Self Harm page

Hi there, I'm getting in touch as you've done recent work on the self-harm article. I've done a fair bit of study on this subject recently, so reckon I'm in a position to go through and get a good load of citations in there. What I propose, is moving to using the ref tag to make this easier, and then I'll go through and get citations in, and replace some of the "some people" type areas with referenced viewpoints, trying to get multiple view is where there are opposing views. Obviously this'll involve a bit of rewriting and adding so I wondered if you have any feedback on this before I start. Acidsaturation 07:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Iceland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MMO (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. International Development Finance Corporation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Era style and full stops

MOS:ERA says "BCE and CE or BC and AD are written in upper case, unspaced, without a full stop (period, .), and separated from the numeric year by a space (5 BC, not 5BC).

Hi Zurkhardo. Why did you change the era style of the Sasanian Empire article? It had been BC/AD for years, and I looked through the archives on the article to look if anyone had ever brought up the era style, and no one had. It has been changed back, but I'm just wondering why you changed it, since the established style of the article was most defiantly BC/AD rather than BCE/CE. In fact the only mention of era style that I could find the archives was two users deciding to put AD in the opening paragraph. NDV135 (talk) 21:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenicia article to be cut

You may have seen at Talk:Phoenicia that I'm planning to make major cuts to the article, because it's WP:TOOBIG – over twice the recommended maximum size of a Wikipedia article. I don't mean to be rude, but looking through the page history it seems that's mostly your doing. And I see much the same is also happening at Ancient Carthage. Might I suggest that your enthusiasm for these subjects would be better expressed through increasing quality than quantity? —VeryRarelyStable 08:40, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rape in Islamic law epic discussion

Hi Zurkhardo. A few months ago, an editor (Mcphurphy (talk)) requested me to be a third opinion in a discussion they were having. That discussion and controversy turned out to be a big scholar debate in the talk page of the article Rape in Islamic law. Given that you are member of Wikiprojects in History and Philosophy and you are a Lebanese American humanist, maybe you would like to delve into it. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 01:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reaching out. I am honored at the opportunity and will take part soon! I hope we can all manage to come to an agreement. Zurkhardo (talk) 07:20, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please start adding edit summaries so other editors know what you are doing. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Noted! My apologies. I am doing further edits that will feature more detailed explanations :) @Magnolia677 Zurkhardo (talk) 21:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. Please try to avoid using keyboard dashes and nowikis unless necessary. Try using a – (–) or — (—). Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:32, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With this edit you added:

"New Mexico has nine of the country's 84 national monuments, which are sites federally protected by presidential proclamation; this is the second-highest number of after Arizona. The monuments include two of the five earliest to have been created in 1906 and 1907: El Morro and Gila Cliff Dwellings, both of which preserve the state's ancient indigenous heritage.

New Mexico is one of 20 states with a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and among only eight with more than one. Excluding sites shared between states, New Mexico has the most World Heritage Sites in the country, with three exclusively within its territory."

Andres Manuel Labrada moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Andres Manuel Labrada, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:09, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Check behind me?

Hello. It looks like you've contributed quite a bit to the New Mexico article. I've done some recent edits on it, and would appreciate it if you could check behind me. I left a note on the article's Talk page, but i'm copying it below in case no one's watching the NM page:

Hey folks ... NM native and Wikipedia newbie here. For anyone watching this page, please see the "Other" item that I added at the end of the article. I think it's relevant albeit amusing, but I'm open to discussing it. The geographic ignorance of NM isn't all that common these days, but I think it happens often enough to merit a mention. Thanks. Yesthatbruce (talk) 04:04, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be my honor. It's great to meet a NM native given my (obvious) fascination with the state. I'll certainly keep on top of it! Zurkhardo (talk) 16:55, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
