Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome! --BigDT 17:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Al-Qasida al-ghinaiya fi suriya The Sung-Poetry of Syria
Hi. I've been watching the development of this article for about an hour instead of tagging it for speedy deletion immediately. Unfortunately, it seems like you are trying to write an essay instead of a NPOV article. Please avoid the use of "I" or "we" etc. You also don't mention any sources/references at all, so it's very likely that this article will be deleted/nominated for deletion soon. Also, the title of the article is too long and does seem inappropriate for the English-speaking wiki and you might need moving it. So before you waste efforts to lengthen this article, please consider improving this article per the advices mentioned above. :-)– sgeureka t•c 18:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
