Talk:Farid al-Atrash

message: So far the spelling is Farid Al Attrach, however, according to his website, imdb name, and most sites that come up from a google search, it shows up as Farid el Atrache. Im not very sure if this page should be moved... Is there anything in wikipedia to disambiguate the transliteration of Arabic names? Asabbagh 04:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct name according to his website is Farid El Atrache but it is Farid Al Atrache in IMDB. I googled the internet using many variants of the name and found the most used one to be Farid El Atrache link which has 53 900 results, so, I moved the page. --Meno25 00:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This comment moved from the article:
:there is another film not listed called " Akheer kedba" shared with samia gamal, Ismail yaseen>>>>>>>>
I don't know if that's the right name of said missing film, if someone can verify (or correct) this, please do. Asabbagh 08:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move to Egypt 

message: Why is there no mention of his mother's origins? His mother was Lebanese and his father was Syrian. This should also be added to wiki Lebanon as well since his mother was Lebanese  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.132.117 (talk) 13:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  His MOTHER 

message: Farid was born in Syria to Syrian parents and later moved to Egypt. Asmahan is his sister. How can the articles call them Egyptians of Syrian origin? This is offensive and a lie. They was naturalized citizens in Egypt. they are both Syrians. The Atrash family is Syrian, there is absolutely nothing Egyptian about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Atrash —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.229.133.89 (talk) 07:42, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Egyptian" is a joke! 

message: *A clear-cut statement that Asmahan and Farid al-Atrash's migrant family to Egypt were granted Egyptian citizenship "وحصلت الأسرة علي الجنسية المصرية وظلت تنعم بها ومنهم اسمهان بالطبع", which can be translated to: "The whole family was granted Egyptian citizenship, and they enjoyed it, including Asmahan of course....", and can be found in this article dated 23 May 2008, by Abdel Fadil Taha in Al-Quds Al-Arabi, which is a very well respected Arabic newspaper.  First sentence of last paragraph.  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 07:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Diaa, things that has already been agreed upon at the Asmahan article, do you want to go through them one more time over here? although they are the exactly same things? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:39, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's just make it later...--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 23:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I must say I'm disappointed, didn't you say you wanted to finish this buy the end of the week? and this is only prolonging it.--Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 00:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you on all your points on this matter. I meant of course Asmahan when I said finish this. I think the matter with Asmahan is done unless AC raises more concerns. Till then improve the articles like you did with Asmahan. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 00:17, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Diaa, what do you mean by "I agree with you on all your points on this matter"?  and which articles are you referring to for SD to improve?  Why did you edit Farid's article before any discussion on this Talk page and before Asmahan was finished?  Also, you started with the lead, which is the reverse of the process you followed on Asmahan!  I am asking that you please revert this article to what it was last week until we finish Asmahan.  This distraction is causing delay in finishing Asmahan.  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 00:32, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted to this Lead because in the Asmahan war your lead was the one who stayed till the discussion had a clear consensus. This time it's SDs turn.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 00:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, that's fair enough.  Now, what do you mean by "I agree with you on all your points on this matter"?  and which articles are you referring to for SD to improve?  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 00:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That the discussion is getting prolonged...?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 00:44, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This does not answer my question.  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 00:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what you want. I'm referring to Asmahan and Farid for him to improve, which both clearly need reff improvements and expansions. I also agree that I don't want to go through exactly the same things if they are exactly the same things. We'll see later with concrete references if he was Egyptian-Syrian or not. I don't wanna get into this debate now.  If either of you has a lack of confidence in my mediating, I wouldn't have a problem abstaining from this discussion.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 01:15, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Diaa, no one is suggesting lack of confidence in your mediating effort; you're doing a great job.  However, on the one hand, you say leave Farid's for now, and on the other, you tell SD to improve it.  This is a bit confusing.  I thought that by "I agree with you on all your points on this matter," you were referring to the points to which you had responded by "done, done, removed, removed,... etc." in my absence.  You will probably agree that it gets a little suspicious when a mediator makes a statement like this to one of the disputing parties.  I also agree that we should not have to go through the entire debate for Farid's article.  The delay in Asmahan's article is caused, in my opinion, by Annyong and SD's criticisms that each and every letter there has to be referenced.  They are not even allowing introductory statements to paragraphs or connecting statements between referenced ones.  Referencing each letter in the article is taking too much of my time.  I have not seen that in other articles.  --Arab Cowboy (talk) 02:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stop editwarring 

message: Farid Al Atrash held the Lebanese nationality. He has a Syrian father and a Syrian nationality and a Lebanese mother and a Lebanese nationality. To write in the lead that he was Syrian-Egyptian would lead readers to believe that he had come from a Syrian and Egyptian bg. But he actually came from a Syrian-Lebanese bg. And since he held the Lebanese nationality the lead should be he was Syrian-Lebanese or vice versa, depending if you care about alphabetical order.

thread_title:  He had Lebanese Nationality 

message: I added the Trivia part where readers would find eyegrabing information regardinf Farid Al-Atrash. Also added the Family part with an old photo where readers can find more about Farid's family and how talented they all were in the music area.
The pieces added do not add any important part into the wiki, but it makes it fun to read and know more about Farid Al-Atrash.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haunteddeath (talk • contribs) 12:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
