Help with Delirium

[edit]

Nice to meet you mate. I understand you're a Doctor which is amazing. Ive been working on improving Delirium article for a long time, but seems like not enough people care, or... maybe... want to help, with this disorder. The article has alot of information already but I improved it significantly by myself in the last month or so. Can you help, or if not, where in Wikipedia do I ask for others toh elp with specific article? If there's a place to ask,for assistance. Noam Atadgy (talk) 12:10, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Noam Atadgy: I would recommend you try WT:MED, the forum for medical contributors. I am not around much these days. JFW | T@lk 09:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Help with moving an article

[edit]

Hi Dr. Wolff: Admin help is needed in moving Jews in Madagascar to History of the Jews in Madagascar to matche all the other articles that are named "History of the Jews in ____", see Category:Jewish history by country#Pages in category "Jewish history by country". Thank you for your help and please let me know when you make the move so that I can fix the redirects affected by this. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 22:32, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IZAK:  Done I hope I won't get in trouble fort this given the previous discussion. JFW | T@lk 09:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @IZAK, I've reverted that move because, per the discussion spurred by the previous undiscussed move to that title, "Jews in Madagascar" is more concise, doesn't imply Jews as a foreign ethnic group (since much of the article discusses indigenous converts to Judaism as well as para-Judaic mystics), and doesn't imply that the content is historical (since much of it is 2010-onwards). There were similar undiscussed moves and reverts at Jews in Taiwan and Jews in Hong Kong. Zanahary 16:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zanahary: Thank you for your explanation that I totally oppose. These articles "History of the Jews in ____" have been around for over 20 years on WP without any problems until you arbitrarily decided to come along with the wrong reasons because these are not sociological articles or articles about a sect and they do not set the types of preconditions you are making up out of thin air, but rather they record the Jewish history of Jews, all kinds of Jews, in any country or region regardless of how long those Jews have existed or been recorded there or what types of Jews they are, whether "imported" or "home-grown" it makes no difference, they are part of the "History of the Jews in ____" . It could be ten years, or a hundred years or a thousand years, it's still their history. I intend to propose to change back the changes you have made and to retain the methodology that has existed on WP for well over two decades. IZAK (talk) 17:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
