Thank you for telling me what "bint" means on the talkpage of the article on Fatimah. The proposal to rename this page has been mentioned on Wikipedia: WikiProject Biography, so it seems there is a possibility debate will be generated. Vorbee (talk) 18:17, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emir of Wikipedia, I recently noticed that Johndoe10001 recently reverted one of your edits, the same user has been reverting my edits over external links as well over the past couple weeks. There is currently a discussion going on concerning this topic and if you are so inclined you may contribute to the conversation. However if you do not feel inclined please do not feel pressured to take part in the conversation, or you may even defend Johndoe10001's edits if you wish. Happy editing Inter&anthro (talk) 21:52, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Power Rangers (film) you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Power Rangers (film) for reasons why the nomination failed.

@SarekOfVulcan: That is what I did, but the page should now be in the database so it will hopefully make the edits when the links actually begin to rot. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Sorry for the confusion, I hadn't been paying close enough attention to that use of the bot. Thanks! --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:51, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emir of Wikipedia,

I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.

Thanks! Pseud 14 (talk) 05:54, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, which button do you press to do a revert, but still edit? Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sir Joseph: The WP:undo button. It is more useful that a rollback (both Twinkle and userright) as it notifies the user that the issue has been resolved without needing to ping them. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:17, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll have to remember to start using that one. BTW, I did get a ping that my edit was reverted. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You recently used a few scripts on Exo discography. Generally these were pretty helpful changes, however, you used a script that changed en dashes to em dashes.

Hello Emir,

You recently reverted some of my edits and let me know why in a helpful way. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and I appreciate you helping me learn proper policies. I know Wikipedia says to "be bold," but I obviously didn't understand the limits and want to do everything by the book. I will take it to the talk page because I'm certain scrutiny will reveal the truth :)

Take care, Plantlady223 (talk) 17:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Plantlady223: Hi. You have said "False allegations", but I have not edited a page with a name like that. Am I right in thinking you are on about the section on MeToo? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:35, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: Yes, I meant that section on that page. I'm still learning. :) Plantlady223 (talk) 17:48, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. If you want help learning then feel free to contact me. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay if I contact you after I make the section on the Talk page? Just in case you had suggestions. Plantlady223 (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I had one more question. When I'm helping make a biography of a living person, what is the best way to get a picture that's allowed? Is it okay if I take my own picture of them? (I was just curious as an example; I don't think I'll see anyone in person) What about pictures taken by other people? Plantlady223 (talk) 18:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The best way would be if you took a picture and uploaded it to Commons, however you would obviously have to put it under a suitable license. With regards to other people's pictures you would have to find a suitably incensed one or persuade a photograph to release it under a suitable license and then upload that to Commons. However with regards to deceased people you can use a copyrighted image under fair use like I recently used File:Hal Finney (computer scientist).jpg at Hal Finney (computer scientist), but this requires certain criteria being fulfilled. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for answering my questions. I felt so lost and you're making it seem more straightforward. I started documenting the point on the Talk page. I'm going through the stats one by one because every source I've looked at so far is either fake or doesn't match what is said in book. I know that Wikipedia wants to make sure everything is sourced properly to ensure accuracy. Does this look good to you, should I keep going? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Me_Too_(hashtag) Plantlady223 (talk) 22:10, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thats look like some good work you have done. I will discuss there about this issue to help keep it open for others to contribute. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because the template was originally placed in December 2017 and the dates were subsequently changed by an account who added unsourced POV cruft (that has since been removed) to the article. Seems like the date of original templates' placements should generally be retained within WP (for instance, templates can place an article within internal housekeeping categories) unless there is a clear reason within WP policies/guidelines to change it. Shearonink (talk) 20:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shearonink: But how are we meant to know then when it has been checked? Template:EngvarB says This is a dated template. After an article has been initially tagged, and bearing in mind article evolution, periodic script or bot runs clean up spellings, correcting any new introductions since its last visit, and updating the visit date on the template. and Template:Use dmy dates says After being tagged, and bearing in mind article evolution, periodic script or bot runs clean up formats, correcting any new introductions since its last visit, and updating the visit date on the template. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So then the template is supposed to be the date the bot/s run their clean-ups etc., not necessarily the date that the template was added to the article....Ok, yeah. But the user who altered the dates in this case wasn't a bot. It's fine. Shearonink (talk) 23:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emir,

I just received your message in regards to the X Prize Foundation article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Prize_Foundation).

Yes, I do work for the Foundation. We had some requests to clarify some items on our article since they were not accurate. The main summary of changes were as follows:

- The Tricorder XPRIZE was awarded, so I moved that to past contests and added the end year. - We launched two new competitions last year, the Women's Safety and Water Abundance XPRIZEs. I added brief overviews for them. - Removed something listed as a Future XPRIZE that is no longer being pursued. - The Board of Trustees don't run the organization, the Board of Directors (a subset of the Trustees) do. The Trustees are still very active in what we do though, so I separated them out. This change to board structure happened ~2 years ago.

I hope I was able to update the page in an objective manner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zach xprize (talk • contribs)

Hi! I've seen that you've reported a number of suspected sockpuppet accounts of Thepoliticsexpert. I've recently taken a couple of articles originally created by this user to AfD, and on one there are two keep !votes and a backhanded delete !vote from single-purpose accounts. One of these also removed my PROD from another, now-deleted at AfD, article created by Thepoliticsexpert. Given the sockpuppet activity associated with this user, I was wondering whether this behaviour is sufficient evidence to take these accounts to sockpuppet investigation?

@Ohsin: Please see WP:LINKVIO. It doesn't matter if the video is a statement by the person or not it matters whether it is copyright infringement or not.

I am not sure who owns the video, apparently it was distributed by an unnamed US attorney.

May be distributor wants to be anonymous? Ohsin (talk) 16:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

nearly every movie mentions some kind of 'user-generated scores' (like imdb, rotten tomatoes etc.) in their reception section, just like Terminator 2: Judgment Day or Titanic.

I'm trying to figure out this edit. Is the lead transcluded somewhere, or is something else going on? -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 04:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@BullRangifer: Portal:Donald Trump/Intro included an outdated (and possibly copyright violating) version of the lead. To fix these issues I attempted to transclude the lead, but the technical version of the lead includes things not needed for the portal so I made a special section for the actual lead text. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:41, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since you filed the latest SPI concerning Ehsan iq, would you care to check the edits of WeWuzPhoenicians?

@Kansas Bear: I am sorry but I won't be much help there based on behavioral analysis. The only reason I reported it at Ehsan_iq was because an IP randomly brought up that account and admitted to being blocked. It looks like the IP you have mentioned has already been blocked as it matched the range of previous IPs, as the edits are similar I could say that the accounts might be linked but I don't really know the socks behaviours.

Hi, Emir! Just a comment regarding this edit: when you are suggesting that a user may be a problem or suggesting that an eye be kept on them - is it really a good idea to ping that user in your message? --MelanieN (talk) 22:51, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If they are not a problem with regards to the their username then can defend themselves there. With regards to their editing that is a separate issue that I have not really looked into, but obviously an admin like you can help with that. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:54, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emir. As you are already aware there has been a proposal suggested since March 2018 for two different articles to be merged into the article about Charles and Diana's wedding. As you and I have already opposed it and there has been no "support" votes in over a month, is it possible for me or you to close the discussion, or should I ask an administrator to do it?

I know, and I don't know why he resists on merging those pages. Is there anyway we can close it again or should we just wait for a consensus? Keivan.f^Talk 22:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I left a new message on the article's talk page. It's absolutely ridiculous to have those articles merged when we have separate pages for the birdal gowns of lesser known princesses. If these pages get merged, then basically all of those other pages need to get merged as well. Keivan.f^Talk 23:05, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Emir,

I'd like to use the lead transclusion method you applied on Portal:Donald Trump/Intro, but I can't get it to work with any other topic.

This works: {{#section:Donald Trump|Lead text}}

This doesn't work: {{#section:Physical geography|Lead text}}

What is {{#section:}}, and please provide links to documentation on this.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   23:18, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: please {{ping}} me in your reply.

@The Transhumanist: Hello. You are probably aware of this already but please see Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC: Ending the system of portals before putting in any time, effort, or hard work in the portals that may soon be undone.

The lead transclusion method I used at the Donald Trump portal is to transclude a manually marked section. {{#section:}} transcludes a section of a page, the technical lead includes the the infobox and the hatnote so I marked the actual lead text with <section begin=Lead text /> and <section end=Lead text />, you can obviously label this something else instead of "Lead text". This is documented at Help:Labeled_section_transclusion#Section_marking, there could perhaps be a more elegant solution but this works. Hope this helps, sorry if it is a bit confusing but I can't think how else to word it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:43, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware of the of the MfD that was posted as an RfC. The primary way that deletions are averted is to fix the problem with the nominated page(s) while the deletion discussion is taking place. Fixing 1500 pages is a challenge, but a worthwhile one, I believe. Also, unless the opinions of the newcomers to the discussion shift radically toward deletionist, the portals are safe. Currently, there is no new consensus. leaving the portals to people wishing to improve them. Once the problems are fixed, the rationales to delete them will be minuscule in the face of the support to keep them.

Looking over the problems of portals reported in the discussion, they boil down to 1) out of date / lack of maintenance (lack of volunteer labor) 2) useless (static / unchanging) and 3) low traffic (few repeat visits).

The 3rd is to be expected, since portals get their traffic internally, rather than from external search engine results. Traffic would naturally be higher if users found portals worthwhile enough to return to them. Dynamic content, in the form of randomly generated on-topic selections, would be a valuable service, turning the portals into a form of periodical or newsletter.

The initial design concept for portals was that they would each be a main page for a subject. The reality has been that they have become a snap shot (one day's version) of a main page for their respective subjects. Imagine if Wikipedia's main page never changed its content. That portals never became what they were envisioned to be is the crux of the matter here.

I believe the solution is automation, which is why I am interested in the method you used. Refreshing the intro entry so it doesn't go stale, using transclusion, is one form of automation that can help. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.

By the way, you were right about there being more elegant solutions. For example:

{{#invoke:String|match|pattern='''.+|s = {{#lsth:Water}}}}

That transcludes the lead from water, but only everything after the first bold code, in order to skip hatnotes and gripe tags. The regex in that example could be modified to remove templates as well, and infoboxes, etc. The benefit of this approach is that it requires absolutely no coding to be added to the source pages.

I'm looking for volunteers interested in helping to make portals configurable and automated, to turn them into specialized main pages that do not rely on human labor to keep them maintained. In addition to programmers, we need designers, to help figure out what portals need to be able to do, to locate where the resources (content) are for accomplishing that, and discern how to differentiate that content so that it can be selected automagically.

Are you interested? If I created a page or thread to share ideas on improving portals, would you drop in from time to time to comment?    — The Transhumanist   01:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: please {{ping}} me in your reply.

@The Transhumanist: I think you should mention at the RfC that you have solutions to the problems. With regards to helping with other portals I don't really have that much experience but I would be willing to learn and contribute if you made a page or thread about their improvement. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the RfC has nearly run its course. To make it in before someone archives it, I've posted a response there; and I used some of the wording you inspired above. (Thank you). By the way, you have yourself a deal. I'll let you know when a project page is ready.    — The Transhumanist   23:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking around the portals, and they are rather impressive. I don't see what the naysayers are complaining about. It is true that many of the pages are static and so the repeat visitors (editors) probably got bored with them. But there seems to be an endless supply of new readers, as page traffic remains pretty steady.

As I peruse them, I keep finding gems. Like the fully automated Portal:Wikimedia featured content.

Okay, I'm working on the page you suggested above about improving portals. I think I'm not even half done with it yet. Would you mind taking a look at what's there so far, and let me know what you think of it, whether it is easily understandable, how it can be improved, and so on? I intend to write opening statements for each of the empty sections on the talk page, but I don't think I've even identified all the features of portals yet. There will be a discussion section for improving the design of each common component.

Any and all feedback, ideas, and suggestions are welcome. Feel free to post them below...    — The Transhumanist   12:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Transhumanist: WP:WPPORT looks like a good start. The main thing I would suggest now is to highlight this to other editors, we don't want this to end up inactive like people claimed about portals. Also if you are not aware there template:nw which writes a message asking to be pinged in replies instead of manually typing, something else that we can somewhat automate 😊. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:47, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's no danger of it becoming inactive while we're around. It's not ready for prime time yet. The revamp needs to be completed before spreading the word. But, you need not worry, I will be sending out invites. As you have probably noticed, the volunteer section indicates that updates will be sent to those who sign up. That should help establish some ongoing lines of communication, and get additional people involved. The wikiproject page overhaul should be done in a few days, hopefully less. By the way, thank you for volunteering, and thanks for the template idea, I've made a new one ({{pme}}).    — The Transhumanist   23:06, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Emir - I'm of the mind that it would be a wise investment for me to get a different perspective from an uninvolved editor (or two) about what/how much would be reasonable to add. I've queried an editor whose views doesn't always align with mine, but whose judgement I trust, especially considering the added material is likely to be challenged.

Seriously, what is this?[2] All the users who have advocated for removal of content sourced to the NYT source have characterized the NYT article in question as unreliable (two users referred to it as a hit piece, and the third claimed that the article contained unsupported insinuation). I demonstrated this in the thread in question, yet you claim "Nobody is saying it is not RS from what I can see." Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:10, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see the users you are on about have not said that it is unreliable. If you are on about Lionelt they have literally wrote "This is about WP:DUE amongst other things. Not WP:RS". I did not see anyone say it was unreliable if someone has said that they feel free to take off the hat and present that there, but otherwise you should get a Wikipedia:Third opinion if the talkpage of the article is not helpful. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When someone says that a source is a hit piece and that it contains unsupported insinuation and that it should be removed for those reasons, are they not saying that the source is unreliable? The claim that the NYT is not a RS is of course so absurd that nobody would cop to it, but the reasoning for excluding the source is solely based on arguments that the content in the source is unreliable (e.g. it's a "hit piece" and contains "unsupported insinuation"). Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:26, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Snooganssnoogans: Has the issue been resolved now? Have they decided to include the content from NYT? Feel free to remind them about Wikipedia:RSOPINION if they have forgotten that. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:29, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, the content has not been included in the article, and I'm pretty sure that it never will unless I take it to a RfC or get broader Wiki input. My experience with Lionelt is that the user will edit-war to keep the content out (in particular, if another editor partakes), staunchly oppose any inclusion no matter how reliably sourced (i.e. more RS won't matter) and threaten sanctions if someone takes action without his explicit approval. The dispute still revolves around the accuracy of the NY Times (i.e. it's a dispute over whether the NY Times articles is reliable), regardless of what the users on that talk page say when they face scrutiny by the broader Wikipedia community. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 17:47, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Snooganssnoogans: You don't have to go as extreme as an RfC for broader input, other options like WP:3O and WP:DRN are available. If that user is problematic then you should report them to an admin, they should definitely not be threatening sanctions at anyone which sounds like a WP:OWNER. If the dispute is about if the NY Times article is an RS then tell them nobody on the noticeboard said it was unreliable, if they are bringing forward the argument that it is undue then you will have to prove it is due.

Hello Emir of Wikipedia, I saw that you added this Copyright notice to the Wei Dai article. This expanded upon the notice added by User:Diannaa. I wonder if all this can be simplified as I am the author of the referenced article. The original article was actually written for Wikipedia, but was later deleted per WP:N. I then decided to publish on the Bitcoin Wiki. Eventually it made its way back to Wikipedia (thanks to User:Xinbenlv) and recently passed another WP:N challenge. Seems it is finally here to stay.

Does it still make sense to reference the external (bitcoin.it) "source"?

If so, we can probably remove Taras as an author of the copy/pasted text because his stub article was 100% removed when I published the actual content which was later used here on Wikipedia (see diff).

Thoughts?

@Diannaa:, @Xinbenlv: Anything to add here?

Hello Emir of Wikipedia!

Thank you for reaching out to me, it was very helpful and I am grateful. I am still very new here on Wikipedia and am constantly learning. What has me so interested in contributing is my love for grammatical editing.

The explanation for my contribution on Ivanka Trump's page was not its being a controversial topic, as it's labelled. As you saw, I edited her described Alma mater. As she completed her degree from the University of Pennsylvania and not Georgetown University, it additionally included from where she transferred. I edited this for consistency with the rest of Wikipedia's pages. People do not regularly include in their Alma mater their first school if it isn't where they completed their degree or switched elsewhere. If we are to begin including the schools from where people transfer, we would also have to add Fordham University in Ivanka Trump's father's page and Villanova University in Bradley Cooper's. There are so many different examples. Now, those are changes I would not be against contributing, but in removing the one from Ivanka Trump's I only made a step toward consistency.

Again, I am grateful for your help. I did not previously see the location to add explanations to contributions. This response to you can in a way explain my decision making. Although you saw my choice for editing Ivanka Trump's page for being a controversial topic, it was instead for grammatical consistency with other pages and the understandings of other users and readers. Please, reach out to me if you want to understand my point more. I would be glad to hear more and listen more to greater advice in my future editing.

As I said in the edit summary because of WP:BLPPRIMARY.

Welcome AmericanAir88[edit]

Give a hearty welcome to AmericanAir88, who has adopted working on portals as one of his main purposes on Wikipedia. So far, he has created the following portals:

Way to go!

Where's Evad?[edit]

Evad disappeared from Wikipedia on October 18.

He has been, and will continue to be, sorely missed.

Hopefully, he is okay, on a Caribbean cruise or something.

The conversion continues[edit]

Portals of the old design, are slowly but surely being converted to the new single-page design.

One factor that has slowed things down is that for many sections, the section header call and section contents call are integrated into a template and buried in a lua module, locking them in on each portal. They have been that way for years.

This means that these sections can't be directly edited like the other sections on the same portal. So, search/replaces affect all the sections except those. So, upgrading headers on these portals, for example, misses the integrated sections and inadvertently results in 2 different header colors.

Before we can continue with the upgrade of these portals, the headers and section contents calls need to be restored to each portal, so that those can be edited in concert with the other sections on the portal, and worked on independently of each other.

This is underway, with a solution implemented on about 1/4 of the affected portals so far. Around 300 of them. The remaining 900 should be done within a couple weeks or so.

Going wide...[edit]

We now have banner-shaped pictures included in the introduction sections of 180 portals. The rarity of such pictures has made it difficult to find suitably narrow images for display across the tops of portals.

We have a solution for this, courtesy of FR30799386...

Most pictures are not banner-shaped. But, you can still use them as banners. Here's how:

{{Portal image banner|File:Blueberries .jpg |maxheight=120px |overflow=Hidden }}

Using both maxheight=120px and overflow=Hidden produces this:

Project's status[edit]

There are now 4,140 portals, with more being created almost daily. Prior to this project's reboot, portals were created at about the rate of 80 per year. Since April of this year, we've created about 2,600 new portals, or 32.5 years' worth at the old rate.

Of those new portals, about 3/4 of them need links leading to them. Almost all of them are linked to from the category system, but they still need links in article see also sections, at the bottom of navigation templates, and on the main portals list at Portal:Contents/Portals.

Of the 1500 portals created before the reboot, about 300 have been completely converted to the new design so far. About 1100 more have been partially converted, with intros, image slideshows, and associated wikimedia sections getting the most attention.

Discussion has resumed on the portal guidelines.

Until next issue...[edit]

See ya round the portal system!    — The Transhumanist   11:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are now 4,180 portals.

Will we break 5,000 by the end of the year?

I know we can. But, that is up to you!

( New portals are created with {{subst:Basic portal start page}} or {{subst:bpsp}} )

Happy Holidays[edit]

Spread the WikiLove; use {{subst:Season's Greetings}} to send this message

Jingling along[edit]

The following portals have been created since the last issue:

Keep 'em coming!

By the way, the above list was generated using this Petscan query. It can be easily modified by changing the date. The data page (under the Output tab) also has options for receiving the data in CSV or tabbed format, which some operating systems automatically load into a spreadsheet program for ease of use, such as copying and pasting the desired column (like page names).

In closing[edit]

We'll keep it short this issue.

Expect a flood next time. Or the one after that.

Hello, I'm FR30799386. I noticed that a page you started Draft:Team_10_(YouTube_group) has already got a page on Wikipedia.

Hello,

I was only reverting unproven information about an "upcoming film". I even checked Vilandri Ramadhani Ajeng New information and I found no website, source, or any proof that this upcoming film even exists. This editor was adding false information. Cardei012597 (talk) 22:56, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cardei012597, a source doesn't have to be a website. If a statement is added without a source then use template:citation needed instead of misleading someone into thinking that Wikipedia requires online sources. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Sony's marvel universe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Clearly an unnecessary redirect due to grammatical mistakes.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi, Emir - will you help us at WP:WikiProject Dogs? We need editors who are familiar with GNG, N and V.

I've also seen references to the Animal Research Foundation which began as a privately owned registry for a handful of unrecognized dog breeds, and ended up creating problems that caused its demise. We have had issues because it is natural for people to love their dog which makes them more susceptible than normal to scams & money-making schemes, and we need editors who can recognize when that is happening vs reliable sources with verifiable information.

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

1) Please refrain from reverting every other edit of mine.I respect you as a senior editor, but You seem to take things personally- which is simply WP:BULLYING.

2) You have posted Welcome to Wikipedia templates on my Talkpage after around 1 month that I have joined Wikipedia.

Let's have a third party consensus (if you feel the need to) With your permission, roping in @GorgeCustersSabre:

Regards, Abbasquadir (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abbasquadir, I don't see anything on the talk page. What other issues need to be addressed here? I don't revert every other edit of yours. Sorry if I offended your for welcoming you a few days too late, but you can't edit war. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:43, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No no, I NEVER meant to "edit-war", this is a community. Welcoming late is not the issue, but what's the purpose of doing so when you know I am not a newbie/rookie editor?

More importantly, why are you specifically targetting Osman Ali khan page with the expectation to have citations for ALMOST-EVERY OTHER LINE.

If you really want me to stop editing, please tell me as I am already discouraged to even learn more of wikipedia. I'll leave myself if that makes you happy.

Abbasquadir (talk) 16:49, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abbasquadir, The purpose was to inform. You might have been here a month, but that doesn't mean you are or are not a newbie/rookie editor. I am not targeting a page in particular. Please read Wikipedia:Citing sources. I can help you learn more about Wikipedia if you want, don't want to discourage you. -- Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:53, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the year of birth that I put in the lede had the same source as the Infobox, but I was not aware of that. However, the Infobox was wrong. The source clearly states that her birth year was 1958, but not the month or date. Whatever editors added the source to the Infobox used the same source that I had, without me being aware of it, but their edit confused the issue. The cited NYT story said she was born in 1958, not "57/58." When I saw it I realized that an editor had removed the D.O.B. from the infobox and replaced it with the wrong info. So I got rid of the wrong info. I did an extremely diligent search for a source which had her birthday, found many, possibly as many as 10, that had June 14, 1958, but I did not believe that any passed the RSS standard. Some were probably copied from the old Wikipedia entry. I did find other reliable secondary sources mentioning her age, that made it clear that she was born in 1958, bracketed within month or two of June 14th, but did not give the birth date. I also found her listed with a different given name, "Oshry." that's a family name, used as a nickname, I'm guessing, rather than her legal name. I think the appropriate thing to do would be to move the citation to the lede, restore the birth year there, and leave the birth date blank. Then it will be accurate and true to the source, unless you or someone else can find a RSS for June 14th. I'm not going to revert your deletion but will leave straightening it out up to you. I've already spent far more time than I should have on this, trying to get accuracy, and won't spend any more as I'm extremely busy. A few years ago I found another NYC voter's DOB on their voting record, but I forget how I found it, and couldn't figure out how I'd managed to find that person's registration record before. Activist (talk) 12:08, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I even went to her Facebook page in the event friends had sent her birthday greetings in this or a prior year, but she gets a huge amount of messages and pursuing "June 14th" turned out to be quite a task and I was unsuccessful. Activist (talk) 12:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Activist, I have changed the birthdate to the year. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 12:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you may have missed where I removed a lot fo the BatPat movie stuff as DCEU or not, but I did so because there was a lot fo back and forth on it in the article when a consensus needed to be hashed out in talk.

KTflyer90, sorry I've not really had a chance to look at this until now. From what I can I don't think there should be an article for Ezra McCandless, but one for the event "murder of Alex Woodworth". I am not insulting you or accusing you of deliberately doing this with bad intentions, but it seems a bit like a page written to attack Ezra, instead of looking at the "murder of Alex Woodworth". I would also question the reliance of court TV as a reliable source in the article. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you, but I must have messed up in my request at WP:RM/TR. Before the move war, the article was placed at "Kuva-yi Milliye", not at "National Forces (historical Turkish militia)".

hello Emir she is my cousin. a famous singer in bangladesh. i am helping her to make this wikipage. one modrerator from wikipage was asking me whether i was taking financial advantage from herm. NO- i am NOT taking any financial advantage from her or anybody.

'HitroMilanese' - another moderator from wikipedia was saying that this page is for promoting her.

as i said before, she is a famous singer in bangladesh. all her informations are available on internet in different medias. i just wanted to put all the info in a wikipage. so that people can get all the info from a single page or article.

that is what i am all about. i am new to wikipedia or wikipage. if i do any mistake or violate any of your rules without knowing them- sorry for that.

thank you so much for your time

You has reverted my edit on the page and said "who said?". I said because if you look at the photo you uploaded there is also Saad bin Abdul Rahman who died in 1915.

Hi Emir of Wikipedia,

just wanted to report that for some reason after this modification on Fasting:

18:34, 31 August 2020‎ Emir of Wikipedia talk contribs‎ m 103,653 bytes -1,473‎ date formats per MOS:DATEFORMAT by script

half of the page references were gone.

I cannot track this using the diff tool (???) but it's just that the previous and after modification version points to that direction.

Sorry if I'm wrong, just thought it was worth mentioning since the "script" tag :)

I appreciate your quick response. Have a wonderful day! — Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 17:17, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have a good day too. People might try and bring it back though, so keep an eye out. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both of these edits are reverts, meaning you have exceeded 1RR. Please fix. I have already explained in an editsum why a cite is not needed for the last sentence in the lead; if you disagree with that reasoning please open a discussion. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mandruss, can you double check your links please? One is not an edit, and I do not get what you mean by the other one. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Second link fixed, sorry. I don't get why you don't get what I mean by the other one. Do you dispute that it was a revert? ―Mandruss ☎ 17:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you revert the edits you think are wrong and I will explain why I think they should be included on the talkpage. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:28, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, because then I would violate 1RR. If you would remove the cn that you added to the last sentence of the lead, I would consider the problem fixed as far as 1RR goes. I would still oppose the other cn's in the lead for the reason I gave in the editsum, but that would be separate from the process issue, and per 1RR I can't revert them (yet). ―Mandruss ☎ 17:32, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no cn tag on the last sentence of the lead. Have removed the other one though. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:34, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you consider the possible 1RR problem resolved now? No comment on the article or other editors action please, just the issue you had with me. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:39, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:43, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you please involve in the discussions about moving the articles about Saudi royals, there are just two editors, they initiated a discussion and without informing the related authors they began to move these articles deleting the family name "Al Saud". It is very interesting that one of these editors is using just IP. for instance, you may look at the talk page of Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. --Egeymi (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From Cory Booker’s page (talk section):

Cory Booker beat Desus & Mero at a game of basketball. There is a clip on YouTube, and Desus & Mero frequently mention it (mainly because of how high they were while playing). I don’t know if anyone wants to add that information or not. Jhurley85 (talk) 16:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide the source. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:07, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find a way to reply with a source, and it will not allow me to add a new discussion to the talk page.

Barack Obama then went on to talk to them about their game with Booker.

You say the article doesn't fail WP:GNG, yet have made no attempt to edit the article to demonstrate this.

Hello,

this is pretty straight forward. He is a Slovak immigrant protected under the DACA program due to his parents entering the U.S. illegally when he was a child. This is stated and sufficiently cited under the Personal life section. Many editors seem to think that him living in the U.S. makes him an American national, which it does not. Nothing really there to discuss, it is just plain false. <!-- Do not add American --> should be re-added. Throast (talk) 17:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I just saw that you didn't remove the text. But I still think that the discuss-tag is redundant. Throast (talk) 17:54, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Throast, can you please add your views to Talk:David_Dobrik#Nationality_description. I will not remove the discuss tag and/or add American until there is consensus to. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that there are no grounds to start a discussion on this specific topic. This dispute stems from editors being confused about what "nationality" means. Dobrik's nationality is not disputed and therefor not up for discussion. But I guess I will play along. Throast (talk) 19:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point of view, but you need to explain that on the article talkpage not on my talkpage. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for organizing well formatted and productive discussions. I appreciate that, but please mind the pace especially on topics with limited community participation.

You insisted that linking Rainbow Six in Without Remorse (film) was WP:EGG and repeatedly forced your preferred version of the page.

I disagreed with your assessment (that's not an egg that's simply disambiguation) and also your verbose attempts to resolve it, so I brought it to the talk page but you did not discuss. You eventually added a Footnote instead after I repeatedly asked you to do so in edit summaries. It was a reasonable compromise that seemed to satisfy your concerns without messing up the plot section.

Another editor is insisting that the footnote is not necessary, and pushing a simple link in the text like it was before.

If you don't WP:DISCUSS on the Talk page and show there is consensus for a Footnote then I'm not going to continue to make any further attempts to maintain the compromise. -- 109.79.175.162 (talk) 12:27, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.

Hi Emir of Wikipedia,

You have undone most of my edits without a proper explanation.

90% of what I've done is removed repetition of content and duplication of citations; inspite of which my edits have been reverted.

Hello Emir of Wikipedia,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
• This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
