Arab
also in this article and in the Arabization article it is stated that. syria iraq etc was a part of the arabization by the Islamic conquest. and the arab tribes wich was in iraq and syria before islam was only on the Arabia and Syrian dessert (westren iraq and eastren syria) like stated in this article. and they are the orginal arabs traced back from the arab tribes wich are called ethnic arabs rest of syria and iraq was arabizied wich wil be cultural arabs. In a Political talkshow, there was said that the Shias label themselfs as Iraqis not arabs. btw the arab tribes like shammar etc exist only in the sunni populated area. the sunnis label themsels as Arab ethnically and Iraqi Nationality unlike the Shia they label themselfs Iraqi ethnically. my sources of the ethnically arabs in syria are from the Bedium population wich are about 1,3 mil. in this article it did not define whos arab and whos not but whos genetical and whos Arabizied.they are both under the article "Arab" and they are both considred Arabs but in each way.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Admiin0o (talk • contribs)
1001 Nights
Why did you delete my timeline of the 1001 Nights? It was the most encyclopedic element of the article and took me a long time to do.
Nevermind, I'm putting it on my own private website as copyrighted material.
Feel free to edit out truths in the future which conflict with your fictional version of history.
I am doing a PHD on the 1001 Nights and know a little about it. Please don't put my material back up.
stan goldsmith 21:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I did NOT delete any thing from the article I only added one photo from wiki media [1]. I appreciate your work and timeline because simply it is relible and not based on national pride. plz don't blame me check the history then you will see the other user delete it (he/she summerized his deletion). BTW there was a war of edits on that article (and others)that's why I don't really trust every thing here because someone else will come and delete your work because of some reason !! thanks --Aziz1005 09:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Aziz, please accept my apologies, I thought you deleted it because it said timeline next to your name. Wikipedia is a strange place, I was just mad because I worked so hard on it. Peace. stan goldsmith 18:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Possible copyvio
We appreciate your contributions to the Khalifa Alqattan article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Thanks. Grandmasterka 23:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm a bit confused about this edit you made to the Shakira article in which you changed "Lebanese" to "Arab-Lebanese". Is there another kind of Lebanese? ShadowHalo 06:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Use edit summaries
Please use edit summaries for all of your edits. --Mardavich 00:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Again, please use edit summaries or I will report you for gaming the system. --Mardavich 23:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Because saying it's only an Arab love story is POV-pushing. It is celebrated in Persian literature as well, so we say "Middle Eastern". Khoikhoi 22:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, but if we have someone like Geber who may have been Arab of Persian, we just say "Islamic" or "Muslim", as we have to respect WP:NPOV. It's not Wikipedia's job to take sides. Khoikhoi 22:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not Iranian, and "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." Khoikhoi 22:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

sourcing toomer's quote
Hi Aziz, Toomer's quote is already sourced (see the small number 8 after the quote.) Cheers, —Ruud 23:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Iranipedia!!
Salam Aziz,
What should I say?...Welcome to Iranipedia! LOOOL Don't give up man, your edits are essential for the neutrality of this encyclopedia. Jidan 23:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- نعم افهم عربي ,and you don't have to bother yourself explaining it to me, I know the problem very well. Just please be carefull regarding the 3RR rule. They don't know here any mercy, if they caught you breaking any rules (e.g. 3RR, persoanl attack, etc) they will automaticlaly block you. BTW, i think it was wrong to block you. You are a new user. This is called new user biting [2] an is not allowed! Jidan 15:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Aziz, I hate to death poetry ;) I am more interested more in arab-islamic science. Jidan 23:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
The book is in English
The first source is in English language. You're looking at the authors' names and making uneducated assumptions about the language of the book or the author's ethnicity. The authors are either Indian or Pakistani. Regardless, the book is in English and meets WP:RS. --Mardavich 00:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't change any sources, someone else might have. I was talking about the first source I used which was written by a Muslim scholar. That was in English. --Mardavich 00:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
re: Banu Musa
You might want to read WP:V and WP:RS. You sources were not reliable at all, I supported my insertions with primary scholarly sources. - Marmoulak 00:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- The first source doesn't mention the ethnicity of Banu Musa at all, besides it is article written by students and is still a secondary source (and an unreliable one that is). Columbia Encyclopedia is a secondary source. My insertion, on the other hand, is supported by primary sources like scholars such as Professor Jeff Oaks, an expert in history of mathematics. - Marmoulak 01:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Mine is as well supported by primary sources like scholars, read it properly firstAziz1005 02:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

- Apparently you don't know what a primary source is (read WP:NOR). Al-Dabbagh, is not a primary source (It is a dictionary, dictionaries and encyclopedias are not primary sources) and not reputable at all. The fact that it was published more that a decade ago makes it even less reliable, then, all the Islamic scientists were categorized as "Arabic scientists" meaning they wrote in Arabic, later on this was corrected due to the fact that "Arabic"(linguistic) was mistaken with "Arab"(ethnic). Overall your sources are not reliable. By the way, refrain from making personal attacks it is against WP. - Marmoulak 02:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Your violations of 3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.. --Mardavich 02:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Khoikhoi 03:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you...
Salam Aziz, I really appreciate your contributions to the yemeni related articles. I should have done this long time ago, but....ok, I have no excuses :) Jidan 19:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- la maTawalt ya aziz, your words are all wisdom :) You probably didn't find any yemeni user there becuase they are busy chewing gat (a sad LOL). If you have any question regarding yemen and its civilazition, please feel free to ask. Jidan 19:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- We arabs did have great civilzations prior to islam, e.g. the ghassanids, lakhmids, Himayer, sabaeans, chaldeons, babylons (immagrants from the arabian peninusla), nabateans, and more. Unfortunatly, a lot of people (sadly, even arabs themselves) think that arabs had totally no civilizations before Islam, and this message is amplified by islamic extremists. Jidan 19:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Cool! I wanted always to have such an encyclopedia. Can you purchase them in DVD/CD format, like for example Brittanica or Encarta? Also aziz, IMO, sources written by arabs regarding this issue are not really reliable. Best thing are books/encyclopedias written by neutral authors. Jidan 19:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- And regarding Al-Karkhi, wikipedia states clearly that inclusion is not truth, but verfiablity. Well, this is wikipedia, any idiot can edit it. Jidan 19:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Layout problems on your user page
I have noticed that your user page does not fit onto my 1024x768 screen. It doesn't help that I give up about 150 pixels of width to the Monobook sidebar. I don't know the best way to fix it other than to put {{clear}} before the gallery. (The problem is the gallery is going off the side of the page and has a thumb in front of it.)
If {{clear}} results in a layout you don't like, I suggest you leave it the way it is now. That would help those at the technical portion of the village pump assist you by letting them see the problem for themselves. Will (Talk - contribs) 04:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hello will Pittenger, well I am not familiar with these codes but I added them to my page, actually if u want u can do these changes if that necessary.. Thanks again --Aziz1005 10:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC-6)
You fixed it. I don't know what you thought I would do. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Please use the + tab when starting a new conversation on talk pages. Thanks.
As you may know, when you add new sections to talk pages like you did to create User talk:Will Pittenger#removed with reason, it would help if you used the + tab rather than simply editing the last conversation. When I saw you posted in User talk:Will Pittenger#Re: Layout problems on your user page, I thought you were replying to the earlier post. Hence, I had troubles establishing the correct context for your post. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Sa.vakilian--04:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for finding my mistake regarding [[Image:Ziryab garden.gif]]. Good eye! I have corrected the information in the image description at least. I would have simply requested that the image be deleted since there is the much superior copy in Wikimedia commons, but I notice that it is also used (properly labeled) in the Arabic Music article. I'd link the better image there, but don't have time right at the moment. The more difficult problem is going to be finding an appropriate image to use to illustrate Ziryab's article, but I'm sure someone will locate something eventually.

Arabic Wikipedia
Hi, Aziz. Nice to see you here. I just need some time to relax and forget what happened there. I am no longer an administrator in the Arabic Wikipedia. I may return in the next summer but as an ordinary user. Please don't write in Arabic here because non-Arab Wikipedians will not be able to understand you and not all computers can even read Arabic.

Please do not forget to use summaries especially for the controversial edits
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! Alex Bakharev 00:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Egyptians
Stop removing sourced information that you don't like from the Arabs article. It is none of your business how or what way Egyptians identify themselves. If your remove the information again, I am going to report it on the vandalism board. Egyegy 21:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ok then keep on dreaming, ask any Egyptian child are you Arab or not, he or she will answer straight away YES I AM ARAB. It is simply fact. Why it is called jumhoreyyat masr elArabia. Anyway do not remove the tag, and I have studies and I don't have enough time to waste it with these nonsense.--Aziz1005 20:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if I'm intruding on this discussion, but I wanted to reply to Aziz1005. I am an Egyptian and I do NOT consider myself Arab. Many of my Egyptian friends, Muslims or Christians or Jews or atheists, do NOT consider themselves Arabs either. This is not to say that some Nasser-propaganda brain-washed Egyptian say they are Arabs, but there is a considerable number of Egyptians out there who do not consider themselves Arabs. Of course I am not in the position to say whether this is the majority of the people or just a minority. It is nevertheless a considerable number. Arabs, just like any invaders (Greeks, Romans, Turks, French, British) are foreigners to the Land of Egypt, and it is very unfair to call the entire population Arab just because they speak Arabic. After all, Senegal is not French, Austria is not German, Taiwan is not Chinese, Argentina is not Spanish, and Brazil is not Portuguese. Why should Egypt be Arab then? Peace--Lanternix 16:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Marhaba, I understand your point. I know some Egyptians do not consider their self's as Arabs (which is a modern theory), especially Coptic people, but you can say many nevertheless do. It is really hard to define who is ethnically Arab and who isn't in modern Egypt although many Egyptians speak Arabic. Therefore you can not just say all the 75 million Egyptian are considered as Non-Arab. There was a major Arab population immigrated to Egypt after the rise of Islam who for instance built Cairo and obviously mixed with the native people of Egypt, also there was a large Greek population lived in Egypt before the Islamic conquest as well as Jews and other Semitic people. Not all people of modern Egypt are descended from the ancient Egyptian people. Any way this one theory to define Egyptians I totally respect you opinion although it is almost impossible to prove that some one is descended from a pharaoh grandfather, while in fact many Egyptians can be descended directly to one of the ancient Arabic tribes or families (such as ashraaf).I just wanted to say that the theory of considering the population of Egypt as Arab did not start from Nasser's era, It is really old theory to define a considerable number of Egyptians as Arabs (At least give the chance for the other opinion).The connection between Arabs and Egypt is much stronger than the relationship between Senegal and France, Argentina and Spain, and Austria and Germany. Egyptians or Arab Egyptians share history, Heritage, Culture and in some cases ethnical roots with Arab people of Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco and other Arab countries. Thank you for your civilised discussion.--Aziz1005 17:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Sinbad's name
Aziz, I see you've been editing the Sinbad article recently. Do you know anything about the origin of the name Sinbad? We've got Richard Burton's etymology, from his 19th century translation of the 1001 nights, but surely there's something scholarly and more recent available? Thanks PiCo 06:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help Aziz. The name really puzzles me, and I'd like to know what contemporary scholars think. We have some suggestions for a Persian origin and for a connection with Sind/Sindh, and we've even had someone suggest a Kurdish origin (I deleted that as it was OR). Burton has Sanskrit and Pali suggestions, but he may have just been engaging in mock-scholarship for his readers. (He was genuinely learned, but I think not above pretending to more knowledge than he actually had). One connection I've never seen made is with the word zindabad, meaning victory - it would be appropriate, as the hero is always victorious - but no-one seems to make it. PiCo 10:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Re:Sinbad
Dear can you tell me which Sinbad are you talking about because i see many articles there. Khalidkhoso 23:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Iran and Iranian people
Salam. I saw you have some problem in the case of Iran and Iranian peoples. The problem is that Iran has 2 meanings. Iran is a current country with definite borders as well as an empire like roman empire. You(non-Iranian) recognize that Empire as Persia while we(Iranian) recognize it as Iran. Persian empire includes at least regions between Uphrate and Indus River. Also it includes regions from Bahrein in south to Caucasia and trasoxonia in north. --Sa.vakilian(t-c) 12:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Iranian people also is not restricted to people who leave in Iran, but also comprise Baluch, Kurd, Tajik and some others. Thus we recognize Ibn Sina, Kharazmi and some others as Iranian people because they're from Iranian descendants. Also some people have Percianized like turks who ruled in Iran.
However I think this is not an important issue and waste our time. It prevent us to do constructive editions and good relations with each other. You can see my former debate about this issue in my talk page:here--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 12:58, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
spaces
I noticed that in some of your edits unnecessary spaces are inserted (for example [6].) Are these just typos or might there be a configuration issue with your computer (possible caused by you languages settings and in particular left-to-right or right-to-left settings?) —Ruud 19:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- The a space before the comma in "Muslims as well as ,Christian" (it should be after the comma) and there is an unnecessary space between the parenthesis and the first word of "( Arab as well as". These might just be typos or an incorrect application of English writing style, but I have similar problems when I try to edit the Arab Wikipedia with a computer which is configured to use English. —Ruud 19:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Guessing that you are running an Arabic version of Windows and Internet Explorer possible solutions might be to download and English version of Firefox and use it to edit Wikipedia or try to change Windows' language settings to English (I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but try something called "Language adn region settings" or "Keyboard" in the Configuration screen.) —Ruud 19:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
