My name is John Henderson. I live in Madison Mississipi USA. I have learned from a relative that we can trace our ancestors back to Henderson / Fordell Castle. Is it possible to tour the grounds or the interior of the castle?162.234.135.110 (talk) 15:58, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Biruni edit
Regarding your decision not to move the article:
| “ | This looks like the name predominately used by tertiary sources in English. He wasn't really 'Persian', and mostly wrote in Arabic (cf. Frédéric Chopin and Joseph Conrad), so I'm not seeing any kind of case for changing the article's name. | ” |
- He self-identified as Persian in his writing (in his The Remaining Signs of Past Centuries). Even granted that he was not a "Persian", in his native Chorasmian (a close relative of Persian) his name is still "Biruni" NOT "al-Biruni". The term itself is Persian. Even if you disagree with a move, his native name must be included in the lede, currently there is none.
- The next point has no bearing on his name. Otherwise we must move Isaac Newton to Isaacus Newtonus and Carl Friedrich Gauss to Carolus Fridericus Gauss, since they mostly published in Latin.
Encyclopaedia Iranica (Yarshater 1982— ) uses Biruni, and it is the most exhaustive source in English dealing with Iranian languages, history, and cultures, past and present. Grinevitski (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

@Innotata: You seem like an experienced editor who would provide some action on the currently stalemate AfD discussion linked in the title. Please could you have a look over there when you're free and provide an opinion on if or not the article should be deleted. Thanks :)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
