Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Would you please stop adding this message to my talk page? I read it. Jahelistbro (talk) 13:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello Jahelistbro, please don't add unnecessary tags as you did in this article. Citations are needed for conten that is not easily verifiable. When a bullet point is summarising a main article, please look at the main article for the citations. And, for clarification-needed tags, you need to specify what clarification is needed.
I notice that I have give given you a welcome message earlier, but you deleted it. Please be sure to read through the policies linked from the welcome message, especially the "five pillars" articles. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 20:36, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- It wasn't unnecessary at all. The article contains several instances of extremely poor english. I added a copy-editing tag. The article needs to be copy-edited. Your statements here need copy-editing even. "I have give you a message earlier". No, that is poor English. Instead it should be "I messaged you earlier". My edits aren't changing the content. I'm only copy-editing. As for the need for citation. I only included ths tag in instances where the statements weren't easily verified. If you disagree, verify them. From the link provided:
- "Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it."
- "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable."
- "Any material whose verifiability has been challenged — must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."
- And the clarification-needed tags; I feel the issue here is that there is a language barrier. Someone who isn't proficient in English is adding content to the article and it's resulting in confusion. I didn't have the time to explain exactly what is needed, nor am I entirely sure what is needed, because the statements were confusing.
- Now, as I have justified all my tags, can you see that this isn't "tag bombing"?
- Please get back to me. I'd like to come to an understanding, and I'd like to restore my edits ASAP.
- Peace my brother, Jahelistbro (talk) 13:44, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Jahelistbro, Peace is good! But, it seems that what you have missed is the very first sentence of the verifiablity policy:
verifiability means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source.
So, you need to check first, and challenge it if you are unable to check. It seemed to me that you were just adding tags wherever there wasn't a citation. You have even added tags to bits of paragraphs that had a citation at the end. To make progress, please pick a couple of examples of glaring problems, and challenge them on the article's talk page, and we can discuss further. - For clarification needed tags, there is a reason field in the template, which you need to fill in. What wasn't clear? We need to know before we can fix anything.
- PS. Please consult WP:TPHELP for how to indent and sign posts. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 14:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Jahelistbro, Peace is good! But, it seems that what you have missed is the very first sentence of the verifiablity policy:
- That is most definitely not what the first sentence means. It means that the article must provide references to reliable sources so that people reading it can verify for themselves that what the article says isn't made up. If there are no inline-citations to verfiy, I can't verify them, can I? Peace, Jahelistbro (talk) 14:35, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- I'm going to reinstate the copy-editing tag. Jahelistbro (talk) 14:39, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lucifer (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FX. 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Emir of Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently removed content from Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Your draft article, Draft:Hassan bin Farhan al-Maliki
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
Hello, Jahelistbro. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hassan bin Farhan al-Maliki".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 23:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, you've apparently contributed some well-written things to Gudea. Perhaps overly harshly, I've recently deleted some well written stuff, that might or might not be yours, due to lack of citations. I called the stuff "glib" in my anger. The writing i deleted might be true, i don't know. To understand my anger, you have to know the Kish article, that used to have well written lies in it. It makes me paranoid that other uncited ancient history pages might be similar. So I apologize if I removed writing that you put a lot of hard work into. Rich (talk) 23:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
