لو سمحت؟ لو سمحت؟

Hey, I'm going to send this as a semi-standard template to you and the other two avowed Arabic speakers/readers on the WS Project. I am currently engaged in a seemingly futile (ومتخلف) argument with a user (Kwami) over the source of Arabic orthography and to a certain degree etymology. It's at this point too convoluted to describe, but I would very much appreciate any qualified person stepping in and not so much helping me as adding their voice to what appears to be - on my side - evidence, versus - on his side - repetition and unqualified reversion. Thanks! (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Middle_Bronze_Age_alphabets#reverts) Msheflin (talk) 14:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Map minor detail

The map looks correct, especially in the desert regions where its hard to trace Bedouin tribal movements. I think you mistyped Ma'afir & 'Ans in each other spots, as

Ma'afir is between Taiz, Bab al-Mandab & Aden
'Ans covers most the land between Dhamar & Ibb

Which is why I think its a typo, because you got the precise location, just reversed the names. Tiwahi (talk) 18:31, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
