Would it be appropriate to have a separate "Ottoman Jordan" article? Or is there too little information to add? --Makeandtoss (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I have been trying to clean up a bit on Lebanon-articles lately, there are some problems:
On this map (which is typically linked from on all/most placed in Lebanon,) the South Governorate stretches quite far east. But if you look at the southern most part of that Governorate, that is: the Tyre District...it is much smaller.
It looks as if the Bint Jbeil District in that larger map is in the South Governorate, while it is now in Nabatieh Governorate (alas, not in its map!) Huldra (talk) 22:59, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, still cleaning up the southern Lebanese villages... Hebbariye, Rachaya Al Foukhar and Chebaa (Hasbaiya) all have pictures on commons; however, all the pictures are too big (=includes text). My present computer don´t seem to have (an easy!) way to cut these pictures down, do you? Huldra (talk) 22:42, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I've revamped the contest page into this, based on the new British model. Long term goal, but I've added entries since the beginning of July to give it some initial life. Please add anything you've done then this then too! I hope it proves productive long term. The contests are still planned, but will be more tools towards increasing bulk output in overall goal. It's a permanent goal now, and open! I would be grateful if you could keep a record of all your articles you do there, as I really think seeing the combined efforts will encourage others to create more content too! Please spread the word to the others, cheers!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:21, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Al Ameer son. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
I responded to your comment at Template:Did you know nominations/The Best Intentions, I also fixed a second dead link. Care to take another look? Ribbet32 (talk) 03:55, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
On 1 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Zufar al-Kilabi was given a high position in the Umayyad court and army in return for abandoning his support for the rebellion of Ibn al-Zubayr? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page , and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, I wondered if you'd be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge? The idea is to showcase the work being done on wikipedia across the continent, and inspire more people to create and work on countries which might not usually get much attention (like Iraq and Turkmenistan etc) and then possibly running some contests to bring in new editors. If interested add your name to the participants and I'll consider setting something up later in the month.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:19, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
for getting breaking the 50,000 edit barrier, which I calculate must have occurred in these last days. My highest regards. Numbers are not hard to rack up, yours, with the high quality, are. Best Nishidani (talk) 20:29, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm, it seems long ago that I gave you another one of these, but it was only last year. Probably my perception of relative time is warped by the constant stream of interesting and well-researched articles that you write on the history of Syria, Palestine and the Arabs in the Levant. So once again, thanks a lot for your hard work and unfailing dedication to quality, and keep it up! Cheers, Constantine ✍ 20:07, 13 October 2016 (UTC) |
On 14 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Numayrid dynasty, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- 01:03, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Assuming, based on your origin, that you know Arabic, there is this source, which is the only reliable Arabic source I found for Beit Qad, and I am not planning on making futher research for this article, so if you can, please try to incorporate any good information from this source, to the article. I translated the first two paragraphs, but it was difficult and I give up translating it myself (and google translate does a fairly bad job).

Hello Ameer, I know that you dont involve yourself in those disputes (normally, neither do I but this is so out of hand). This is consuming my Wiki time, I decided to start the rewriting of Zenobia in My Sandbox, but instead, I had to waste the time on the useless passionate fight of that editor Just look here
Here you will understand what Im talking about. That user is so militant, its kind of impossible to deal with him. Do you have any advice as I dont know how to act, I reached a dead end, no reason in the world can make this user get some sense.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 01:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
I understand and cant blame you really. Its stressfull and time consuming. Can you give at least your opinion in the discussion Here. As for the citadel, i will be glad to help if ever needed and any source about any findings in its site dating to the times of zenobia or odaenathus is helpful. Cheers.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 09:09, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Al Ameer son.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
