Coptic editor

Nice to see a Coptic editor around, it adds to an essential balance in articles dealing with the Arab world! There is in fact a lovely Coptic Church next to my university. If you don't mind me asking what I generally like learning from orthodox Christians, what's your view on the Eastern-Oriental schism? I always hear really interesting points from each side so I like asking, because it is less clear cut than the Latin-Eastern schism. It also involves really interesting christology. --Afghana 23:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Copt

I was reading the article and i found it not only well written, but also visually pleasing. I just felt like appreciating the top contributor. great work man. Hamza 09:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

for my userpage? Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:03, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hehe thanks. Wikifan12345 (talk) 12:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Coptic Synod

It's great that you're keeping track of the Coptic pages, but the current format is unhelpful. Metropolitans of the church are linked with metropolis instead of pages about their (personal) diocese. Dioceses are linked with generic city pages instead of articles about the diocese itself, their history, and their former bishops.

Red links will show people where work needs to be done. Besides which, there is a page for the Diocese of Syene: you just didn't wait until I was finished posting it up. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:PopeShenoudaIII24.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PopeShenoudaIII24.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 08:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

File:EgyptGovernorates.png

Hello! You created this work entirely by yourself? This isn't true, it's a derivate of File:Egypt location map.svg and you totally ignored the license. Please read the license text (same license for derivates, not public domain, naming the author of the source) and correct the file desciption. NNW (talk) 10:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alexandria Governorate.svg

A tag has been placed on File:Alexandria Governorate.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.

Governorates of Egypt

Hi Lanternix, I'm from Israel and the Heberw wiki. I found that you created one of the maps of Governorates of Egypt. I found also that the two maps are not the same. for example, Giza Governorate, no.11, is very small in the upper map (not yours) which does not fit with the table that says the area is 85,000 km^2 (bigger than Sinai peninsula which is 60,000 km^2). how can you explain the differences, and which map is the right one? Thank you.Tushyk (talk) 04:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!!

Hi, thank you for your note, i will add the article you told me of to my watchlist. I enjoy Phoenician archaelogy and history (i find it particularly interesting and mysterious), history of the Levant and Lebanese culture & cultural venues articles, I already got two articles GA rated and am working on a third one, what is your area of interest mate, maybe we may be able to help one another. Let's stay in touch, Eli+ 15:23, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Arab

Please stop reverting my edits here, thankyou. Izzedine (talk) 22:12, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

Template:Z10

This is ridiculous! First of all, I encouraged the other party to discuss his reverts of my edits, which he/she has not done. Secondly, I agreed with some of his points and restored some of his changes as a compromise. Thirdly, and most importantly, I made one change and only 3 reverts, which technically does NOT break the 3RR rule! Get another admin to look at this, please! --Lanternix (talk) 22:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring is still edit warring even if you don't pass 3 reverts; read WP:3RR carefully. But if you want another admin to look at this, there are clear instructions above. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 22:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

The rules apply to some and not to others here, get used to it, even admins do not assume good faith and how could they, bias is everywhere. Well i looked into the matter of Kataeb , it looks as usual that wikipedia is used as a tool for political propaganda, to make things worse, there are wikioedians who assume knowledge of a subject but in fact they know nothing about it nor do they look up references or do a fact check. the end result is you get bombarded by ridiculous warnings and end up blocked ;P So as i was saying the references cited in kataeb were taken out of context, if a party adopts fascist discipline and not a fascist agenda and ideology then it is not qualified as fascist, that was most refused to comprehend because their own political affiliations forbade them to. I found a conclusive source that i added hoping this will end this pointless dispute. Eli+ 14:23, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Arabic speaking Chrsitians

Hi mate, the debate is pointless here. Arab ethnicity is probably a minority in the arab states outside the peninsula, people don't and wont get that just as long as people in the "arab world" speak arabic. The term arab christians is not wrong but is not very accurate. I tend to avoid articles i cannot provide conclusive evidence for. read my comment on the talk page and we'll see what is to be done, in all cases there are too many unreferenced passages in the article that make it pretty unreliable, it's pretty poor and biased. Eli+ 19:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC) OMG i messed it up, i left out the ic and when i noticed it was too late, i requested a page move from and admin since all the pages history is left out :( Eli+ 20:26, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

no mate i am Furious

not your mistake, the page is a mess, i advise you not to trouble yourself like i did if you;re gonna spend>2 hrs researching and piecing together a section that ends up in the toilet Eli+ 00:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Egypt Governorates Map

I see that You've made Template:Egypt Governorates Map, but it seems that template is missing two governorates: Helwan Governorate and 6th of October Governorate. Can You fix this? Vanjagenije (talk) 23:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I think that the line between the names of Cairo and Giza should not be there.

Could you also upload yout great map "EgyptGovernorates.png" to commons for being used in other wikipedias ? If you agree, thanks. And congratulations for this great map and template. --Llimona (talk) 09:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Change in coptic cross image

I noticed that you added coptic writing to the coptic cross image you uploaded for the copts template. what does it mean ? --George (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I searched for it on google and it looks like it means Egyptian christians (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't think this should be added the picture since it's not part of the coptic cross and it's not part of the liturgy. --George (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't see it before because I don't have a coptic font on my comptuer. I still think you should remove it (at least from the coptic cross image) because even though it describes copts in the coptic language it's not known outside 3 pages on the internet (according to google) and one of them is a forum thread where a member translated it to coptic to describe himself because he doesn't like the word "copt".

If you're not convinced, I still think it should be in a separate image added to the template above the cross so that the cross can be used in other articles alone. --George (talk) 23:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Non-free images in your userspace

Hi. I have reverted you last edit to you Tintin-userbox. Per our non-free content policy, WP:NFCC, criteria nine, we don't use any image that is copyrighted and has not been released under a free license, in userspace. Rettetast (talk) 01:47, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The policy is clear on this. I asked for intervention from someone else at WP:ANI#Non-free image at User:Lanternix/Userboxes/Tintin. Rettetast (talk) 02:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the images from your Tintin userbox and your Asterix userbox. Per Misplaced Pages's policy on non free content, fair use images, like the ones which I removed can only be used in article space, since doing otherwise would be contrary to Misplaced Pages's goal as a free encyclopedia. --Patar knight - /_{contributions} 02:56, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

هيا الصوره اللى كانت فصفحة المصريين راحت فين؟ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.155.204.117 (talk) 13:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi =- I've deleted File:AsterixSmall.jpg and File:TintinSmall.jpg as they are derivative works rather than entirely self created. As copyrighted images they cannot be used in userspace - Peripitus (Talk) 06:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

by the way...

Since you are so much into Coptic stuff... Let's say I'd want to learn the very basics of Coptic... any good book you know? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 08:12, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

It means I am interested if there is a book that I could fit into my schedule. :) I'm just asking... thought you had some recommendations. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 08:17, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll check it out. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 08:23, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Your signature

Your signature shows up as gibberish boxes on my browser. I have a lot of fonts and character sets installed, so probably most other users can't read your signature either. This can make it difficult for users to identify and communicate with you, so please consider changing your signature to either use a more common font, or not to use these special characters. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 08:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

4th revert at Arab Christian

Please self-revert your last edit as this is the fourth time in 24 hours that you have removed information regarding the number of Egyptian Christians from the article Arab Christian. I understand that you do not believe Egyptian Christians are Arab, but many sources and editors disagree with you. If you do not self-revert, I will have to report you for edit-warring.
