46 encyclopedia articles are great :)
Well maybe not _all_ are suitable for Wiki after all. I didn't mean to set high hopes but he has some nice material. Some articles off his web site are not suitable, though.
are those articles online ?
Yes sir. http://www.3llamteen.com/html/ I understood from him he has more but "we need to sit". Why I don't have doubts he is willing to give up his content? I know the authors mentality; similar to Wikipedians in a way.
can we take a look at them before putting them in the Arabic Wikipedia ?
Sure.
Wikipedia to get sued over Copyright violation :) We need to be sure that all content is Free.
I hope that this is not complicated..
Not at all.
BTW: what are the articles about ? topics ?
Moslem related.
Anther thing .. YOU ARE A MACHINE :) advocating Wikipedia where ever you walk :)
Well, lets hope we get something out of it. I am just PIS%$# at the article count and the quality compared to other languages. I mean no disrespect to everyone contributing but we owe it to ourselves to produce better output.
BTW, what lead to this guy was the meeting I held with the head of IT at the Kuwaiti gov. institution I promissed to visit. They didn't have what I wanted but they introduced me to the above web site owner and another dude from "جمعية إحياء التراث". Latter have tons of content and knowing the background of " جمعية إحياء التراث", I know they would love to have their content published. I don't want to set high hopes but I am trying to get rich content as I go.
