Asia Month participation?

Hi Egeymi, I was wondering if you'd be interested in Wikipedia:Wikipedia Asian Month/2022#Sign up to the Asia Month of November and submit some of the articles you have created this month. Articles should have over 300 words, and I've seen several articles you created that would enter.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 03:39, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paradise Chronicle, thank you for your invitation. I will join it. --Egeymi (talk) 06:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea how to fix those bare urls? ReFill doesn't seem to be able to fix news.google links.

DarklitShadow (talk) 21:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any idea and the bot does not help. I sometimes do it manually which is very hard. --Egeymi (talk) 21:30, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for using the bare url template which makes it easy to access other articles. --Egeymi (talk) 21:32, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

bare urls

I have seen you removing the {{bare urls}} template from articles by just adding some text. That is still a bare url, per the example in WP:BAREURLS. A good fully-formatted citation should use a citation template, but certainly more than just a few words repeated from the url. MB 16:07, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at carefully, you will see I insert nearly all parameters, but if the link is dead, the information added is limited.--Egeymi (talk) 16:10, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you consider to warn those who put bare urls? It would be much more useful if we are to eliminate these bare references. --Egeymi (talk) 16:12, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I and other editors try to fix these references. Instead of reverting my edit, you may try to fix them giving full parameters. Hope you will not revert my edits again. --Egeymi (talk) 16:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In Maa Tara Chandi Temple, you removed the bare url template and added dead link. But a link can be temporarily dead because the server is down. Another user could try the link later and find that it works and just removed the dead link template. It is better to use both, I am not aware of any guidance to the contrary. Where did I revert your edit? In the above article, I left the dead link template you added, and also added {{bare url inline}}. MB 16:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where did I revert your edit? Really. Go and look at again, you reinserted the bare url template. --Egeymi (talk) 16:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bachelor of Arts

Hi. Regarding your edit of 14:20, 18 November 2022, I'm not aware of any place where the Manual of Style/Capital letters says that academic degrees should be in lower case. If you search that article for "Bachelor of " you'll find consistent use of upper case. The edit history of the redirect shows there has been some disagreement about this, but if you disagree with the capitalization you should take that up with Chris the speller. I'm working to clear "bachelor of "... from Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations and it's work enough to correct the drive-by editors without having to undo edits by other gnomes. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 01:02, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me about this. I'II be more careful about it in my future edits. Happy new year.Egeymi (talk) 03:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Names in article leads

I took note of your message on my talk page, and I have one issue with what you told me, which I find very contradicting. If a person’s full name is only meant to be sufficiently listed in the birth name slot, why do every other person articles start the leads with the person’s full name in addition to listing in the birth name slot? By that logic, all of those people’s full names should be removed from the lead because they’re already listed in the birth name slot. Marius1603 (talk) 17:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, exactly. It is just redundancy. --Egeymi (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But in that case why do you revert it, since so far it hasn’t become Wikipedia policy as far as I’m aware? Marius1603 (talk) 17:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bare references

You can find the bare references in Nia Ramadhani by searching for [h. They are hidden inside ref tags and not formatted as proper citations. They are not detected by Refill. I've fixed 4 already, but it is time consuming. Here is an example <ref>[http://www.kapanlagi.com/h/0000210481.html "Pakai Bikini, Nia Ramadhani Diomeli Ortu"] [Wearing a Bikini, Nia Ramadhani scolded by Parents], ''KapanLagi'', 26 January 2008, retrieved 19 March 2022 {{In lang|id}}.</ref> Sciencefish (talk) 09:13, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sciencefish Could you please look at Wikipedia:Bare URLs which states that the reference version you mentioned isn't a bare reference as below:

Here is a variation of this citation, typed in "manually" as:...

Even though it did not use a {cite ...} template, this version shows full information, and thus is not a bare URL.

To whom it may concern, You added the “Mein Kampf” passage in Kamel Mrowa’s Wikipedia page. May I know how you were able to dig up this piece of information? 185.76.178.85 (talk) 23:15, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The related source is given in the article. Why are you asking me you can easily access it.--Egeymi (talk) 05:47, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you want to read it. The source reads as follows (page 193):

- "The whole Arab youth is enthused by Adolf Hitler wrote Kamel Muruwa, the young editor of the Beirut newspaper An-Nida to the Foreign Minister in Berlin. The year after Hitler came to power Muruwa translated Mein Kampf from English into Arabic and published it in daily installments in An-Nida'.

Birth year correction

Thank you for your immense contribution to Hafize Gaye Erkan’s page. However, I suggest the wiki info in her Turkish page is incorrect, thus your reference for her birthday(NTV) must have lifted 1982 from that Turkish Wikipedia page.

see references 12 & 14, where her exact age was mention on different platforms and at different awards (Crain & American Banker)and you can correctly give her year of birth.

Date of publication of your reference is 06-06-2023, that’s post her Turkish Wiki page where no reference for such age is indicated.

Also a reason I have been hoping that the page is reviewed as soon as possible. TEB001 (talk) 20:45, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TEB001 hi there first I only put sourced info about her birth year without referring to Turkish wikipedia. There are many other Turkish sources giving her birth year as 1982. If you have other sources citing it other than 1982 then why don't you put it to the page yourself. --Egeymi (talk) 03:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Egeymi!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

@User:Zippybonzo I would like to assist this process, but I should first learn how to do it without any problems. I'll answer it soon. Thanks, --Egeymi (talk) 10:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I must be honest, if you are autopatrolled, which you are, you'd probably be pretty good as it requires an understanding of notability guidelines, which you have. If you need any help or want to ask any questions, ping me. :) Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 10:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Zippybonzo Thank you, then may I ask my first question: while doing this may I also ask the editor to provide full references instead of bare ones, if there is any, because I've been dealing with bare references since last November? Egeymi (talk) 11:00, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can, though I would tag it and run refill first, as it often works. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 11:03, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I will apply. Thank you again for the invitation. Egeymi (talk) 11:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably just fix bare URLs using refill (as Zippy mentioned above), or place the maintenance tag {{Cleanup bare URLs}}. You should not require fixing bare URLs in order to mark the page as reviewed, since that is not one of the official criteria. You can read more about the official criteria at WP:NPP, sepcifically the NPP flowchart. The required steps of the flowchart are basically checking for WP:CSD, checking for notability, and making sure the title is good. There are some optional steps in the bottom left corner such as maintenance tagging, WikiProject tagging, categories, and stub tagging, but those are optional and can be skipped. Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:38, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Egeymi. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM 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:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

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. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 01:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Ingenuity Hope I don't disturb you but I need help bc I couldn't see sidebar tool now. Could you please help me, thank you, Egeymi (talk) 18:00, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you go to a new page (for example, William Linnell) then the sidebar should appear; if it doesn't, there's probably a "Open Page Curation" button in the "Tools" section. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 19:21, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of degrees from infobox

Hi, I wanted to ask you about your edit where you removed the degrees I added. Why would you do so when most politicians have them listed in their infoboxes, see Steven Mnuchin, Greg Abbott, Narendra Modi. Vyvagaba (talk) 19:21, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because this slot is for their alma mater, not for their degrees which are given in the text. Giving examples from other articles can be misleading since in these pages this parameter is used incorrectly. Hope my answer helps, --Egeymi (talk) 19:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The related description reads as follows: Alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) |education=, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools).

?

Hello, Egeymi, I didn't spot your message until after you had reverted everything that I had written on the page 'Ivan Benediktov' and The Uzbek had restored it, and you then reverted all but Benediktov's patrynomic and the excerpt from Svetlana's memoirs. I also noticed that on Uzbek's talk page you say that I was including 'gossip type' material. Do you not think it would make the article more interesting if, for instance, we tried to some explanation as to why he was removed from his post as Minister for Agriculture and appointed Ambassador to India in April 1953, and reinstated five months later in his previous post as minister in September. (It is not correct, by the way, to say that he held the job for a year; the exact dates are in the Wiki entry List of ambassadors of Russia to India) I don't think any reason can ever be found in any official source, but in assuming that this was related to the rise and fall of Lavrentiy Beria I am relying on Robert Conquest, a very well known and authoritative historian. It also clear from you have written that Benediktov was relegated to a less important job and then sent back to India while Khrushchev was in control in the USSR. When quoting what each thought of the other, I was relying on Robert Conquest, and on Khrushchev's biographer, William Taubman, also a we;l respected historian. I have no wish to enter an editing war, but if you will allow, I would like to take another go at enlarging this entry.

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Egeymi,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Invite to Join Wikipedia Asian Month 2023

You are receiving this message because you participated in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 as an organizer or editor.

Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event.

1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.

Timetable

October 1st, 2023 : Publish International Campaign Page of the Year
October 5th to 25th, 2023 : Call for focus themes of WAM 2023.
Before 29 October, 2023: Complete Registration [3] of Each language Wikipedia.

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Egeymi:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1100 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:OABOT

Hello! I've noticed you're very active fixing citations with reFill. Have you tried the oabot tool? I'd love to hear about your experience doing some edits with it. There are new suggested edits in the queue. Nemo 21:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nemo Thanks for the message. But, I'm not very good at using bots. reFill is very simple so I could easily use it. If you guide me in using OABOT, I may also use it. --Egeymi (talk) 11:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to. What would work best for you? Nemo 14:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

:@Nemo Should I just visit the bot page and write the page, like in reFill?--Egeymi (talk) 15:59, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you log in, you should get an suggested page automatically. Then you can just check that the link makes sense for the citation and either approve or reject it. Nemo 16:24, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, sorry to bother you. I have finally understood. I'd like to use it. --Egeymi (talk) 16:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great to hear. This is actually an important learning: we currently require people to log in before they even get a chance to see what the tool does. We probably shouldn't. Nemo 07:53, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of non-diffusing categories

Hi there,

I noticed that you've mave several changes like this one [1][2], where you've removed Category:20th-century Saudi Arabian women from the Category:20th-century Saudi Arabian people. Please don't do that because per WP:DUPCAT Category:20th-century Saudi Arabian women is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:20th-century Saudi Arabian people.

How do you format your references?

Hello @Egeymi:,
I have noticed that references made by you are really nicely formatted. What tools do you use, if I may ask?

On Apple page, it says "reFill 2". I tried filling in some pages with Refil, but it returned errors every time I tried.

What other tools could you recommend? 88.118.99.217 (talk) 13:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you very much for the questions. I use reFill 2, but it does not help for PDF references, so I expand them manually. I also use Citer, if reFill 2 cannot expand the bare refs. If you use reFill 2, you may come across deadurl=y errors which should be changed manually with the parameter url-status=dead. Best, Egeymi (talk) 14:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Egeymi:! 🙂

Hello, could you please help fill in the bare URLs at List of New York Institute of Technology alumni. Thank you so much.

@Crampcomes: done. But are you planning to insert full references yourself? Egeymi (talk) 03:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I have filled in bare URLs to make full references in some articles manually to prevent link rot in the past, but it takes a long time. Crampcomes (talk) 04:19, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may use reFill2, which is faster. --Egeymi (talk) 04:22, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please fix citation number 14 at List of New York Institute of Technology alumni. I can't figure out how to do it.Thank you so much.Crampcomes (talk) 19:18, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On List of New York Institute of Technology alumni, bare URL references 123, 124, 125 and 126 are the same. I know there's a way to fill one and then connect the others to it, but I don't know how to do it. Would you please do it. Thank you so much. Also, the supposedly bare URLs at New York Institute of Technology Computer Graphics Lab are really messed up. I can't figure out how to fix them.Crampcomes (talk) 00:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can't fix the problems with citation #11 and citation number #14 at List of New York Institute of Technology alumni. Could you please fix it. Thank you so much and best regards,Crampcomes (talk) 12:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crampcomes: done. When you see these errors, please look at "website" parameters which contain the full form of the urls. To correct them you may remove http:// part. Egeymi (talk) 12:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now I know what was wrong. Thank you so very much!Crampcomes (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crampcomes: please tell me whenever you've problems.Egeymi (talk) 12:55, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for disturbing you again. I can't figure out what is wrong with citation #171 and #172, the "line-feed" error just won't get fixed.Crampcomes (talk) 18:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crampcomes: done, no problem. When the words in the title parameter are not spaced properly, it occurs. So you may check the space between the words. Egeymi (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Next time I definitely will check the space between the words properly. Thank you so very much for helping me out.Crampcomes (talk) 19:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bare urls

There are quite a few bare URLs spread all over the List of New York Institute of Technology alumni article page. Could you please help fill those. Thank you so much and best regards.Crampcomes (talk) 04:42, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, --Egeymi (talk) 05:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure out what is wrong with citation #3 at List of New York Institute of Technology alumni. Could you please fix it. Thank you so much and best regards,Crampcomes (talk) 00:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This issue has been resolved. Just letting you know that there are multiple bare URLs at New York Institute of Technology and Mohammed Ateeq Al-Falahi. It would be great if you could help fill those when you have time. Thank you so much and best regards,Crampcomes (talk) 01:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look at these pages, --Egeymi (talk) 05:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit?

Hi, can I ask why you reverted these edits to Aldo Oviglio? Your edit summary said that they included "Unexplained changes and addition of unsourced info", but the source was cited, and I don't understand why article expansions need explaining? IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 16:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should use edit summaries and present explanations. Because you changed many things without any explanations. Hope you'll use edit summaries for this purpose from now on. --Egeymi (talk) 16:49, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right, ok, I will reinstate my work, then. While I appreciate that leaving edit summaries is a courtesy, (+3,539) in green letters on a start-class article should speak for itself as an article expansion. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 16:52, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add source. Maybe you can read the related pages about using edit summaries. Expanding articles does not mean that edit summaries may not be used. Egeymi (talk) 17:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dustur

Hi! I saw this edit. To clarify, the Dustur is not a newspaper, but the empire's code of public laws. I cited passages of Strauss's article that show that he, in his book, was referring to a legal code.

Anyhow, happy editing! WhisperToMe (talk) 23:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WhisperToMe thank you for your correction of my error. Best, Egeymi (talk) 06:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

reFill 2

Hello, and thanks for your URL cleanup of Center of Leadership Culture. I ran it through reFill 2 twice, and it failed to format most bare links. Yet it seems to have worked fine for you. Are there settings on reFill2 that I should tweak? Thanks again, Wikishovel (talk) 12:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikishovel thanks, it isn't about settings, but I deleted (in German) phrases before submitting it to the tool. Because there should only be urls to produce full formats. Best, --Egeymi (talk) 12:52, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the drive

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's a pleasure to see another experienced WikiGnome joining the drive. You might want to take a look at the instructions section for ways to find articles with {{Unreferenced}}, but otherwise, I think you know what to do now. Good luck on Feb 1, you'll need it. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 02:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CactiStaccingCrane thanks, it would be nice to reduce unreferenced articles, happy editing,

Questions regarding surnames

Hi Egeymi. Hope you are well. I recently moved the page on Al Jawhara bint Musaed from "Al Jawhara bint Musaed Al Jiluwi" to "Al Jawhara bint Musaed Al Saud", since the article text implied that the house to which she belong was indeed Al Saud. But then I came across the article Fahda bint Asi Al Shuraim, in which it is described that she belonged to the Al Shammari family, so shouldn't the page be titled "Fahda bint Asi Al Shammari"? I refrained from making another move without discussing the issue with you first, since you probably have better access to sources on these subjects. Also, if you think the move on Al Jawhara's page was unnecessary I will gladly have it reverted. Best. Keivan.f^Talk 23:16, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Keivan.f Your move was correct. There's nothing wrong with it. Thank you very much for your message, happy editing, --Egeymi (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great. What about Fahda bint Asi Al Shuraim? Should that be moved to Fahda bint Asi Al Shammari or is it fine the way it is? This is also a tricky one and I'm not sure what the surname/house name actually is. Thanks for your prompt response by the way. I appreciate it. Keivan.f^Talk 05:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Keivan.f, sorry I focused on Al Jawhara. In regard to Fahda you're again right, and it should be moved as you suggest. Her father's page is named as Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari, so your move would be great. best, Egeymi (talk) 05:35, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kuznetsk Depression

Hi, and thanks for your contributions to the unreferenced articles drive. I was reviewing your edits, but I'm a little puzzled by the citation you added on Kuznetsk Depression. The paragraph containing the reference you added reads The Kuznetsk Depression contains the famous coal-mining Kuznetsk Basin. The main cities in it are Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, and Prokopyevsk.^[1] However, I was unable to find the section of the article you cited corresponding to the paragraph. Maybe I missed it; could you point me to which part of the journal article you intended to cite? Thanks. Altamel (talk) 02:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
