Hi David, I was looking at your RM at Talk:Nasserist Party (Egypt) and couldn't quite understand what you wanted. Are the Arab Democratic Nasserist Party and the Nasserist Party different parties? If not, it's fine to have both Nasserist Party and Nasserist Party (Egypt) as redirects to Arab Democratic Nasserist Party. Thanks, BDD (talk) 16:56, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I may have read too quickly. It sounds like you're saying there is a new Nasserist Party that's different from the ADNP, so it shouldn't redirect there. Is that right? --BDD (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The new Nasserist Party page that I started is no longer available, so I don't really know what to do. The new party wasn't competing for seats [each party can join whatever electoral alliance they want for the upcoming election], so I think someone removed the page I created and reverted the redirect from the disambiguation page to to the old page for the ADNP. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:31, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see what happened. Your article shouldn't've been made into a redirect without discussion. For now, I think your article should be separate; eventually, we may want to merge the ADNP into it, depending on what happens in the future, and we will want to move it to Nasserist Party. I think that's what you originally wanted. --BDD (talk) 19:52, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is correct. Thank you. I will go ahead and recreate the Nasserist Party page under Nasserist Party (Egypt) later on. I suppose there should be a way to differentiate the two parties with similar names. Thanks again. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:46, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Islamist Jihadi Party, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The page has been nominated for deletion, in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Egaqu (talk) 19:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Islamist Jihadi Party has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 10:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree it's not a hoax, but a single reference to someone as the founder of a party is not enough to show importance or significance. By all means re-create if you can find more, remembering that while a "credible assertion of significance or importance" is enough to avoid speedy deletion, if an article is to be kept it will need to pass the WP:GNG.

A tag has been placed on Abu Iyadh al-Tunisi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hello David. Well done for spotting that the next Lebanese general election has had its date changed, but when you move articles like that, can you make sure to update the templates on it too?

Hi, it seems that Lothar von Richthofen is engaging again in an edit war at the Ghuraba Al-Sham article, removing any editions pointing to the dubiousness of his claim of former alliances of that group with the Syrian intelligence while simultaneously claim that the group is no longer allied with Al-Nusra Front.

What do you think about this and what can we do? Regards,--HCPUNXKID (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of Egyptian Patriotic Movement.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:22, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey David O. Johnson

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:25, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

hi David, I fail to understand why you have systematically been removing archival information from references in at least these two edits that you made:

• Geneva II
• NCSROF

How can removal of archival information possibly improve the quality of an article? This is not just a luxury of "extra info". The verifiability of an online encylopedia depends mainly on external web pages. The history of the world wide web shows that sources can be volatile. Web pages that are interesting and useful and appear stable can and do disappear. Just because a source disappears does not imply that we should remove the corresponding information from the Wikipedia. Given that archival websites exist, archiving these makes our articles more verifiable in the long term. This still requires the reader to trust the archiving organisation, but that's easier than searching through a long edit history and then trusting a random Wikipedian's memory ("I remember I read the info justifying that sentence ten years ago at the time I edited, but I'm afraid I didn't store a snapshot"). Please see Web archiving for a general discussion and WebCite or List of Web archiving initiatives for some examples. Even mainstream newspaper websites are not necessarily stable in the long term. A newspaper might decide to require subscriptions for articles older than X years. Or the newspaper might close down in an economic crisis with nobody from the ex-newspaper making the effort (legal + hardware + software) to create a long-term web archive.

Unless you have a good reason from removing the archival information, I would suggest that you restore the deleted material.

(On a less fundamental point, I also fail to understand why you have removed reference labels from references that in a given version of an article are only cited once. If a reference is useful once, chances are that someone editing later may wish to cite the same reference for another relevant piece of information. The edit label can usually be guessed by clicking on the existing link to the reference - if the label already exists. Removing an existing label creates extra work for the later edit. The extra number of bytes is negligible in terms of download time compared to the main text. Conciseness is needed in the rendered text, not the source text. In any case, the archival information is a much more fundamental issue.)

Boud (talk) 01:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, regarding the archival information; I personally thought that it wasn't needed, though I currently understand the reasoning for keeping them intact. Regarding the reference names, you make a valid point. I will keep this in mind as I continue to edit articles. Thank you, David O. Johnson (talk) 01:30, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks :). Boud (talk) 18:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[1] --Panam2014 (talk) 11:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I said before, the claim about Ghuraba al-Sham being allied with Syrian intel is just that, allegations (even the sources given talk about that, accusations, suggestions, allegations and claims, not facts). Some people also claim that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is allied or even funded by the Syrian goverment, but we dont put the Syrian gov. as an ISIS ally in its infobox (logically). So, I cannot accept adding Syrian intelligence to the infobox as an ally, nor with the (formerly) clarification, nor with the (allegedly) clarification. Why? Because following that logic we should add, for example, the FSA (formerly) to the ISIS allies section of its infobox, as they were allies until a few months ago, and they even are still allies against Kurdish forces in Hasakah province. A clear double standard example. I agree that allegations could have space in the articles content, but not in the infobox, as it is misleading.

Can you please do the same for the revolution page? Yes, i have already made similar requests in the past, but i don't know how to explain it this time. And wasn't this the original title? Please explain to me if it is possible for Panam2014 to simply reach a similar conclusion that this new title is better without even bothering to discuss it. Not trying to be childish here, but i don't know why am i the one supposed to make a request while Panam2014 should have done this in the first place. Thoughts? Fitzcarmalan (talk) 22:00, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and make the request; I can't say what Panam2014's motivations are, so I do not know why he didn't discuss these moves beforehand. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:05, 4 February 2014 (UTC) The request is now added. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:07, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, David O. Johnson. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Euphrates Islamic Liberation Front, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Hi. What I meant by saying we didn't need to list Nahrwan Al-Sham in the main list is that it includes several of the groups that are listed above it. Other operational alliances such as the Euphrates Volcano (as opposed to more close-knit alliances like Islamic Front which can be considered a group in itself) are not listed in that section. 130.64.98.69 (talk) 02:45, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear David O.Johnson, I appreciated your edits in above article, but dont exaggerate. Every school pupil when paying attention in history lessons knows that Khorasan is the name of that ancient empire. There is no reference needed. Monart (talk) 03:03, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out, good catch... I see it now buried at the end of the NPR article with a slightly different name. Nulla Taciti (talk) 00:39, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I highly doubt the Army of Mujahedeen, the Authenticity and Development Front, and Ansar al-Sham consider themselves affiliated with the FSA. The two articles cited for listing them as such (here and here) may be generalizing the FSA as any factions that aren't jihadist. It would be especially odd if Ansar al-Sham suddenly joined the FSA, considering it's already part of the Islamic Front. Anyway, I think more sources would be needed before listing these three factions as part of the FSA umbrella. 130.64.98.86 (talk) 22:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have reverted your edit on Khorasan (Islamist group). Just wanted to explain my reason for doing so, which is this: your personal beliefs are not sufficient reason to remove sourced information. 67.188.230.128 (talk) 07:24, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have done it again. I repeat, just because you personally disagree with a source does not mean you should remove it. Please discuss on talk page before making further disruptive changes to the article. 67.188.230.128 (talk) 15:47, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Khorasan (Islamist group) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hi David. Just seen that you changed the establishment date of Kulanu. If you read the source from 3 December, it states that "Kahlon’s official statement on Wednesday came after he held a founding meeting for the party last Thursday" (i.e. Thursday 27 November).

Hi, I saw you had reverted some of my edits on jihadist and thought to touch base with you on this to explain and hear your thoughts. I basically see it as a value laden label. To this end I am currently developing a Draft:List of organizations self-described as mujahideen or by jihad. I have similarly done work on Category:Designated terrorist organizations associated with Islam so as not merely to label various Islamist incidents as Islamic terrorism. I have similarly developed Category:Islamist insurgent groups to cover organizations that are not designated as terrorist. I think that it is fine to quote other organisations as declaring a group to be jihadist (a western relative neologism) or terrorist but I have qualms about doing this in Wikipedia's voice at least extensively. Groups like al-Jazeera have also taken to using the phases "self-declared jihadist" and "self-proclaimed jihadist". The groups are not contested to be Islamist be may be contested to be jihadist. There certainly is little connection to jihad in many of the cases. Its most frequently a case of quran based believer against quran based believer. GregKaye ✍♪ 14:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not an Islamist group, but a jihadist group.David O. Johnson (talk) 00:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the reference to terrorism and added references to Islamism. I removed the reference to terrorism on the valid basis of WP:TERRORISM but do not insist on its removal. I added reference to Islamism on the view that the group are applying pressure to promote an interpretation of Islam politically. As I see it there has been a POV push with regard to the use of jihadist based terminologies in Wikipedia which has included the frequent placement of the "Jihadist organization" category at the top of category lists. I know that I have done so on other occasion but my edit made no removal of jihadist reference. GregKaye 10:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to not only remove factual information from the article Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, but also continue down your "no flag/decorations crusade" on Al-Nusra Front and Khorasan (Islamist group), I'll be following this up with an ANI on your bizarre behavior. You cannot unilaterally decide to remove these icons from the info-box, by interpreting WP policy (which is contentious at best) in your own manner. You're the only user I have ever come across to do this, namely remove icons of any sort from an info-box. StanMan87 (talk) 04:33, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems totally legit, what is the reason for removing? Nothing is discussed about this on talk, at least none that I could find.

Please keep in mind that visual presentation on wikipedia is also relevant, and the article looks really good the way it used to be. What are you thoughts?

Your recent editing history at Charlie Hebdo shooting shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
