Project Haiti
Hi Meno25, same thing happened again on the Arab Haitian assessment. Whatever you are using to do so, keeps reverting the project from Haiti back to the Caribbean. If you can double check what went wrong, that would be fantastic. Cheers. Savvyjack23 (talk) 22:07, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Savvyjack23: Sorry about that. The bug I reported is still unresolved. I will try to avoid any article that may be related to Haiti. Merry Christmas. --Meno25 (talk) 06:49, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Check on a few pages.
Aak1982 has been translating pages from arwiki to enwiki. I'm having issues with nobility and the source material. They said Ahmad Hasan Al-Zu’bi was translated from the user's home page on arwiki. Musa Hijazeen and Hisham Yanes don't look notable. Could you take a look? Bgwhite (talk) 07:57, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite: The last two seem to be notable to me. I am not sure about the first. To be sure, I recommend to contact a Jordanian user such as @Tarawneh: who is a former checkuser, bureaucrat and admin on arwiki. --Meno25 (talk) 08:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Bgwhite:, Ahmad Hasan Al-Zu’bi should be deleted, the remaining two are notable. I will add sources to the two articles. --Tarawneh (talk) 20:52, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Tarawneh: Thank you both. Could one of you leave a message on their talk page. Mention such things as not leaving one's signature in articles, not reverting people trying to fix their referencing, not copying, etc. Coming from Arabic/Jordanian editors would be better.

Inactive bot on ru.wikipedia
Dear botowner!
From behalf of bureaucrats of Russian Wikipedia I want to notify you, that we are discussing removal of bot flag from your bot in local ru.wikipedia: link. We nominated for removal all bots that were inactive for the latest year: if you have any future plans for bot running or want to keep this flag for some other reasons, please, tell us: discussion. You can also contact me directly via my user talk - ru:User talk:Rubin16.
If you have no objections or we won't receive any response for a week, we will remove bot flag. Thanks a lot for your previous contributions! rubin16 (talk) 10:28, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

WPCleaner
Hi Meno! WPCleaner is very good but the error 90/91 fixes are still not perfect so please review edits when editing with WPCleaner and report any bugs. For instance. Also in some cases the problem is not exactly bot fixable. For example this was not even an external edit. Thanks! -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Magioladitis: Thank you for notifying me. I will disable fixing errors 90/91. --Meno25 (talk) 10:54, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Meno25. I saw your rating of the Hugh E. Conway article I uploaded yesterday. Can you tell me what I need to add (or change) to get it up to a level? I thought it was a pretty comprehensive article, covering everything notable about the guy with good sources. I even tracked down hard-copy military documents to ensure all the facts were covered with solid sources. Would appreciate it if you’d take another look at the article and give me some feedback. Thanks!--Orygun (talk) 02:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
