Newroz (Kurdistan)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Newroz (Kurdistan), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Newroz as celebrated by Kurds. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 07:14, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Sacrificing

I don't think I'm sacrificing anything...Please explain what error you think I made.

Also, I went to your translation website. I'm a lover of languages and enjoy translation. Good luck with your endeavors. One thing I wanted to mention, totally for your benefit and not for mine, is regarding your motto "We are Native and Expert in Middle Eastern Languages" -- as a native English speaker, I believe it should be "We are Native Speakers and Expert in Middle Eastern Languages"...of course that is up to you--达伟 (talk) 08:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm glad to get all the information. I'm very sympathetic, but unfortunately there's not anything I can do to change the situation. However, if you'd like to share any more facts with me, I'm happy to listen. I'm sorry to hear about peoples' ignorance and I will try to educate myself more about Kurdish culture.--达伟 (talk) 08:36, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your caring. However kindly be careful and not allow monopolizing attempts whenever possible. There is a picture of Istanbul in the nowrouz article. Under the image it was written "Greater Iran". They are still dreaming about the great empire of the past and it is difficult for them to confirm that it is a Kurd, a different nation, who celebrates this festivity in Turkey. I fixed it however if not reverted.--Cyrus abdi (talk) 08:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I understand and will be on the lookout in the future. Can I ask you a question? Since you're an English translator can I make one other small suggestion to you regarding grammar?--08:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

sure! What is it?--Cyrus abdi (talk) 09:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

This might have been a totally random mistake, but I've noticed that people from many many countries make this mistake. You said: "it is only the Kurds who know what is newroz." It is important that you say, "it is only the Kurd who know what newroz is." That verb must come at the end to be correct. Thanks for being patient with my pedantry. Please ask me any questions in the future about grammar; I'm a native speaker of English and happy to help with anything. I can also help you with Chinese if you wanna learn some day!--达伟 (talk) 10:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you a billion for the correction. I won't forget it. Actually this happens automatically even though I know it is wrong.--Cyrus abdi (talk) 10:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. I fully understand what you're saying about being automatic since in most languages I know of, the verb is would come before the thing being described ("what is Newroz"), but English is just different. Also, "Thank you a billion" is not wrong, but you will sound more like a native if you say, "Thanks a billion" (or "thanks a million"). Cheers--达伟 (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Nowruz and the Kurds

Please stop pushing your agenda. Wikipedia has a number of policies including neutral point of view, undue weight, and summary style which set the style of manner of minority viewpoints. Also, the previous page title Newroz as celebrated by Kurds was decided by a consensus after some disagreements (see the talk page of that page), so please do not go against consensus by moving it again.

I second this request -- you're also violating WP:POVFORK and WP:AT, and you may be blocked if you continue this. --Kurdo777 (talk) 06:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I see I'm not the only one. Do this again, adding serious allegations sourced to blogs, and I will block you. Kevin (talk) 00:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
