::As I told you before, I don't think they are Armenians. Do you have a source that says that they are? About the second picture, the caption clearly says a "family from Ramallah". It does not say they are Samaritans. Do you have source that says that they are? Anyway, Samaritans are Palestinian citizens and so deserve representation in the article anyway. As I wrote to you in the edit summary, if you insist on changing the picture, you can. But please move it to the place where the other picture is that you would like to use, instead of using the same picture twice and deleting that one. Thanks. ]<sup>]</sup> 13:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes samaritans are palestinian minority. a picture of the palestinian themselves not a small minority (less than 400 people-samaritans) sjould be at top. The picture was taken by the photographer of the american colony . all his pictures focus on jews samaritans and their synogoges. it seems that was his interest!.also another pivcture from his collection shows a samaritan family ( he says so) that are identical to the picrure in this article!!] (]) 01:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Revision as of 19:25, 19 February 2008
Revisions
Adnan, you are revising MORE than just the Sunni section. There are three sections -- an overview, a Sunni section, and a Shi'a section. You are revising the overview in a Sunni direction, with all sorts of argumentative additions. Zora03:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Indeed I edited the part were it says the abbasids reverted to Rashidin, and I also edited that shia contend and a group named sunni
I changed to the dominant group
( 1800 millions people) is there any thing wrong with that
do you call a 1800 millions a group?
Dominant means ruling. Large just means large. I don't think that the Shi'a would agree that the Sunni are dominant. As for groups -- it's inherently difficult to discuss this, because every single dang Muslim "group" believes that it, and it alone, constitutes the "true" Muslims, and that everyone else is a sect. Talking about this involves a lot of weasel-wording.
Now the bit re the origins of the Abbasids is relevant, but it would take a LONG time to explain properly. (They enlisted proto-Shi'a support for their revolution, and then betrayed them afterwards.) Maybe there's some way to phrase this that doesn't open up a whole can of worms. Or perhaps a link should be added. Trying to cover this topic as well as the succession to Muhammad would take the article far afield and be just too confusing to readers. Zora03:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Signing your name
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. -- Avi06:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Boy4a.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:PalestinianBoyVsIsraeliTank.jpg. The copy called Image:PalestinianBoyVsIsraeliTank.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot11:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Boy4a.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
Is this image really necessary to the article? It is not really related to the text where it appears. Also, the picture seems to present Israel as some sort of faceless huge tank that runs over Palestinians. You may agree with this judgment, but I hope you can at least appreciate that this is a particular point of view, and wikipedia has a strict neutral point of view policy. Do you agree? nadav (talk) 06:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

An image that you uploaded, Image:Palestinerefugeegirl.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Misplaced Pages (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted.

Please do not post copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Image:Fridayprayerjerusalem.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8618830@N05/526106095/ in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDLor released into the public domain leave a note at Image talk:Fridayprayerjerusalem.jpg with a link to where we can find that note;
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Image talk:Fridayprayerjerusalem.jpg with a link to the details.
Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Image talk:Fridayprayerjerusalem.jpg saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.
Hi, with reference to your addition to Angles, speculating on a Scythian tribe living by the Ingul river: you haven't provided any evidence that this speculation is reasonable, and without any such evidence it's pretty wild speculation (an Indo-Iranian etymology corresponding to a river name in the Ukraine for a West Germanic people.) Please provide referenced sources for important claims like this. --Saforrest04:11, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ibn Kammuna, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/ip/rep/J017.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot00:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright
Please see the Misplaced Pages image use policy. In order for an image to be useable on Misplaced Pages, it must be under a free license; a permission that only extends to Misplaced Pages or prohibits third-party commercial use or making of derivative works is not considered free enough. If your images are indeed under a free license, please have the author post a notice to that extent on the website where it appears, or e-mail to the Misplaced Pages mailing list (permissions-enwikimediaorg) to confirm that this is the case. (There is an exception for material covered by the fair use policy, but it is unlikely to apple to the images you have uploaded.)
In case of Flickr, please note that "Image is public" does not mean "Image is in public domain". In particular, this image has a copyright notice "(c) All rights reserved", so it can't be used, unless the author re-licenses it. (Flickr uses various Creative Commons licenses, of which Attribution license and Attribution share-alike license are acceptable. If the image description contains the text "all rights reserved", or an "equal sign" or "crossed dollar" icon - indication a no-derivatives or non-commerical license, respectively - it is an indication that the image is not under a sufficiently free license.) Again, you can ask the author to change the license, but please note that Flickr doesn't support changing a license for a single image only, so the best choice would be for the author to put up a text like "Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary on this page, I, author of this image, hereby license it under Creative Commons Attribution ] license", or to send a message with a similar text to the mailing list.
Hey Adnanmuf,
I really love the pictures you are adding to different articles. I have just one small request: please use the "preview" function before saving to see how the pictures look in the article. You have to size the pictures as well by adding "|200px" for example. Thanks for your additions and keep up the good work. Tiamut12:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Another thing, please do not change captions to read incorrectly. You changed the ones on Arab dress from the fourth to sixth centuries to the seventh century. Why? Also, don't delete pictures, claiming they are an "Armenian family" when they are clearly not. In any case, Armenians are considered Arabs under the linguistic definition. Okay? Tiamut12:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand what you are doing. You have now deleted the picture of a girl with the Palestinian flag which you added yourself. Could you explain your edits on the talk page? Tiamut13:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Armenians are not arab, you can not use a europpean looking armenian to represent arabs in the ARAB article, what is wrong with you yourself?
I like armenians but you can not mix things especially in an ENCYCLOPEDIA!!! and the picture of palestinian family at top is not palestinan family but Samaritan family, another photo taken by the American consulate then shows that and same dress.
and the picture is inhumane shows people living in ruins and dirty floor, the kind of pictures that were prevailing in the article beforeabubakr (talk) 13:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
As I told you before, I don't think they are Armenians. Do you have a source that says that they are? About the second picture, the caption clearly says a "family from Ramallah".
