Hi! On Dongxiang people two images have been labeled as Dongxiang language in Arabic script:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Flickr_-_Omar_A._-_Linxia.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Flickr_-_Omar_A._-_IMG_2200.jpg
While I have some understanding about Dongxiang language, I cannot read the Arabic script. But we would know much more if you could tell whether these images are actually in Arabic or rather in some other language? Thanks for your help! G Purevdorj (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Esperanto phonology, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rolled R (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not add Malayalam text to the article as it was discussed and decided by the community on WT:IND that we will not add texts other than the IPA name. I hope you'll understand. Cheers! TheSpecialUser TSU 10:44, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mahmud! Can you please create an article on Chittagong in Egyptian Arabic Language? Thanks --Zayeem (talk) 15:20, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
That is why I included a borderline case between an ocenaic climate and a humid continental climate since the mean temperature in that article would probably be around −3 °C (27 °F) and 0 °C (32 °F) in January, making it a borderline case.Ssbbplayer (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi there! I'm writing to you just because I've seen some of your edit on the page about the Ottoman language, so I'm here to kindly ask your help to find the correct name in Ottoman script (arabic alphabet and its transliteration) for the Ottoman Navy. At the Italian language wikipedia we have a naming policy for military units, and we have to use the original name for each country armed force. The problem is that the current name is Osmanlı Donanması wich seem to be the modern turkish name. Can you help me? Thank you in advance. Best regards. --Nicola Romani (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mahmud. The Wikipedia convention is to spell placenames in Germany with an "ß" as in the original, unless there is widespread English usage with "ss" e.g. Giessen. It would therefore be appreciated if you did not annotate articles with an alternative spelling using "ss" e.g. at Meißendorf etc. If you disagree with the convention, please raise it at the WikiProject Germany talk page, but be aware that this subject has been thrashed out before. Cheers. --Bermicourt (talk) 20:19, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

--Mahmudmasri (talk) 09:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)Hi Mahmud, please do not add narrow no-break spaces ( 
) to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Nice, per the relevant part of the Manual of Style. In fact a normal non-breaking space makes no sense to me where you're putting it: is there a particular reason you're adding them? Graham87 15:23, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mahmud, could you add a source to back your recent additions to the Etymology section of the Gaza article. Thank you. --Al Ameer son (talk) 14:24, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
First of all, let me start by saying that nowhere is the spelling ملليم used, officially or unofficially. Go back to pictures of 1 and 2 millieme coins and you'll see for yourself: http://p.twimg.com/A2FagJUCYAAeQrB.jpg:large (one ل with a shadda, not two ل's) and http://my.mec.biz/attachment.php?attachmentid=123025&d=1330973298 (one ل without a shadda). Second, about the pronunciation of "geni" in Alexandria. Not in my life have I heard anyone say it with the definite article while retaining the pronunciation of the L in "el". It's almost all the time merged with the word to be "eg'geni". If in some cases it is indeed "el geni", then in this case you should mention both pronunciations, not just one.

Greetings!
Seeing that you've edited the article on Gainesville on Wikipedia, I'm inviting to the North Central Florida 2013 Great American Wiknic that will be on Saturday June 22, 2013, commencing at 1:00 pm, ten blocks north of UF campus in Gainesville,.
If you're able and inclined to come, please RSVP at at this URL.

"Köppen" is properly written with the umlaut. "Koppen" would have a different pronunciation. Even the article is called "Köppen climate classification". And you are mistaken: you do have to use diacritics where they are required; otherwise, the name/word is misspelt. I usually comment "no excuse" when I correct such a thing, as there truly is no excuse for leaving diacritics out. Wikipedia has a facility down below the composing space for inserting almost any character that you might need that is not on your keyboard. Failing that, there is always Microsoft Character Map.

This accusation is patently false. I made my revert precisely because you rounded off normal values which showed as .0. This is disrespectful of the source, which, apart from percentages, reports to the nearest one-tenth of a unit (it in fact multiplies by 10 for the final product). Regardless of whether ((Weather box)) properly displays them, per WP:MOS#Other dashes, proper − input is compulsory. So your edits have no basis (and are pointless) whatsoever.

Hi Mahmudmasri. Thank you for your message about my picture on Extreme weather events in Melbourne. The candles were on a bookshelf in my apartment, about 3 metres from the nearest window, and never in direct sunlight. I have experienced temperatures in the past of 42-43 degrees C, but this was the only occasion I have seen candles melt in this way. It is not an exaggeration, it actually happened. Therefore, I published it on the Wikipedia page as an illustration of the effect of the heat on that particular day in Melbourne. Kind regards, Cuddy Wifter (talk) 06:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi.
I am calling in reference to edits in Template:Infobox OS/doc. "Natural language" in computing is different from natural language in linguistics. While the latter refers to what you said, the former does not. In computing, the "natural language" is a counterpart of markup language and programming language. And it has nothing to do with language theory or interlanguage; it is just what developers use to refer to their localization resources.
"Human language", on the other hand, is a bad choice because markup languages and programming languages are also human languages. Even machine language is meant for humans. If you have a linguistics background and feel uncomfortable with "natural language", all you have to do is to consider the computing meaning.
Best regards,

Don't know whether it's true, but it seems to make sense, since the letters are given the same numerical value as the most closely-related letter with a fewer number of dots... AnonMoos (talk) 04:36, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that you have been working hard with the climate section in several articles and I want to thank you for doing it. Climate is probably one of the most under edited parts of this wiki, especially the data or the description about it. I also appreciate for changing the precipitation colour (with good reasons) in some of the weatherboxes to the green colour scheme. They look much better than with the blue colour scheme and also make the weatherbox easier to read. I find that it is more better in describing the vegetation (how thick it is) and show that precipitation contributes significantly to the growth of vegetation and hence make the landscape green. The blue colour does not really make this obvious, gives it a chilly impression on some places, and blends into the record lows, precip days and humidity. Keep up the good work.

In response to your comment on my page, I would respectfully point out that your editing comment read
The second part of your comment is incorrect in that, in Britain, it IS "chiefly called summer time" - in fact, not only "chiefly", but usually and officially. That is the reason that I reverted your edit.
From your comments on the Talk page of the article, I now understand that what you actually meant was:
or
Now that you've clarified your meaning, I do not disagree with you.
Incidentally, the reference linking 'summer time' and 'Britain' came about from my previous edit where I objected to 'summer time' merely being referred to as a British English variation, whereas the terminology is a national issue - not merely a language issue, and I did not want (at that time) to presume about terminology in other countries.
I note that you've already seen some of my subsequent edits, and I think that, between us, the overall result is an improvement. I hope you agree. TrevorD (talk) 15:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Mahmudmasri, you have continued to delete the arabeasy section of this page without providing a counter argument, please explain. 00:55, 28 August 2014 Mahmudmasri (talk | contribs) . . (30,086 bytes) (-160) . . (→Comparison table: no more transliterations) (undo)
Dear Mahmudmasri,
Concerning your removal of the Arabeasy system due to "no more non-prominent schemes" from the comparison table, this system has many automatic tools and users on the net, and will soon be featured in the Journal of Language and Cultural Education (jolace.com) at the end of January. It may be less prominent than some others, but is important due to its unique features of readability, 8 bit ascii compatibility and one-to-one mapping with Arabic. Could you please undo the changes.

Hello. To mass changes of colors (pastels, green) in the articles must be consensus. After discussion no consensus to use pastels and green colours. There is only a consensus to apply the violet instead blue in the code of weatherbox (mainly in "Average low °C (°F)", Record low °C (°F) line). Your changes to the colors (pastels, green) were automatically withdrawn. Subtropical-man talk
