thread_title:  Qaramita? 

message: This page has come under sustained vandalism with attempts to continually delete content and remove links - specifically to give the Islamists' narrative of recent history. Therefore rv deletion of references to the role of Iran and the spread of Islamic fundamenatlism as an ideology in the 1970s, and as well as the consequent social affects. Sources that refer to terrorism in during the 1990s uprising are deleted as are links to the work of Bahrain's leading Marxist academic Abdulhadi Khalaf. -- Rick James Style 00:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Placed Al Qarmatians and Mongols under separate headings because the two periods have nothing in common and are seperated by hundreds of years.
:Will delete the Mongol heading if there's no more info and include the sentence there elsewhere. -- Dilmun 12:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections received. In which case will delete heading 'Mongol invasion' as there is not enough text to justify it as a separate section. Dilmun 12:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Al Qarmatians and Mongols 

message: In the lede sentence it says: "... which is thought to be an inaccurate folk etymology... according to some scholars ..." This sounds terribly weasily. Who thinks so? Which "scholars"? Also, I looked at the referenced url, which is an almost century-old source and long since outdated with respect to the Verethegna bit. I don't know if the term Bahrain derives from that or not, but if it does, then it would be 3rd century CE, which is pretty darn recent, and it sounds odd that a conquered kingdom would get the name "victorious". Moreover, Verethregna is certainly not a slayer of any dragon, least of all one named "Verethra", which means obstacle, and Verethregna means "one who overcomes obstacles", which essentially that divinity's role in the Avesta. And "one who overcomes obstacles" is of course "victorious", which is what "Bahram" means. See also Vahram#In_Avestan_scholarship. -- Fullstop 16:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The CAIS document referred to above has now been 'blacklisted' by wikipedia and references to it are being deleted across wikipedia by User:Siebrand (who edited the page yesterday to remove the links). The History of Bahrain page was rewritten in December 2006 and January 2007 using the CAIS document as the source. As there's agreement on the non suitability of this source these edits need to be reverted. Untangling this mess is going to be impossible, so I'm going to revert the page to the pre-CAIS edits. If this means that I've deleted an edit you've subsequently made, I hope that you will simply re-add the information. I accept that this isn't ideal, but what's the alternative? Let the current edits stand?

thread_title:  Confirmation CAIS blacklisted document 

message: Hi there, I just became a member and I tried to edit a section of an article but regretfully I have not succeeded. The section or sections I mean relate to the Bani Utbah or the Uttub section and the history of Bahrain since 1783. The Al Khalifa family, the current Royal Family in Bahrain IS a member of the Bani Utbah tribe. The battle in Zubarah in 1782 was between the Uttub, commanded by the Al Khalifa, and their followers and Shaikh Nasr bin Mathkoor. the Al Bin Ali tribe are an important section of the Bani Utbah or the Uttub but are by no means the only one. The person who wrote those sections shows a clear ciast against the Al Khalifa family and distorts the reader by twisted and if not outright false historical facts. sources backing my claims include but are not limited to Gulf Intelligence: Selections from the Records of the Bombay Government, No XXIV, especially pages 362-425 and 564-568, The Records of Bahrain 1820-1960, Vol I 1820-1868.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amk344 (talk • contribs) 18:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bani Utbah 

message: There should be some editing on the heavy "Al Bin Ali" promotion on this page.  Though this family may be very important on the part of the History of Bahrain, I can see that there is continuous and redundant promoting of this family and the repeated lines regarding the purchase of some land by one of these family members in 1699.  This should be only emphasized in the page pertaining to this family whereas in the history of Bahrain, it can be mentioned where the point is made that this family settled here before Al Khalifa, the current royals.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.193.241 (talk) 09:31, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

message: This article and Bahrain allude to other trade goods supporting its economy beyond slaves and pearls before the oil economy arose in the 20th century.  What were the goods originating in Bahrain or were traded there in the 18th and 19th centuries? patsw (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Iranian Revolution and social and political change 

message: Shi’ites in Bahrain also known as "Baharna" are the natives who lived in the Historical Region of Bahrain, spreading north to Basra and Kuwait in addition to the East province of Saudi Arabia (Al-Hassa, Al-Qatif). The Baharna are descended from Arabian tribes who had lived in the region since pre-Islamic times; prominent among them in those times were the tribes of Banu Abdul Qays and Rabi'a. 
Ṣa‘ṣa‘ah ibn Suhān and Zaid ibn Suhan (brothers) are companions of ‘Alī bin abi Talib (Prophet mohammed's cousin) from Abdul Qays Tribe. They were supporters of Ali when he was the Calipha during the first muslim civil war which divided the muslims into two parties Ali's (Shiítes) and Al-Kulafa' Al Rashdeen (Sunni's). Both of their graves lye in Bahrain and are still visited by Shi'ites to pay their respect. 
This was in the late 600's, Which is arround +-1200 years from what this section claims that Al Dawsari tribe first brought shi'ites to Bahrain in (1800's AD)????? 
Also Maitham Al Bahrani a famous Bahrani shiíte scolar (died in 1280 AD).
The claims by the writer of this section are observe, its either that the writer never read a history book or its a poor way from him to try to re-write the history as he want's it to be.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.25.135.121 (talk) 13:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
