Can anything be done about this RfC?
Hello Saff V. Since I had to close an edit warring complaint about People's Mujahedin of Iran recently, I've been looking at RfCs on the talk page to see how far they got. Check out this RfC about 'violent' that you opened on 14 October. The comments so far suggest a slight inclination to remove 'violent', but there is no activity on this RfC since 16 October. If you don't think anyone else will comment, do you want to propose that this get closed by an uninvolved person, for instance at WP:AN/RFC? But if some movement is still possible, can you propose a more targeted rewording that would enlist support from the other side? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston:, I really appreciate you for helping me to solve the issue and apologize for the delay in response. Would you explaine about " a more targeted rewording that would enlist support from the other side " and how should I conduct it? Regards.Saff V. (talk) 07:25, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Iran–Iraq War into Military operations of the Iran–Iraq War. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. If you had followed this step, the new article would likely not have been nominated for deletion either. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. I truthfully forgot it but try to follow it more carefully.Saff V. (talk) 06:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
