Hi! I just noticed that Paul Anka is categorised as a "Canadian of Syrian descent" (and not as a "Canadian of Lebanese descent"). I know you and I discussed this a few weeks ago and you added a very helpful note to the text. I was about to delete the category, but thought I would touch base with you about it first.-- Vbd ( talk) 07:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Anas and thanks for your perserverance with the article. Thanks, Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 03:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Maps, Your labelled map is perfect. I made tests only. If we use this labelled map in governorate infobox; there will be only one map, in each governorate name will be Highlighted etc. What do you think? see governorates with this map. Must. T C 10:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Anas Salloum. Thanks for supporting my unsuccessful RFA this week under my old name, TeckWiz. I'm now known simply as User:R. I hope to keep helping and improving Wikipedia alongside you. --TeckWiz is now R Parlate Contribs @(Lets go Yankees!) 21:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I have fixed it now, sorry about that! I changed the first C back to a K but I forgot about the second one! Adam Bishop 07:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my my RfA, which was successful. I learned a lot from the comments, I appreciate everything that was said, and I'll do my best to deserve the community's trust. Thanks again! And thanks for your support. -- Shirahadasha 04:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Anas, I was wondering if you could help me out on a page, Ridvan. The page has some Arabic script that appears right-to-left on Firefox, but left-to-right in IE. I've tried fixing the problem by switching into IE, and rewriting the script there, but then that messes up the Firefox version. Have you seen this before? Can you help out? Regards, -- Jeff3000 20:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello there... I'm in the process of redesigning my user page ( User:Tariqabjotu/Redesign) and I wanted to have the first paragraph of my user page ("Tariqabjotu ... November 2006") translated into Arabic. There are a few links in the text that might help you out with meaning, just in case. If you are willing and able to provide a translation, that would be great (respond here or on my talk page or wherever). Otherwise, that's fine too; just tell me. -- tariqabjotu 09:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, almost 2 months ago you places a clean tag on Latifa's biography, I wonder If you have any cleaning up suggestions? radiant guy 10:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply on my previous msg.
I have permission from Latifa to distribute her photos in media and websites including wikipedia but whenever i upload a photo in wikipedia they always delete it. I am not sure what copyrights tag i should use, so can u help me? radiant guy 13:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there Rarelibra. Well, I was talking with a friend of mine on maps, and he told me about you. Browsing through your map work and user page, I think you're the guy we're looking for. We, in the fairly new WikiProject Syria, are looking for maps of the 60 districts of the 13 governorates of Syria. They're actually 14 governorates, but Damascus already has a map. I don't know if you are busy or have higher priorities in this time, but I would really appreciate if you can do us this favor. I don't know if you're going to be able to find the needed map resources, because I couldn't. If you can, I would like it if the maps used uniform colors. Again, I'm busy myself and would be fine waiting for the maps, so take your time. :-) Let me know if you can help. — Anas talk? 14:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Here is the prototype - waiting for your comments for update, and if you pass me the names, I can insert those as well! :) Rarelibra 14:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I went ahead and added these to the [ ATLAS]. :) Rarelibra 15:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe I'm not going to need any names. I might use markers and labels for every district in an infobox, much like how the folks did it in Template:Infobox Indian Jurisdiction. The map looks good, thanks a lot. I might make some modifications in the future to the maps you create, I hope that will be fine with you. I found a map of the districts of Aleppo Governorate. However, I think that there is an error in the map; the district labeled "Aleppo city" includes the one labeled "Samaan", i.e. both are one district. I am still trying to look for the remaining maps! Regards, Anas talk? 14:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
My friend - a VERY nice touch you did with the map for Idlib! Lucky for us that you speak Arabic and can find those websites! Rarelibra 13:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Anas. Yes, I would definitely appreciate if you could tell me where the project is currently standing, and possibly tell me where I could help out. Thanks. Asabbagh 09:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Anas Salloum, for your support on my recent RfA, which recently passed 54/1/1. I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations. I will certainly take the constructive criticism I recieved to heart. Please, if you have any comments or complaints about my actions as an administrator, leave a note on my talk page. Thank you again· -- Selket Talk 18:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC) |
Thanks for your support and kind words subsequent to the closure of my successful RFA. I'm thrilled, to say the least, to see that I have the support of the WP community and hope I can continue to serve them in the best way possible, to make this encyclopaedia a better place for all. Thanks again... The Rambling Man 19:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
..We got 'em! I almost gave up hope, so I was searching online today, trying all kinds of search strategies, and of course, found nothing. I accidentally clicked on the CBS-SYR (Central Bureau of Statistics) in my bookmarks folder, and what I immediately noticed was the new design and the major overhaul in the website. I had visited it yesterday night and there was nothing. I immediately started looking for any helpful new additions, and there they were: every districts map we need! They're heaven-sent. Here they are:
They're not exactly the best maps you can find, but at this point I'll take anything. Of course, you can take your time, I will probably not be around until Saturday, after I finish my SAT test, which is haunting me. Thanks in advance. Cheers! — Anas talk? 17:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I was just thinking ... since you speak/understand Arabic, would it be possible for you to assist me in finding administrative maps for other Arabic-speaking nations? For example, I am looking for maps of the districts of Yemen, Egypt, and Tunisia... would that be possible? :) Rarelibra 20:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rarelibra. I searched for maps for the subdivisions of Egypt. In Egypt, a governorate has several regions (markaz) and each has several cities and districts. There are 166 regions in the 27 governorates of Egypt. The capital governorate, Al-Qahira (Cairo), has no regions. I've found four ready and perfect maps in Commons:
Here is a list of the maps of all the remaining governorates, except Cairo of course:
However, in those maps, the regions, their capital cities, and some districts are all together shown, so it is quite chaotic. Maybe you can contact User:Mohammed Khalil, the creator of the maps from Commons, to ask him where he might have got the maps. As for the labels, that will be a little too difficult and strenuous for me. To get the names, I would have to go through the pain of finding the standard English transliteration of the name, and believe you me, that is not easy. This might be helpful.
Iraq's district maps can be found in the Districts of Iraq article. Bahrain's municipalities are here. In Libya, the second-level administrative divisions are cities, not regions or districts; this is the case in Qatar too, where every municipality has one city. In the United Arab Emirates, every emirate has a capital city and many towns; some have exclaves. Tunisia, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia remain. I can't promise you anything. Honestly, I think I won't have the time to find them, if they are anywhere online. Got to go now. Regards, Anas talk? 19:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I cannot believe this McTrixie character that accused me of racism in my maps. What has wiki come to when you can accuse someone of something like racism within maps? :( This is too much. Rarelibra 17:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, Anas. If you get a chance, could you pop over to the article on glans and see what's happening. I have tried to be patient, but am having a little difficulty. Thanks. Esseh 23:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey - are the two purple areas on THIS MAP the same? I am finishing up these maps for you. Rarelibra 15:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for making new maps. I knew mine weren't very good anyway. LittleDan talk 01:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, would you happen to have any good sources for this article? I haven't found many, here are the ones I have so far: [1], [2], and [3] (beware of this last one, its pages keep reloading in firefox, but it works fine in explorer.) Most of the search results for "Syrian Canadian" return pages about Maher Arar, unfortunately. Asabbagh 10:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your wonderful words and warm wishes, dear Anas! :) It's so nice to see you're doing well, and seeing your friendly sig at my talk page again gave me a beautiful smile. I'm so sorry it took me 3 days to get back to you, sweetie - these last days, time seems to escape me like sand through my fingers! I hope to see you again often, and watching your impressive presence in almost every aspect of our project, I'm positive we will ;) have a beautiful weekend!

Hi Anas, thanks for your support in my RfA, which passed unopposed. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. -- Seattle Skier (talk) 19:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Anas -- good to hear from you and thanks for the tip. I never seem to quite "get" what the system does automatically and what I have to do, so I tend to err on the "over identify" side. Oh -- and "Su" works better than "Swan" in conversation -- and you are welcome to use my name. :-) Cyg-nifier 23:02, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Anas - I hope that you are well, it has been a while since we last connected! I really appreciated the feedback and support that you provided in January when I was working towards FA status for the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan article, and I have recently been assisting Erdling with rewriting the article on Aga Khan II. He's put it up for peer review and I was wondering if you would have a moment to read the article and comment on it. Your input would be much appreciated! Best regards Cimm [talk] 15:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Ahlan wa sahlan. We have a discussion regarding the correct translation and the actual meaning of something written by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. We might need an opinion from some native arabic speakers in order to reach consensus. If this caught your interest, feel free to join our discussion at Talk:Hadith of Sabra reporting on the prohibition of Mut'ah. Thank you. Hamid-Masri 11:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
