Template for Saudi Premiership
I found a template for the Saudi Premier league teams on the french wikipedia. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Shabab_Riyad

Problem is, I don't know how to make a template. So could someone make a translation or teach me to make a template?Burning phoneix 13:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem bro, this is the template if we put it in plain text.


 * To make a template, it's like making an article, you chose the name for the template, maybe Template:Saudi Premiership, it's red now because it hasn't been created, the teams are red because they are linked with the french way of saying the clubnames.


 * Here is the code for the template with the Wikicode disabled, so you copy and paste that into Template:Saudi Premiership and translate some words and that's it :D


 * good luck bro ;),, if you need anything else 7ena ta7t amrk :P -- muhaidib-- (Talk | #info | [[image:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg|22px]] ) 14:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, It's done. How do I paste it on articles. :(Burning phoneix 14:58, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * very easy :D,, at the place where you want to include it, just write the template's name between "", so just write
 * and that't it :D -- muhaidib-- (Talk | #info | [[image:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg|22px]] ) 15:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Saudi Arabian Music/Singers
I just created a small stub today for the Arabic singers section in Category:Saudi music and Category:Saudi singers, and I was thinking of working up those stubs and creating somthing out of them. So here is what's in there so far: So maybe we could make a template for Saudi Music and make new articles for other singers and stuff, so who's with me :D -- muhaidib-- (Talk | #info |  ) 18:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Abdulmajeed Abdullah
 * Mohammed Abdu
 * Rabeh Sager
 * Rashed Al-Majed


 * Personally,I hate every single Arabic singer. So that means I'll be of negilible usefullness D:.Burning phoneix 06:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I created a stub for Talal Maddah yesterday, and today I've noticed it's been canned!!!! Can anyone provide me with a reason? - HiJazzey 14:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Order of succession in Saudi Arabia
Is there an articel on the topic? I'd like to know who is second after prince Sultan. King Abdullah and crown prince Sultan had been Second Vice Premier before getting crown prince. Who is second vice-premier now? As to Ibn Sauds wish there will never be a crown prince and a king at the same time born by the same mother. Thanks -- Cherubino 21:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the person after Prince Sultan has been chosen yet -- mo -- (Talk | #info | [[image:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg|22px]] ) 22:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The king assigns his succesor when he becomes king, not before.Burning phoneix 06:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Because of the principle of Seniority and the "clan-code" of changing motherhood, next crown prince won't be a Sudairi. But the remaining Sudairi six are mighty, and Salman seems to have good chances. But that`s glass sphere. Crown prince Abdallah by all means proclaimed Sultan as his successor when King Fahd supplemented order of succession in 1992, allowing (great-)grandchildren bin Sauds to become king . The Sudairis strategy Sultan to survive crown prince Abdallah did not achieve. -- Cherubino 20:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Saudi World cup bios
Recently, players like Mohamed Al-Dayeaya and Sami Al-Jaber have had their pages updated with new info. Appparently, this info was cut and pasted from the Fifa World cup website. Can we do that?. Burning phoneix 12:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * sure,, why not -- mo -- (Talk | #info | [[image:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg|22px]] ) 22:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Orthography question at Bin Laden family

Aviation add to King Abdulaziz Airport
I added Evergreen Aviation to the North Terminal list as they flew there when I served in the Fire Service at the airport - sort of a nice trivia thing (that people do not know about) because it is always assumed there are no American companies that fly into Saud - when there actually is one. They are based out of Dubai for those local operations but last I checked their HQ is in Oregon.

help requested regarding image of at-Ta'if
i thought this would be the best place to request some assistance regarding an image of at-Ta`if uploaded a long time ago (Image:Taif_1970_Saudi_Arabia.jpg). can anyone find the source for this image? i personally was unable to do so. does anyone have know of any images of at-Ta`if (perferably a picture of the mountainous areas) which has a free license (CC, GFDL etc)? i found one or two images under ownership of saudiembassy.net and i have contacted them requesting that they release the images under GFDL (no answer yet). does anyone know of any good, free images available? thank you.

Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
