Information icon Hello, I'm Apaugasma. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Saudis, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please don't switch out information like numbers without also changing the sources, and please make sure you are using reliable sources (Twitter is self-published/social media and thus not reliable for Wikipedia's purposes). Thanks, ☿  Apaugasma ( talk  ) 19:37, 10 January 2023 (UTC) reply

July 2023

Information icon Hi Prosnu! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Foreign relations of Saudi Arabia into Foreign relations of South Korea. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 16:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Wādī

Hi. In relation to your edits in Guadalquivir, given that Seybold's Glossarium and R. Martí's Vocabulista include wādī and wād under the meaning of riuus or flumen, it is my understanding that river (río) should prevail as translation of 'wādī' in the context of hydronyms from Andalusi Arabic whenever specialised sources say so, irrespective of other (more common?) meanings in any other context.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Baal, you may be blocked from editing. Sinclairian ( talk) 13:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I was just adding the Arabic names to the pages which are part of the Arabian culture, the Nabateans were Arabs and their Arabic names clearly shows that, how is it that their names are written in Greek when they spoke Nabatean Arabic as a native language and you are not allowing me to put up their names
and Baal was part of ancient Syria so why the name is only in Hebrew? and not in Arabic as well and if not why not in Aramaic? do you have an issue with the Arabic language?
I did not change the information or altered it, so please show me the reason why not to add Arabic names? Prosnu ( talk) 13:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
As I have explained to you several times – Baal is not notably attested to in Arabic sources. He was not worshipped by Arabians, and his name is not found in Arabia outside of the generic noun ba'l to denote "master". Hebrew is not the only name listed for Baal, there is an explanatory footnote in the first sentence of the article which shows the name "Baal" is every relevant language, including Ugaritic and Phoenician – the languages spoken by the people who worshipped Baal in the first place. Likewise, as I said before, the only reason the Hebrew ba'al is listed outside of that explanatory footnote is because it is the direct etymological source for the English term "Baal", considering that Hebrew is the only Semitic language which doubled the a to produce Ba'al instead of Ba'l.
As for the Nabataeans, they neither spoke Modern Arabic nor wrote in the Arabic alphabet, so while they may have been of Arabic stock, you can't just add the Modern Arabic name for the kings, considering they also had Aramaic names and only officially left Aramaic inscriptions, we do not know what form or pronunciation their names would have had in their native Nabataean Arabic language.
I hope this clears up any residual confusion. Sinclairian ( talk) 15:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
It has been established that the Nabateans spoke Arabic as their native language, there is a type of Arabic poetry called Nabatean Poetry which is used in the Arabian Peninsula's modern music, so I can't understand how adding an Arabic name to an "Arabian" Semitic king's page is going to have a historical issue while adding their "Greek" name is important, the region was even called """Arabia""" Petraea during Roman times.
Their Arabic names are not a translation of Aramaic but clearly of Arabic origin, Arabic was already part of their language and Arabic is a language continuum, Modern Arabic is based on Classical and Old Arabic, it is not based on Modern Dialects
Arabic and Aramaic are both Semitic languages and Arabic is the modern prevalent language in all of the former Middle Eastern Semitic regions including Levant, Mesopotamia and Arabian Peninsula and these people speak Arabic nowadays. Prosnu ( talk) 16:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
