comment on Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation

You left a comment that the first paragraph of the lead needed clarifying. Any suggestions? It, of course, seems clear to me because I have been immersed in it for so long, so I am at a loss for new ideas right now. If you can point to, well, anything, it would be a great help. I have really struggled with this article. Help? Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:42, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit unclear about what the article is about. Is it about a theory that Christianization of the Roman Empire was associated with the diffusion of innovation? Or is it about using diffusion of innovation to model the Christianization of the Roman Empire? Or something else? VR talk 05:43, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Groan... this is bad. What am I gonna do for people who are unfamiliar with sociology? Diffusion of innovation is a theoretical approach to explaining how society's of all kinds change. It's been applied to the Roman empire in order to explain how the empire was changed. Yes, it's a model. It's a new explanation that's kind of, well, actually, it's revolutionary. It overturns earlier scholarship. I thought the lead explained that. I am apparently completely blind. I cannot see why it doesn't. I am hanging my head in shame, weeping copiously, with no hope. I have no idea what to do with this now. It's a truly important concept - undoing the previous 200 years - that WP should have an article on! And I have failed at communicating this. I am truly at a loss. How would you explain it? Is there another statement in the lead that helps at all? How would you restate? Diffusion is a new alternative explanation for how the Roman empire was Christianized. That's it. That's all there is. Please read the article! Does it get any clearer? Argghh! Sob! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:37, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay! I tried something! I can't tell if it's an improvement! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you look at it and tell me what you think? Is it any clearer? I'm sorry for the melodrama, but you have no idea what I have been through with this article in. the last year. It has been a fight from the get-go, and I am determined not to give up on it. Please help me insure its success.Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:00, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: Sorry for the delay. The first sentence is now much clearer, thanks. I haven't looked at the rest of the article yet. Thanks for taking the time to engage with me.VR talk 19:53, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto! Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:46, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You know, if you are actually going to go to the trouble of reading it, and commenting, it would be a good use of your time if you went ahead and picked up the GAN as the reviewer... how's that for impeccable logic? Hah! Of course, any input is appreciated - but you might consider it. No hard feelings if you don't - just sayin', you know? Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good point and I might just do that if that article remains unreviewed for a few months. But I'm more interested in providing input at Talk:Bible/GA1 - a more interesting topic, I'm sure you'd agree.VR talk 23:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I find this article much more fascinating than the one on Bible. To each his own. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deoband Community Wikimedia

Assalamu Alykum, dear @Vice regent. I pray that you are in the best state of everything. I started a Wikimedia user group last year and it was recognised by the AffCom in January 2022. This recognised affiliate user-group aims to add/improve information related to global Deobandi scholarship on Wikipedia and its sister projects at a global level. In case you find yourself interested, please feel free and have a look at the affiliate's meta page. I'm looking forward to arrange some contests and other international collaborations. Our recent meet in Deoband was covered by Free Press Kashmir. Looking forward to hear from you! ─ The Aafī (talk) 19:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Walaikum assalam, TheAafi. Eid Mubarak! And that is why I haven't been online lately. I actually wanted some help from the Islamic scholarly community. Recently I started writing an article Draft:Bay al-inah on a complicated topic. I haven't had much progress, but once I do, I would like a scholar to take a look at it and give me feedback before publishing this article. Would it be possible to find someone like that?VR talk 14:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vice regent. Eid Mubarak to you too. I'm mentoring @Numis Zuhair, a Mufti, and an alumnus of Deoband seminary who's likely interested in such topics. I'm taking this to my notes as well and seeking assistance/feedback offline from someone interested in Islamic economics and finance. Best wishes, ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:58, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vice regent. I've tried to reach certain scholars through Deoband Community Wikimedia. Mufti Faisal Mahmudi from Darul Ifta Canada is willing to help on this. He has responded stating, "when done, please contact me, I'll have a couple of ulama go through it and point out". I hope this helps. ─ The Aafī (talk) 07:17, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
TheAafi Thanks for mentioning me here, it will be a plus for me to be a part of such research because I have been attending webinars of Islamic Economic Association under Kuwait University to understand Islamic banking.Vice regentKindly let me know how may I help.Numis Zuhair (talk) 08:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vice regent! Would you be available to help resolve this dispute here? (If not, do you happen to have any suggestions for us?) Thanks very much. Albertatiran (talk) 07:40, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

Hi just checking in to see what's going on with Talk:Killing of Jay Abatan/GA1. I have chunks of holiday time for the foreseeable future so not in any major rush, but wanted to make sure you know I have replied. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 13:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: Thanks for the heads up.VR talk 04:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA reviews

I hope you are well - do I need to do anything else on

Talk:Wind power in Turkey/GA1

and

Talk:Geothermal energy in Turkey/GA1

please?

I am thinking of nominating Renewable energy in Turkey but it uses excerpts from the above articles so I should probably complete them first.

Nomination to send Union councils of Pakistan to draft

Hey @Vice regent I wanted to give you a heads up that I sent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Union councils of Pakistan to AfD. Normally this is done when you want to delete an article, that is not what I am proposing. I want to send this article to Draft so it can be worked on and improved. This will prevent someone else from nominating it for deletion and give the article time to have it's problems addressed. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 19:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr vulpes: thanks for the notification, but I respectfully disagree as I'm concerned this will get auto deleted by a bot in a few months for lack of activity.VR talk 02:55, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It has six months of inactivity before it’s deleted. So if someone is at least making progress it won’t be deleted. But you are more than welcome to bring that concern to the AfD. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 03:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid once its draftified not many users will even see that page.VR talk 03:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA review of Wind power in Turkey

Thanks for reviewing my other article. I hope you are well - do I need to do anything else on

Talk:Wind power in Turkey/GA1

please?

I am thinking of nominating Renewable energy in Turkey but it uses excerpts from the above article so I should probably complete that first.

Regards Chidgk1 (talk) 05:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested new reviewer - but if you become available feel free to continue - thanks for your very useful work on this Chidgk1 (talk) 06:14, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think a second review would be helpful. I'll give my final comments soon.VR talk 16:13, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
