Your request for rollback

Hi Mehran. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 21:58, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Salvio ●Mehran ^Debate● 03:39, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

refToolbar

I think I got it all fixed up for you. To test it, you can add

importScript('مدیاویکی:Gadget-refToolbar.js');

to your vector.js file.

To enable the gadget on the Persian Wikipedia, add

* refToolbar|refToolbar.js

to http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition

Let me know if you have any problems with it. Cheers! Kaldari (talk) 05:52, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately no changes was happened, it's still insert the template code and no boxes shows. Were you able to see this box in fawiki when you tested it? ●Mehran ^Debate● 19:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it all works correctly for me. There are some minor right-to-left issues in the dialog boxes, but it's usable. Did you clear your browser cache? What browser are you using? Do you have any other gadgets turned on that could be interfering? Kaldari (talk) 20:58, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it had a conflict with another gadget. It seems it works correctly now and just needs a little more translations and some minor changes. I will inform you if there were any other relating problems. I appreciate your help and wish to make amends. ●Mehran ^Debate● 19:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Glad to hear it is working for you! By the way, you may also need to make sure that the refToolbar config settings match the citation templates that are being used on the Persian Wikipedia. Some wikis have totally different citation templates with different parameters. Cheers! Kaldari (talk) 01:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to do me a favor in return, can you add the Persian spelling of 'Zan' to the article Zan (newspaper)? Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 04:56, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course ;) ●Mehran ^Debate● 16:01, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 20:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

hi mehran,

I hope you are well. I have heard that you have proposed for the Amin Collection factual article to be deleted. I am slightly confused on why this is the case and I was wondering whether you could explain why? I can verify any factual evidence you need.

I hope to hear from you soon,

CSD declined - Bakhtiari Rug

Hi Mehran. You palaced a {{db-copyvio}} template on the page Bakhtiari Rug claiming that the text there was copied from this page. I have checked the two pages (via Duplication detector and manually), and I'm afraid I cannot see any clear resemblence between them; I have therefore declined the speedy deletion request.

Ahmad Khonsari

I was just curious, before I spend time on the citations at the Ahmad Khonsari article, I was wondering why you prodded it? I do note that a little more has been added since you did so. Anyway, you may answer here in your talk space, if that is convenient. Thanks. --Bejnar (talk) 17:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had prodded this version of the article, I really do not see anything on that version which makes him notable! Of course the references are reliable enough, but it doesn't contain any issues which can make him notable. Best wishes ●Mehran ^Debate● 18:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In general I agree that something other than status is needed for notability, but we've seemed to have lost that argument to consensus that bishops, generals and grand ayatollahs are inherently notable. I assume, though few express it, that they mean that in order to get to that position they have to have done something, even if we don't know what it was. I am reminded of the Gilbert and Sullivan song When I Was A Lad (Ruler of the Queen's Navy). --Bejnar (talk) 22:03, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with you. "Ayatollah" is a title like "Professor", they both should pass some courses to get their title, professor in scientific fields and ayatollah in Islamic fields. But we have WP:CREATIVE and WP:PROF for the professors and can not say that all the professors are notable because they have to do something to get to their position. May you please show me a guideline which says Ayatollahs are notable? Then I'll agree with you! :) ●Mehran ^Debate● 05:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Manoto 1, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GEM TV (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

New Page Patrolling

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. Please take a note of the outcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Government Secondary School, North Bank. Do take a moment to read WP:NPP and WP:DELETION, and if you need any help or advice don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy patrolling! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:46, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kudpung, Thanks for your attention. I agree with the outcome, but as a matter of fact I think the article is really in conflict with WP:ORG as I explained in the AfD page. I know the users wanted "Keep" by reason of an essay which is conflict with a guideline. Personally I believe that we should not write our comments according to the others' comments, but we should do that under the WP policies and guidelines. Best wishes :) ●Mehran ^Debate● 06:25, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kiwix campaign

Hi, Mehran.

How about Kiwix visits since the campaign of Wikipedia in Spanish started?

Regards, and happy new year. --invadinado _{(TALK - SUL)} 12:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Invadinado, happy new year too

First of all I should appreciate you and the Spanish community about supporting this idea. Luckily there is an unbelievable growing in the Kiwix visits in recent three days. We had approximately 2000 page visits per day before adding the notice in Spanish Wikipedia, but since adding the Spanish notice, this number has been increased to 18000 page visits per day which is really incredible. And more amazing thing is that this number is raising day by day and I guess it will get to 30000 page visits or maybe more. FYI, most of the visits (in order of the visits number) are from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, USA, Peru and Venezuela. It means that the main current visitors of Kiwix come from Spanish Wikipedia and it likes that the website has been reborn.

I'll be glad if you reflex this data to the Spanish Wikipedia (if there is a discussion about it in current), and tell me everything that you think will help to the project.

Thank you again and best wishes ●Mehran ^Debate● 15:50, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
