Iranian peoples

My comment? SouthernComfort 08:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I reported the IP that was vandalizing the page and violated the 3RR, and it got blocked for 12 hours.if it keeps doing this after that,i guess i will ask protection.Thanks!i will have it in mind --Hectorian 01:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Image side by side

ugg, khoi, can you please show me how to put 2 images side by side in this page: List of Assyrian settlements. I am trying to put the more upclose village map in the middle, between the the village names and the province map, but can't seem to do so. And also, what are we going to do about the Iranian extremist? Chaldean 20:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks alot for fixing the pic and the tip about reporting :) Chaldean 03:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thanks again. This wikipedia is starting to really bother me now. I wish every page had a mod to keep track of properganda and lies being published. Chaldean 09:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem, just trying to give back the help I got from you :) Chaldean 03:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Yea your right. I just wanted a page where we could have statistical records of Assyrian population througouth the world, not just outside of the Middle East. But you can move it back if you want too, and maybe create a small section saying Middle East population, or something to that extend. Chaldean 05:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanking

I really don't know what is the standard practice. For my first RfA I have thanked all the people who voted Support and those voted Neutral or Oppose who had shown valid reasons (as I see it). For the second RfA, I simplified the task and only thanked people who voted Support. The good thing about the thanking is that I now have a lot of talk pages of important people on my watchlist :). Sometimes the discussions there are interesting abakharev 03:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Intentionally blank page

How is the sandbox fun? How will using that give myself a laugh? I need to make myself laugh often here. If I can't, what other wikis do you recommend, that I can laugh often with? --129.130.38.235 06:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

do you really think you can get away with this vandalism?

Think again!

Your RFA

Good luck next time; let me know and I'll be sure to check-in. FYI, it was this edit that most impressed me: – restoring the Burning of Smyrna. --Moby 09:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Count me in for your next RfA and never give up the good fight. Green Giant 09:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Likewise...

I also have no doubt that the spamming was from Metb82. It certainly seems his style and I think he wants to turn wikipedia into a propaganda tool and is trying to eliminate anything that is anti-Turkish no matter how accurate it is. I've encountered problems with him before.

Anyhow, good luck next time you run for admin. Englishrose 09:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

3RR violation at Iranian peoples

Hi, you violated the three-revert rule on Iranian peoples. I have disabled your editing permissions for 12 hours. Please read our guide on dispute resolution during the time you are unable to contribute to Misplaced Pages. Feel free to return after your block expires, but take your differences to the talk page and please refrain from edit warring. Cheers, —Ruud 13:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Alhazen

Hi Khoikhoi

Are you sure the version of the Alhazen article that you reverted to is NPOV? I searched the phrase Buwayhid Persia in Google to see if it is of popular use, and as the search results prove, it is not (ignore the Wiki mirror sites). The Persian Buwayhid dynasty may have conquered Baghdad, but the question is did they do it under the banner of Persia expansionism? Also, they never removed the Abbasid Caliph as according to Encarta: "In 945 the Buwayhids, an Iranian Shia dynasty, conquered Baghdad. However, they allowed the Abbasid caliph to remain in office as a symbol of continuity and legitimacy." And was the region of Iran considered part of Arabia because it was ruled by dynasties of Arabs? As a suggestion, these are the things you should think about before declaring one version as NPOV. Thanks. --Inahet 17:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. I hope you have a nice vacation, it looks like I need one too as I'm so obsessed with Misplaced Pages. It's not a good thing when editing Misplaced Pages is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night. Yes, I am weird. Take care. --Inahet 09:12, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Team Russ

Hello, could you please reconsider your vote for the Team Russ article to be deleted. The Team is quickly developing and has a fixture with a university team. I would also like to know your definition of a 'notable dodgeball team'. Thank you for your time. Wright123 20:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and enjoy

Thanks for the message :) - and enjoy your wikibreak, you definitely deserve it. Hopefully we'll see you on again soon. Green Giant 02:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Aucaman/Workshop.

Your RFA on the 26th

Hi. I just found out from the RFA talk page that you had an aborted RFA — I'm sorry I missed it while I was out. Don't let it get you down; as was said above, count me in regarding your next RFA. Thanks. Saravask 21:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject

Greetings! If interested, please join WikiProject Tibetan Buddhism. I hope that it will assist us in ensuring articles are of high quality. Sylvain1972 17:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks again for keeping me updated on current POV pushing.--Moosh88 03:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The Khojaly article is still one sided and needs more work done. The azeri users keep removing the tag I and Eupator place, it's becoming very annoying having to deal with them about every little thing. Please take a look at the talk page, at baku87's remark to another user. Also, maybe you could share your views on the talk page, being a neutral editor, both sides would be more willing to accept your edits.--Moosh88 04:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Khojaly_massacre

Attaching tag without giving any substantiation is nothing but vandalism. I asked you many times to explain on the talk page what exactly is disputed, so far you failed to do that. Until you do that, I have a right to remove the tag. Grandmaster 04:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

Re: Problems with editors

You left a note on my talk page as to which editors on WikiProject Turkey I had a problem with, which led to my removing myself from the project. I am sure you will understand if I don't want to name names, although I do want to say that it is by no means everyone involved in the project. The specific impetus that made me withdraw was some of the comments that I read here. As I am sure you have already guessed, the main issue I had was with POV-related issues. —Saposcat 07:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Erased by xebat

How can user Xebat erase my entry in the talk page on kurdish people they can at best answer it even if they feel its illogical?

I just filled my opinion on the last entry its just a vote in view of all arguments so far

I can also erase his entry cant I?--130.233.130.42 12:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Category:Kurdistan

Hi, I was wondering if you would care to comment on the categorization of articles about regions currently and historically populated by Kurds. See my post at Talk:Batman, Turkey#Kurdish Category. Thanks, --Moby 12:58, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

moved to: Category talk:Kurdistan (Which articles should have the tag 'Category:Kurdistan') --Moby 14:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

K sure

All I can say for certain is that the 2000 number in the south seems on the button. Have no idea about the rest. Its quite diffcult to come up with these numbers because all we have are a bunch of nationalistic(both turkish and greek) sites to rely on. Ill see what I can come up with--KSK 13:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah,i know.should i wait till she'll be blocked? --Hectorian 03:04, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Although I have to say you're completely wrong Xebat (Iranian is not an "uncommon word"), do you agree with the solution? --Khoikhoi 16:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

How you got this info Khoikhoi?! Iranians honestly and honestly is not a common word. Xebat Talk + 16:57, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

And you request adminship with that POV...

Even you don't know why you reverted.Just to be trouble...Inanna 23:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

NO DOUBT! or your masonry may cut your salary...Inanna 23:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Jews don't feel shame...you suppose yourself you are really a jew.What a pity. Inanna 23:58, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

As Shakespeare said "Jews are very proffesional at lying".Do you want more? By the way, the jew only whose mother is jewish is not at a jewish, actually.They are only victims...Inanna 00:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Why don't u just report her for personal attack? --Hectorian 00:19, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

hehe...ok then!have fun!:) --Hectorian 00:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Ya, ya, ya..."whose mother is jewish then he/she is jewish".So why not the father side? Let me tell you darling(i'm sure you know); Men are worthy and women have same status with animals in judaism."The Jew" is a race not only a religion.They care to keep their men's racial but they sell their women to wealthy chrisitan men and then "whose mother is jewish then he/she is jewish".Here the new victims of jews such as you(to use at their works)...

The Nature is more welcomed against men than women.The Male's sperm is the seed and it's like sign at son.Mother is only a field.That's cause mongols had raped thousands of Turkish women at Central Asia...Inanna 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you want any example for your irony? Inanna 00:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Jews are a race.Then why judaism hasn't spread such as christinaty or islam.Because hebrews believed that it was speacial to them.However jews try to show they are just a diffrent religious group at society.Jew is the jew.If it was like you said, they would only work for their own nation.I didn't see the movie because greeks were slaugtering us at 1964 in Cyprus.Those diffrent religion marriages are still taboo but the main issue is keeping the racial at jews.Unfortunatley some Turks in eastern anatolia has mixed with arabs and kurds because of islam brotherhood(!!!).

I know, you don't celebrate the shabat day as well.That's nonsense also.Judaism is the judaism.What're those sectarians...

What you said: "Yep, he's right. You really gotta watch out for us Jews, you don't know what kind of sly trick we'll come up with next."

Inanna 01:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry then.I hadn't understood it...Inanna 18:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Windows Vespa

• Just a head's up to let you know that your vote was vandalized by an anon. I've reverted it to what I think is the right version. --DMG413 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Kalendar Koffee House

Deleting Kalendar from the coffee house category is wrong. To claim that Kalendar is advertising is also incorrect. The Kalendar article lists date of opening and location with interior photo. The so called "vanity" aspects have been removed from the article. Kalendar may not be as "noteable" as the larger chains, but that should not preclude it from listing in the coffee house category. To call this article spam would be to call all listings in this category spam. The previous AFD article was edited down to be considered for inclusion - tis all. No harm intended.

This on the other hand is the opening paragraphs of the Starbucks listing. I imagine that all listings in this category are similar to this.

Starbucks NASDAQ: SBUX (SEHK: 4337), is a large multinational chain of coffee shops, often serving pastries, popular in the US especially among students and young urban professionals. The corporate headquarters are in Seattle, Washington. The company was in part named after Starbuck, a character in Moby-Dick, and its insignia is a stylized cartoon Siren.

According to the company's fact sheet, as of February 2006, Starbucks had 6,216 company-operated outlets worldwide: 5,028 of them in the United States and 1,188 in other countries and U.S. territories. In addition, the company has 4,585 joint-venture and licensed outlets, 2,633 of them in the United States and 1,952 in other countries and U.S. territories.

EllisCHanna 04:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Kalendar Koffee House

By definition most of the listings in the coffee house category are "non-notable". In fact the majority of the listings are not known outside the constituency where they are established. Being "non-notable" has always been a difficult area for editors. In this instance for example, the band Pursuit of Happiness wrote a song and video about Kalendar (1996 Kalendar/Gretzky Rocks/In Praise Of (T.W.A.-The World's Address). This by definition makes Kalendar a noteable entity by Misplaced Pages standards see Misplaced Pages:Notability "A topic has notability if it is known outside of a narrow interest group or constituency, or should be because of its particular importance or impact". EllisCHanna 04:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Kalendar Koffee House

Thank you Khoikhoi. Point well made. Not being a chain is a very good RFD and this should have been the only point voted on. Claims of being "non-noteable", or "advertising" or my favorite "vanspamvertisment" are invalid. I will respectfully remove the Kalendar listing from the coffee house category until we have a number of locations and qualify for inclusion.EllisCHanna 05:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Pashtuns

Thanks for your message. He needs to back up that claim with a source - are there sources in that article for Pashtuns being of Iranian "stock"? SouthernComfort 07:42, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

See also Britannica entry - origins are "unclear" but "more likely that they arose from an intermingling of ancient Aryans from the north or west with subsequent invaders." SouthernComfort 07:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The "eastern Iranian stock" phrase is mentioned on this Pashtun site but no source is mentioned. Maybe someone used this page for their edits? SouthernComfort 07:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The CIA country study for Afghanistan has some interesting information, but nothing clear about their ethnicity. I think this requires a visit to the library - this is the major problem with ethnic articles - a lot of this data, particularly for peoples of that region, is still not widely distributed on the Web. Like the Kurdish article, for instance, and the term "Iranian peoples" - a lot of this can be easily disambiguated through traditional methods of research - which involves time and patience, not something a lot of people here have tolerance for, as we both know. ;) SouthernComfort 07:51, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

There are plenty of sources listed on Pashtuns - if Tombseye contributed to that article and used those sources, then there is no valid deletion of that data. If Tombseye can disambiguate the source (if he added it), that would be great. About Aucaman, you mean Khomeini? I've already explained why those edits are improper and I've provided a new source to clarify that those views on ritual purity are not specific to Khomeini, but to all Shi'a marjas, but he ignores them. Note the section title: "Views on non-Muslims" - when did feces, dogs, sperm, etc become "non-Muslims"? SouthernComfort 07:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Tajiks and Iranian peoples

Check this out from the CIA country study . Interesting, yes? SouthernComfort 08:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Adieu

, and thanx for your support. I might try to expand the Spanakopita article in the future.--Avmatso 23:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

sorry

Whoops, wrong user! I'm terribly sorry. ;) There was a fascist pig that changed cyprus article. My mistake --www.doc 02:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha, serves her right! ;) I think that they shouldn't allow discriminating point of views, not even in the user pages about a recognized republic, like the Republic of Cyprus. It is still viewed by other users :\ But, lamers will always be lamers.. can't do anything about that instead of start cutting fingers lol.

Hey um.. where do you think "yenitsaroi"(i don't know how they say this, i know in greek it's γενίτσαροι) belong? (ottomans were stealing babies of greek origin to make a strong ruthless small yet powerful addition to their army) I mean where should they be added? --www.doc 03:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Found their turkish name: yeni çeri, nut.. Janitchar in english? :\--www.doc 03:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Hm, janissary ! Never mind, it's already written heh.--www.doc 03:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Adana

That's pretty weird. I wasn't able to make much sense out of his comments. If he's complaining about lack of sources (rather than neutrality) I think a source tag might set him at ease. I mean, that's what he's concerning about, right? Have you been observing the absurdities at Khomeini? Man ... I don't even know where to begin with that. SouthernComfort 03:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

You know, I don't even care if people want to push a certain POV, as long as they are honest about it and do not ignore other peoples' comments (as has been done there) or make nonsensical accusations that I am deleting relevant information when I have made my case with sources, which others also agree with. That is ridiculous. BTW, what do you think of Fadix's edits on Adana massacre and comments on Talk:Adana massacre? SouthernComfort 03:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem. They never let up though, I'll tell you that much. As for Fadix, I don't understand his reasoning either, but I figure if the Turkish editors don't mind (or care), then why bother? SouthernComfort 04:23, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Responded. SouthernComfort 05:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome??

I was already welcomed to wikipedia. I have had this account for 1 year.

Pashtun

Greetings,

Unfortunately, I'm not very knowledgeable on Pashtuni topics. Like everyone else, I'd have to go and dig out sources and see what they say.

As for the Fars page, someone moved the page without moving the links properly. An admin or someone knowledgable has to fix this.--Zereshk 07:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The links User:Ewlyahoocom is talking abouyt. I think he means some incoming links from other pages.--Zereshk 07:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

heh, me too.--Zereshk 07:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

On another note, if you would take a couple of minutes and deposit some evidence you feel youve seen that is worthy for an argument against Aucaman here. If no evidence is posted, the ArbCom wont get anywhere. And we only have 1 or 2 days before the admins close the hearings for a final decision. Thanx.--Zereshk 08:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your work.--Zereshk 08:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Perfecto. Gracias.--Zereshk 08:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

thank you for the advice. all the best, my friend.

Re: Turks

As we talked before and as the article suggests as well, Turks of Turkey bear ethnic diversity. If it was about the Turkic people then it should consist of all Turkic people in the world. But no, it is about Turkish people, citizens of Turkey therefore in my opinion it should consist of all of them. I've seen French people article, it says:

"The French people (French: les Français, which etymologically derives from the word Franks, a Germanic tribe which overan Gaul at the end of the Roman empire) are the sovereign people of France, composed of all French citizens, regardless of ethnic origins or religious opinions."

I've seen Spanish people article and the number consists of whole population of Spain, regardless of their Basque or Catalan origin. Same in the Greeks article. Why is it on Turkish people article this distinction is trying to be made? We don't even know the exact number of Kurds in Turkey or how many of those ethnically Kurd actually consider themselves Kurd, how can you make informative articles based on unofficial assumptions? We should rewrite the article in this manner, regardless of their ethnic origins or religious opinions every citizen of Turkey is considered a Turk.--Kagan the Barbarian 11:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The result of this is Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/French people was keep therefore you are not making any point. We can also say there are more than 0 Algerians in France, right? Citizen of Turkey is a Turk, it is as simple as that. I am asking the article to be about citizens of Turkey, not the ethnic group. There are millions of Albanians and Bosniaks in this country, why should we make an exception for Kurds? You don't even know how many people in Turkey consider themselves Kurds. Excuse my terminology but this is bullshit information.--Kagan the Barbarian 18:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Khoi, don't play with words, the result was keep whether with consensus or not. And an article about ethnic Turks? Excuse me but how do you define an ethnic Turk? Shouldn't it then consist of other Turkic people of the world? If it is only about Turkey then isn't every citizen of Turkey a Turk? You are only extracting the so-called number of Kurds from the Turkish population and declare it to be number of Turkish people in Turkey? As we say in Turkish, if you spit upside there is the moustache, if you spit downwards there is the beard. I think we need a nuke to bring back order to these articles, they are too messed up, I can't even care anymore. Anyway, kolay gelsin.--Kagan the Barbarian 18:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Bormalagurski

Suggesting the possibility that one account is the sock-puppet of another is not a personal attack. This sort of hypersensitivity is blocking Misplaced Pages up with absurd accusations and counter-accusations. I notice also that those who are thus hypersensitive tend to be the more uncivil editors, as with Bormalagursk. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

A belated note

Hi there Khoikhoi- a belated note of apology for missing out on your recent RFA, which I did not become aware of until it was all over. I would have gladly supported it, as I would any future nomination. Never mind, and keep up the great work you are doing around here - see you around! Cheers, --cjllw | TALK 01:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome, my friend. I have been spending a little time in going through a bunch of Spanish geography-related articles, mainly as a not-too-taxing diversion and for a change of pace- I lived there for about a year and was recently reminded of my time there- when looking up a few of the places there seemed to be little consistency and variable content in these articles, and so the area seemed ripe for some revision and reorganising. Saludos, --cjllw | TALK 02:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I suppose I have thought about it, and thanks, but have been reasonably content to apply myself to editing. Ask me again in a couple of weeks, at the moment my availability is a little too sporadic to concentrate on a nomination. Cheers, --cjllw | TALK 03:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Adana

Thanks for the note, I have added a few more sources. I didn't realize there could be much dispute about this but some people still think the sun goes round the earth (doesn't it?) and that the check really is in the mail. :-) I have run across you a few times here as I am trying to populate the categories from Smith's Classical Geography (see my subpage re:same) and put info from the Catholic or Jewish encyclopedias (if there were a public domain Muslim one, I'd add from that too) and from some of the more extensive articles on some of these subjects that can be found in the Catalan or French WP (I can read both no problem) and from the Greek WP (more difficult for me to read -- I need a dictionary for every 3rd word or so). Next time you are nominated for RfA, let me know, I'd support you. Maybe someone someday would nominate me, but I spend too much time on CfD's and AfD's and find myself in a minority of one too often. Carlossuarez46 20:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Emily Zilch

We should ask Emily about this.

I personally never asked Emily about these edits, but it looks like shes using the professional syntax used by linguists and language historians. i.o.w they are technically accurate. For example the Al-fehrest should indeed be transliterated "al-fihrist" as she has corrected.

Obviously however, the transliterations are not what the populace is used to. But I wasnt too much picky on it because edits like these dont last very long anyway, because people dont like seeing those weird characters, even if they are correct. For example, she edited the entire Shiraz article that way. But as you can see now, almost nothing of it remains.

I think, it wont hurt to let her do those edits. It's fine with me, as far as my opinion goes.--Zereshk 00:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

List of Arab scientists and scholars

Dear Khoikhoi, most of the scientists and scholars I listed in List of Arab scientists and scholars are Arabs. And if not, then they are most probably arabs. And if not, then they are arab by culture. I have already added a note on the main article that says: By "Arab", it should not be understood as a strictly ethnically term, but rather a cultural term..

May I also point out that half of the scientists and scholars in List of Iranian scientists and scholars are actually Arab or People with disputed ethnicity. For example Geber, Alhazen, Al-Khwarizmi and Al-karkhi. ] 06:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

hey Khoikhoi, looking through the editings of ManiF, I am sure he won't accept any comprmise. It would be great if we had more neutral observers to resolve this issue. Jidan 07:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I have already contacted the neutral users you told me. Jidan 14:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Assyrian diaspora

Hi! i saw that u re-added Makronisos in the section about Greece. this way the readers will believe that there is an assyrian community in the island. i would really have no problem if there was (at least it would be better for the island to have inhabitants, instead of been a useless rock in the Aegean!), but the island is totally uninhabitant, as its respective article also says. --Hectorian 00:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

hehe...Saronikos is the name of the gulf south of Athens:).i will remove it.btw,check your mail. --Hectorian 01:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Muslim scientists

I thought it was obvious and no one had opposed while the 'opposition' knew about it so I thought it was fair. --Kash 10:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

He\She knows about the situation, I am not sure why you are telling me to do something?! I can not force someone to do something I don't agree with! --Kash 18:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Geographic names

Hi Khoikhoi. I want to discuss with you the situation with naming issues in Nakhichevan article. I’m still not sure what the rules are and how strictly they are observed. As you explained to me, all the historical names should be included, but what to do in cases, when there are too many of such names? Do we need to mention them all or just the most relevant ones? Can I also include the Azeri names in the articles about Armenian cities or the rule is applied to Azeri and Turkish cities only? Golbez suggested I start an RFC, because this issue is not so clear. I’m not so much experienced in this procedure, so I would appreciate any assistance from your side. I think it is important to clarify this issue to prevent new edit wars in the future.

Soggy biscuit

Hallo- I noticed that you posted a 'Delete' vote on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Soggy biscuit (2). I have recently posted some new material that I feel satisfies the requirement for WP:N and WP:V- hopefully you may feel the same. In any event, best wishes and apologies for the intrusion.

Greetings, been a while!

Hey Khoikhoi, sorry for the really really late reply. I've been busy with 2 jobs and things have been hectic. I got some downtime and saw your posting. I see you have been keeping up things and making wikipedia better. The barnstars sure have multiplied since I was last here. My email address is tombseye(at)hotmail.com for whatever it was you wanted to send to me. Later. Tombseye 20:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Take the fake information off the flag in Kurdistan

The Kurdish flag is not a crime to fly in Iran. Remove Iran. The verifications are phoney too. Does anybody here check the Bull that is passed as fact or verification??? The sources are blank pages or other such garbage that does not talk about either Kurds or a Kurdish flag. 69.196.139.250 00:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
