Hi,
I think that the map should be changed to include the Libyan Civil War, and perhaps also some change in Yemen--MiguelMadeira (talk) 21:56, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Hey there, I am originally from Cameroon and we identify ourselves as both West and Central Africa due to our history and cultures linking us to both regions. From an economic perspective, it is central due to its association with the central African community, but from a cultural historical, and geographic perspective, it is both. Cameroon is the crossroads of both west and central Africa. There is nothing nuanced about this. Teeyawiki (talk) 11:04, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! I saw you moved the List of U.S. state topics to List of US state topics. Americans typically abbreviate the country name with periods, which is a legacy of the U.S. Government Printing Office manual of style among other things. I know the good people of the UK style theirs with no periods and in international articles it would make sense to wipe the periods for consistency, but since the lists on the page in question all use U.S., I think the move is probably unwarranted in this case. Let me know what you think. Best, jengod (talk) 19:31, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
I see you've edited the short descriptions of a lot of monarchs. Unfortunately, as set out in WP:SDDATES, "from" and "to" should be used for dates of reign, whereas a date range in brackets implies dates of birth and death. I've reverted the last few such edits you made; I'd appreciate it if you could self-revert the rest. Thanks, Rosbif73 (talk) 14:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, how can I use regular expression in Wikipedia? JackkBrown (talk) 22:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
[Dd]enominazione [Dd]i [Oo]rigine [Cc]ontrollata
in the find box, and Denominazione di origine controllata
in the replace box. With regexes, the []
means it picks one of the options inside the brackets, so either D
or d
will be found if you search for [Dd]
, for example.Obviously the amount of work would be exaggerated, even though I have corrected no less than 107 articles. What I would like to propose to you is if you could help me transform all the "Provinces of..." (example: "Province of Pordenone", article already corrected by me) into "province of..." (example: "province of Pordenone", with lowercase), obviously including all the municipalities of all the provinces; unfortunately, there are at least 30 municipalities for each province, which in total makes, at least, 107 x 30; I don't want to scare you, but it's a job that needs to be done, and I could use your help. You will find all provinces within this article: Provinces of Italy. Thank you very much in advance. JackkBrown (talk) 00:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Short descriptions serve a specific purpose on Wikipedia. They are not definitions of an article's topic, and should not simply repeat the information given by the article's title.

Hi Remsense. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I really wish you wouldn't bundle up huge edits like this – it makes it extremely difficult for other editors to see what's going on. I'd encourage you to make incremental edits to the target article (with edit summaries for each part) instead of batching them up elsewhere. Kanguole 23:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

(iv) Inked squeezes and stencil duplication
Rubbing is a process of making inked squeezes on paper from inscriptions on stone, metal, bone, or other hard-surfaced materials. The process of stone rubbing is very similar to that of block printing; the difference lies only in the methods of engraving and of duplicating. Except for very few cases, inscriptions on stone are always cut into the surface in intaglio with characters in the normal positive form. When a rubbing is made, the paper is laid on the stone and squeezed against the surface. Ink is applied to the surface of the paper, thus producing a white text on black background. The wood block, on the other hand, is always cut in relief with characters as a mirror image. When a print is made, ink is applied to the block, the paper is placed on it, and the back of the paper is brushed to obtain a black text on white background. Although the basic materials for engraving and the end products are different, the purpose of making duplications and the use of ink and paper as media are the same.
The technique of rubbing involves the processes of laying the paper on stone, tamping the paper into the intaglio, applying ink to the paper, and removing the paper from the surface after completion." The whole process is much more complicated and slower than that of printing.— Tsien, page 143
The use of stencils was another pre-printing method for duplication. The stencil was usually made of a sheet of thick paper perforated with needles to form the designs to be reproduced. The stencil was laid on the surface and the design was transferred by applying ink to the perforations. The date of the earliest use of the stencil is unknown, but the recent discovery of silk fabrics printed in coloured patterns from the Han tomb at Ma-Wang-Tui, Chhangsha, indicates that the technique can be traced back to the —2nd century. Animal skin or thin silk fabric treated with varnish or some other tree sap may have been used at this time, and certainly such a use of skin and paper was common in the Thang and Sung. Several paper stencils with perforated designs of Buddhist figures have been found in Tunhuang, together with finished stencilled pictures on paper, silk and on plastered walls (Fig. 1109); other paper stencils of later dates already in museums were used for the reproduction of designs on textiles.
— Tsien, page 146
Your signature is quite disruptive. In forums such as Wikipedia:Teahouse it stands out, catches the eye, draws attention. These are all unwelcome things for other users. Just as wikipedia does not carry adverts, wikipedia users should not change their signatures into what is, in effect, an advert. Please consider changing your signature back to a normal sized signature. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:30, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
A distracting, confusing, or otherwise unsuitable signature may adversely affect other users. For example, some editors find that long formatting disrupts discourse on talk pages, or makes working in the edit window more difficultbut as the guidance stands at present, it is not obvious that yours contravenes it. Unless it is visually disturbing to a class of readers (for example, red on green), when it would violate MOS:ACCESS but if so, it is not one I've come across. (BTW, I see no advertisement either.) --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:13, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Since the stupid encryption protocol upgrade of December 2019, the only way I can view or edit Wikipedia at all from home is by a circuitous and indirect route which involves using a non-fully-Unicode-compliant tool. When I edited the Language Ref. Desk recently to fix a typo in the word "realization", using public WiFi, I saw the Chinese charcter in your signature then, but it was completely invisible to me when I was editing Talk:Sinosphere from home (and I had no control over what the non-fully-Unicode-compliant tool would do to it).

Hello! I'm here to explain you what my edits were about, I was just fixing some terms, and those didn't need citations, I was changing to King of England because it was the common way to put, and is to emphasize the fact that England was fully united by 927, the term "King of the Anglo-Saxons", which started with Alfred the Great was until England got united, if there was the term "King of the English" then it would cause confusion to others as they could thing that England wasn't unified yet when it was. I just wanted to fix terms according of how was more common to put, that's all, trust me, I'm just letting you know what I intended to edit.

Remsense留 23:47, 4 January 2024 (UTC)The title "King of the English" or Rex Anglorum in Latin, was first used to describe Æthelstan in one of his charters in 928. The standard title for monarchs from Æthelstan until John was "King of the English". In 1016 Cnut the Great, a Dane, was the first to call himself "King of England". In the Norman period "King of the English" remained standard, with occasional use of "King of England" or Rex Anglie. From John's reign onwards all other titles were eschewed in favour of "King" or "Queen of England".
Hi Remsense. Per your own quote "At the time that this ewer and the group of long-necked ewers to which it relates were produced, Herat was under the control of the Ghurids, not the Seljuqs, but evidence strongly suggests that these pieces were exported to centers in Seljuq Iran and elsewhere." Doesn't this mean that the work is Ghurid, but such pieces were often exported to various parts of Iran from Ghurid Herat? So, this makes the piece Ghurid, not Seljuk. Finbarr Barry Flood also explains about the metalwork school in Herat during the Ghurid period (Flood, Finbarr Barry (12 July 2022). Objects of Translation: Material Culture and Medieval "Hindu-Muslim" Encounter. Princeton University Press. ISBN 978-1-4008-3324-5.) Many objects from this period are confused as being Seljuk as a simplification, when they are actually Ghurid or Khwarazmian (but often incorporate a defunct Seljuk tradition to a various degree)... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 06:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I am your worst nightmare, a sort-of native Chinese speaker. Your signature intrigues me, as “leave behind” doesn’t necessarily mean “留言” at a glance. Is there something specific that made you change it from “聊”? If it’s concerns over formality, I would suggest “诉” or “訴”, which means “tell” by itself and can have either a neutral or a negative connotation (even “sue”!) depending on what expression you use it with, which I suppose could be made tongue-in-cheek.

I have done created the table of assessment of WP:3TOPE. But it seems that the table did not gives the number of articles, instead, it's blank. Here is the table, by the way, Wikipedia:WikiProject Polyhedra/table. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 08:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
I am wondering if you want me to start the "splitting" process for "Chinese calendar". I have been working on the article, but it would be better if it were less unwieldy -- due to all of the important details which would seem best to be moved into new articles (while retaining the gist of it in the main "Chinese calendar" article). I am willing to create new articles and move most of the details to them, while retaining the general material in "Chinese calendar". I think that the extended details of the dynastic history of variations on the lunisolar calendar would well deserve space in a new article. This could create space for your endeavors and you could replace the articles with your edits? We did seem to agree with the "split" proposal. What are your thoughts?

Impressed by your thoughtful response to 'It is what it is, but is it?' on TeahouseBlueWren0123 (talk) 03:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Your recent edits at Cultural Revolution are very good.
You templated the background section as needing further context. I'm willing to help here if I can. What do you suggest lay readers need more context for? I generally see the section as too long (consistent with your templating of the article overall). It strikes me, for example, that the amount of Great Leap Forward material could be shortened. This is only one view of course, and we might develop some context and trim others. JArthur1984 (talk) 15:47, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Remsense. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the ((Ctopics/aware)) template.

Hi Remsense, did you do any reviews for the backlog drive? If so, could you add them to the drive page to be checked off for points? -- asilvering (talk) 00:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Remsense. Please see WP:ANI#Removing entire section of feudalism pages due to lack of understanding where another editor is complaining about your edits of the Feudalism article. EdJohnston (talk) 03:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Remsense,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deng Xiaoping. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
