Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:15, 2 May 2007

Wish you'd come back

Ibrahim, I understand why you left but your input is important on the Muhammad article. I realize you have a family and that other needs are probably taking you away from Misplaced Pages besides this ongoing dispute but if ever you have the time it would be good to see you return and calmly participate. Maybe after a break you'll feel more centered and ready to come back. I hope so. See you. (→Netscott) 16:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I also hope to see you return. _InBC 16:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Likewise. MARussellPESE 20:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

And I would like to see you views on Quran and Speed of Light. -- RHaworth 16:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

wikipedia needs you--hnnvansier 02:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yup. - Merzbow 02:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I am back and will concentrate on Muhammad picture again. In-sha-Allah --- ALM 19:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I am glad you are coming back. Though the Muhammad picture debate has been settled for some time now. _InBC 19:01, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

It was sattled for one year before that. I might not reply you any more. I wish to concentrate on work instead of talking with people (Espacially to you). --- ALM 19:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Peace. _InBC 19:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Good to have you back. MARussellPESE 20:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Images

I wonder what'd happen about the images on the Muhammad topic?

Thank you. --- ALM 10:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. --- ALM 12:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

How are you? I'm happy to meet you again.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 07:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Me too. :) --- ALM 07:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back ALM. We missed you. --Aminz 07:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Aminz. -:) -- ALM 07:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Your quest for adminship

You don't tell lies? Then how do you square the fact that one of your usernames says, "This user is not an administrator and does not wish to be one," while another says, "This user is not a Misplaced Pages administrator but would like to be one someday?" I suppose you might have just changed your mind...but you've never had "hate and stalkers." That account was created to run for adminship, as a trawl through contributions makes crystal clear. Randomly supporting requests for adminships in the hopes the candidates will support yours is dishonest, and disruptive.
Is there another username we should know about?Proabivouac 10:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes that is my account. I indeed do not wish to be admin with any account but wish to give a different personality to avoid haters tracking me. I will now create a new account today. --- ALM 10:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

"...but wish to give a different personality to avoid haters tracking me."

So of all the ways you could have thrown these "haters" off the track, you didn't think to avoid active disussions in which you'd been involved (including the Salma Arastu image!), you didn't think to stop uploading diagrams which showed your area of professional interests/expertise...no, it was the clever ruse of seeking adminship that distinguished you from ALM.

See User:Essjay.Proabivouac 11:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I tried very hard to avoid going near Islamic article but I think I failed. I will try better next time on a new account. I can contribute on many things like sports, science etc. I really wish to contribute but waste lots of time with haters. Misplaced Pages should not be a battle ground but it has become one. I do not wish to battle around with people hence I need a new acount for non-islamic things. --- ALM 11:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

ALM, your statements on your userpage that you have certain good qualities (whether or not you actually do) because of Islam amount to campaigning for Islam. Please remove them. Arrow740 18:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Arrow yaar aap kyon meray say hostile hain. Serouff Issleye key main Muslim hoo? Please be friend and nice to each other. otherwise leave me alone please. --- ALM 19:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Salma Arastu

ALM,

My appologies for the assumption of bad faith on this entry. It was also not my intention in the least to make anyone think that even if your motivations were political that there is any merit in the "delete" votes either. I hope I have clarified that. My intention was to point out that the creation of and AfDing of this entry seems entirely like a political tug of war and as such it is ridiculous. If this artist is notable we need to judge her notability fairly and then decide how to proceed. All I see are a bunch of knee jerk reactions to an entry about a Muslim convert, who apparently painted a disputed image. My own vote is for the AfD to get discredited itself because it is a sham. Cheers.PelleSmith 11:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem :). The real reason that leads to creating of this page is following. I asked for a painting from her and told her that I wish to use it in wikipedia. When she heard about wikipedia then she herself asked me at that time that can I create article on her. My obvious inclination was to say No. It is because I thought she will be not notable. However, then I looked at her resume (http://www.salmaarastu.com/resume.htm) and find out that she is really notable. Hence I created the article. Its creating fulfilled all the standards of wikipedia then why I should not create it? It is simply disgusting that wikipedia has become so ugly. --- ALM 12:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Alternate account

I also have an alternate account I use when I want to avoid preconceptions. Per WP:SOCK this is fine as long as I never use the account in such as way as to avoid scrutiny, or get past the idea of "one person, one vote", or bypassing 3RR or any of the other things mentioned in WP:SOCK#Forbidden_uses_of_sock_puppets. I hope it helps you be judged by the merits of your arguments instead of preconceived notions. _InBC 15:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I always follow law/rules. Having said that, although your above message might be good one but I feel pain after seeing your signatures. It makes me remember about Muhammad pictures. It hurts really bad. Hence I have taken your talk page out from my watch and wish to avoid you (or any place where I can see your signatures). I am sorry and I hope that I will be normal as the time pass. I hope that my feeling will not be considered as personal attack. --- ALM 16:10, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Geez, perhaps I should create an alternate account just so I can talk to you without you bringing up old bones. _InBC 12:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Assalamu aleikum

JazakAllahair for the warm welcome. Insha'Allah, please join the presently ongoing deletion discussion at the article on Waleed Shaalan Mosura 16:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear sister/brother, I will say 60-40% in the favor of deletion. I am sorry but I think all those article should be either merge in one article named Victims of the Virginia Tech Massacre or should be deleted. I am not voting there at the moment but if I have to vote then I will vote for delete. Wassalam. --- ALM 16:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Malise Ruthven as a source

Christadelphianeditor (talk · contribs) is objecting to the removal of links to http://www.aletheiacollege.net/dbb/4-2-4gematria_and_quran.htm from Islam, including this edit. Can you join the discussion in Talk:Islam? / edgarde 16:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Islam

I read your comment on Merzbow talk page. Please do not stay out and edit. We need more people working in Islam related article. :) --- ALM 19:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your words of encouragement. / edgarde 19:45, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Standardising Qur'an citations

Hi, as someone who edits Islam related articles, I was wondering if you could comment on my proposal for standardising the citation of the Qur'an using a single template. Thanks. → Aktar — 21:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Thank you, ALM scientist, for your constructive comments in my recent RFA, which passed with 86 support, 8 oppose, and 5 neutral !votes. I will keep in mind all your suggestions and/or concerns, and will try to live up to your standards. Please, if you have any comments or complaints about my actions as an administrator, leave a note on my talk page, and I will respond as soon as I possibly can, without frying my brain, of course. Thank you once more, · AndonicO

No worries. I would probably have opposed myself for my bad mediating skills. :) · AndonicO 16:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Images

Aslamoalaikum.These images are not of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh). Albertbrown80 12:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

They will be gone because they even violate wikipedia own rules. Many of them. Give me a week and help me. Talk with me next Monday. Wassalam --- ALM 12:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Merger of Muslim beliefs

salam. Saw your comment on the removal of the tag from Islam. Regarding the Muslim beliefs article, is there anything there that isn't already covered in the various Islam related articles. Is it a candidate for prod? → Aktar — 15:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I have not seen that article in detail and I will read it later. Hence I cannot answer to your question without reading. :) I do not have time to read it right now. --- A. L. M. 15:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

No problems. → Aktar — 16:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Black stone. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. --Elonka 17:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
