Abd al Hamid Ben Badis

Hello. Instead of adding two articles for the same person under two different names (this one and Shaykh Abd al Hamid Ben Badis), just create a redirect at the article with the "Shaykh" and redirect it to Abd al Hamid Ben Badis. To create a redirect, type

  1. REDIRECT Abd al Hamid Ben Badis.

Obviously, in any other situation, you would repalce the respective article name in between the two brackets. Pepsidrinka 19:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
