Your contributed article, Mastic ice cream

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Mastic ice cream. First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Dondurma. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Dondurma - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Misplaced Pages looks forward to your future contributions. Beastiepaws (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hebrew

Hi Farouk! You are welcome to use Hebrew, but please keep in mind that it's good form to use English on the English Misplaced Pages if possible, even on user talk which is in public view. Cheers, Ynhockey 21:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

i want to return the article that i wrote that was deleted in an unjustice. פארוק (talk) 07:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Booza

What is the difference between dondurma and booza? Beastiepaws (talk) 22:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Booza have a softer texture than Dondurma. Dondurma is much harder texture. that what is trying to tell you becouse the arabic ice cream is a stolen recipe that improved to a new recipe for the hot sun of arabian deserts. becouse this ice cream is not melting so fast in the sun. the syrian ice cream is the arabic version of this ice cream. פארוק (talk) 07:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

International Federation of Surveyors

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of International Federation of Surveyors, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.fig.net/wb2009/contacts.htm.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of International Federation of Surveyors

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on International Federation of Surveyors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Removing Speedy at International Federation of Surveyors

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from International Federation of Surveyors, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion, which will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 23:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hafia International Convention Center

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hafia International Convention Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate).

שלום פארוק,

למרות שזכותך המלאה לכתוב ערכים בכל שפה שתרצה, אני גם מבקש ממך בכל לשון של בקשה: תנסה לכתוב ערכים איכותיים יותר, ללא שגיאות כתיב ודקדוק, בעלי מידע רב יותר, ובעלי מקורות רלוונטיים. נכון שעדיין יש הרבה ערכים חסרים, אבל כתיבת קצרמרים שדורשים שכתוב אינה עוזרת לפיתוח של הערכים על ישראל בויקיפדיה האנגלית.

לצערי לא הכל מושלם, ויש מספר רב של ויקיפדים שונאי ישראל. עם זאת, ויקיפדיה אינה אנטי-ישראלית במהותה. היא מציגה את מה שהמקורות אומרים, ובדרך כלל זה לא טוב לעמדתה של ישראל כי הרבה מקורות באנגלית הם בריטיים, ואני לא צריך לדבר על יחסה של התקשורת הבריטית לישראל. אם בידך מקורות אמינים שמציגים את עמדתה של ישראל, כולנו נשמח אם תציג אותם ותתמיע את המידע שיש בהם בויקיפדיה. —Ynhockey 11:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Mount Scopus, and behaviour on Misplaced Pages

Hi, thanks for contributing on my talkpage. As you're a relatively new editor I'd like to welcome you to the project. Your edit on Mount Scopus was reverted with reasons, and according to wikipedia practices when that happens you need to build consensus and negotiate with other editors on how to proceed. Just reverting your edit back is incorrect, it is especially incorrect to do so without providing reasons in the edit summary.

Another matter entirely is that you called me "anti-semitic" in your comment on my userpage. This is unacceptable, as calling people racists or anti-semites is impolite and doesn't improve your standing in the Misplaced Pages community, please read WP:CIVIL.

Concerning the content issue, Mount Scopus is in Jerusalem, and Jerusalem isn't regarded as being in Israel by any state except Israel itself. Therefore including the category "Cemeteries in Israel" to that page is misleading. See for instance this source: "No major foreign government has recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital". Cheers, --Dailycare (talk) 21:18, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I think you are confusing Jerusalem as a whole with East Jerusalem, which is not recognised as being part of Israel. The area commonly referred to as West Jerusalem is recognised as being part of Israel, but all nations keep their embassies in Tel Aviv, the main city of Israel. The city is cut in two you see, and you should not confuse lack of embassies as meaning that West Jerusalem isn't recognised as part of Israel. Mount Scopus is within the Green Line afaik, but over the border (complicated story), and so I don't know its legal staus in the international world. The US recognises it as the capital btw, as you can see in the CIA World Factbook . They also support the statement I just made about embassies.

I do agree though that it is wholly unacceptabloe for Faruk to call you anti-Semetic off the bat like that, it is a personal attack. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 21:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

You can not read that another person he hates Jews and hates Israel - a disgrace to say ! To say that Mount Scopus + Mount of Olives is not a Jewish area - that people are talking like that is itself anti-Semitic ok . Write what you want. Jerusalem will remain forever a Jewish city. פארוק (talk) 22:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

They are Jewish areas of course, lol, but it doesn't mean he is an anti-Semite if he doesn't know their status. He probably just doesn't have a good knowledge of the area (no offense, Daily, but you conveyed that idea by not knowing that the city is commonly regarded as being divided in two). When talking about a place though you must write about it in the context of how the UN and such view it.

It will of course, God willing, but we must remember to follow Misplaced Pages policies in our edits otherwise we just seem loud and angry. You especially cannot go calling people such things and assuming bad faith like that. Otherwise you make people like Livni look like the voice of reason, and no one wants that.

Re: i need your help please

Hi Farouk! Your translation was correct. The reason why it's being deleted from the Hebrew Misplaced Pages is because they don't think it's notable. The process is similar to proposed deletion on English Misplaced Pages. Unfortunately, since I am not active on the Hebrew Misplaced Pages, I do not have enough edits there to remove the nomination. In any case, you should try to contact the user who placed the proposed deletion and ask if they can elaborate on the problem they have with it. Cheers, Ynhockey 21:51, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I tried to explain to them about the article, yet they thought it should be deleted. I myself did not understand the value itself. Why it says "square" if there are streets, avenues, or plazas. can you explain me plaese ? . פארוק (talk) 22:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Can you give an example of this? I only see squares (כיכרות). A plaza is also a square by the way. —Ynhockey 22:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

for example "National Mall". why is this called there a national square ? . פארוק (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The National Mall is a large square. See Definition 2. —Ynhockey 09:43, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

ok, why it is call the "Mall ? . it is not the point. for example, Red Square is the central square of all Russia. פארוק (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel

The article The National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable building which hasn't been built yet, failing WP:CRYSTAL

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mrmatiko (talk) 11:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Violating of the 1RR

The article Old City (Jerusalem) is under a one revert restriction per 24-hour rule (1RR) as are all articles that fall under the scope of the Arab-Israeli conflict (see WP:ARBPIA). You have violated this rule. I would have suggested you self-revert, but your edit has already been reverted. Please do not violate the rule again your you could be reported for edit warring and likely be blocked.

Also, please do not add unsourced information to articles. See WP:UNSOURCED. -asad (talk) 15:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of National Memorial Hall (Mount Herzl)

The article National Memorial Hall (Mount Herzl) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Almost incomprehensible (appears virtual gibberish), unreferenced. Possibly incredibly poorly translated, but not (as it stands) a good advert for Misplaced Pages!

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Proposed deletion of Specialized city

The article Specialized city has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Almost incomprehensible in places, unreferenced. Possibly incredibly poorly translated, very probably also not suitable for an encyclopedia - is the concept of a "specialized city" encyclopaedic? It's been tagged for reffing and copy-editing since April.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

WP:SOAPBOX

Please read the policy throughly. While I understand your desire to show your passion for the subject (as you have on the Jerusalem talk page), but you are doing it the wrong place. Please save that kind of stuff for web blogs and forums. -asad (talk) 22:07, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of World Bible Center

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on World Bible Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Rorshacma (talk) 18:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: World Bible Center

First of all, seeing as I am not Christian then no, your accusation is completely baseless. Making volatile accusations like that in somebodies talk page is in incredibly poor taste, and can result in warnings and further actions if you persist, so please stop now.

Secondly, the reason that the article was tagged for deletion is because it failed to meet the notability requirements to have an article on it. The building is not yet built, and there was nothing in the article that showed why it was important enough to have an encylopedia article. Please review Misplaced Pages:Notability for help on what makes an article notable. The message at the top of your talk page also has a variety of useful links.

Third, I want to point out that while I initially tagged the page for deletion, it was an actual admin who then reviewed the page and decided to delete it. Deletion of an article is generally a multi-step process in which more than one editor is involved. Rorshacma (talk) 17:05, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't see no reason to delete this value, just as there as a projects that were never built are written articles about them.

If you've read it all then you will see that this building should start to be built next month sponsored by the Israeli government. פארוק (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Again, it doesn't matter whether the building will or will not be built, the article was deleted simply because it did not do enough to satisfy the notability requirement to be included as an article. And again, I want to emphasize the fact that I am only the one that initially tagged the article for deletion. I am not the one who did the actual deleting. I am not an admin, and thus I don't have the ability to restore the article even if I wanted to. While I can explain what my reasoning was for tagging it for speedy deletion, your arguments for why it should not have been deleted would be better directed at Misplaced Pages:Requests for undeletion if wish to have the deletion reviewed.Rorshacma (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I restored the article as it made claims of importance, such as being launched by a government minister. But the writing needs to be cleared up. Since it was a building it was not eligible for A7 nomination - please note Rorshacma. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Mastic ice cream

If you look at the history of Mastic ice cream, the original article is there. Perhaps you need to convert it to a disambiguation page to refer to three different kinds. Any way you are free to undo the redirect. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

If you don't want to create value for this two kinds of ice cream. So it need to create new value for "Syrian Mastic ice creame" that is different. פארוק (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of World Bible Center

Hi what does "and in which month the quiz international Bible adults" mean? If you could write some alternative text, perhps I could change it into more meaningful English. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:21, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, next question: What is the connection between Israel Society for Biblical Research and the World Jewish Bible Society? Are they the same organisation? I see from the letter from D Ben-Gurion that they used a common letterhead. Did the two organisations merge together? Did one organisation start the other?

And another question: You use the term bible, but are you referring to the Torah or do you include Psalms and prophets books or the New Testament in the project? If it is a narrower term then there may be a better term for the article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:40, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rova Mevo Ha'ir

The article Rova Mevo Ha'ir has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

"At present the plan has the working (but not final ) name of Mevo Ha'Ir - "Gateway to the city"," (from external link. This is just the provisional name of a building / construction plan.

Some tips to help you out!

Hi פארוק, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Misplaced Pages manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Misplaced Pages prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:פארוק/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:32, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>
He likes tea. <ref>  </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:פארוק/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 
Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = ]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Something to make your life easier!

Hi there פארוק! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.

You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

Merge discussion for Sebil (drinking water facility)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Sebil (drinking water facility) , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for disturbing you. I withrawed my merging proposal.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

First I proposed a merger of Sebil (drinking water facility) and Sebilj because I thought that they have the same topic. Then one user pointed to the fact that Sebilj is an article about Sebil in Sarajevo while Sebil (drinking water facility) refers to all Sebils in the world. After I realized that I gave up my proposal for merger of those two articles. Conclusion, you can forget about my message. Again, sorry for disturbing you. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 17:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
