Greetings,
I wrote an article on Pfizer Inc. and I titled it "فيزر". A friend suggested the title "فايزر". Do we need a sysop intervention to rename the title?
Thoughts?
Well.. Transliteration is something that we will always argue about.. as there are no set rules.. for example Microsoft can be مايكروسوفت or ميكروسوفت .. Linux can be لينكس or لاينكس or لينوكس and so on .. So there is not "Right-Way" for transliteration..
What I suggest here is using redirects.. Create a page with the name فايزر and in it put: #redirect [[فيزر]]
So one someone ask for the page with the other transliteration it will be found.. as well..
Yours Isam

Noted.
1) Masjed -> Al-Masjed without the nice pictures. 2) How do you guys would like to proceed with the Dictionary? We already have an interface for the words called Qamoose & Mini.Qamoose but I have a feeling you guys just need the source.

Can someone explain to me why "Einistien" article has an index box while "Newton" article doesn't? I went back and forth between the 2 articles to find where it is stated to no avail.
Thanks.

If you mean by "index" the Table of Content "فهرست" , then this is because the number of headers (between equal signs == ) in Newton's article is less than four, while their number in Einstein article is greater than four. It is the beuty of wiki coding :)

Just click the #1571;#1606;#1602;#1604; #1607;#1584;#1607; #1575;#1604;#1589;#1601;#1581;#1577; (move this page) link. A redirect will automatically be created from the old title.There are more instructions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_rename_(move)_a_pageAngela. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
