'''Diavik Airport''' {{Airport codes|||CDK2}}, is a private aerodrome in the [[Northwest Territories]], [[Canada]] that serves the [[Diavik Diamond Mine]]. It's situated in a busy area due to the closeness of [[Ekati Airport]]. Prior permission is required to land except in the case of an emergency.

== Mecca -- Makkah ==

[[Category:Airports in the Northwest Territories]]

{{NorthwestTerritories-airport-stub}}

Pepsidrinka, Makkah may be a better transliteration of the name of the city in Arabic, but Mecca is now the accepted English name. It is quite common for various languages to have different names for one city. The Brits call it London, the French call it Londres, etc. In this case, Mecca is so widely used and understood that using Makkah is just going to confuse readers. Please don't change the name in the articles you edit.

[[lmo:Diavik Airport]]

Otherwise, I appreciate many of the edits you're making. It's possible that we're not always going to see eye to eye <g>, but at the moment, any help in keeping articles truly NEUTRAL in Sunni-Shi'a disputes is appreciated. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 22:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC) (a non-Muslim -- a Buddhist, in fact)

[[pms:Diavik Airport]]

== Arabic transliteration ==

I agree that Wikipedia is extremely inconsistent in its use of transliterated Arabic. One of the problems, I gather from reading prefaces to scholarly works, is that there are several transliteration schemes in use. Another problem is that it takes some extra work to add all the necessary notation and a bunch of us lazy editors (like me) often don't bother. It could be argued that a great many Arabic names or words have been Anglicized, and that Muhammad, say, is now an English name and doesn't need to be marked up. Of course, maybe that's just laziness.

I wish I could help with this, but I'm at the state of ''intending to learn Arabic'' -- as soon as I can afford Rosetta Stone, for a start. Perhaps we should have a Project Arabic notice board (or some appropriate name -- it shouldn't assume that all Arabic speakers are Muslim, or speak the same dialect of colloquial Arabic) at which Arabic-speaking editors could gather, decide on one transliteration scheme to be used throughout Wikipedia, and then try to make sure that every Arabic name or term has, at least once in every article, a proper transliteration and a version in Arabic script. I'm not sure I would want to try to enforce it on every use of every word, but at least ONCE when it's used in an article would make sure that we're all talking about the same person or the same word, as well as helping Arabic-speakers for whom English is a second language. Your thoughts? [[User:Zora|Zora]] 01:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

== Editing the "Shi'a point of view" articles ==

Pepsidrinka, all those articles were created by Striver. Their status is unclear at the moment. A couple were put up for deletion, but kept -- it is HARD to delete anything on Wikipedia. However, a number of people, including some important admins, have said that POV forks (creating an article just so you can rant without anyone criticizing you) should not be allowed in Wikipedia. I'm ignoring the articles, since any work on them will lead to revert wars with Striver AND because improving them would make them more respectable and persuasive. If they're left as Striver wrote them, any intelligent person finding them is going to dismiss them.

Of course, I could be wrong. I often am :)

== [[Muhammad Rafi Usmani]] ==

I fixed it since I can do move and delete. I'm not sure about the subject but it might be good to make sure others agree with your new naming. [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] 03:19, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

== Babel templates ==

<!--{{Babel-2|ar|en}}-->

Dear Pepsidrinka -- as an Arabic-speaker, you have a skill that is in short supply on the English-language Wikipedia. You might want to put up a Babel template on your user page. I've put up an example. Let's see, I think the source code you would want would be:

<!--<nowiki>{{Babel-2|ar|en}}</nowiki>-->

Dunno what other language you speak, and you may want to adjust the English and Arabic levels -- I'm guessing at your proficiencies and your background. Frex, if you're a native English speaker but your Arabic is only near-native, you'd put this:

<!--{{Babel-2|ar-1|en}}-->

If you increase the languages from 2, change the source code from Babel-2 to Babel-X, X being the number of languages you're going to list. Contact me if you need help. I'm an ''expert'' <g>, having finally figured it out. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 04:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

: PS -- delete that Babel template once you've set up your own. By posting it, apparently I've enrolled you as a native English and Arabic speaker! [[User:Zora|Zora]] 04:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

== Rewrites at two articles ==

If you can take a break from the unrelenting Christmas cheer, you might want to check out the work I did on [[Hijab]] and [[Abu Dharr]]. Happy holidays! [[User:Zora|Zora]] 07:50, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

== US School Stub Info ==

*I have started to create sub categories for all 50 states as discussed [[Category_talk:US_school_stubs|here]]. Could you help me move schools to their proper states? --[[User:R6MaY89|R6MaY89]] 04:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

**I noticed that you started moving schools over. Thanks a lot. I'll try to create Categories and Templates for all of the other states. --[[User:R6MaY89|R6MaY89]] 04:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

***Sure, I'll create the rest. I'll do NY, PA, VA now, but give me 48 hours or so for the rest.

****Finished all the ones you mentioned. NJ, NY, PA are the most needed i think. let's populate them! i'll do the rest when i can; thanks for reminding me.

==re salah==

we can always mention that hanfis consider them two different prayers while others consider them one . Or may be we can merge both of them in one . No problem . [[user:Farhansher|<font color="blueviolet">'''F.a.y.'''</font>]]^{[[user talk:Farhansher|<font color="darkorange">تبادله خيال</font>]]} <small>^{^{[[Special:Contributions/Farhansher|<font color="slategray">'''''/c'''''</font>]]}}</small> 22:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

== Abu Jahl ==

If there's an article on Abu Jahl, his contribution to the Battle of Badr should go there.

I understand that in later years it was so prestigious to have been at the Battle of Badr that many men claimed to have been there. Muhammad must have set out with a force numbering many many thousands to accomodate all the boasters <g>. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 01:56, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

== We don't capitalize "prophet" in front of Muhammad ==

If we give Muhammad the title "Prophet Muhammad", it implies that Wikipedia recognizes him as a true prophet. We don't, because that would be POV. It has been a long-standing policy to remove all PBUHs and to decapitalize "prophet". In fact, I had somewhat of a struggle with a militant secularist over the use of the term prophet to refer to Muhammad. He thought that endorsed Muhammad and I argued that to use prophet without a cap just said that he held the role of prophet for his followers, which was not necessarily an endorsement.

Old argument, but let's try to keep it neutral. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 02:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

: Then someone has messed with the manual of style -- we discussed this matter at the Village Pump, on the policy page, and consensus was for the de-capped prophet. No one brought up the manual of style then, which suggests to me that this business wasn't there. If it was, it should be changed. Danged if I'll write "Prophet Muhammad". [[User:Zora|Zora]] 02:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The Muslim editors want to capitalize Prophet, ignoring a consensus that has held for months. I don't see any non-Muslim editors but Tznkai (sp?) arguing for caps. If you insist on non-Muslim editors "honoring" Muhammad according to your strictures, you're just setting yourself up for a backlash.

I'll try raising this on the Village Pump again. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 00:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== BC/AD, BCE/CE ==

Pepsidrinka, you're new, and you keep wandering into OLD controversies, and asserting your POV as if "Well, of course I'm right!" There are some people -- like me -- who feel that BCE/CE is more NPOV and better to use. I don't go round Wikipedia changing dates on random articles, but when I start an article, or do a major revision, I use BCE/CE. Usually non-Christian editors (like me) prefer that. I'm somewhat surprised that you feel so strongly about using BC/AD. In any case, this is a controversial issue on Wikipedia, with strong views on each side. We've had vicious revert wars and one editor, jguk, was sanctioned and left Wikipedia over this issue. The rule of thumb people use now is "whatever date scheme the creator of the article used OR what most of the repeat editors prefer". I wrote the Aisha article and prefer CE; I think most of the other editors would agree with me -- but I could be wrong. But are you sure you want to argue about this in the middle of the other battle, with the editors accusing Muhammad of being a pedophile? Resolve that one first and then we can argue AD/CE. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 23:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

== Fair is fair ==

I just looked at the page for [[Shakyamuni]] and it redirects to [[Gautama Buddha]]. Shakyamuni is throughout called "the Buddha". Against my own rules. Do you want to revise the article? It's aggressively Buddhist. <g> [[User:Zora|Zora]] 00:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

==Proposed merge==

I propose merging [[Islamist terrorism]] into [[Militant Islam]] , [[Dar al-Harb]] into [[Dar al Islam]] & [[Offensive jihad]] into [[Combative jihad]], please comment if you have thoughts on the matter . Thanks . [[user:Farhansher|<font color="blueviolet">'''F.a.y.'''</font>]]^{[[user talk:Farhansher|<font color="darkorange">تبادله خيال</font>]]} <small>^{^{[[Special:Contributions/Farhansher|<font color="slategray">'''''/c'''''</font>]]}}</small> 21:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

== IN a cave ==

That was a braino. Thanks for fixing it. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 03:19, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

== Re: "Trinity" concept in the [[Jesus]] article ==

I'm not sure I agree with you, but I will defer. Make the change you feel appropo. [[User:KHM03|KHM03]] 18:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

== CE ==

I saw you added CE to [[Battle of Yarmuk]]... I was wondering why? Typically if the date has no AD or CE it means common era... and it just brings us back into the God forsaken CE / AD debate... may I recommend not adding that to articles? (Unless you have a good reason in which case could you tell me... I thought it generally accepted to leave years alone). [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] 21:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

:I wouldn't worry about undoing it... I just wouldn't do it anymore? It's not wrong... but, it's unnecessary since if it's linked it definitely goes to a common era date. It's also easier to me and since we don't have a set AD vs. CE policy per se... there's really no contention about neither. I suppose you probably didn't see some of the arguing about it. :) [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] 03:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abu Jahl's contribution to the battle of Badr 2]] ==

So its gonna be fun tomorrow . cheers . [[user:Farhansher|<font color="blueviolet">'''F.a.y.'''</font>]]^{[[user talk:Farhansher|<font color="darkorange">تبادله خيال</font>]]} <small>^{^{[[Special:Contributions/Farhansher|<font color="slategray">'''''/c'''''</font>]]}}</small> 20:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

== Dates ==

I think those dates are all useless. We don't have any in depth analysis of any day... because there never really has been a study of a day that I know of. I think they should be deleted, however, I think they need to go for AfD probably. Just to set precedent. [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] ^{[[Wikipedia:Limited administrators|?]]} 19:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

== Events with the Sahaba ==

Why didn't I press to have these deleted? Because I was exhausted, that's why. It took Striver 5 minutes to create an article and everyone else days and weeks to get rid of it. Also, because my record with getting Striver's ridiculous articles deleted was only 50-50. There is a strong "inclusionist" tendency among certain repeat voters on AfDs. They want things kept; they seem to believe there's nothing that can't be salvaged with a little editorial attention. They're not prepared to GIVE it that attention, NO. That's up to the rest of us, working day and night to deal with the tide of cruft.

Grump. Snarl. AARGGH!

Still, it's nice that Striver is gone. I hope he stays away. Pray for it. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 05:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

== Jesus' legacy ==

I explained it the first time I put it in - Jesus' legacy is mixed, and for the article to be NPOV compliant it must discuss the mixed legacy. [[User:Slrubenstein|Slrubenstein]] | [[User talk:Slrubenstein|Talk]] 15:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== Jihad Watch/Dhimmi Watch ==

Legally I think that if that's our main conent it would be unwise to try it. If it was an important paragraph integrated into a larger article I think you have more legitimacy because it's not using their content as your sole content. I'd say it's a bad idea just for reasons of NPOV though. If our article is mainly their wording then that's not good. In a larger context of a well written article I think it could be justified. The way you said it led me to believe that you mean just copying paragraphs for conent. It may not be copyrighted but I tend to assume that everything is unless otherwise stated. It seems to be more safe that way and also forces us to write under our guidelines of NPOV which other sites dont have.

== Thanks for the welcome ==

Pepsidrinka, thanks for the welcome. And i hope this is the right place to be saying this :). I noticed that you have a wiki:babel link on your user page. I would like to do the same. Are there any topics in need of creation/addition/etc. especially those that need the arabic language? Again thanks for the welcome. wilis.azm[[User:Wilis.azm|Wilis.azm]] 00:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== disambiguation ==

I've added arabic to sibt ibn al jawzi, but I notice that [[Ibn al jawzi]] still points directly to him, not to his grandfather [[abu al-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzi]](whose article I have added) I searched on how to change this and havent been successful. Any ideas? [[User:Wilis.azm|Wilis.azm]] 04:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== [[Muawiyah I]] ==

A new user has added Arabic. It seems like too much writing for just Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan. Could you check and make sure that it isn't some Shi'a cursing out Mu'awiyah?

Yeah, yeah, I'm learning Arabic, theoretically, but I stalled out after the first few letters of the alphabet. I need a 48 hour day. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 05:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

: Thank you! [[User:Zora|Zora]] 05:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

: Zora, its not some shiah cursing out Muawiyah, the eng would go like this (muawiyah ibn abi sufyan al ummawi al qurashi) basically I added the "ummayid Quraishite" which is standard in arabic biographies of the classic type to differentiate between similar names shared across tribes. [[User:Wilis.azm|Wilis.azm]] 06:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== A Question ==

Hi Pepsidrinka,

I added the following passage to the "Criticism of Islam" article part "Domestic violence" ( based on what I found in http://www.islamawareness.net/Wife/beating1.html.)

"Some other scholars argue that the Arabic word used in 4:34 is "idribuhunna" is derived from "daraba" which literally means "beat", or "go abroad", or "give" in the sense to give or provide an example. Thus the word "idribuhunna" could mean to "leave" them. They add that for example in the same chapter the word "darabtum", which is derived from the word "daraba", is used to mean to "go abroad"."

I am not good in arabic, but could you please check whether the logic makes sense or not. I am not confident.

You reverted over my edit. I can understand. Yes, it was sarcastic and perhaps unecessary. I am still trying to get the vandalist thrill out of my system. Obviously I am a very mature and serious adult. Oh yes, indeedy.

== List of ship decommissionings in XXXX ==

Thanks for helping out with a ships project. I have responded in length to [[User_talk:Joshbaumgartner#List_of_ship_decommissionings_by_year|your posting to me on my talk page]]. I think the [[list of decommissioned ships]] idea is great, but please do not remove the yearly listings, as they have many entries to be added and should not be judged by their current size. Thanks!

== Fair use images ==

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia. Fairuse images are best avoided as it defeats our primary goal of free content. ''Pakistan'' is a vast topic that can definately garner free images.

Fair use images should be used as a last option eg. if the pic is of a sensitive military area, and available to only the media. Secondly, many sites used wikipedia content. Since FU images are copyrighted, they would have to strip them off, again defeating the very purpose that they serve. Lastly, if free images are available, all previous FU/Non-commercial/non-derivative images will have to go.

I hope this was sufficient. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to ask. Regards, [[user:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">=Nichalp</font>]] [[User Talk:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">«Talk»=</font>]] 05:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:: Pepsidrinka, I don't mean to interject, but have you looked at http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons as a possible resource for Pakistan images? I did a quick query on Pakistan and came up with loads of images. Also, keep in mind that only Attribution and ShareAlike CreativeCommons images are free. Hope this helps.

== [[:Template:Main Pakistan]] ==

Thanks for pointing out this template. It appears it was created on 23 January by [[User:Fast Track|Fast Track]] and I haven't seen it used anywhere yet. I think it should be proposed for deletion because it is made redundant by [[:Template:Infobox Country]]. [[User:Green Giant|Green Giant]] 23:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== PAKISTAN page ==

You removed the image of Karachi from the main page of Pakistan. Could you please tell a reason? Its a shame that on the main page of Pakistan, there is no picture of the country's biggest and most economically important city! [[User:Swerveut|Swerveut]]

== Grammer help on [[History of the Pakistan Army]] Page ==

I wrote this whole article and as is obvious for a writer, he/she needs a different set of eyes to point out any flaws such as grammer errors, sentence structure problems, etc.

I would really appreciate that you could give a look through on this article and point out any flaws and correct them if you can.

== Jinnah picture ==

I am pretty sure that most pictures of Jinnah were taken in [[British India]] for which I am not sure which laws apply as the "entity" effectively ceased to exist in 1947. To be on the safe side I would go for the [[:Template:PD-Pakistan]] because the image was obtained from the Story of Pakistan website which I am guessing comes under Pakistani law. If things go pear-shaped there appears to be another image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fe/Jinnah_edited.jpg] at the Jinnah article which I would estimate to be after 1947 because it shows him when he was very old and very ill. Alternatively we could write to President Musharraf at [http://www.presidentofpakistan.gov.pk/WTPresidentMessage.aspx] and ask his permission to use an image from the government website :P .

You reverted my additions in [[Pakistan]] page while indicating that you are adding to categories deleted by another user. If you have any objections or comments please forward them to me. We can discuss them. I hope that we reach a mutally acceptabe agreement. I have reverted your changes.

KARACHI PICTURE

regarding your logic that Karachi picture isnt relevant, it shows the economic boom of Karachi by showing its downtown. People usually have the impression of Pakistan being a backward country with no infrastructure at all. The image of Karachi is infact a testament to the economic development of Pakistan. Also, since a lot of people rely on Wikipedia for their first knowledge of Pakistan, it should represent all areas of the country. And since Karachi is THE largest and most important city of Pakistan, its a MUST that there should be a picture of Karachi on the Pakistan page.

Hey Mr Pepsidrinka.. This is regarding the vote at Mosque Talk page and your comments about it.. I am new to wikipedia and my intention of putting the protected tag to the article was to "Protect it!!!" and nothing else.. And I dont think it was a wrong intention.. But I agree that I should've investigated a bit more and learnt that only sysops can protect a page.

==Under Construction==

I am in the process of a multiple-day reconstruction of this article, and placed the appropriate template on it to so indicate. Why did you remove it when it was less than 48 hours since the last edit? [[User:Robert A West|Robert A.West]] ([[User talk:Robert A West|Talk]]) 02:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

:I think you are confusing <nowiki>{{underconstruction}} with {{inuse}}</nowiki>. Given the template description, I would say that 72 hours is a lower bound for considering removing it. Certainly, 36 hours is too short. [[User:Robert A West|Robert A.West]] ([[User talk:Robert A West|Talk]]) 02:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

::I read the relevant talk page thoroughly before using the template, in no small part because I wanted to make sure I was selecting the correct template of the set. In this case, because I am expanding sections, I didn't want some other editor to look at something that is too short for a section and just compress it back while I was off checking sources, and this seemed to be within the intended use. You removed it after what I think is a too short a time for courtesy, so I let you know. As you put it, that is how wikis work. Happy editing!

:::FYI, I have removed the <nowiki>{{underconstruction}}</nowiki> tag from [[Felony murder]], as my schedule this week precluded finishing the edits I planned. I will return to it next week, I hope.

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]] instead of using simply <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>, if you can.

As promised, I am nominating you for adminship; you've deserved it. You have had a high number of edits and have contributed tirelessly throughout many articles and Wikipedia projects. I forsaked the startard nomination for adminship template because it was a little too corny for me. But it does have some important information.

Please visit [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]] to see what this process entails, and then [[User talk:Joturner|contact me]] to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Pepsidrinka]]. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that I do so.

Good luck on your request for adminship. Salaam. [[User:Joturner|joturner]] 03:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

== Siddiqui ==

Well i guess you have studied the RfC on Siddiqui. Well lemme elaborate that i am not against Muslims nor Islamophobic. Everyody has his POV. I've seen that you by far are the only person who has a degree of influence over Siddiqui. Could you impress it upon him to respect others POV and ask him to work as a team rather than unilaterally editing out Indian POVs.
