[edit] Roman Urdu
[edit] We will be progressive partners
Walaikum salam, dear! Thanx for your appreciation of my work, though it's not complete and I am looking towards you and Kitabparast to complete this work. Kitabparast has not yet added the Devnagri script alphabets to my table. If Devnagri is added, perhaps we will lay the foundation for the re-merging of Hindi & Urdu with common script. I will add Sindhi alphabets to that table to make it more useful. Hoping to listen from you soon. Syed Fayyaz Abbas
[edit] Christian revert
Your revert reasons were justified, however, you did not revert anything according to those reasons. Please see talk page if you disagree with editing concerns, try to refrain from editing from POV and not giving reasons for it, at least reasons that are relevant to the edit. However I do appreciate your edits, and hope to see more of them in the future. Thanks! Somerset219 22:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello Somerset219! The reason I made the revert was because you changed my edits by making a fullstop and then inserting "Other sects..." ([1]). The reason why I did this is because most Christians believe in the Holy Trinity. It is generally considered one of the central beliefs to Christianity. By making the full stop and starting a new sentence, it sounded like most Christians beleived in a non-trinitarian God while other Christians believed in a trinitarian God. Because of your edit, I added a comma and took out the "Other sects..." to describe God as Christianity views Him. I apologize if my edit explanation (The majority of Christians are Trinitarian (excluding Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses))was not clear. My edit summary was trying to say that because most Christians are trinitarian, I thought describing God with a trinitarian description was appropriate. However when you changed the word "Other" to "Most", the paragraph was factually correct and is now fine ([2]). I hope this helps explain myself. It was nice hearing from you and I hope you have a good day. God Bless. Jdas07 01:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hindu-Urdu Grammar
I took a look and will follow up as and when I can. However, the grammatical terms, etc. being used seem to be Hindi/Sanskrit-based, rather than Urdu...It's a good idea, though. I am not a formally trained grammarian; let's see who else we can get involved in this...
Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll check in and add Nastaliq as and when I can.

[edit] Holy Trinity
I have no problem with your reversion if some modern writers are using that verse in their arguments. I admit I've occasionally seen it, but in casual discussion and not in serious argument. A citation would be welcome, since it's surprising that anyone would rely on it.
By the way, there's no need to address me as you did. Subdeacons are minor clergy, simple liturgical functionaries with a few small privileges over the laity for merely practical reasons, and no such style is customary. I say this in full appreciation of your kind desire to be respectful. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- On looking it over in context, I'm afraid I'll be reverting it again. The section is for verses that provide implicit support for the Trinity; the Comma is explicit. There's also a paragraph discussing it a little further up the page, so it's redundant in the list. TCC (talk) (contribs) 10:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Advice please
Regarding Hindi-Urdu_grammar I received the following message from Cygnus_hansa:
- It is awful and atrocious that you have made some Calcutta or whatever transliteration in Hindustani grammar page. Please revert all pronunciation to IPA. It is wikipolicy to use IPA, and what you use has no proper standard backing it. Further, it was my condition for merger that transliterations would be in IPA. Cygnus_hansa 13:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not know IPA. Accordingly, I will revert to article to before my changes. I will then add in the nasta'līq and someone else--maybe Cygnus_hansa himself/herself--can add in the IPA. However, I fear that without consistent IPA to the article, even adding the nasta'līq might be considered futile. Please advise.
Until I receive your wise advice--you surely gave the gift of wisdom from the Holy Spirit--I will work on adding the Devanāgirī to the Roman Urdu table. Yours in Christ Jesus, khoda hafez, Kitabparast 15:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you very much, bhai saheb! I'm going to be leaving Karachi in a few hours to return to the States. I'll revert the article, and will then add in the Nasta'līq on the one page and the Devanāgarī on the other once I get land. Thanks for your help, advice, and great spirit!
