Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:16, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Egyptian Arabic
Please, do not remove category Egyptian Arabic/Masri from
- Egyptian Arabic is not a real language. It is merely a dialect of Arabic and all Arabs can understand easily. It doesn't matter to me what http://www.ethnologue.com says; they don't know what they are talking about. Even the government of Egypt and Egyptians doesn't consider the dialect a real language! --Sibahitalk 09:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- To repeat: please, read the article on Egyptian Arabic to see the discussion regarding the status of the vernacular. It may not "matter" to you but that is merely your POV which does not necessarily agree with the opinion of others. Also, you cannot include an ISO-recognized language with an assigned number on a non-ISO page regardless of how you personally feel about the issue. It simply doesn't make sense. I'm going to ask for administrative intervention if you don't stop removing content from Wikipedia pages. — Zerida 09:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- If you insist. Whatever, the page Wikipedia:Userboxes/Non-ISO Languages is refernced to in the Wikiproject Userboxes Tamplate the it is Non-ISO Languages and Dialects. You say that it is an ISO Language and its place is the Babel page. (And by the way, the ISO code is arz, not ma. Don't you think you should change this too?) To most Arabs and Egyptains, it is merely a dialect of Arabic (like Scottish English is a dialect of English), hence its place should be in the dialects section. So, what prevents it from being in both places, thus satisfying the NPOV policy.? (A side note, would you mind telling me how to use the popups to revert and edit?) --Sibahitalk 10:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)]
- If you insist. Whatever, the page
The template is referring to both non-ISO languages and dialects (ie. non-ISO languages and non-ISO dialects).
As regards the language codes,
Very, very sorry
Sorry to bother you with an article which IMHO should have been deleted (AfD failed) and which was only created due to the

- I am not sure about the legal status of the picture. I provided the source (even though the page works, the mother page seems not to, which is strange.) I am not familiar at all with the US copyright law, (and I don't think it applies to this image anyway.) I don't really care what you do to this image, but it would make a nice addition to the Nizar Qabbani article, to see how he looks like. Btw, I could've just added any hocus-pocus copyright status, but I didn't. All the best. --Sibahi 14:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Teaching of evolution in Saudi Arabia
Hello, I was wondering if you could inform me whether
- Sure you can enter the country! And Evolution is not taught here at all (at least not in Biology class.) --Sibahi 04:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I thought you have to be a believer in the Abrahamic religions before you can enter? I'm sure I read that either here or in a book, though if it was the book it may be a a couple of decades out of date. Are you allowed to read a Christian bible in public places?
- Back on topic, so evolution is not taught at all? What about in universities, do they continue to leave evolution out of the course material there? Do you know what the situation is like in other Islamic countries like Iran, Syria etc? I've managed to find an article in the journal Science on the situation in Turkey but it seems quite difficult to research, yet there are millions of people in Islamic countries so it is well worth mention.

- I am not sure about either question, I am afraid. Sorry for not being able to help. --Sibahi 10:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- That's alright - from what you've told me and what I can find online there is definitely more to the situation that the intelligent design controversy in the United States. It's good to be able to find people here from a certain country so easily though; asking people directly is often the quickest way of getting an answer. Richard001 23:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

- Honestly, Mr Trice, I think you're both being jerks (for the lack of a better word!!) But I couldn't care less about the whole thing. I am just editing the article the way I think they should be. Also, I haven't seen any indication that InfoCheck is the same person as Derek Nalls. --Sibahi 12:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
who moves first in Chess960
Dear Sibahi,
Who moves first in
I don't understand this revert.
If you made that revert because white *doesn't* always play first, please add to that article and specify who *does* play first. Thank you. --68.0.124.33 (talk) 16:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
