said that it was established since 1924 while, on the logo, the arabic numeral said that it was established on 1934 or ١٩٣٤ Muhammad Azmi 00:42, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:03, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 <div style="font-size: 36px; margin-top: 24px;margin-left: 16px; font-family: 'Linux Libertine',Georgia,Times,serif; line-height: 1.2em;">Wikipedia Asian Month <div style="font-size: 24px; padding-top: 0px; margin-left: 16px; font-family: 'Linux Libertine',Georgia,Times,serif; line-height:1.2em; color: #666; "> Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Proposed deletion of Palestinian American Congress


The article Palestinian American Congress has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "NN organization, fails the GNG and WP:ORG. This is not an actual organization, but a Facebook group; its 'website' is a WordPress site where the only content is a single post in August 2017 stating 'Honest reporting and Working together for freedom, justice, equality and peace.' Other hits are to Wiki mirrors, Facebook, YouTube and other social media, save for namedrops and casual mentions at the best.  (Granted, searches are fouled somewhat by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American congresswoman.)  Notability tagged for over ten years."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Palestinian American Congress for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Palestinian American Congress is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
