Hi, I love your work, if you are French speaking, could you do the same thing on the French wikipedia? or at least translate the articles you create into French. HanKim20 (talk) 18:54, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Arab migrations to the Maghreb
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Arab migrations to the Maghreb you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Steelkamp -- Steelkamp (talk) 14:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Arab migrations to the Maghreb
The article Arab migrations to the Maghreb you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Arab migrations to the Maghreb for comments about the article, and Talk:Arab migrations to the Maghreb/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Can you explain a revert you did in July?
Hi, could you please explain why you reverted my edit (different IP, it's dynamic) <here>? The citation still has the problems I pointed out when I removed it (and the text after it) which is that it was improperly done -> it circularly mentions a citation that existed back in 2007 when it was added, but does not appear to exist now.
Granted you or I could have tried finding said citation and made it correctly, but I didn't think it or the text after was really needed for that particular list, as it's linking to said page (and the text after it was seemingly never supported by citations).

- It appeared to me that you deleted sourced content. The citation mentioned Talbi, whose book can be found in the Bibliography section of the page. Either way, I sourced the statement with a better and easily accessible citation. Skitash (talk) 13:18, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, that's fair, I must have missed it. Thank you for the explanation and for fixing the citation. – 2804:F14:80FB:2E01:9151:EF40:3E6C:C4A0 (talk) 23:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- No worries. Thanks for pointing out the issue with the source. Skitash (talk) 15:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello,
Why don’t you agree on putting a colored photo for Gamal Abdel Nasser page?
Thanks Masry684 (talk) 01:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- It is best to keep the original and non-artificial image. Also, you would have to seek consensus on the talk page before making such edit. Skitash (talk) 08:47, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- I understand you, you’re right. That’s why the last photo I put was originally colored, the one from 1969, it was not artificial.
- Not to mention that the original photo existing now is not an appropriate photo for a president. Not any president from any country have the main photo of his page smiling this wide smile.
- Please advise how to achieve consensus so I can succeed in this edit.
- Thanks Masry684 (talk) 13:02, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- The last photo you added might not be the ideal choice as it seems to be a low-quality image from a social media platform. The current image seems satisfactory in my opinion, although I would not mind changing it back to this photo [1], which was previously used as the infobox photo. If you would like to seek consensus, please read Wikipedia:Consensus and start a discussion on the article's talk page. Skitash (talk) 14:18, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Maghrebis
Hi, can you add your page on the Arab migrations to the Maghreb to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghrebis?
The user "The Adam Truth" tries to misinform, he does the same on the French version of wikipedia (too bad you don't intervene there too, your article should be translated ...) HanKim20 (talk) 10:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Will do. The article on Maghrebis appears to be excessively centered on one specific subject. I was looking forward to contributing information on various other topics to the page. Skitash (talk) 13:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Revert of Six-day war in October
Hi!
Sorry, but I don't understand how Saudi Arabia was not involved in the war when they deployed troops to Jordan who clearly was involved in the war. NecromancerOfEnchanting (talk) 09:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- The sources that were intended to support Saudi Arabia's involvement in the war only stated that Saudi troops arrived at Ma'an to strengthen the Jordanian defence positions in Jordan. They were not directly involved and did not take part in any fighting (e.g. in the West Bank). Please read this source [2] "Saudi Arabia played no significant role in the events leading up to the June war. No Saudi troops fought in the war—only a small detachment of Saudi troops entered southern Jordan to help the Jordanian military, but they arrived too late to fight." Skitash (talk) 10:58, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- oh ok thanks! NecromancerOfEnchanting (talk) 21:01, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Laayoune or Laâyoune
Hi! In fact, Laâyoune has a â on the second A, it's written like this because when you pronounce you must make un inflexion on second A, it's transliterated from arabic. The Laâyoune without the â looks wierd, can you explain why we should not write it like it is written in the country ? Heralune (talk) 01:34, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Per WP:COMMONNAME, the most commonly used name should be favored. In this case, "Laayoune" is more widely recognized and used than "Laâyoune."[3] Additionally, the accepted name of the subject in the article body should be consistent with the title, which is Laayoune in this case, per MOS:LEAD. The Arabic transliteration belongs in the Arabic language template. Skitash (talk) 10:42, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
