Guaifenesin protocol fixup

Can you take a look at your article Guaifenesin protocol, please? There was an initial typo that got fixed incorrectly, but it looks as if it doesn't really make a lot of sense anyway. I was hoping you could fix it up.

Tughra

Image:OttomanSultanAbduHamid.gif is not "the signature of Ottoman Sultan Abdu Hamid". It reads: "Muhammad Sabri, the scribe (Calligrapher)". The smaller writing on the right reads: "al-hilali". It's most probably post-Ottoman so I wouldn't be to shure about the copyright either. --Baba66 14:05, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! My response is on your talk page. Quadell (talk) 15:07, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)

Please seek further information on the source of this image from the site I've mentioned on the image descrption page or from whatever the actual source was. It appears quite possible that it is a copyright infringement but also quite likely that if asked politely the source may be willing to license this and other helpful images.

"Encyclopedia" links on talk pages

I'm not sure Google would approve of what you are doing on various talk pages. We disapprove of this kind of behavior when others promote their products, we should do the same for attempted promotion of Wikipedia. Your efforts are likely to get us penalized as a link-farming site: many copies of near-similar text (i.e. Wikipedia mirror sites) all linking to the same page. Please let natural processes promote Wikipedia instead. -- Karada 23:23, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I replied on your talk page. Quadell (talk) 13:37, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

9/11

I don't see the problem here; There is this link, and all I do is tell the viewer what that link is about. Now, you can say there are people who think things have not been covered up, but it's been proven that they are, in fact, FYI, this is exactly what 911truth emphasizes: We carefully review the articles, books, videos, sites and other resources published and linked at 911Truth.org. Of the many works about 9/11 now in circulation, we strive to promote the best. We urge everyone to fact-check, engage in due diligence, and research the issues from all angles. It is important to expose mistakes, and we are happy to correct our own when these occur. Some works about 9/11 forward ungrounded claims based on misinterpretations, distortions or even fabricated evidence. Others reveal racist or extremist biases. We avoid both types of distraction by focusing on the most promising lines of inquiry and bodies of evidence; those that have stood up to the scrutiny of peer review, have been subjected to expert analysis, and as a result are winning in the court of public opinion. Beyond issues of factual content, we prefer to disengage from individuals who employ vitriol or highly-charged rhetoric. We value positive and sober approaches over heavy-handed ones that might alienate potential allies.

Binladens

You're 100% correct - they do have a lot of influence, but the purpose of that sentence seemed only to advance the Michael Moore theory and didn't do much else for the article. Graft 13:45, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Pics copyright tags

Hi, thanks for adding images to Illegal prime and DeCSS; good work in thinking up a suitable illustration! I don't suppose you'd be willing to indicate precisely what the copyright status of those images is, e.g. {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}... etc? It'd be most helpful, cheers! — Matt 12:32, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! — Matt 21:40, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

User 66.93.166.174

As you've noted, this user has been making highly POV edits to Arab-Israeli conflict and Israeli-Palestinian conflict (some of which you've reverted). This editor has been extremely persistent, so I've protected the articles for now; what should be done next? Any advice or guidance would be helpful, I'm quite new at this. Jayjg 18:45, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

great job!

Thanks for the vfd rescue of cocaine anonymous. I am quite impressed and it is this kind of impression that makes me want to continue learning as a new wikipedian.--Jpittman 00:18, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hosni Mubarak

Hi,

I copied the script from the biography article (which I am hoping is accurate). I think it adds something to the list of Heads of State to see the names as they would appear written locally, whilst not detracting from the fact that the entry in the English Wikipedia is aimed at English readers.

I would really like to be able to do so for the entire list (and for other Arabic-speaking nations) but my knowledge of arabic is limited to matching the roman letters to the Arabic - and that in itself is not sufficient - so any assistance would be very much appreciated. --JohnArmagh 04:47, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I wish I could. I'm trying to get some other people to help out in this. – Quadell ^{(talk) (quiz)}[[]] 19:16, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

Picture

I just noticed you have a picture of yourself on your user page. Would you consider adding it to Wikipedia:Facebook? →Raul654 21:31, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

Arabic names

I just finished translating the names into Arabic script as per your request on the Arabic Wikipedia. I have some last names appearing as (...) since I don't know their Arabic names.

Regards,

Ahmad Al-rasheedan

Thank you so much! – Quadell ^{(talk) (quiz)}[[]] 19:16, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

I just updated the page you requested (Arabic script). I will finish the rest tonight. Alrasheedan

Ok, myself & user Khaled had done some damage to your Arabic

page. Enjoy. Alrasheedan

Ahmed al-Ghamdi

I see that you've done a lot of work on the Ahmed al-Ghamdi article but there was only a reference to the en article at the sep11:Ahmed Alghamdi article. Perhaps you'd like to copy your extensive work to sep11:Ahmed al-Ghamdi as well as here, so the September 11 place has it as well? Jamesday 09:31, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Wikiquote box

Hi Quadell, I've tried to frame a careful reply about this box; please look here if you're interested. Yours truly, Opus33 17:12, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi Quadell--I didn't take your remark to be rude, so no problem here. Thanks again for your helpful participation in this discussion. Opus33 15:36, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

September 11 Report

Hi Quadell. I believe in your last edit on the 9/11 attacks you are confusing two different reports. There is this one from 2002 and then there is this one from 2004. Alberuni 16:07, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

New report request

Topbanana, I love the reports you've put together! I have a request. Could you list all articles that contain "ISBN:"? It's a common mistake when listing an ISBN to say "ISBN: 0-000000-0" instead of "ISBN 0-000000-0", and there's no way to search for this currently. Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 19:32, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

Easily done. See User:Topbanana/Reports/This article may contain a badly formed ISBN reference. - TB 10:00, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

not-so-random act of kindness

Hi Quadell – for your kind encouragement in exposing myself to the wrath of the opponents of gender-neutral language reform, I hereby award you the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar. (The third of its kind :-) Fpahl 12:21, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

P.S.: What's a post-Libertarian? And what's the significance of the non-standard grammar in the first sentence of your user page? Symmetrization of first-person and third-person references? Is that related to Buddhism?

ISBN

Thanks for the ISBN changes! I was wondering how to fix those, now I know. Off to fix my other pages! Cacophony
