[edit] Last Exit

There's a fine article about the Last Exit on Brooklyn on the SeattleWiki, if I do say so myself (I wrote most of it). I'm not sure if an external link to this would be relevant; Yasser damn near lived there in his high school years, and it is where he first got to play routinely against serious competition. Opinions sought: I shouldn't make the judgment, because it's basically my article. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, the very first admonition in the Wikipedia Manual of Style is: Be bold! Does that answer your question? :-) JFPerry 23:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but no, it doesn't. One of the other admonitions can be found in Wikipedia:Autobiography. I try to tread lightly areas that could be viewed by others vanity additions. But I'll take that remark as an endorsement to go ahead in this case. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:25, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic

I'm a little amused to see {{Arabic}} here. Yes, I suppose that since Yasser was born in Syria, at birth his name was written in Arabic, but I know him, and he's pretty darn culturally American. After all, we don't write out Emma Goldman's name in Yiddish. - Jmabel | Talk 20:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

His name is originally written using the Arabic script, so per WP:AMOS, adding it is only appropriate. —Anas ^talk? 11:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His name in Arabic

I am Syrian,so i know arabic;-)...It`s written ياسر سيراوان but some sited write it ياسر سيروان —The preceding unsigned comment was added by I Am Searching (talk • contribs) 1 October 2006.

Yep, absolutely right my friend. --Anas Salloum 08:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
