Hello, I'm

"Mecca is a city in the Tihamah" is misleading because Tihamah is ill-defined. "Mecca is a city in the Hejaz" is not misleading. Thus what were you correcting here [1]? Materialscientist (talk) 03:40, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on. Britannica has an article on Hejaz, and it says that both Mecca and Medina lie within it. Materialscientist (talk) 03:53, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• And he is making this change in dozens of articles; other changes even made to title of books. Non-careful editing. Hmains (talk) 03:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LePatro! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there!

I recently reverted your replacements of the term "Hejaz" with "Tihamah" since the sources in those articles use Hejaz, and either way they don't describe the same regions, the former broadly describing the mountainous strip of western Arabia and the latter describing a smaller area of the southern coastal Hejaz and western coastal Yemen. Could you explain your rationale? Thank you. --Al Ameer son (talk) 07:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. That maybe the historical context, but apparently it usually refers only to that southern part of the coastline while the Hejaz is defined more broadly and normally includes both Mecca and Medina, from Tabuk to the Asir mountains. The Hejaz is certainly used more often. I also think we should stick with Hejaz since that what the sources in those articles say. --Al Ameer son (talk) 07:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt what the original definition used to be or what the early Arab scholars defined Tihama and Hejaz as, but the modern definition is different than the past one and it's the modern usage that we have to apply on Wiki. --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thanks to read

WP:TRUTH

.

So, no matter what a unique source says and what was the place called 14 centuries ago, it is widely accepted and reported by the vast majority of RS that all these topics are related to Hedjaz, not "Timamah".

Thanks for understanding.

rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Lukeno94 (talk) 20:57, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
