Hi,
Seriously, somebody updated the article count 7 hours after the last article count update. It moved up five measly articles. Please refrain from updating the article count at least for a month or two, not 7 hours. Or if it increases a substantial number, like 2,500, or 1,000 at least. Not 5. ] 14:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

You have seen (English Wikipedians) how (a very very very proud muslim), an administrator in the Arabic wiki, and a wikipedian on the English one, how he has spoiled this discussion page, just to ban the freedom of speech.
You can imagine his doings in the arabic wiki... --] (]) 22:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

:] wikipedia is not a blog, and this page is about Arabic wikipedia, not about your ideas about the admin who blocked you due to your in-constructive behaviour. Please do not repate the same behaviour within the en wiki. --] (]) 22:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Stayfi, since you have joined Ar wiki and you are making troubles. Please do not make trouble here also. --] (]) 09:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

* It was discussed but outnumbred by UR community, banned by a heavy islamic view (AS I've SAID) i'm blaming this orientation, look simply to the persian wiki, nd how they represent him. Again, this Ar wiki isn't free, not respecting the NPOV i mean. --] (]) 01:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

== Protection ==

This is an article about the Arabic Misplaced Pages. It is not a ] for complaints about the Arabic Misplaced Pages. It seems that some editors (who may be the same editor) think differently. Accordingly, I've fully protected this article until a checkuser can be run to find the source of these edits, and appropriate blocks issued. This may take a little time. Thanks. --]] 04:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

* Mr Rodu, i hope i'll not be forced to ask the removing of the protection to other admins, i'm contributng to this article by facts, not complaints, ND I THINK THAT THE SECTION ABOUT BLOCKING THE ARABIC WIKI IN SYRIA IS A REAL COMPLAINT.
So, let me add references to the sunni wikipdia, as soon as possible. regards --] (]) 09:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

::It's not a sunni wikipedia, if you have problems with the sunni Administrators make a complaint to the christian Administrator LordAnibus --] (]) 10:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

* I'm a Sunni my self, nd i saw its management, i've no less than a year on it, one christian admin isn't enough, this is a sunni wiki, see for example the persian wiki, nf if u consider shia as muslims or no, how they put pictures of mohamed there, the vagina also for detailed explanation, i'm speaking about the NPOV, not about the religion of admins, they've made the Ar wiki, simply, a SUNNI wiki. --] (]) 10:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

:This is not the place to complain about it. Nobody is going to do anything about the Arabic Misplaced Pages from here. The sooner you realise that and agree to stop adding those complaints, the sooner the article can be unprotected and be edited properly. And I think you'll find it difficult to find an admin who disagrees with me. Bear in mind if you continue pushing this, you can, and will, be blocked for disruption. --]] 10:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

* This is a place for facts (I'm writting about them), see my contributions, in the Ar wiki, any article by me, not related to Islam, or the Arab politics, was not restricted, only, when i write on sensitive subjects, that people of Sunni Wahhabi background came, I know what i'm talking about, rod, nd i can read arabic...
: Also, there isn't just one admin, if the majority choose to ignore it here also, it's just fine, i'll turn to the french wiki, nd the Spanish one. Regards --] (]) 11:27, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

::Stayfi, the ] denies the ]™. What matters here is ]. Rather than ] ] add the Sunni Cabal<sup>SC</sup> ]. ] (]) 18:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

* it's not a sunni cabal, it's stupidity cabal, which brought ar wiki to become a sunni wiki, what's the difference between the persian version nd the arabic one, since, they r 2 run by a majority of muslims, it's a sunni view simply that doesn't respect the NPOV.
: i'm waiting the reply of mr rodhull, nd i'll post a new in the admins section if he doesn't. --] (]) 21:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
::It's not up to me to judge the adequacy of these sources, it's up to your fellow-editors here, and I'm happy to leave it up to them. --]] 21:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

== Restricted 3 ==

* for the prophet mohamed pictures, it's easy to show how the block is on this article, nd compare it to the Persian wiki, the shia majority in the persian wiki, is more open minded, with less restrictions, like it's sister in the arabic one, nd it'll show that the arabic wiki, is but a Sunni wiki for fanatics, not for all arabs (christians, shia, or even sunni)

* the english article of mohamed is blocked in the UAE, but it's hard to give a reference, we'll put need citation instead

* For the Caliph othman, it's hard to put a citation, since there's no a major study about the arabic wiki in english language.

* for the medical imagery, i'll put a link to vigina's article in arabic wiki to compare it to the english one.

* Please do take a look to this website's:

arabic wiki is no less, a sunni one, see th persian wiki. we'll see the point of view of rodhul, nd others i suppose, bear in mind, that i've no less than a year in the arabic wiki, they want u to write about spring or birds not about the caliph othman. nd u where one of them, u know, no need to defend it here, cos all admins here are not sunni, this to remind u, --] (]) 22:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

:that's cool. when these two magazines do researches about ar wikipedia and mention that there is a restriction in it, add this information to the article, do we have a deal? --] (]) 18:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

* the images of mohamed nd the Vagina, are simply banned, without the hints to the arabic content of this wiki, is this not enough? --] (]) 19:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Blackout

Neutrality lost?

If you want to raise a formal complaint, you'd have to do so somewhere on Meta.Wikimedia.org, not here. Anyway, they were the colors of the 1917 Flag of the Arab Revolt before Palestine, and are known as Pan-Arab colors... AnonMoos (talk) 14:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
