Your edits to 1955

Dear Karim Hassan,
Some of your edits on the page 1955 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:

The person you added doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia page.

If the page exists, check that you've spelled and capitalized the name the same way as the article, and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved. Please see this page for help. PseudoBot (talk) 20:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Julius Caesar's birth year

Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. Please note that the source consensus for Julius Caesar's birth year favours 100 BC. A somewhat weaker case can be made for 102. I don't know where you got 101, but it doesn't appear to be justified by sources or by any form of edit summary - so I've reverted. Thanks, Haploidavey (talk) 16:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hassan Gemei

A tag has been placed on Hassan Gemei requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Herod the Great

There is some discussion about the years of Herod's birth and death, but the ones currently in the article are the ones most commonly used. Please don't change them without prior discussion on the talk page. Thank you! Favonian (talk) 18:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Hassan Gemiey has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 20:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Julius Caesar's birth year

Please note the previous comment on this topic some posts above this one. As stated by the article references, the scholarly consensus favours a birth year of 100 BC. If you wish to challenge this, please do so on the talk-page and supply supporting scholarly references for your claim. Please also remember to justify substantive changes with edit summaries. Thank you. Haploidavey (talk) 17:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

The same applies to your repeated change to the article Caesar. Please don't revert without justifcation. Thank you. Haploidavey (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

And might I add: Cleopatra VII Favonian (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

February 2010

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Caesar, you will be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 18:03, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Haploidavey (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Saladin

Hello, the name of an article is determined by the most common English name for the subject of the article. See WP:NC and WP:ENGLISH. Saladin is the common English spelling for صلاح الدين. Please do not continue moving that page. Thank you, nableezy - 06:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Abdelbasset Gemiey has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Abdelbasset Gemiey. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Abdelbasset Gemiey, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Favonian (talk) 10:45, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Uthman -> Othman

Please discuss this change first before applying it as it has a wide impact considering the number of articles at affects. Uthman is the correct transliteration of the Arabic name. → AA ^(talk) — 18:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ahmed Naguib

A tag has been placed on Ahmed Naguib requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Favonian (talk) 18:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Spelling

Please discuss changes to standards in the article first (e.g. Saladin). Wikipedia does not use the "al" connective for "sun" letters as you can see if you browse the article itself and any changes of this type need to be discussed and agreed. → AA ^(talk) — 19:34, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Abdelbasset Gemiey

I have nominated Abdelbasset Gemiey, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdelbasset Gemiey. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Favonian (talk) 11:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Repeated, undiscussed renaming. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Some useful links, and a comment

Sorry this is late, I know you've been here a while:

Welcome!

Hello, Karim Hassan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Note

There have been some issues with your editing of birth/death dates, page moves, and page creation. I see that you have not responded to any of these comments. Please:

• Discuss issues with other editors (this is a collaborative endeavor), and
• Please don't make any more page moves unless you've proposed it on the talk page of the article, had no objections for a couple of days, or get consensus for the move. You don't seem to understand our naming conventions, so your page moves are all being reverted, and that's unproductive for everyone.

Thanks, --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Last chance

Please do not make me block you for something so silly. If you move a page without discussion beforehand, I will block this account from editing. As I said a week ago, while normally people are encouraged to be bold, it is apparent that you don't understand naming conventions here (every move you've made has been reverted). This is a collaborative work; if you refuse to discuss, you should contribute to some other website. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
