Reference Errors on 30 January

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Post-coup unrest in Egypt (2013–14) page, your edit caused a URL error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

List of ongoing armed conflicts

Due to the fact that each sub-title is by the numbers of casualties in each year, it makes sense to arrange the tables according to the number of deaths by the last year, not by the start date of a conflict.

Perhaps you're right, I think the start date of conflict was chosen because it's the first column of the table. Anyway, please leave a message on the talk page, so that more experienced editors can express their opinion on a change to the convention followed so far. I've been collaborating for just a month now, I don't know what other editors think. Thanks, Nykterinos (talk) 11:24, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Internally displaced person, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DRC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

1RR

I would politely ask that you cancel your last revert of me because it breaks the general 1RR rule imposed on all Syria-related articles. Editors are prohibited to revert/cancel edits made by other editors more than 1 time in 24 hours. You did it two times by reinserting the part about ISIL, Nusra etc. Thank you in advance. EkoGraf (talk) 20:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@EkoGraf: OK, sorry, I just wanted to point out the problem. I accepted your addition of "foreign anti-government fighters" in the key, but I inserted back "in ISIL, Nusra, etc." because that's what SOHR says. I'm not even sure that SOHR breaks down ISIS and Nusra fatalities into Syrian and non-Syrian, it would seem rather odd to me. Anyway, most foreign fighters belong to ISIS and Nusra, as SOHR says, so it would be helpful to specify it. Thanks, Nykterinos (talk) 20:42, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited War in Somalia (2009–present), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Al-Shabaab.

Please refrain from discriminating against bold users like me. What is right might be more important than the consensus of angry one-sided morons. Zakawer (talk) 12:19, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

European Migrant Crises

Hello Nykterinos, File:Sea arrivals to Greece and Italy, 2015.png states that the EU-Turkey deal is the reason for the slowdown of migration. The closing of the Balkan route should be mentioned too, because it was at least an additional factor. --Pass3456 (talk) 13:18, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
