Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yemen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alsalam Alikom All, I would like to join in this project. My name is Mohamed & my wiki username is User:bamakhrama

Can anyone tell me what to do?

My best guess would be to go the "Participants" section of the project page and sign up. After that, I'm fairly sure that the other members of the project will contact you. Actually, I'll add your username myself.Badbilltucker 20:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this post, so thanks Badbilltucker for adding bamakhrama. --Inahet 20:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Yemen

Hello, just thought I'd bring to your attention that Aymx has started a Portal:Yemen that could do with some work to get it up to speed. -- Earle Martin [t/c] 15:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bilateral relations discussion

I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Its nice to have NON-Yemenites in the Wiki project, BUT!

A Yemenite Muslim or Jew or Christian Yemeni (Ghassani) from Lebanon/Syria Or even better a non biased NON yemenite student/scholar. will have respect for his or (The Yemenite) Semitic past, but a certain member in this project is disrespecting our culture, which was the main reason. Many Yemenites don't want to join the group.

Why would a Yemeni deny that Yemen i "Asl Al Arab" thats every Yemenites pride. and only an Anti-Yemenite will try to down play the origin of Yemenis. --Skatewalk 22:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not Yemeni, but how am I anti-Yemenite? My views are based on those of historians. The Yemenis are descended mainly from the Sabaeans, Minaeans, Hadramis, Himyarites, and Qatabanians, not Arabs, who came onto the scene later. While in Arab tradition Yemen is often thought to be the original homeland of the original Qahtanite Arabs, evidence of Arabs (through early forms of the Arabic language) are found further north in Central and Northern Arabia, in what is now Saudi Arabia, not in Yemen. Many Ethiopians believe that they're the offspring of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, but this does not make it true. We have to distinguish between history and legend. It's fine to incorporate both on Wikipedia, as both are notable, but we have to state which is which. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 05:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Wrong, if you know anything about Yemenihistory, you will know that Saba, Minaeans, Hadramis, Himyaris.. ancestory goes to Qahtan! Did you even read teh basic history of Yemen by Al Hamdani? Are the Lebanese and Syrian Christians are just idiots by claiming Arab pure origin through Qahtan! Teh adnan arabs came from? Qahtani tribe Jarham. I read your contributions and you might not think you are Anti Yemeni. Bt you are saying the Arabs came later! The Arabs never came to Yemen! They originated from Yemen thats basic knowledge. I strongly disagree with many of your edits I saw (afrocentric), but thats not my interest. And I think Afrocentrics should balance off Eurocentrics. However, Yemen is not Egypt or the Tigray region its the core of the Arabs and Anti Yemeni edits will not be accepted. If you can respect something as basic the Arab Qahtani identity of Yemen (existed as far the time of Abraham, becaus Jurhum adopted Ishmael! thats around 2000BC), if you cant respect that. I am asking you politely to kep your hands off our history. --Skatewalk 09:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project banner

Hey folks; hope you don't mind, but I expanded your project banner to include some more parameters. If you don't like, feel free to revert. (: Blast [improve me] 13.06.07 0935 (UTC)

[edit] Incense Road

The article would benefit if someone versed in the history of Yemen would rate the article on the importance scale. Best Wishes, Havelock the Dane 21:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment page needs to be updated

Someone has been using the assessment page for comments. I added a brief header but Wikipedia:WikiProject Yemen/Assessment needs to be updated and linked to the appropriate pages. Currently, it appears as a link to the project template on all tagged talk pages. —Viriditas | Talk 10:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
