User talk:Mohkum Shabbir: Difference between revisions

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
• Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
• If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
• The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Kirill ^[talk] [pf] 03:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

asalamualikum...

welcome to wikipedia. just saw your edits, looks like we share the same field of interest. Feel free to ask for assistance in editing or any wiki policy related issue. I would recommend Wikipedia:List of policies and Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines to better understand the encyclopediac style and manual. I can recall how my first edits and articles looked like, they were horrible ! lolzz any ways hope to see u around.

regards...

Walikumsalam, hope u r doing good. So first of all use sandbox to work on your incomplete article once they are complete then paste them in the article box. i will make a sand box for you on ur user page for battle of jalula. I saw the article yesterday it was in bad condition (as its in construction process right now, thts why i suggest use of sandbox as per wiki policies), i didnt reverted it back to original conditions thinking it might upset a newcomer user. Once its complete in the sandbox i will check it to wikify it. Maps are good, and they would be excellent if u try making them using inkscape its an excellent sofware best for map making (download it its free) and follow the conventional style of mapping (see my other maps on my user page).

I have written articles on almost every significant battle of early muslim conquest, except for battle of nihawand, i am currently exhausted so on a short break meanwhile working on remkming maps of battle of qadisiyah and yarmuk with inkscape, thts why i would apreciate if u try working on battle of nihawand's article too, it was a key battle. and dont forget to sign ur post by leaving four such tides ~ below ur post. regards and yes, dont show ur age on wikipedia remove it, or else every body will think "he's just a kid piss him off" i did tht mistake when i joined wikipedia, though i am 21 now but still its not an age tht most people think to be "mature". الله أكبرMohammad Adil 19:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• there u go thats ur sandbox User:Mohkum Shabbir/sandbox1. use it.

As for wikipedia's article making style and language style try reading the article of other battles i would suggest Battle of Yarmouk and Battle of Cannae. Eid Mubarak. الله أكبرMohammad Adil 19:37, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes jalula wasnt a key battle, its main purpose was to clear the northern iraq of persian garrison, to establish a firm base for Muslim rule west of zagros mountains (present day iraq). As for the article about zirrar ibn azwar and qa'qa ibn Amr, they are one of the most impressive commanders, infact it was Qa'qa who virtually commanded muslims at qadisiyah acting as a field commander from 2nd day till the last day. I would have created their article years ago if i had material available about them, there is no biography of them nor any source tht could even tell their birth date no one clearly knows when they died, and my sources are limited, its impossible to find some thing about them online and libraries in quetta sucks !

I can contribute about their military carrier, but as for their biography, try your luck, there might be some good "large" libraries in karachi try finding "tabqat ibn saad" or there is a series of biographies of campanions of prophet written by maulana shubli noumani library in quetta had only few of its volumes i checked in it and could't find their biography in it may be its their in some other volumes try finding them. I have plans for siege of jerusalem (1187) and battle of hattin, once i wrote them i will write about the military exploits of qa'qa and zarrar. Please check if u can find wht i requested u can contribute a lot using them. الله أكبرMohammad Adil 18:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Asalaumalikum, its really great to know that your dream have come true, our army need people like you who are into the battles and strategies not into the charm and glittering of army life, i have always said that there is a difference between a "soldier" and a "warrior", and definitely you are a valuable addition to the "warriors" of pak army, not soldiers..

Hello Mohkum Shabbir,

Thank you for the support and compliments, and I am extrememly sorry for the late response. Concerning the requests for making fan UBX for the personalities listed, I have to regret that I cannot do this soon as I am quite busy at the moment. Maybe, I can do this during December/January, when I am off school.

Once again, thanks for your support!
