Barnstar

I have noticed your good intentions and quality edits on topics regarding United Arab Emirates on Wikipedia, I believe you deserve this barn-star.

		The United Arab Emirates Barnstar of National Merit
		Your work on expanding the scope and coverage of UAE-related articles is valued and acknowledged. I know how hard it is to challenge biased and misinterpreted information originating from outside the region regarding the United Arab Emirates on Wikipedia . Please continue your superb work. Best regards, Wikiemirati (talk) 15:34, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Why, thank you! Alexandermcnabb (talk) 03:35, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Just for you

		The Cleanup Barnstar
		Hi A. You deserve this for all the time you've spent cleaning up the UAE articles. Your efforts are much appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 15:02, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

*blushing furiously*

• I was here for the same. Also, if you havent done so already: kindly stop going through the articles/creations of John Carter for a while. You deserve a good break (brake?) from that mess. Lets see how that discussion pans out at ANI. See you around :) —usernamekiran(talk) 01:40, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi usernamekiran I'm done, as I noted at ANI. As far as I know, they're all cleaned up now. Whatever other mess is still there, IDK. But the UAE stuff is done and dusted now. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 02:47, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Emirati passport‎. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Read more on Wikipedia:How to be civil DBigXrayᗙ 14:53, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

You're not serious, are you? Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:59, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Comment on content, not on contributors. is not a joke, don't be in any delusion. --DBigXrayᗙ 15:02, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

You attacked Wikiemirati and accused him of BS when he stated his objection to your proposal, tried to bully your POV on an unwanted move against consensus and gave me a lecture about what Wikipedia IS and then accuse me of attacking you because of what, precisely? Back to the article page, my man, and leave my talk page nice and clean when you go... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:05, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Comment on content, not on contributors. .If you feel that I have attacked Wikiemirati, then you are free to report me. I have focussed my comments only on the topic of discussion while yours is an all out personal attack on me. If you continue this behavior, rest assured I will be reporting you. So kindly treat this as a final warning diff. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 15:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

P.S. please learn how to use WP:INDENT--DBigXrayᗙ 15:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Alexandermcnabb, this user has accused me of being a POV pusher, stonewaller, performing stunts, BS content etc.. and I have ignored them all. I honestly am too busy in real world to deal with some keyboard commando in Wikipedia. It took two admins to revert his copyright edits. He will continue to game the system. I have linked him the Wikipedia:Advice for hotheads page and advised him to take a wiki-break, but he continues to have a very bad case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I wouldn't waste time on him. Keep up the good work. Regards. Wikiemirati (talk) 17:44, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Murdoch University Dubai

Hi Alexandermcnabb - Im the GM for Murdoch Dubai and im trying to update our Wiki page as it was not accurate and not a complete picture. Why is this causing so much discussion? Markbrownnavitas (talk) 09:42, 13 October 2020 (UTC) Markbrownnavitas

Firstly, User:Markbrownnavitas you're the LAST person who should be editing that page. You're adding content that is not reflective of a Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV is the policy on this) and not sourced, either. You'd be best to leave the page as it is - it's already been marked for deletion and is in danger of being deleted entirely, let alone your efforts to add content that just detract from the page's value. I suggest you revert yourself and leave editing the page to editors who do not have a conflict of interest (WP:COI) as you do. Right now you're breaking lots of rules on Wikipedia and it's not helpful to anyone. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

So User:Markbrownnavitas ended up going ahead and getting himself blocked... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:44, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

I am fed up of your silly comments!

Listen to me! I am fed up of your ridiculous comments. I don't understand what is your problem with me and my editing. "I DONT WANNA HEAR Your opinions about my editing" If you cannot stand the heat then you need to get out of the kitchen. I am fed up of your comments. I listened to you, I added sources. What else do you want?! I am going to report you. I had enough of you. I am done. Ramy5077 (talk) 17:59, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Ramy5077 you need to read the warnings on your talk page. They will give you an idea of why multiple editors are reverting you. I suggest you stop otherwise you're going to end up blocked. Praxidicae (talk) 18:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Praxidicae Please go to my page and check my comment. Ramy5077 (talk) 18:30, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Dear Alexandermcnabb;

I would like to deeply regret of what I have done, and I am terribly sorry for my erratic behavior. I know I should have logged in before I do some edits, but nevertheless, I acted bad, I was swearing and threatening you and Praxidicae. I just want to apologize for the two of you, for my uncivilized behavior. Now I am not expecting you to forgive me, I just want to apologize, and move on.

Thank you. Ramy5077 (talk) 09:46, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Alexandermcnabb,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

10	Utopes (talk)	3,958	Patrol Page Curation

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Creately

Hello. In case you missed it, a fairly obvious IP sock of User:Hareshamjadu has been removing the speedy tag you added to Creately (along with a valid orphan template). Thanks, 82.132.213.200 (talk) 11:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I did miss it - but there's more than one set of eyes on that article! :) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, please check my comments regarding this page deletion here. Martinvince (talk) 09:25, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Bilmuri

"Dear (User talk:Alexandermcnabb) Why was the page listed for deletion over "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries" There is no coverage of this standard referenced here. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:36, 14 December 2020 (UTC)" but the article has 7 cited articles and reviews from 4 different independent press outlets? How does this not cover the standards referenced above? Do you not accept them in online versions or do you not accept independent press at all? Im confused. Thank you for your time!" - DBScott1995 (talk) 22:18, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Michael Gläser

What makes you think Michael Gläser is not notable? Look at 50th Annual Grammy Awards, and don't waste our time, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Did you know ... ... that the choral conductor Michael Gläser was called in to lead the Thomanerchor in Leipzig when its musical director Georg Christoph Biller fell ill? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:06, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Do I care? Seriously? Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Al Moghameron

I had to change the spelling of the title but it wouldn't allow me so I had to move it to a new page

Can you verify the page again? Sorry.

Remove completely irrelevant section. The Al Qasimi were not involved in any military action against Berbera, the source does not uphold the assertion that Sultan was incapable of action due to 1819 and Al Qasimi activity in this area bears no relationship to any 'Battle of Berbera' - in itself one of the more dubious articles to be found on Wikipedia. The only relevant fact here is the existence of this letter.

I believe in consensus lets discuss Alexandermcnabb

1. The Al Qasimi were not involved in any military action against Berbera My edits never stated they were

2. The source does not uphold the assertion that Sultan was incapable of action due to 1819 and Al Qasimi activity in this area bears no relationship to any 'Battle of Berbera' Reading this article that you created yourself Persian Gulf campaign of 1819, there is widescale devastation and destruction of Qasimi territory and other ports of the Gulf, and a loss of significant sovereignty. Interestingly the only place you do not use sources is where you say this Campaign brought prosperity and put them on the path to becoming global cities. Yet you protest to my statement, despite Ras Al Khaimah being destroyed and his fleet ruined. Also, Sheikh Zayed revolutionized what is now the UAE not this gunpowder diplomacy.

3. 'Battle of Berbera' - in itself one of the more dubious articles to be found on Wikipedia This is unfounded dismissiveness, prove that it's dubious

4. The only relevant fact here is the existence of this letter Which naturally has contents and an entire book was dedicated by the direct descendant of Sultan Saqr - Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi. I would please like you to read it before you do anything further it is the main source on this topic. Here it is https://sheikhdrsultan.ae/Portal/Publication/2020/Letters-of-Somali-Leaders/index.html

I removed the statement that you took issue with, regards WanderingGeeljire (talk) 00:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
