Daphne mezereum, commonly known as the mezereum, February daphne, spurge laurel or spurge olive, is a species of daphne in the flowering plant family Thymelaeaceae, native to most of Europe and western Asia. D. mezereum is very toxic because of the compounds mezerein and daphnin present especially in the berries and twigs. The flowers have a four-lobed pink or light purple (rarely white) perianth and are strongly scented. This D. mezereum flower was photographed in a forest near Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

Hi, you've been adding a large number of articles to Category:Supporters of Ibn Arabi, which you recently created. At least some of the articles you added to that category, such as Baybars, make no mention of the subject's relation to Ibn Arabi. As stated at Wikipedia:Categorization (see WP:CATV section in particular), the categories of an article must still be verifiable in the article itself. That means there should be content in the article itself, supported by reliable sources, that makes it clear that the article belongs in that category. Please do not add articles to categories if they lack that content; even if you know that they should be there, the article should be updated first. (Suggestion: you can leave a comment on the article's talk page if you don't have the time and resources to do this yourself; future editors may be able to do it instead and add the category later.)

Hello, TheEagle107 and welcome back! It's heart-warming to see you again. I've made several new threads and wondering if you could help me get them the tag for Authority control database. These are: Al-Kiya al-Harrasi, Muhammad bin Husayn al-Sulami, Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni, Al-Halimi and Jamal al-Din al-Isnawi. Thanks! Ayaltimo (talk) 12:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wow, you thanked me for my User page! Never had that happen before. It's a nice form of support. Martindo (talk) 21:31, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello @Martindo: I liked what you wrote about yourself and your life. One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world and see all of the amazing things it has to offer, especially where there is sea, warm sun, and good, kind people. For example, I would like to visit Phuket in Thailand and Bali in Indonesia. Let me take this opportunity to tell you something weird: throughout my life, I've been seeing Asians women are not pretty, but recently I've started to like Japanese and Korean women in particular and find them attractive in some way. 😃 Have a good day and take care. With respect and appreciation.--TheEagle107 (talk) 00:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar. Most of my work here is 99.99% editing. I actually forgot that I created some pages. In the case of Sunan Drajat, I actually had never heard of him but decided he needed a page after reading about him on Wali Songo which I spent a lot of time editing some years ago.

Hi, I was reviewing your article here. I fixed it a bit so the spacing around the ref/notes area is a bit better organised. I notice your using external links in the body of the article. These are strictly illegal and are considered disruptive editing. In this case here I turn them into references. Do not use them from this point forward. If your using them in articles can you remove them. They are great article apart from that. Great series of articles indeed!! scope_creep^Talk 13:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
