Adib Pishavari

Hi Mhhossein, I've noticed one inaccuracy in the article; the subject's nationality is described as Pakistani in the infobox but Pakistan didn't come into existence until 1947. I might have changed it to British Indian but since there's uncertainty about his birthplace, it might be best to remove that parameter but it's not my field. I also noticed some text was identical to the BBC source, though it's possible the BBC copied from Wikipedia and I'm not inclined to worry about it. Good luck with the article. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
More on the copyright issue; in this diff, you copied the 2015 BBC source almost verbatim; this is called close paraphrasing. Please don't do this again in future as it may lead to your account being blocked. Baffle☿gab 02:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the copyedits. I see no copyvio. Please elaborate on the issue. --Mhhossein talk 05:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

Hi Mhhossein,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 17:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Raydann, thanks for reaching out. I will take a look at the NPR page. --Mhhossein talk 02:49, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of Refresh Bolivia for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Refresh Bolivia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Refresh Bolivia until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

多少 战场 龙 (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you confirm whether my edit was justified.

In the List of converts to Hinduism from Islam article, I removed 4 as they did not had the WP:RS and WP:OR sources. First one: Nargis, in her article I cant see any info regarding her conversion to hinduism in fact opposite "she expressed her wish to be buried following the Islamic rites, Sunil and Sanjay eventually offering the Islamic funeral prayer" in the Personal section.

Another is Khusro Khan, his Religion section explicity states that "Barani's narrative is unreliable, and contradicted by more reliable sources. Khusrau Khan wished to be seen as a normal Muslim monarch, and had the khutba in the mosques read in his name." Hence including him on the list severely violates WP:NPOV and WP:RS and WP:Fringe.

Another case is of two brothers, Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, both articles explicity state that their early life is "unknown and most accounts are based on various speculative theories" the same paragraph that conjecture their religion. So we need stronger and more WP:Reliable sources to make them in the list.

A editor just suddenly reverted my edit without adequate explantion, so can you verify it and correct it. 182.183.11.100 (talk) 21:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. I checked your edits. What you removed apparently had some sources? Are you actually objecting the reliability of the cited sources? Please note that their bio articles on Wikipedia are not reliable sources themselves. --Mhhossein talk 05:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

DYK nomination of Pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in the United States

Hello! Your submission of Pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in the United States at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Boud (talk) 11:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on university campuses in the United States would have made sense to nominate for either DYK or WP:ITN. It was created on 22 April, so it's too old to nominate for DYK. In fact, it has just been nominated at ITN, though it hasn't got much support (see the discussion there for the reasons). Boud (talk) 11:39, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
@Boud: I see. I'm not sure why I did not go with the April article. At the time it was new enough. Maybe it worth consulting @BlueMoonset whether I we can re-open the discussion with the then eligible article. --Mhhossein talk 19:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Mhhossein, if you want to pursue April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on university campuses in the United States as a DYK, the thing to do is to open a new DYK for that article. At the moment, it is eligible for a nomination, because it is at least a 5x expansion over early on April 24. It might not be eligible if you wait any longer. Do not try to reopen a closed review for a different article! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello

In the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses article, under the "Other countries" section, I don't see Iran mentioned. I know that there have been Pro-Palestinian student protests on University of Tehran campus, and both University of Tehran and Shiraz University are offering scholarships to pro-Palestinian student protesters in the United States who have been expelled from their universities. Also both the Iranian foreign ministry and the Iranian parliament voiced their support for Pro-Palestinian student protesters in the United States. I believe all these info should be added in the relevant sections of the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses article. I'm currently under a sanction and therefore cannot update the article for the duration of the sanction. If you have time and is willing to do it, you can do it with relevant references. Thank you so much and regards, Crampcomes (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion for 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to change it.

If you need additional help, check out our getting started page or ask the friendly folks at the Teahouse. 48JCL (talk) 21:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @48JCL, I liked your kind suggestion. But maybe it is worth checking out the users history before tagging them, otherwise you may end up tagging someone with a decade long editing history. --Mhhossein talk 09:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Violence in the Palestinian territories indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 23:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Violence in the Palestinian territories has been nominated for merging. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines.
