Abram name - it comes from Aramaic and it's Jewish edit

Hello. I'm writing because of your revert of my contribution. I've deleted the "Russian name" section in the Abram name, as it simply doesn't relate. Abram is a Jewish name, a Hebrew name and to some extent also Arabic / African name. Its use among Russians comes from the fact that these Russians have (or had) Jewish or Muslim ancestors (i.e. Roman Abramovich, Yury Abramovich, Abram Gannibal, etc.). As I've said - Abram is not a Russian name. It's a Jewish name which was used in Russia, as well as in Poland, Romania, and many Slavic countries by both Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews. Russian language doesnt relate, as this name has its tradition mainly in Jewish, Armenian, Chechen, Arabic, or African (Ethiopian) culture. Why is Russia so indicated then? In my opinion this section should be called "In Slavic countries" and there should also be some sections like "In Ancient Israel", "Among Jews", "Among Africans and African Americans", "Among Armenians, Indians, and Middle Easterners" etc... Only then the article will be reiable. Thanks 159.205.253.233 (talk) 21:33, 12 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

My name is Wayne Edward Clarke. On May 6 2015 you wrote on my talk page to say you had reversed edits I made on Wikipedia. Neither I nor the other user of this IP address (121.54.22.122) have edited Wikipedia in any way, nor do I know how it was done, but ours is a wireless ISP and I am unfamiliar with the technical issues involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.22.122 (talk) 12:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Sorry for posting the warnings! I'm new to Huggle, and this was my second or third edit. I was just getting used to the shortcuts and ended up posting these warnings on the wrong page. Sorry again! Jiten Dhandha • talk • contributions • 20:11, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
