Proposed deletion of Abdallah Marrash

[edit]

The article Abdallah Marrash has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nothing to indicate notability; founded an ephemeral magazine?

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --MelanieN (talk) 20:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Sounds like a real challenge. Maybe copying the information into an article about one of his relatives would be a good way to preserve it, until you (or someone) have time to create a real article. --MelanieN (talk) 00:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers

[edit]

Bryan -

Thanks for adding the link to History of Middle Eastern Newspapers in the Newspaper article. I added the links to Asian newspaper history to shift the article away from an almost totally Anglo-American focus. Yes, newspapers are dying, but NOT in places like India. I know that journalism is a vital part of the Arab Spring (Al-Jazeera, etc.), but what of newspapers? Can you add something to the Newspaper article, or link to some other articles, on the current state of journalism & newspapers in the Middle East?

Maryana Marrash

[edit]

Hello Bryan. First of all, congratulations on your wonderful work with the "Marrash" brothers. I saw your inquiry at the resource exchange page about Maryana Marrash's full name. While I haven't been able to get my hands on the book in question, I've looked up several sources, and it seems that there's indeed a Butrus Marrash that is Maryana's great-grandfather (father of Nasrallah Marrash). Khayr al-Din al-Zirakli (a prominent poet and writer of the time, has several mentions of him in his encyclopedia of Syrian biographies (الأعلام للزركلي)). Butrus Marrash seems to have been killed in Aleppo in 1818, during a feud between Catholic and Orthodox Christians of the city, according to Zirakli. I hope that helps. Yazan (talk) 08:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick reply: this article by Sayyed Ali Ismail (Professor of Modern Arabic Literature and Critique at Helwan University) explicitly says that Butrus was her great-grandfather. Yazan (talk) 16:43, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Bryan P. C. C.

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:51, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Names of public universities in France

[edit]

Hello, I'm curious about your changes to the names of the public universities in France. It seems that you are preferring French versions of names over English versions. For instance Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie instead of Pierre and Marie Curie University. I may be wrong about this, but I think that it is pretty settled English-language Wikipedia policy that English versions of names should be preferred. In any case, shouldn't the articles themselves be the places to begin renaming, and shouldn't the template simply reflect the naming convention used for the articles? Kind regards, MyPOV (talk) 23:28, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I'd like to invite you to work on this list: Talk:List_of_public_universities_in_France#Names_of_the_universities. Many French universities themselves provide English language names on their own English language websites. Pierre and Marie Curie University is an example [1]. MyPOV (talk) 23:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Bryan P. C. C., sorry to be so slow to reply, I've been AFK for awhile. I must say, I don't know what the best answers would be to your questions. Should it be Panthéon or Pantheon? Should it be Bretagne Occidentale University or University of Western Brittany? I'm not really sure. But I would be happy to try to work out with you a set of guidelines that we could apply across the names of the French universities. Kind regards, MyPOV (talk) 12:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Opting in to VisualEditor

[edit]

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:26, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I read the Francis Marrash article through and through. I was deeply impressed by not only the man, but of the article itself. Kudos to you! Very well done! I am glad to read about something about Syria that isn't so depressing. I thought the timing was perfect for the FA. Now people can see Syria not only as a war-zone, but of something more than that.
