Arabs infobox
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Your drastic changes to the infobox do not reflect the actual content of the article. What you're arguing has already been discussed in the past a lot. The current entry for the Arabs article is very inclusive and it includes the majority of Arabic-speaking people. I will also refer you to a scholarly book titled "A House of Many Mansions: The History of Lebanon Reconsidered" (http://books.google.ca/books/about/A_House_of_Many_Mansions.html?id=t_amYLJq4SQC&redir_esc=y) by esteemed historian Kamal Salibi; in the book Kamal's research shows that the current Eastern Mediterranean Arabic-speaking people descend from people who moved to Syria/Lebanon/Palestine/Jordan from modern-day Yemen/Oman 10 000 years ago. And please remember there is no such thing as ethnic purity.George Al-Shami (talk) 23:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- An Arab is someone who is his ancestors in one of the tribes of Arabia, not speaking Arabic. In Quebec, French is spoken, and yet it does not make them French. --Hmei7 (I love Omar-toons) 17:50, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, good, you looked at my contributions, however you haven't addressed what I said. Your edit does not match the content of the article. Wikipedia is about consensus, if you feel strongly about 1 or 2 people in the infobox, discuss it and then make the necessary edits, but please avoid the wholesale change of the current infobox, which reflects the article's content. With regards to your pre-conceived views, please read the scholarly source I mentioned before beginning a discussion.George Al-Shami (talk) 02:03, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Moreover, check out the Arabic Wikipedia article for this topic, their infobox is just as inclusive as the current English one. (https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8)George Al-Shami (talk) 02:22, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hilalian family
[edit]Hello Hmei7,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hilalian family for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — MusikAnimal talk 17:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Your contributed article, Chaouia (region)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Chaouia (region). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Chaouia-Ouardigha. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Chaouia-Ouardigha – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Gbawden (talk) 06:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
