List of Muslim reports

I think most of them actually aren't notable, barring the odd exception. a lot of these "Hadith of..." articles have been nominated for deletion before, which have been usually unsuccessful as far as i remember. it may be worth nominating the most trivial reports at least, just to see how the community feels about it. not only do most of them fail notability guidelines, it appears to be a clear violation of WP:NOT. ITAQALLAH 01:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll start with some "easy" ones and see how it goes. → AA — 08:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

also, about the improvements you are making to Fatimah, i have a few good sources on the subject, so i'll be happy to help out where i can. ITAQALLAH 01:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Bangladesh portal

Hi, I'd like to draw your attention to Bangladesh portal. I have tried to address the concerns in earlier peer review and checked the portal against Featured portal criteria. Based on this I think it is proper time to push for Featured Portal status for Bangladesh Portal, which will be an important milestone for WikiProject Bangladesh. But to achieve this I need help from you. Please participate in the on-going discussion on the talk page and give me your valuable inputs.-Arman Aziz 03:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Misplaced Pages project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 05:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

AfD

AA, you might be interested to see this and this. Thank you for revisiting this issue. Itaqallah and ALM have indicated some interest in this as well.Proabivouac 11:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointers. I totally agree with your sentiments on the AfD page. → AA — 11:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Abu Usamah

Hello, I reverted that addition because it had no references, no edit summury, and it is a controversial topic where vandalism is not obvious. I told the user who added that to look for sources. Finally, the user had been added the exact same thing in many pages. Note that I did not warn her for vandalism, but for adding unsourced claims in controversial topics. I hope you understand, Brusegadi 22:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Fatimah

Sorry for being so slow on the Fatimah article, life comes at you fast sometimes. I'll go over and take a look at it right now iA. MezzoMezzo 14:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Good save on my talk page. Honestly i'm not even sure what he was upset about, i've never encountered that user before. MezzoMezzo 14:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Could be something to do with the edits on Barelwi and possible a sock of one of the editors there. → AA — 14:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:

AA, we can't put all the conflicts behind if you insist on distorting the truth on how Fatima died. I'll try to contact other editors and write another version, and maybe then we could reach a consensus and show both points of view. _Sonn 15:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Klaksonn, please copy and paste the sentence/para into the review section and put forward what you think is wrong with it. I have tried my utmost to ensure it is balanced. The Shia view in the death section is taken from Fatima the Gracious. Honestly, I am not trying to push my or Sunni views but trying to keep it neutral - the article would (with a little tweaking) pass the GA criteria. Could you give me an opportunity to address your concerns? Please discuss which bits you aren't happy with in the talk page. Thanks. → AA — 15:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:WP Bangladesh

Can you help to add a "geography work group" parameter to the template leading to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Bangladesh/Geography Workgroup, like it was done for the history workgroup? Aditya 18:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if you require anything further. The category needs to be created once there are sufficient articles in there. → AA — 21:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Fatimah moved from sandbox

User:QuakeSim

This user has already been notified of the AfD. This user has already been notified that the AfD has closed. User:Jreferee's notice was redundant and confusing - especially to a new user. His insistance on reposting it - especially after the my explanation on his talk page - is highly inappropriate. Rklawton 20:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The QuakeSim AfD was open today and closed an hour later. My use of the AfD warning notification ten hours after the AfD was closed was a resonable mistake, and an apparent one at that. The posts on my talk page today stated that "the 1st only closed just this week" which was misleading and that the AfD notification was posted today when the AfD was closed yesterday, which was not true. It also is not true that I reposted the AfD warning after Rklawton explained that the notice was redundant and confusing. And three minutes after I am asked to only discuss the matter on my talk page, the above post was made. Hopefully, this AA meeting ends the matter. -- Jreferee 21:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It was good faith mistakes all round :) I can understand Rklawton's comments about the "1st AfD" as I also thought it may have been re-nominated and had to double check the article to see if a new tag was there and also the AfD list. But I can also understand, your assumption that a notice was not given since the earlier one did not use the standard template. Just goes to prove that things can certainly be calmed down by following the correct cycle; Be Bold, Revert with explanation, Discuss. At the end of the day, this should be a piece of cake for QuakeSim (from NASA) to quickly get to grips with. I mean it's not rocket science :o → AA — 21:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yup - except we were a bit short on the discussion end of things. A bit of checking before reverting on Jreferee's part would have cut all this short. To wit:

• The AfD was opened yesterday diff
• The user was notified yesterday by the nominating editor diff
• The AfD was closed yesterday diff
• Jreferee's notice to the user was posted today diff
• Jreferee is then notified the AfD has already closed diff
• Jreferee reposts the notice anyway diff
• Jreferee is told posting a notice about a closed AfD isn't appropriatediff
• Jreferee reposts the notice again diff

That should clear things up a bit. Rklawton 21:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Today is 14 August 2007. From you own diff, the AfD was opened today at 00:58, 14 August 2007 diff and closed today at 01:54, 14 August 2007diff My notifications to QuakeSim's talk page were posted on 14 August 2007. Stating things happened "yesterday" and "today" is not true. Posting a notice about a closed AfD was a mistake by me. QuakeSim would have recognized that mistake because he was already notified the AfD was closed (as you acknowledge), the links provided in my posting were to that closed AfD, and he is a rocket scientist or at least knows one. Your deletion of my post on another's talk page was inappropriate and could have been handled merely by posting a reply that the AfD was closed. I restored the AfD notification and was in the process of posting such a reply on User:QuakeSim' stalk page when AA's posting of a similar note on QuakeSim's talk page cause an edit conflict, which messed with my computer and caused me to have to reboot. You asked AA for assistance, AA restored my QuakeSim talk page post and added a reply similar to what I was attempting to add. You then deleted AA's post and my post.. I hope your experience on Misplaced Pages is not like this everyday. Mine certainly is not. Best of luck. -- Jreferee 22:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

This episode has closed and further discussion will not be productive, so can I suggest that we all move on please. Thanks. → AA — 22:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sylhet

Thanks sir for ur comments.I didnt find any reference for 2007 census.Last census was in 2001.So i replaced that.If you find any reference for recent census plz let me kno.thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Classicbanna (talk • contribs) 15:26, 15 August 2007.

You are correct. There wasn't a 2007 census but a link to the World Gazetteer (see this link) which only gives the population count though (not the density details). → AA — 15:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

good work

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		For your generally high-quality editing, vandal-fighting, and successfully dealing with the endless forks in the form of "Hadith of..." articles. Well done! ITAQALLAH 14:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Can I cosign that?Proabivouac 12:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks guys. Just doing my bit to keep WP tidy. :) → AA — 10:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Muhammad

His reputation is already mentioned. There is no need to emphasize it, just like we don't emphasize his negative traits. Also "Muhammad delivered Qur'anic verses which permitted the Muslims to fight the Meccans" adds nothing; it is a sly way of saying "Allah told them to attack to it's alright." Otherwise it adds nothing. Almost all of the rest of the edit (which I don't think you've looked at in detail) restores sourced facts that were removed with completely dishonest edit summaries. I will retain "A few weeks after the Battle of Badr, Muhammad expelled Banu Qaynuqa from Medina. He also made mutual-aid alliances with a number of Bedouin tribes to protect his community from attacks from the northern part of Hijaz." as it is the only addition worth considering. You are also free to read the satanic verses discussion on the talk before taking a stand. Arrow740 16:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Unlinking redirects

I've just reread your message and I thought I might like to know why I did that. Well, I didn't exactly do it. It's TWINKLE that does it, and as it is a link in Mainspace, it automatically unlinks it. Maxim 19:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

My incorrect AFD

Ya i would appreciate help, I don't know how to nominate the routes on a new page?? Cheers Thenthornthing 22:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for help, i've done it but i've messed something up somewhere, if you could fix it i'd be very grateful :d Cheers Thenthornthing 22:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Cheers anyway Thenthornthing 08:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Brother, if you please visit to following page and take necessary action it will enrich article about Sylhet.

Jaflong

Thanks.

Can you lend a hand?

I just came across {{Upgrading needed}}. Can we have something in the similar line for Bangladesh articles? May be Arman can help as well. {{Film More Information}} may be worth taking a look as well. Aditya 05:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
