Your recent edits to Arabic coffee
Hello, Canbel. I'm intrigued by your recent edit to Arabic coffee. If, as you noted in your reversion of my addition of a distinction between Arabic and Turkish coffee "Arabic coffee is many types", then why did you remove the image of the watery, unsweetened light brown coffee which is commonly served in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states? Also, the customs described in that article are all common to the Gulf states and are not found in other parts of the Arab world. Turkish coffee, for example, is not commonly "served just a few centilitres at a time" or "just enough to cover the bottom of the cup"---- this is a custom of the Gulf states and again, is not found in other Arab countries. Turkish coffee and Arabic coffee are quite different from one another, as the manner of preparation and manner of serving are quite different. I leave it to you to make the necessary corrections to the article as I'm sure your intention is not to mislead readers of Wikipedia.--Akhooha (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, Akhooha. In fact, Arabic coffee has several types rather than a particular type; (qahwah shaqra (blonde coffee) it is prepared in Saudi Arabia, qahwah benih (brown coffee) it is prepared In the Levant, qahwah sādah ("plain coffee") it is prepared by Bedouins and in the Levant and the Gulf.--Canbel (talk) 23:18, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, Canbel. Thank you for your reply. I believe your misunderstanding of the categorizations of Arabic coffee and Turkish coffee stems from the unfortunately incorrect notion that Turkish coffee is a type of Arabic coffee. If you are able to read Arabic, I recommend that you read these articles in the Arabic Wikipedia: ar:قهوة عربية and ar:قهوة تركية. You will see that they are treated as two different types of coffee in terms of preparation, serving, and custom. To have an article which is essentially about Arabic coffee and incidentally include an image of Turkish coffee without mentioning the differences between the two is, I believe, a misleading distortion of actual fact and a disservice to Wikipedia users. I do not mean to minimize the efforts you've put forth in this article, but accuracy of definition is one of the most important aims of Wikipedia. --Akhooha (talk) 17:48, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- The coffee you are talking about is Saudi coffee and also in Qatar, UAE and Kuwait only, but what about the Levant, Egypt and the Maghreb. In Palestine, like we do not get this kind of coffee, but qahwah benih (brown coffee) and qahwah sādah (plain coffee), that we say Arabic coffee. This type of Arabic coffee is the most drinkable in the Levant, Iraq and Egypt--Canbel (talk) 06:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- You said: "The coffee you are talking about is Saudi coffee and also in Qatar, UAE and Kuwait only, but what about the Levant, Egypt and the Maghreb." ---- That's exactly my point. The coffee I'm talking about is the coffee that's being talked about in the article Arabic coffee. It is most definitely NOT the coffee that is drunk in Egypt, the Levant, or the Maghreb. Arabic coffee is a type of coffee beverage. Turkish coffee is a type of coffee beverage. Turkish coffee is not a type of Arabic coffee, nor is Arabic coffee a type of Turkish coffee. To say so would be like saying drip coffee is a type of espresso. Just because Turkish coffee happens to be consumed in many Arabic speaking countries does not make it a type of Arabic coffee. I think the basic problem is your failure to understand proper categorization. If you are unable to understand the two Arabic Wikipedia articles I pointed out to you, please have someone translate them for you ---- I think then that you will understand that two different types of coffee beverages are being discussed.--Akhooha (talk) 22:32, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Palestinian cuisine into Arabic coffee. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 10:05, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Diannaa I did.--Canbel (talk) 10:17, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- The article in question is List of Arabic salads, where you copied from List of salads without saying where you got the content.
Hi there and many thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Your input is much appreciated. I noticed your article about Arabic tea. I was wondering how this may be different to Tea culture which already includes sections of the various global tea drinking approaches. May I suggest merging the efforts? Jake Brockman (talk) 18:27, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, @Jake Brockman: Actually there are other articles about tea such as Australian, Chinese, British, Korean, Nepali, Taiwanese, Turkish, Vietnamese etc... It is not merged into Tea culture, then Arabic tea has many kinds, include: Sage (Maramia), Chamomile (Babooneh), Anise (Yansoon), Thyme (Za’atar), Cardamom (Hal), Moroccan Mint Tea (Atay), Mint (Na’na), Black Tea (etc) (I'm not yet finished).--Canbel (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- New filters for recent changes are now available as a beta feature on most wikis. You can turn it on in your preferences. Remaining wikis will have the new filters on 9 May. [1]
- When administrators, bureaucrats and stewards make a user a member of a user group they can now set an expiry date. A user group is for example "administrators" or "bots". This means that they can give someone user rights for a limited time. This is similar to how blocks and page protections can be limited in time. Special:UserRights will have new options for this. You can read more about user groups. [2]
Problems
- Since the data centre test last week the content translation tool has been disabled. This is because of a database problem. It will be back as soon as the problem has been solved. [3]
Changes this week
- The GuidedTour extension will be enabled on all wikis. This is a tool to explain to new users how to edit. [4]
- Wiktionary will handle interlanguage links in a new way. The Cognate extension will automatically link pages with the same title between Wiktionaries. For this to work all old interlanguage links have to be removed. You can read more about this. [5]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 April. It will be on all wikis from 27 April (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 25 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
