As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Amer Al-Fayez, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:LINFAN01, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=LINFAN01|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:35, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Rosguill for your addition to my talk page. I have now added a statement on my profile that provides that I'm in no way being compensated by any party for my edits. I'm merely interested in the family that the person in this article is a part of for the time being as I write my book on internal Jordanian politics, which is highly-driven by families. This person is a high profile individual and famous in Jordan, and Wikipedia serves audiences from all kinds of backgrounds, so it's only appropriate that this page and the information on it is made publicly available through Wikipedia. I haven't addressed this issue before because I was unaware of the steps necessary to address it, as I'm not very able in navigating the website. Therefore, thank you for providing me with the information pertaining to clearing my name of being paid to edit. LINFAN01 (talk) 01:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Rashid Ali al-Gaylani

Hello. Just to let you know I have reverted your move, and will be reverting all your changes of the spelling on other articles. As far as I can see, Rashid Ali al-Gaylani is the common English spelling, while the spelling you used does not even register on Google Ngrams. Cheers, Number 57 11:41, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Number 57, al-Gaylani is how Rashid Ali's name has been incorrectly adapted by Western sources in the 40s when he was most politically active. The name in Arabic الجيلاني commonly translates to Al-Gilani or Al-Jilani, with the word Gilani derived from the city of Gilan in Iran where Rashid Ali's ancestor came from. His ancestor, Abdul Qader Gilani, has a Wikipedia page with my same spelling. It's non-sensical to continue using an incorrect and unpopular spelling of the name when so many known alternative examples exist on WIkipedia. Also, when discussing Arabic names, explaining that "Rashid Ali al-Gaylani is the common English spelling" isn't appropriate since the name is made of multiple parts, the first name which is correct, Rashid Ali, and the last name which is incorrect in it's current form. When Arabic is translated to English, the translation relies on a highly phonetic spelling derived from English and not the other way around, I've been an Arabic speak for over 20 years now, and I promise you that the pronunciation of Gaylani and جيلاني are completely different, which only further proves that this spelling is an unnecessary mistake to keep holding on to. So, unless the spelling for the city of Gilan, the Sufi preacher Abdul Qader Gilani are both incorrect, or modern translations from Arabic to English completely changed their rules for the worse, the spelling Gaylani is incorrect. LINFAN01 (talk) 05:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

The relevant policy here is WP:COMMONNAME, and the current title appears to be the common name ( and not "unpopular"). Historic names after often spelt differently to modern phonetic conventions (for example Chaim Weizmann (modern usage is "Haim" and his grandson's surname became Weizman). Number 57 10:04, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Actually, the current title is the least common name because no one has ever referred to Al-Gilani as al-Gaylani. The Weizmann example is irrelevant because this isn't a case of a spelling that has changed over time, but rather an incorrect spelling further propagated by the title used on Wikipedia. Sources before the 40s had a variation of Al-Gilani which is phonetically accurate, and still used wildly today. If you want to examine commonality, find me another person that goes by al-Gaylani. Again, you have to separate the last name from the full name, because it's a two part name where there still exists some leeway for different spellings, but al-Gaylani is so far away from those that it is non-sensical to keep it's adoption. Al-Gilani, Al-Gillani, Al-Jilani, Al-Jillani, and variations without the hyphen and without a space between the Al which means "the" and Gilani. LINFAN01 (talk) 20:46, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you would make such a bizarre claim (that "no one has ever referred to Al-Gilani as al-Gaylani"). I provided the evidence in my first comment on your talk page, i.e. Google Ngrams (which shows the spelling was in use going all the way back to 1937). This is also the spelling Encyclopedia Britannica use. Of the other spellings you propose, none of them register on NGrams except "al-Gilani", but this is less common than the current title. I am quite concerned by you ignoring such basic evidence. Cheers, Number 57 22:14, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Again you make the mistake of conflating the page's title with the Al-Gilani name. But since you're unceasingly ignorant of all the evidence that al-Gaylani is simply an incorrect spelling, I will no longer pursue the matter. Let the page have this mistake forever. LINFAN01 (talk) 23:09, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

It's not a mistake or ignorance. This is how his name is commonly spelled. Number 57 11:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
