Sarah Hegazi[edit]

Hi, this is to let you know that the arabic version of the article was nominated for deletion and was deleted for lack of notability. I am working on expanding the article here to come back with a bang on ar.wiki. I would like to thank you for your engagement and edits and hope you can still take the time to improve the article. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 08:33, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ~ Elias Z., I've been following what's happened to the Arabic language page - Majd Al-shihabi ( مجد الشهابي ) has been addressing it on Twitter. Unfortunately I couldn't get involved in the deletion discussion because I've never edited Arabic wiki. It's my understanding that the calls for deletion are largely based on homophobic sentiment masquerading as 'objectivity'. I will definitely be continuing to work on the page -there is a clear public interest in her life, and it is vital that Wikipedia represents people who are (evidently) being erased. Thank you also for your work, feel free to get in touch whenever.Boredintheevening (talk) 10:16, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How may I contact you, I need paraphrasing advice? ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 06:24, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ~ Elias Z. , I've enabled the email feature so you should be able to get in touch through that? I feel that the edits that C.S has been making recently continue to undermine the issue. Hope I can help with phrasing. Boredintheevening (talk) 19:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dilar Dirik[edit]

Do you or don't you want to nominate Dilar Dirik for deletion?

I ask because (i) despite an edit summary reading "AfD: Nominated for deletion; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dilar_Dirik", you haven't created this AfD discussion; and (ii) you have instead continued to edit the article.

Please hurry either to create the AfD discussion or to remove the template pointing to this. -- Hoary (talk) 08:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nudging on this and keeping standards up. Did it all in a rush and should have followed procedure better. It was all resolved earlier today. Have a good weekend!Boredintheevening (talk) 20:41, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it was deleted, to the delight/relief of all involved. Which is rather unusual for an AfD. The weather forecast's good so I think I'll spend Sunday away from my computer; I hope that you can do the same (unless of course you enjoy being glued to yours rather more than I do to mine). -- Hoary (talk) 07:57, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Anarchism checking in[edit]

Hey there! I noticed you have identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Anarchism in your user page, but you don't appear to have been very active in this subject area for some time. Just in case you're still interested, here's a little update:

In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you want to get more involved in the project, please feel free! We always need an extra pair of hands to help out with our ever-growing project. If you want to help out with one of the above efforts, go right ahead. If you want to keep more up to date with the project's activities, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. On the other hand, if you think you're time with the project is over, then consider removing the userbox from your user page, but we do hope you're still interested in our wee project.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, --Grnrchst (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
