Bashir II
Hi hbb, sorry for the late reply it was a super busy weekend. I will do a quick search in the coming days but we have to be careful with the sources. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 23:17, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Elie plus: No sweat, take your time y'akhi. Let me know whatever RS you could find. Happy Easter --Al Ameer (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Clue 1: I have the names of some of the master stonemasons who worked on the Beiteddine palace. here, this is an excerpt of this book. More to follow. I know of at least four palaces built by the Emir, two for himself and two for his sons. I will search where I read this information. three of those palaces survive, all three are in the Beiteddine area. The main and most opulent of these is Beiteddine itself, the second one is said to be built as a summer retreat (others say for his dowager) it survives now as the summer retreat of the archbishop of saida. the third one to survive is Mir amin palace, now a hotel ([1] pics), i tried to find the residence of Bashir's other son, I think it's in ruin in some part of the valley, have to ask locals -~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 13:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Elie plus: Cool, let me know if you can get your hands on some sources. By the way, I just saw the Arabic wiki page for Bashir, and I think it shows those four palaces you mentioned. Do you know if the sources that the Arabic page cites for Bashir's architectural legacy are available online? --Al Ameer (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- The arabic page mentions only Beiteddine palace. The article names Rustum and Youssef Moujaes as "famous stonemasons" (the ones mentioned in the above book). The Arabic version's tone is, like most articles on the arabic version written in a pompous and inadequate tone. Some of the passages are taken from a school textbook. Usable passages explain why Bashir decided to move his residence from Deir el Qamar: the Deir al Qamar palaces (Fakhreddin and others) were too small to accommodate him and the members of his court. Deir el Qamar was home for the Baz family and their supporters and he had killed two of the family heads. The town also harbored rival feudal lords such as the Nakads. The text says that he bought the hill over which he built the palace and drew water from Safa spring (Nabeh es-Safa) which he also bought; he appointed Khalil Attieh al-Dimashqi to oversee the works of drawing that spring's water to the palace (the palace had no water source). There is a common folk tale that says that a madman called "Akhwat Shanay" (the madman of Shanay- a town in the shouf) gave the prince the idea of drawing water into the palace by building a canal. The prince assigned to his male followers two days of unpaid labor per year for the construction of the canal. Another folk tale says that he cut of the hands of the masons which is not true according to the source. I will have to search for this source to verify all those passages but nowhere does the Ar text mention the other palaces. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 05:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Banu Kanz
Hello! Your submission of Banu Kanz at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Hi
Hi again, I had a question and I was not sure who to ask.. I was considering creating an article with the name of Operation Martyr Muath [2], should it have an article of its own or combined with Muath Al-Kasasbeh article? I considered this cause there's alot of information to add, including; public and international response, human rights organizations opinion, ISIS casualties, the female American hostage killed, targeted sites, etc.. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Makeandtoss: The operation is notable in itself so it could warrant a separate article. If you could provide a sufficient amount of reliably sourced material, I'd say go for it. You might want to create draft page first, i.e. User:Makeandtoss/Operation Martyr Muath, and then move it to mainspace. --Al Ameer (talk) 16:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Features Articles
Hi Al Ameer, I'm looking for some advice and thought i'd ask you given your record of bringing WP:Palestine related articles up the formal quality scale. Since you've worked on many GAs and DYKs, but haven't worked on an FA since 2007, do you view the latter as simply too time consuming to achieve? I have just brought Balfour Declaration to GA, and am debating whether I should try to go for the next step. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:01, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Oncenawhile: GA reviews are less arduous, involve one reviewer, but still require an article to be high quality i.e. comprehensive but focused, fully sourced to RS, good prose, written objectively, stable, etc. FAC's are another ballgame. The requirements are similar, but have to be near-perfect and require several reviewers to agree that it meets the highest standards. It could be exhaustive, but well worth it, since at the end of the process you have a really fantastic article and a Main Page feature. But indeed, the amount of time needed on an FA would prevent me from working on so many other articles that I'd love to improve, so I'm generally satisfied with DYKs and GAs. Just nominated Hasan al-Kharrat, but that article is small and the subject is really limited to one year of history, so the process hasn't been as exhaustive. I'd encourage you to work toward an FA for Balfour Declaration even if it takes time, because of the subject's obvious importance to the history of Palestine and the Middle East. You need to take a real good look at the FA requirements and, if possible, find FAs about similar documents to compare. --Al Ameer (talk) 23:13, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the encouragement. I will do some more research and figure out if I can make the time.
- Re al-Kharrat, that's a great article. It was an enjoyable read, and very interesting! Oncenawhile (talk) 20:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Oncenawhile: Good luck ;) And thanks, glad you liked it. --Al Ameer (talk) 21:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Feel like making an article about a Palestinian poet?
When creating the article for Musmus, few sources stated that a "well known" or a "legendary" poet named Rashid Hussein was born in that village. I couldn't find an article in English or Hebrew for that. I might make a stub with what I can find soon. I you have any knowlege about him, tell me (and of course if there's an article for him that I missed).--Bolter21 (talk to me) 08:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
I started a stub article (link=Rashid Hussein), I don't know if I will work on it too much, but there are sources. I belive you are more interested than me on this topic, so you would do a great job. Anyways, thanks for your edits on Musmus!--Bolter21 (talk to me) 09:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- He Bolter, no problem. Found a couple sources about the man, who I never heard of before you mentioned him. And thanks for re-establishing Musmus. That was one of the first articles I worked on, but it was a less-than basic stub and we decided to merge it into Ma'ale Iron. I'm glad you found the material necessary to give it its own page again. I think Huldra might have some sources on it too. Cheers, --Al Ameer (talk) 19:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Population updates
Hello Al Ameer son. I see you are updating the populations of some places in Israel. I've developed a template that does this automatically ({{Israel populations}}), and have been (slowly) adding it to articles. You add it like this. When the CBS add the new populations, we just update the template, and it updates all the articles. The "correct" names to use can be found in the template, or in my sandbox (you have to use the same name as the template to get it to display). Hope that it explains it well enough? Cheers, Number 57 20:46, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Number 57: Well that's a nifty way to do it. I'll go back and add the template to the articles I already updated. Cheers ;) --Al Ameer (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Number 57 I'm having trouble with towns that have a hyphen in their name like Majd al-Krum (Majd Al-Kurum), Daliyat al-Karmel and Jadeidi-Makr (Judeide-Maker). Even when I remove the hyphen, there's still no population. Do you know how to fix this? --Al Ameer (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- It seems that inside the template (you can see ) any word directly after a hyphen is lower case, so it should have been Majd Al-kurum (I've done that article). Does that solve the problem? Apologies about that. Number 57 20:23, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Number 57: Yep that fixed it. Thanks for the clarification, and for creating the template by the way, very convenient. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:32, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- No problem, I meant to do it years ago but never quite worked out how it could be done, but I came across a template that worked in a similar way and twigged! As you say, it's very convenient, and once we've finished adding it to all articles, we can update the population on 1,000+ articles in a single edit. Number 57 20:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Requesting language improve again
Hey, I made this edit adding a lot of new information to the Zalafa article (the one near Musmus) but I feel like the language there is not good. Could you do your magic? (If you need help in understanding what I wrote, ask)
Also, is there are place to ask people to imrpove the langauge? I don't like asking the same people repeatedly..--Bolter21 (talk to me) 23:01, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Bolter21: Made some copyedits, still needs a bit of clarifying though. I'll detail those points at the talk page a little later. As for copyedit requests, there is the Guild of Copy Editors, but requests there usually take a while to fulfill. The Guild should probably be reserved for those articles you intend to nominate for higher status, but that's up to you. For little things like the above request, you could just ask fellow editors you're familiar with, including myself. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Question about Hamulas
Hello, if I recall correct, you are an Israeli Arab. I don't know if it's only a Levantine thing or an Arab thing but it"ll be stupid to ask if you know about hamula. My question is, how do you say hamula in English? Until now I used the term clan. Since I am working on Arab villages with various hamulas and the matter doesn't have an article, I need a name that more English speakers will understand. I don't want to use "family" for obvious reasons. Also, how long can Wikipedia stand the non-existance of an article about one of the most fundemental things in Arab societies? The hamula. I like writing hamula.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 22:33, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Bolter. The hamula is indeed the rough equivalent of a "clan". I was actually going to create an article on hamula, but never got to starting it since my focus is always wandering. See User:Al Ameer son/Drafts#Hamula for some sources I collected. I don't know when I'll get to work on this article, but feel free to start it if you wish. I'll be glad to help but can't promise when. --Al Ameer (talk) 23:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Ottoman Jordan
Would it be appropriate to have a separate "Ottoman Jordan" article? Or is there too little information to add? --Makeandtoss (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Makeandtoss. Excuse me for the late reply, been busy lately. In principle, I don't see anything wrong with having an article called "History of Jordan under the Ottoman Empire" if there's sufficient information. However, because the current section is so small, I'm not sure if having a separate article is warranted. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to create a draft called User:Makeandtoss/Ottoman Jordan and see what kind of article you could build from available sources. If it's substantial enough, then create an article. If not, just move what you have in the draft to the Ottoman section. --Al Ameer (talk) 16:05, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Would you know if there are similar articles? So I can try to determine if a separate article would be appropriate. --Makeandtoss (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- For the Levantine countries, there are no similar articles yet. For Palestine, see History of Palestine#Ottoman era. It's extensive, but still missing important information for the late 19th century period. I was going to separate it from the article, but got distracted with other subjects. There's an Ottoman Syria article, but it's about the Levant and its scope is uncertain. The fact that other Levantine regions with far more recorded history under the Ottomans than Jordan do not currently have their own "Ottoman history" articles makes me think that expanding the section, instead of creating a separate article, is the better choice, at least for the time being. --Al Ameer (talk) 16:39, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Districts of south Lebanon
Hi, I have been trying to clean up a bit on Lebanon-articles lately, there are some problems:
On this map (which is typically linked from on all/most placed in Lebanon,) the South Governorate stretches quite far east. But if you look at the southern most part of that Governorate, that is: the Tyre District...it is much smaller.
It looks as if the Bint Jbeil District in that larger map is in the South Governorate, while it is now in Nabatieh Governorate (alas, not in its map!) Huldra (talk) 22:59, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- I am not sure if that is supposed to be a question or a notice, but:
- 1) The correct version is the one where the southern district is only in the West (confirmed with Google Maps, Open Street Map, Localiban and some old IDF maps I have on my pc)
- 2) I think this is an oppertunity to ask NordNordWest, the creator of this map to try and fix it. I woulddo it myself but my SVG editing skills can be compared to the US elections candidates.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 23:55, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- No problem, I will fix it. NNW (talk) 07:53, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- User:NordNordWest: Thanks! Note that the maps used in South Governorate and Nabatieh Governorate also needs updating. Also, the pushpin map used in the template on places like Deyrintar: how do you update them? Huldra (talk) 09:06, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- No problem, I will fix it. NNW (talk) 07:53, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- Pushpin maps like Deyrintar are already correct now because they use file:Lebanon adm location map.svg. If you still see the old map you have to empty your browser cache. The locator maps have to be updated, too, but that needs some time. I cannot do this while I am at work. :o) NNW (talk) 09:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I saw your request for a map for the article on the Numayrids; if you still need one, I'll be happy to try and make one. Ro4444 (talk) 20:33, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

- @Ro4444: I highly doubt you can create a map for this Numayrids, with all due respect and as a big fan of your maps, I mean the only thing you can do is outline the Byzantine-Numayrid border at Edessa and it's surrounding , but I'm interesting in seeing this work. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 21:56, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Alexis Ivanov: Don't see why a map could not be made. During the peak of Mani' ibn Shabib's reign, they held several cities and fortresses in the Diyar Mudar (Harran, Saruj, al-Raqqa, Qal'at Najm, Qal'at Ja'bar/Dawsar, al-Rahba, al-Qarqisiyah) and ostensibly the pastures/lands between and surrounding those places. --Al Ameer (talk) 22:17, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

During the peak of Mani' ibn Shabib's reign, they held several cities and fortresses in the Diyar Mudar (Harran, Saruj, al-Raqqa, Qal'at Najm, Qal'at Ja'bar/Dawsar, al-Rahba, al-Qarqisiyah) and ostensibly the pastures/lands between and surrounding those places. --Al Ameer (talk) 22:17, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Ro4444: I highly doubt you can create a map for this Numayrids, with all due respect and as a big fan of your maps, I mean the only thing you can do is outline the Byzantine-Numayrid border at Edessa and it's surrounding , but I'm interesting in seeing this work.
