Please move Shi'ah back to Shi'a

Cunardo, you've done it again. There are HUNDREDS of articles that link to Shi'a. Shi'a is the most common. MOVE IT BACK. Zora 22:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC) (yes, I'm pissed off)

References

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. Here is the relevant section from the Cite Sources wiki style page for your perusal. As you can see, it is quite permissible to use full html links in places other than External Links. Wjhonson 23:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_cite_sources

Embedded HTML links The MediaWiki software supports embedding HTML links directly into an article by enclosing a URL with single square brackets — [1] — which appears like this: [1] A full citation ought then be given in the References section like this:

• Google's website, which appears as:

Google's website A newspaper article referenced in an article by using an embedded link might be — [2] — which looks like this. [2] The embedded link is placed after the period, or when placed within a sentence after a clause, then after the comma.

Then in the References section, a full citation is provided:

• "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying" by John Plunkett, The Guardian, October 27, 2005, retrieved October 27, 2005

I found my preferred characters for hamza and ayn

Jaghbub font for transliteration -- google on Arabic Macintosh, has links to PC stuff too. That has the hamza and ayn I like, 02BE and 02BF in the Unicode hex coding.

ʾ ʿ

Except they need to be larger, dammit. Don't know how to do that. If you agree to using those characters, I'll see if I can get the developers to add them to the special characters box, LARGE, so all you need to do is click on them. Zora 03:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

A Barnstar for You

		The Society Barnstar
		I hereby award you the Society Barnstar for enlightening the Wikipedia community about the Bahá'í Faith through your contributions. joturner 21:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I hope you realize your goal of visiting the Kaaba in Mecca is unrealistic. Not to be pessimistic. joturner 22:02, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Millerites

If the statement about the Bahai is going to be there it should be referenced in some way. Removing all of the book references leaves the statement without any support. Ansell 10:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Name tag

I noticed you put the U.S. Baha'i site on your nametag. I was thinking that you could make it so that people can reach that site by clicking on your star.

You could do this one of two ways; the {{click}} template, or by copying the image with a different name, such as cunado9star or something like that and have it redirected to the website, but make sure to also link it to the original image below the redirect. -LambaJan 05:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

You know... It's weird, so I went looking around at how to approach it in this particular instance so that I would know what to tell you, and I think that, because of the CSS formatting that requires multiple lines which aren't provided in the alias box in preferences, you probably can't actually use this template. The second option I mentioned should still work and is actually preferable anyway because it uses the system instead of nastily bypassing it like the click template. -LambaJan 04:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Ali ibn Abi Talib

How is the introduction destroyed, if I just try to correct something? I am not changing anything I am just trying to write the way Imam Ali’s AS name should be spelled and pronounced.Thank You Salman

MoS Arabic

Hi, on the talk page you said that "the current version doesn't work". I assume you mean that several of the characters don't show up properly on your system. I've added {{unicode}} around the accented characters. Do they display correctly now? Cheers, —Ruud 17:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Islam

Hi , I have included a new image in the talk page of the Islam template, please make your comments about it to be included in the template, thanks  «₪Mÿš†íc₪»  ^(T) 18:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hat tip

Gracias, señor Cunado. Your response to JBull on the Template:Islam talk page was truly what needed saying. Netscott 23:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Friendly tip

Sorry if I'm impeding, but I suggest that you may want to change the color of your username font on your signature to something other than red. Often, red links presuppose the presence of a dead link. If someone sees that your username is the color red they are not only less likely to visit your userpage, but are also prone to assuming you are a new user and may not take you as seriously. Just advice, cheers. — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE 08:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Edit warring

Stop edit warring. Your latest round was just "rv" with no further explanation or discussion whatsoever. That's unacceptable. --Cyde Weys 02:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Freedomfree2

Sorry Curando for the work I made you. I'm still new and don't know the strict behaviour here. Thanks for your attention and reconstruction.

your signature

G'day Cunado,

I notice you've got an external link to Baha'i US in your signature. External links in signatures are considered obnoxious and unnecessary promotion. We appreciate the work you've done on Baha'i-related stuff on Wikipedia, but external links in signatures are strongly frowned-upon here. Would you please consider removing the link? See WP:SIG for more information about the proper use of signatures on Wikipedia. Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 16:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The series vs. A series

Greetings Cuñado, I noticed that you had changed the template wording from A series to The series. If you make this change to the your making it sound as it is part of a definitive series... which definitely is not the case. It is part of a series but only inasmuch as it's a series based upon articles covering the same subject generally. Netscott 19:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Youngshoghi.jpg

My apologies, I removed the image from Wikimedia Commons, not realizing that English wikipedia had a duplicate local copy. Please excuse the error Bastique▼^parler _voir 16:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

"The" vs. "A"

Cuñado, forgive me but it's important that you know that if the wording is "The" that means that the series is definitive as in assembled whereas with "A" the series is definitive only in that the article that carries the template covers the same subject. If you continue to insist on using "the" I will be inclined to agree with Cyde. I apologize but I'm going to change it back now. Netscott 00:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Help with Arabic

Hi Cunado; yep, you got it right. Ahsanta. Masarra 06:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Selam Ahderom

Yup, I have seen it. I think it's ok, since the article is mostly concentrating on his academic pursuits and that he is from Africa (notice the editor who added it seems to be from Africa) It could be cleaned up, but I think at this point it should stay. -- Jeff3000 13:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

juan cole

hi. after raising hell for a few days over an unfair locked page and calling a bunch of editors over there NeoKon Likudniks i'm taking a sabbatical, but i saw your cole bahai post. there is some stuff one the web that i ran across when i googled, mostly in line with what you posted. "His interest in Iranian religion is further evident in his work on Baha'i studies, which eventuated in his 1998 book, Modernity and the Millennium: The Genesis of the Baha'i Faith in the Nineteenth Century Middle East (Columbia University Press)" http://www.mershon.ohio-state.edu/Events/05-06events/colej/jcole.htm There is a wealth of information needs to be in the article unfortuanately most of the effort has been wasted fighting scurrilous likudnik anti-semitism charges. Take Care!--Will314159 00:36, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I broke my vacation and made the entry. There's an hour and a half streaming video lecture by cole on that site that's fascinating. Take Care!--Will314159 01:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Bahai Faith Directory

Why do you keep removing that link from Bahai Faith? I think it's worked pretty well over at Islam. BhaiSaab ^talk 04:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

You could remove the links that are already there and use the directory instead. BhaiSaab ^talk 19:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

It's aesthetics
