Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:04, 7 January 2008

Sunni Islam

Hi, could you please explain the following revert. Thanks. → AA — 20:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. The "See also" section is to guide readers to other areas of Misplaced Pages that have not already been mentioned (via wikilinks) in the article and the reader may not be aware of. It would be impractical to list every link that has been used in an article. Hope that explains it a bit better. Welcome to Misplaced Pages and if you have any queries or want to know more about policies and guidelines, feel free to ask on my talk page. Many thanks. → AA — 21:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

thanx i hope to be an effective wikipedian but lets finish university exams first ;p - Smart_Viral 04:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

No problems - look forward to your participation. Good luck with your exams! → AA — 09:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

wiki teams

don't understand! c article Muhammad a team of Jewish that lead the contributions for example Sefringle , c last edit by Proabivouac "Muhammad . . . in which he recognized the validity of three Meccan". my friend X-Force try to correct the article then he get blocked "This user is a suspected sock puppet of His excellency, and has been blocked indefinitely." what u called this. <<Smart_Viral 17:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)>>

Hi Smart Viral. Look, Misplaced Pages is not a battleground. So the user who you are thinking is your friend is just a vandal. Someone who comes and removes edits w/o discussing is a WP:VANDAL. This is the problem. Misplaced Pages hurts but not only you. Many people from around the world feel the same (including the Vatican, including the Republicans, including Africans, including Jews, including Sikhs, including Chinese, including animals, etc...) Editing here consists of consensus. Consensus can only be reached through discussions. You have to get good arguments in order for you to get your edit approved. Why were you not blocked? Because you could discuss, not him.

P.S.Consensus can change but not this way. Consensus can change via discussions. Removing comments and images from the articles is plain vandalism. Please click on this image . -- FayssalF - 18:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

thanx ... i have to learn more about wikipeda. <<Smart_Viral 18:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)>>

Well said. I am still learning myself. Everybody. The important thing you have to learn about first is WP:TROLL. Just never follow the trolls whoever may be. -- FayssalF - 19:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

A point of semantics, removing article content is not the definition of vandalism. From Misplaced Pages:Vandalism: "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages." Emphasis mine. What you're talking about may very well be vandalism, but don't come to think that any removal of text or images is vandalism, because that's wrong. BigNate37_(T) 20:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for this! :) I noticed you've been doing a lot of editing; keep it up, it's good! :) Acalamari 20:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

About the vandalism performed upon your talk page

First, thank you for helping fight vandalism on Misplaced Pages. Second, I notice your talk page was recently vandalized (and quickly reverted by another user). If you notice further vandalism on your talk page that you think is related and/or by the same user, please advise me. Since I blocked the offending user, it is certainly within my scope to reblock the user (or extend the block if he is found to be abusing multiple accounts). —C.Fred (talk) 22:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

thank you C.Fred I'm in ur army. <<Smart_Viral 22:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)>>

Islam

regarding your recent change to Islam, "Islam" is the masdar of the fourth S-L-M variant, aslama- also related to istislam and as-silm. see this for more information. ITAQALLAH 00:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

clarification:

1. islam = salam = peace(noun) = give peace(verb).
2. The Islam = asalam (sometimes written as Al-salam) = the peace
3. no exist of the word aslama in arabic but if u mean aslam its an another spelling of the word islam
4. i'am arabian & i know what i speak!

thank you. <<Smart_Viral 00:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)>>

i'm no expert, but you said the verb aslama does not exist- please refer to the above link and the other reliable citations given which show otherwise. if you have any reliable sources verifying what you say, please do provide them. ITAQALLAH 00:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

its said "The manifesting of humility or submission and outward conforming with law of God" & here

1. as language:peace
2. as common:get muslim:submission and outward conforming with law of God <<Smart_Viral 00:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)>>

the link shows that al-islam means submission to God, and is derived from aslama, which itself means to submit. ITAQALLAH 00:44, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

yes this is what i mean submission to God not by enemies of islam as somebody say. thanx<<Smart_Viral 00:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)>>

I see you are now trying to make the above changes on the Religion of Peace page. Don't the above arguments still count? However, I agree with you that it is important that the Religion of peace page makes it clear that the "submission" means "submission of Muslims to God" rather than "submission of infidels to Muslims". I think this is a good point that should be added to the article. You can argue that this submission to God will bring an inner peace as a consequence, but not that the word Islam is a synonym for peace. Perhaps we can arrange a sentence we are both happy with on one another's talk pages or on the talk page of Religion of peace. I certainly would not want to start a revert war like seems to be going on with Raphael1 vs the rest of the world. Mike Young 12:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I seem to have got an Edit conflict with someone (two saves to Misplaced Pages at the same time). I hope I have not deleted anything, look at the last couple of edits made and check nothing has been accidently deleted. Mike Young 12:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thanks Mike Young, the word Islam (إسلام) is extremely related to the word Salam(سلام)(=peace) by its root. and the additional letter (إ) change the meaning to give peace (إسلام) which mean islam. but we can merge the 2 definitions into one as this "submission and outward conforming with law of God to make peace" see this dictionary. <<Smart_Viral 13:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)>>

I've put a new suggestion on the Religion of peace talk page... What do you think? Mike Young 14:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Yet another definition in. I think this will be a marked improvement if you agree. Mike Young 19:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear Smart Viral,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Daniel 10:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Religion of Peace

I have sent you an email about your edit to the Religion of Peace article. Check it hasn't ended up in your spam filter !!!! Mike Young 19:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Sorry, I can understand how those edits could have looken like vandalism. Unfortunately, the article on the Jewish Defense League was composed largely of composed of WP:SOAPboxing by various third parties. This has now been fixed. -- 67.98.206.2 18:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protection

You're welcome. :) The semi-protection will expire in a week, though that should be (hopefully) enough time to calm the vandals down. Acalamari 17:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Freedomforallwomen (talk · contribs)

Thank you for making a report at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you.

You may want to take this to WP:AIV for a better response to the situation. --w 20:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your family a blessed Eid.

If you object to the above message, please remove it, accept my apologies and notify me on my talk page.

thank you for folowing the jordan page

the jordan page has had many vandilism attacks ans its just crazy. any how thank yo very much for keeping its integity. any how the king abdullah page gets alot of vandilism too. and is filled with attacks and filled with bias negative and in many cases poorly documented information. what do you think we can do about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Topsecrete (talk • contribs) 19:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome :) .Unfortunately we can't avoid attacks, but you can face it. Read this please. Smart_Viral 20:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Jordan

I removed the lengthy list of external links because WP:External links recommends that links should be restricted to the most relevant and helpful. A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not by itself a reason to add external links. Also there were several links listed under Notes, which is inappropriate because it gives the impression that they are actual citations. The links I kept are the official ones and appropriate ones like dmoz, wikitravel etc. Green Giant (talk) 18:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

This edit is not vandalism. This is at best a content dispute, extensively covered in the Discussion page of this article. Please keep in mind that labeling other's edits vandalism when you disagree with them is offensive. Thanks. -- lucasbfr 13:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree; you're more than welcome to participate on the talk page, in the pursuit of consensus via Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process, but it's pretty clear that the edit in question does not meet the definition of simple and obvious vandalism set forward in WP:VAND. There are plenty of less charged words you can (and should feel free to) use. Beyond that, thank you for your time and attention in this matter. – Luna Santin (talk) 12:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Same here. Now that you've made your excuse for calling it vandalism at AN/I, can you explain the edit? Arrow740 (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
