Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 09:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Nomads and Crusaders
Interestingly, I was reading some of that book in the library today... However, your citation format was wrong. Use to end one. You'll have to find out for yourselve how to cite previous notes; I can't explain it. Furhtermore, I didn't read that section over very well, but it is probably not a good idea to just plop down one scholar's conclusions as if they were dogma. Srnec 01:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Articles on 'Islamic' inventions
Hello, I saw you were engaged at one time about the sense or nonsense of the article series which has been created in recent times. Now the issue is up again. Please see Articles_for_deletion/Timeline of modern Muslim scientists and engineers Gun Powder Ma (talk) 11:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Western culture
Hi. I looked at the material you removed, which as you state was inaccurate. This material is properly sourced and explained in the history section of Europe, particularly the role of isolated monasteries in Scotland and Ireland during the Dark Ages and the role of islamic scholarship. Might it not be possible to produce a short version of this with sources to replace the material you removed? It is true that Renaissance scholars scoured monastic and islamic libraries to recover the "lost" knowledge of antiquity. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
