Hi! I just noticed that [[Paul Anka]] is categorised as a "Canadian of Syrian descent" (and not as a "Canadian of Lebanese descent"). I know you and I discussed this a few weeks ago and you added a very helpful note to the text. I was about to delete the category, but thought I would touch base with you about it first.--[[User:Vbd|Vbd]] ([[User talk:Vbd|talk]]) 07:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== We need you back ==
:Hi, Anas -- I noticed this discussion thread earlier and seeing this note reminded me of some thoughts I had had in between. It seems that if one were looking historically, anyone with Lebanese heritage would by definition have to have Syrian heritage as they were historically the same country (Syria) under the Ottoman Empire (until about WWI and shortly thereafter). The tricky part comes because, of the 5 countries that were formed out of the Syrian territory, only in Lebanon was there "a clear and almost immediate sense of 'special nationality'," in part because of the presence of the Maronites (claiming to be descended from ancient Phoenicians and not Arabs) and the Christians there. So perhaps, especially if Anka's descent was through an Arab line, one might easily say that he was of "Lebanese (and thus historically Syrian) lineage"? If he comes from a non-Arab line, the politics of identification as Lebanese rather than Syrian might suggest not making the extension to Syria. (good article on history at http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/900/902/Kamal-Salibi/ -- I looked in a number of places and this one seemed clearer than most others; you might find it a bit simplistic as you are probably already familiar with the history)[[User:SwanSZ|Cyg-nifier]] 17:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Anas, I know you might be so busy with life matters, but I thought to thank you for your previous contributions and all the hard work you have done on Syrian villages and towns. We need your active, or semi-active:), participation with us here. Salam. [[User:عمرو بن كلثوم|Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم]] ([[User talk:عمرو بن كلثوم|talk]]) 04:26, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 
== Barnstar time!Contests ==
[[User:Dr. Blofeld]] has created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests]]. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 01:11, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

:Hi Makalp, Merhaba and welcome to our ranks! I'd like to keep the template in my user page as it is to be used in our small WikiProject and not ''really'' worth moving to the template space. But, if you insist, I will move it myself after some other additions and modifications. As for the districts-related and the like templates, it is quite early for our WikiProject. This is because many major cities have no articles yet and most have no maps, etc. Thanks for your offer to help man, I will get back to you when the time is right. —[[User:Anas Salloum|<font color="Black">'''''A''n</font><font color=#808080>as'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Anas Salloum|<font size="-4">talk'''?'''</font>]]</sup> 12:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Khalil-Mardam.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Khalil-Mardam.jpg|image description page]].
 
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

Hello Anas, I was wondering if you could help me out on a page, [[Ridvan]]. The page has some Arabic script that appears right-to-left on Firefox, but left-to-right in IE. I've tried fixing the problem by switching into IE, and rewriting the script there, but then that messes up the Firefox version. Have you seen this before? Can you help out?

Hello there... I'm in the process of redesigning my user page ([[User:Tariqabjotu/Redesign]]) and I wanted to have the first paragraph of my user page ("Tariqabjotu ...

If you are willing and able to provide a translation, that would be great (respond here or on my talk page or wherever).

A tag has been placed on [[:Communications and Information Technology Commission (Saudi Arabia)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be an unambiguous [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|copyright infringement]]. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.lusha.com/business/a0bb86555ef5f6a8/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.
 
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]] for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia's copyright policy]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]].
Thanks for your reply on my previous msg.
 
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Communications and Information Technology Commission (Saudi Arabia)|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:MarcGarver|MarcGarver]] ([[User talk:MarcGarver|talk]]) 15:14, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

:In order to keep these files, you should release them under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Free licenses|free license]]. The best free license to choose, in my opinion, is the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5. To use this license, just tag your article with <nowiki>{{Cc-by-sa-2.5|Attribution}}</nowiki> and replace ''Attribution'' with the website/person you wish to be attributed to when reused elsewhere. This license allows others to use the image for free anywhere as long as they attribute it to you or your website. I would also suggest that you indicate in every image's summary that Latifa herself owns the copyrights and has personally allowed you to use them under the free license in Wikipedia. If there are any album pictures, you can release them under fair use licenses, because I think that she doesn't own the copyrights, but the label companies like [[Rotana]] do; such images should be released under a fair use license, in this case a <nowiki>{{Non-free album cover}}</nowiki> tag should suffice in addition to your source, of course. Your images should be very safe now.

==Syria district maps==
Hi there Rarelibra. Well, I was talking with a [[User:Baristarim|friend]] of mine on maps, and he told me about you. Browsing through your map work and user page, I think you're the guy we're looking for. We, in the fairly new [[WP:SY|WikiProject Syria]], are looking for maps of the [[districts of Syria|60 districts]] of the 13 [[governorates of Syria]]. They're actually 14 governorates, but [[Damascus]] already has a map. I don't know if you are busy or have higher priorities in this time, but I would really appreciate if you can do us this favor. I don't know if you're going to be able to find the needed map resources, because I couldn't. If you can, I would like it if the maps used uniform colors. Again, I'm busy myself and would be fine waiting for the maps, so take your time. :-) Let me know if you can help. —[[User:Anas Salloum|<font color="Black">'''''A''n</font><font color=#808080>as'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Anas Salloum|<font size="-4">talk'''?'''</font>]]</sup> 14:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 
:You have chosen one of the most difficult countries on the planet to get mapping information or any references. I combed all kinds of resources, and come up missing every time. Do you know of any resources at all that we could get any kind of map to use as a guide for the various districts? If so, I can definitely help you create your maps! :) [[User:Rarelibra|Rarelibra]] 06:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 
::Major bummer. I have a perfect map resource for a few governorates. We need 13 maps, and I will try to get some resources you can use. For now, I found the [http://idlib.org/images/photo/idlibmap.jpg map of the districts] of [[Idlib Governorate]]. It's in Arabic, so just leave the names for me. I will look for other maps and return back.

Maybe I'm not going to need any names. I might use markers and labels for every district in an infobox, much like how the folks did it in [[Template:Infobox Indian Jurisdiction]]. The map looks good, thanks a lot. I might make some modifications in the future to the maps you create, I hope that will be fine with you. I found a [http://project.jica.go.jp/syria/4425009E0/image/map.gif map] of the districts of [[Aleppo Governorate]]. However, I think that there is an error in the map; the district labeled "Aleppo city" includes the one labeled "Samaan", i.e. both are one district. I am still trying to look for the remaining maps!

:Thanks man! Of course none of this would've happened if it weren't for your help and skills. This is ''exactly'' why I love Wikipedia. :-) Concerning the other maps, I've spent some 6 hours searching yesterday; it's hopeless. I contacted a bunch of Syrian websites requesting some help. I don't trust I'll receive any help but would sure love to. It's really sad how weak Syrian-related coverage is online. At worst, I will buy some maps and books in my (probably last) visit to Syria this summer. —[[User:Anas Salloum|<font color="Black">'''''A''n</font><font color=#808080>as'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Anas Salloum|<font size="-4">talk'''?'''</font>]]</sup> 15:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

..We got 'em! I almost gave up hope, so I was searching online today, trying all kinds of search strategies, and of course, found nothing. I accidentally clicked on the CBS-SYR (Central Bureau of Statistics) in my bookmarks folder, and what I immediately noticed was the new design and the major overhaul in the website. I had visited it yesterday night and there was nothing. I immediately started looking for any helpful new additions, and there they were: every districts map we need! They're heaven-sent. Here they are:
* [http://www.cbssyr.org/images/mohafazat%20jpg/subdamas.jpg Districts] of [[Rif Dimashq]]
* [http://www.cbssyr.org/images/mohafazat%20jpg/qunaitra.jpg Districts] of [[Quneitra Governorate]]

== Middle East maps ==
 
Hi Rarelibra. I searched for maps for the subdivisions of Egypt. In Egypt, a governorate has several regions (''markaz'') and each has several cities and districts. There are 166 regions in the 27 governorates of Egypt. The capital governorate, Al-Qahira (Cairo), has no regions. I've found four ready and perfect maps in Commons:
*Al Fayyum - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Fayoum.svg
*Ad Daqahliyah - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Dakahliya.svg
*Kafr ash Shaykh - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Kafr_El-Shiekh.svg
*Al Buhayrah - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Behiera.svg
 
Here is a list of the maps of all the remaining governorates, except Cairo of course:

However, in those maps, the regions, their capital cities, and some districts are all together shown, so it is quite chaotic. Maybe you can contact [[User:Mohammed Khalil]], the creator of the maps from Commons, to ask him where he might have got the maps. As for the labels, that will be a little too difficult and strenuous for me. To get the names, I would have to go through the pain of finding the standard English transliteration of the name, and believe you me, that is ''not'' easy. [http://www.geonames.de/coueg-sub.html This] might be helpful.
 
'''Iraq''''s district maps can be found in the [[Districts of Iraq]] article. '''Bahrain''''s municipalities are [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bahrain_municipalities_numbered.png here]. In '''Libya''', the second-level administrative divisions are cities, not regions or districts; this is the case in '''Qatar''' too, where every municipality has one city. In the '''United Arab Emirates''', every emirate has a capital city and many towns; some have exclaves. Tunisia, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia remain. I can't promise you anything. Honestly, I think I won't have the time to find them, if they are anywhere online. Got to go now.

I cannot believe this McTrixie character that accused me of racism in my maps. What has wiki come to when you can ''accuse'' someone of something like '''racism''' within maps? :( This is too much. [[User:Rarelibra|Rarelibra]] 17:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 
:A totally separate WTF. I have been concentrating my energies elsewhere for the time being, and encountered a problem on [[talk:Treaty of Ghent]]. For some reason, the last editor's post there appears unsigned, even though the "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" is there. There's a two-word bit of minor vandalism at the bottom that doesn't appear on the page at all, and any new additions fail to save. The main article page appears OK, and I could edit there - it's just some hiccup on the discussion page. I was hoping my welcoming-guardian-angel-main source of advice (that should be a barn-leaf... for Canadians...) could help. What is up with that? [[User:Esseh|Esseh]] 02:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
