I see you collapsed the off-topic sparring at WT:EU. I was worried such a move would be met with resistance. Happy to see I was wrong. Do you think the same should be attempted at Talk:Greece?
from that post. While it's harder to pick a starting point (short of blanking the whole discussion), I was considering doing the same from your 18:27, 17 October post to the end of Talk:Greece#Wording for an RfC.

The Good Article review of the article has started. There are issues needed to be fixed. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 19:00, 21 November 2012 (UTC) Just letting you know there are outstanding issues in the review. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 19:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Owain ab Edwin of Tegeingl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ynys Môn (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wow, where did they come from. Great efforts in looking for and building those lovely niche articles on Welsh topics. This WikiProject salutes you. Diolch. FruitMonkey (talk) 00:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC) |
I love your use of sources for your pages. However, I feel compelled to urge a sense of judicious caution with overly emphasizing Wolcott as a source (as I noticed he is cited often on Owain ab Edwin of Tegeingl page). Though I respect his site Ancient Welsh Studies and the work he has done, his essays are not published (and therefore not peer reviewed as far as I can tell), and I have noticed a departure from mainstream Welsh studies of this period on more then a few points. But, he is a great starting off point to be sure. ♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 04:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello DeCausa. Are you interested to share your two cents at Talk:Taiwan#Split? (Interestingly, contributors in both Talk:Taiwan#Split and Talk:Cyprus#Split the article made use of arguments such as "insignificant", "people won't understand", and "people who aren't familiar will be confused".) 14.0.208.68 (talk) 23:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

On10 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Lass of Richmond Hill, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that "The Lass of Richmond Hill", said to be one of George III's favourite songs, was written by an Irish republican revolutionary leader who became a British government double agent? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Lass of Richmond Hill. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Saudi Arabia. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus 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:
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. That I agree with you is irrelevant... both of you need to cool it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:44, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I've started the article although, as it's still a work in process, it needs a bit of massaging from someone familiar with the subject. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

The diagram I put onto the Islam page has existed on the Fiqh page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiqh for a very long time
Every hadith book has chains of Hadith narration that follow these chains, as these people taught each other.
In some cases like with Ali > Hussein > Zayn al Abidin > Muhammad al Baqir > Jafar al sadiq, they were their sons and they taught them. Aisha was the wife of Muhammad and she taught Qasim her nephew. Ahmad ibn Hanbal was the student of Al Shafi and he was the student of Malik ibn Anas. Abu Yusuf was the student of Abu Hanifa. Every book and every wikipage about these people says this.
Just look at the wiki pages of these people and then undo the delete
Thanks
Please undo my changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnleeds1 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I made a lot of text changes above the diagram. The text changes have references where necessary I could put more references in. I have been researching these changes for months and have been through hundreds of book.
I understand what you are saying about the diagram. The diagram is a bit complex for people who do not have any knowledge of islam.
How do you suggest I lay out the diagram. There is another diagram on the Islam page called "Some of the major movements in Islam."
On the Shia Islam page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_Islam There is the diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tree_shia_islam_n3_.pdf
This kind of a format is OK for showing the splits within Shia Islam as the sects are based of Father to Son. One sect chose one brother and the other the other.
But with the Sunnis there is no father to son relationship. It is the best man for the job. Any one could be a jurist. Therefore you look at who was the teacher of that jurist. Its the same with the relationship between the Sunnis and the Shia jurists. I was just trying to show that the founders of 2 sunni fiqh schools of thought worked together with Jafar al-Sadiq who the shia follow in the same mosque, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. And they had the same teachers.
On the Christianity Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Page there is the diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Christianity_Branches.svg That is clearer for showing the denominations in Christianity.
But its not suitable for showing the relationship between the early jurist sunnis follow and the early jurist the shia follow.
Have a think about it. I am open to suggestions. I could add the references for the diagram and put an explanation or change the diagram.
On the talk page of the Islam page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Islam It says This article has been reviewed by The Denver Post on April 30, 2007.
The first thing they said was:
"The History section still needs to be shifted a bit more in the direction of religious history away from political history. It also needs to be integrated better internally; some sections do not flow properly"
So I was just putting in the religious history
--Johnleeds1 (talk) 23:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I have removed the diagram as you suggested and changed the text so that it is easier to understand and added more references. Thanks for your input.
Hi. Just noting that you have made 4 reverts on Mecca. You should be aware of WP:3RR which can result in you being blocked. Now, I would have suggested a self-revert but I don't care much for this issue. One point though, you didn't give a reason for removing "the most serious of which". That was an informative statement and can be easily be supported by other sources. Wiqi(55) 22:11, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I see you on Persian Gulf's talk page, so I thought I'd bug you. I've found a user changing "Persian Gulf" to the "Arabian Gulf". What is the policy on this? Bgwhite (talk) 22:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi DeCausa, I noticed you have done a lot of work on the Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz article lately. Now I wonder if you could assist in cleaning the Wikiquote article here?
What is needed is that sources are added correctly. The current article for example does mention "Mawaaqif madhee.ah fee hayaat al-Imaam 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz - Page 196". The only conformation I can find on the web is this website which content is copied about 95%, which is not allowed. So if no other sources can be found, I guess we should delete the whole article, which would be a shame. Do you see a solution here? -- Mdd (talk) 02:16, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I started a talk section relating to TRGUY's repeated changes to Prophecy of the Popes - thought I'd mention it as you just reverted his last change. Link is [[1]]Blelbach (talk) 07:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
There is a discussion started on the Alawite talk page. You can weigh in there on your revert. Alatari (talk) 22:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Disagree on value of the events now twice deleted from article. Controversial as these events were at the time, Pope Francis considers them of great spiritual value since he approved the promotio of their process towards beatification. Pls reconsider your brutal approach to redacting material that is not just 'material'.MrsKrishan (talk) 16:58, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Dear sir, it has come to my attention that you gave a verbal agreement for a series of tweaks on Talk:Salafi; to date, said tweaks have not been delivered. I'm sure that the gravity of such a situation is apparent to you and that the promised tweaks will soon arrive. Thank you. MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:38, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Remember this discussion? Take a look at this and this. I can barely follow what she's saying except for the insulting parts. Your read on her was probably correct, although, frankly, I'm not sure what to do about it, at least at this point.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:25, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

In case you already took the page off your watch-list, it doesn't seem to have exploded. In a fit of mad optimism, I even created Talk:Byzantine Empire#Rewriting the lead. If you're feeling up to it, I'd be interested in your input. —Sowlos 23:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting my recent edit to the article Roman emperor. I recognised the remark in the article as rather remarkable, so I felt the need to reword it. But really, my addition should have been reliable. JIP | Talk 18:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
… for not abandoning Talk:Byzantine Empire. Your input was very helpful. —Sowlos 10:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
