Adminship

Oh joy! Anas now has one of these!

Per your RFA, I have promoted you to admin. Congratulations. Please make sure you are familiar with our relevant policies before using your new shiny buttons. Raul654 15:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, I knew it would pass! Also, just to save you a bit of time, I know that most admins just type an edit summary of Blocked when they have blocked a user account/IP address, but its up to you just it saves a little time that way, have fun with the new tools. Kindest Regards — The Sunshine Man (a.k.a Tellyaddict) 18:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations from me, too. See you! Best wishes, PeaceNT 18:11, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
And from me also... enjoy!! The Rambling Man 18:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for the lateness in congratulating you, problems with my computer (tut), who needs 'em!!. Anyway, thanks for your comments and I hope I will be interacting with you again, I sort of knew you previously when I edited as User:Tellyaddict before I decided to get a fresh start with this brand new account!

Congrulations and well done Anas. You have been a great contributor here and especially on Middle East DYK stuff. Look forward to working with you. Sorry that I was away for thee past month and missed the RfA. All the best! Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, just thought I should tell you that you can use {{schoolblock}} and {{anonblock}} for blocking School and shared IP's, you can also add {{schoolblock|comments here}} but thats optional. Just thought I could tell you....— The Sunshine Man (a.k.a Tellyaddict) 20:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey! Sorry I'm late! Congratulations! Anonymous Dissident Utter 06:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulation's! You've earned the trust of the Wikipedia community, good work; and, for the future, good luck. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 09:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you all so much! I appreciate this, really. Hopefully, I won't let you down. The cake's kinda offbeat, though. :P —Anas talk? 12:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I thought I could also tell you that when using {{schoolblock}} you can do {{schoolblock|duration of block here}} as well, I might of said this above I just thought I'd point it out. Cheers! — The Sunshine Man (a.k.a Tellyaddict) 16:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject help?

You did such a great job starting WP:SYRIA. I am trying to model a similar styled project, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Rational Skepticism/test. I made the subpages so far for DefinitionLayout, Topic, About, and Assessment, but they are not outputting to the Main Page yet. Any idea what is going on? Smee 06:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC).

A 24-hour block for a vandal that returns every 11 days or so? Odd. - Dudesleeper · Talk 09:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The anon has vandalized only twice in one week, and has not received any previous blocks. The warnings weren't recent, so I thought a 24-hour block will suffice. Of course, if he returns, the block period ought to extend. —Anas talk? 10:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Syrian American

Brother, that rocks! You should take it out of the sandbox! Looking at the ones I created two years ago, Mongolian American and Tibetan American, I wish they looked as good! Maybe I could prevail upon you for your skills? :) Thanks for the heads-up! Chris 21:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

ps, also can you talk to User talk:Ghazello? He doesn't talk to me, but keeps reverting my changes at the Lebanese Scouting articles when I try to wikify them. He needs to understand why we do the things we do. Perhaps something in his native language would make it click. Thanks again! Chris 22:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
He just keeps reverting text that is relevant or changes I made. He takes Muhammad out of Muhammad Toufik El Hibri's name, breaking the hyperlink. For all I know, it could be two separate guys, father and son or grandson, but he doesn't say, he just reverts. When I change one of his edits, the caption for instance, from "primary supporter of the Scout movement in Lebanon and the Arab world", something unsourced, possibly true for Lebanon but inapplicable, say, for Egypt or Morocco, to "recipient of the Bronze Wolf award", something documented, he reverts back to the text he's put in. I removed the caption from his photograph, and explained in the edit that captions belong on the article, not as part of the photograph. In response he created two more copies of the photo, with the captions added again. I have no doubt he has better sources than I do, he's probably right in many of his addition, maybe even in his reverts, but he needs to explain himself when he makes those changes, and he ignores my requests to use the talk page. He bold-faced many more things in the article than were necessary, and thankfully has not undone my changes to make those encyclopedic, but I just don't think he understands the process well enough to allow other users to make good changes on the article. He's very new, and I support his enthusiasm, but he has to let others play with the ball, too. Chris 02:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, brother, I don't know what you said, but the weirdness seems to have settled down. Anything I can do to see your Syr-Am article get FA? Chris 02:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Block of User:216.56.60.82

Hi. If I could make an interesting suggestion. You blocked this user for 3 months as a disruptive school. However, 3 months will end in August 23rd, right before the beginning of the school year. I'm thinking it quite likely that a good number of schools, as soon as they get back, will have editing capacity, and will innundate Wikipedia with vandalism - thus, it might be better to block this IP up until something like September 23rd - which really is only extending it by a month. Take my suggestion as you wish. Thank you. The Evil Spartan 23:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the links Anas Salloum. As a wikignome I have always been unclear as to whether I have the right to leave warnings on talk pages. But if I can then the links you left me will be most helpful so thanks again. MarnetteD | Talk 23:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Congrats

Thank you, congrats to you too. :) Yonatan talk 00:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
  6. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Thanks for the tip Anas. Sounds like a great idea :) Anonymous Dissident Utter 06:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking action against vandals! Buddhipriya 09:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfair blocking of a user : But tell me, when is discussion vandalism . . . pity you didn't discuss it with me first before you blocked me! IPSOS and Buddhipriya are one and the same and using both accounts to reinforce a single point of view. Why don't you get IPSOS to remove his extremely aggressive and offensive material from his user page. If he showed respect to other editors he would get it back in equal measure. He has been asked on many occasions to tone down his user page . . . why do you allow it? Incidentally he has a false link on his user page it states 'you have new messages' which redirects to 'practical jokes'. So why not treat the disease (IPSOS) and not the symptoms(me).--81.157.73.83 10:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Do you have anything to back your claim? —Anas talk? 10:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Presumably you are referring to 'Sock Puppetry' : Only from the pattern of edits made by both IDs on IPSOS talk page and elsewhere. Unfortunately the IPSOS talk page was archived following one of my postings - my post was removed and then it was archived thus removing the history and all the other contentious edits and comments previously removed by IPSOS. As an anon user there is little I can acces to back up a serious suspicion. (No I don't want a user account). Ipsos reported me for vandalism on on the Austin Osman Spare page . . . basically he lost his case and my compromise position and edits stand to this day. Read his user page to see his attitude to users of Wikipedia. I can assure you I am not a vandal! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.73.83 (talk • contribs)
I have scrutinized and examined the edit war over external links in the Austin Osman Spare article. I have to say that IPSOS was not right in reverting your edits. Links from such websites as Fortean Times are deprecated, especially when non-commercial authorized links are available. However, the way you reacted to his reversions wasn't appropriate; you should've discussed this in the talk page. Additionally, you can always contact an admin in such cases. I have found nothing in both, IPSOS and Buddhipriya's editing patterns, that proves one is the sock puppet of the other. They edit different articles and have rarely interacted. Just because Buddhipriya reported you to WP:AIV, that doesn't mean Buddhipriya is a sock puppet of IPSOS.
Your edit of IPSOS's user page, nevertheless, is vandalism, and you had to be blocked, not as a punishment, but to protect Wikipedia and its editors from potential harm. If you wish to contribute to the encyclopedia, I encourage you to register an account, familiarize yourself with our policies, and in the future try to edit constructively. Regards, Anas talk? 12:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I really don't want to drag this out but 1)I tried to discuss it on IPSOS talk page. He deleted my posts but at the same time was putting posts on my talk page? He was a user with greater experience and I was merely following his lead. 2) What about IPSOS' aggression and his offensive User Page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.73.83 (talk • contribs)

Hi Anas. Yes it is fine to work in userspace and do the move. Sorry about the slackness. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

More Trouble with IPSOS AGAIN!!

Will you please intervene on

The latter was the original page. IPSOS invaded it and littered it with Wiki-clutter . . . leaving a notice inviting discussion on the user page. He has not posted to that page . . . but just unilaterally applied his version of disambiguation.

He has not discussed it despite requests to do so and has not posted to the Discussion Page. (see my comments there). In addition the way he has split them is crazy. The most important (interesting) company was the 1929-30 on which was owned by Aleister Crowley and worked with authors like D H Lawrence this can only be found through a small note at the top of the page for the modern company — that is simply daft.

In addition he has ignored your request to tone down his user page. Personally I think he really needs to calm down his confrontational editing style. Thanks--81.157.73.83 09:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I won't attempt to revert his edits as it clearly involves page deletions etc.--81.157.73.83 09:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that! Much appreciated. I like the edit too — it removed the pseudo-commercial/factual data but kept the essence of what the page needed. I would be grateful if you have any ideas or suggestions on how the page might be developed (a brief note on the article's discussion page would be good). Finally, I hear what you say but the other party involved still hasn't changed their talk page and that says it all regarding 'attitude'. Thanks again and best wishes--81.157.73.83 10:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Tony Shalhoub

I noticed on the Tony Shalhoub page that you put in his name in Arabic and transliterated (several months ago, but I'm just seeing it now). I was wondering if there are any sort of guidelines for when to also show a person's name in another language, because as far as I can tell, Tony Shalhoub isn't known by that name regularly. (I posted the question on the talk page as well, so you should probably respond there. Thanks! -- Amazins490 (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

{{Arabic}}

Hi Anas, if you get the chance, the CFD for cleaning up the original language categories is finished, and you asked me to remind you to update the Arabic template. It would probably be good to make it similar to {{Cyrillic}}, so I don't have to remember two different ways of doing things. Thanks for doing it, and as always thanks for your tireless work keeping the category empty. Rigadoun (talk) 17:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

There's probably other small languages in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but if we need them we can add them later. That's certainly everything needed in articles I've run across. Maybe for ones that very seldom come up, you could combine them into some sort of "other" category. You can use your judgment based on what you've seen in the category to decide, and if there ends up being a bunch of something, they can be sorted later. Rigadoun (talk) 19:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Brother Anas, I see what you've done on the Arabic template, and for the most part I agree, however
1) Azeri, Kazakh and Tajik have not used Arabic scripts for 80 years, Azeri uses a modified Turkish Latin, and Kazakh and Tajik have their own modified Cyrillic. Even religious texts written in the Arabic script there are either in Arabic or Persian.
2) Because Persian has their own template, watched over by the guys at the Iran WikiProject, are you sure you want to make it a subset of {{Arabic}}? I understand the logic, but it may end up getting the need ignored because of cultural sensitivities. Just a thought.
3) Other languages that _do_ use the Arabic script include the Comorian language, Swahili and Somali.
Just some thoughts, shukran, Chris 02:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris. Thank you for your suggestions. I have clarified everything in the template's page; if you find any mistakes, feel free to correct them. As for the {{Persian}} template, I've reverted everything. I think what I did was just a hasty mistake. Hopefully, things in their current conditions will satisfy everyone. Thanks again.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Great work, but one complaint: you write that "there are currently 178 Eastern Orthodox churches and missions in the United States". I know this is sourced, but the information is most likely out of date. If you look here, here and presumably here, it seems highly likely the number is quite a bit larger. Plus, with new churches being built often, it's hard to maintain a stable figure. I'd suggest rewording to "hundreds of E.O. churches...", for the sake of simplicity and accuracy.

{{Persian}}

Anas, it usually a bad idea to delete templates without TfD. For once there are many article using {{Persian}} with the deletion of the template they now all have red links and somebody has to fix all the templates. The other thing is that some Iranian users are pretty pissed of by this deletion. They allege that the references to Arabic that are still present in the template even with the parameter are inappropriate for the Persian things, the modern Persian script is different from Arabic (a few more letters, etc.) and so on, and so on. The last thing we need is the new round of Arabic-Iranian edit wars over these templates. IMHO the benefits of having the Persian templates overweight the advantages of the standardization. I have restored the template, if you disagree lets have a TfD Alex Bakharev 02:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alex. I don't think there are any red links because I replaced every talk page tagged with the {{Persian}} template with the new template. I was pretty hesitant on deleting the template, but went ahead and did so because I thought there was consensus on using a unified template (two other established users in a CfD). My apologies, I will revert my changes. —Anas talk? 10:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Anas, thanks for your prompt response. I am a messenger here. People from the Iran project are very suspicious of such moves because of the history of the editorial conflicts, if you convince them - I am happy with all the changes, but otherwise I would rather not have another lame edit war. Thanks a lot for understanding Alex Bakharev 13:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
No worries. I know these lame wars and have seen them before; usually I don't get involved and, in my present conditions, wouldn't want to risk drowning in one. So, for now, I have restored everything to the way it was before. Additionally, having giving it some thought, I think no changes are really necessary, since many have already gotten accustomed to using Persian template. Thanks for understanding too. —Anas talk? 13:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Mandrake Press

PLEASE intervene again <sigh> . . . the editing by IPSOS has move from disruptive/confrontational and is tantamount to vandalism. He is making an issue of trying to destroy this article (reason unknown). He asked for two weeks to garner opinions on the disambiguation issue but has now removed the tag and removed all the material to achieve the same ends. I know this request and your intervention merely serve to feed the troll but I really don't know what else to do with an editor such as IPSOS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.73.83 (talk • contribs).

{{Persian}} and {{Arabic}}

I don't care if {{Persian}} stays around, since people are already accustomed to it. TfD would certainly be a nationalist fight that I don't want to be involved in, and then there's the user that might remember {{Persian}} and not be able to figure out how to use it now. I just thought you should add a Persian parameter to the Arabic script, which you did, for people who don't know there's a special template, and that they point to the same category. Also, I didn't see if you answered Kintetsubuffalo/Chris's questions up earlier in the page, but you may want to clarify that on the template page, that most Kazakh, etc. don't use Arabic script anymore, but those in China, etc. do. It may also be appropriate for some historical things (things before they switched to their modern script). Anyway, thanks for your work. Rigadoun (talk) 15:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. As I have said in my talk page, I now realize it wasn't an appropriate thing to do, more like a hasty mistake. Anyway, I have reverted all changes related to the Persian template and clarified everything in the Arabic template's page. Hopefully, things in their current conditions will gratify all sides. Thanks for your help. —Anas talk? 16:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Mandrake Press - Book of Tobit

Can you please take a moment more to advise me . . . is a photograph of the said Book of Tobit acceptable evidence? If so I'll arrange for a copyright free photograph to be taken and upload it to the article? So, it is a fact that someone believed it didn't exist (it says so in the exhibition catalogue), but I discovered it did, but to include the data in Wikipedia I need to cite someone else as the discoverer not myself (or someone else has to say I discovered it?)

Also, would it be acceptable to list books by both old and new companies, for the latter I was thinking of examples of some of the out-of-print limited edition books that have turned out to be collectable (rather than the more run-of-the-mill paperbacks).

Any further suggestions you may have to improve this infant-article would greatfully received. For example I have a copy of the Cambridge Exhibition Catalogue and I could add quotes from that etc?

Oops, so their is - I'll fix that. May I ask what you think of my new re-vamped userpage, is the green to "in your face" do you think? I got the design from User:Daniel and made a lot of changes. The Sunshine Man 16:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your advice! I think I will change my sig back, I decided to see what it would be like so I took the sig from when I used to edit as Tellyaddict, again - thanks for your advice. Much appreciated! The Sunshine Man 18:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you also add the Arabic at Ahaat? Thank you again, Badagnani 17:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Arabic script

Wonderful! I study Arabic music, so if you're able to add the Arabic spellings to musical articles maybe we can get the Arabic interwikis that way. Here are two more: Arghul and Mijwiz. Badagnani 18:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Rajid Baransi

Anas, salam

You took down the Arabic script request for Rajid Baransi citing that it wasn't originally an Arabic name. Do you know what it is then? He is an Arab Israeli from Nazareth. -NYC2TLV 10:34, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the 'j' in Rajid is a strong "j". Shukran habibi. -NYC2TLV 17:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Have a personal request! How would you write the name Rōnī Levī in Arabic? -NYC2TLV 11:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
