Hi in the last sentence of this article you mention “jetting” which doesn’t seem to make any sense. If you can tell me what the sentence says in Italian I may be able to figure it out. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 09:22, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I think saying in the hook that's a Jewish specialty might have been even more attractive, but I clicked anyway ;) - Easter left strong impressions --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I see you edited the article Matrakçı Nasuh a long time ago. Recently I uploaded this file but I have problems with its description. A lot of websites write that its author is Nasuh Al-Matrakî [sic]. Now Matrakçı Nasuh is listed in Commons as the author. But I have very big doubts: he died long before 1600; or maybe he is the author, so the map is not from 1600. I want to ask for your help in establishing these facts, because I do not find the authoritative sources I need. Sincerely. Smpad (talk) 14:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Alex, hope you're doing well. Long time no speak. I've noticed a few IPs (operated by the same user in all likelihood, given that the IPs edit war and support each other in tandem, and also geolocate to the same country) have been keen on inserting hopelessly WP:UNDUE/WP:POV content into various Armenia-related articles.[4] Goal: push Armenia as a fully or semi-European state in infoboxes and ledes of various Armenia-related articles.[5] Seems they do not care about the fact that while the country, in the modern day, may geo-politically be considered Europe or Eurasian, geographically it is not and has never been (and will never be, unless it somehow conquers a lot of new territories, which is unlikely). A well known recurring mainly WP:FORUM-ish theme on Wikipedia that resurfaces every few months, I was wondering about your thoughts vis-a-vis this new batch? - LouisAragon (talk) 14:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
