Hakuna Matata baby

Dear Guardian of Good Music,

The last four words were your edit about two years ago: "Hakuna matata" is a Swahili phrase; roughly translated, it means "no worries".

Thank-you for rearanging the words from the wikipedia page of Hakuna Matata to reference the song from the Lion King, and for having a sharp ear for quality music.

I'm not a robot btw. Writing formal messages is weird to me. Hakuna matata, jam on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.77.196.100 (talk) 11:38, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Seyed Mohammad Hosseini(showman) page

Hi There,

I am writing to you regarding last update we are trying to put on Seyed Mohammad Hosseini. I am part of seyed Mohammad Hoseini team who is leading opposition for IRAN. all I wrote on his page it was by his approval and all writing items been actually written by him. because of all of the political situation, this user is the only user should update this page.

Please let me know if you need any proof we can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iranmiga (talk • contribs) 19:43, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Eman235,

Please help us to add this edit. this is crucial for us to add this,

Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iranmiga (talk • contribs) 01:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,

Wikipedia isn't for campaigning. We expect articles to be written from a neutral point of view, without political campaigning or opinion. It's also important that users avoid a conflict of interest, so if you are part of Seyed Mohammad Hosseini's campaign team, then editing that article is discouraged.

Additionally, InfoWars is considered a very questionable source around here. Wikipedia is no place to be linking to their interviews.

Request for suggestions

Hi, Eman235! Thanks for your support :-) .

According to your advice, a page at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiDerivations has been created.
Facing certain issues, however. I didn't/couldn't (the reason is mentioned below) follow the mentioned route:

1. Create an account and a user page on this wiki, so people can address questions to you.
2. Create a page describing your plan: enter the project name in the box below and click the button.
3. Link to your proposal from this page, below.
4. Advertise your project! Good places to do so are on the Wikimedia Forum and the wikimedia-l mailing-list.

I first proposed a project, went on with it and created the project. The link is given.
I would've liked to create an account, but since it is a global account, I was afraid it might remove my Wikipedia User and Talk pages. So I haven't created an account and a talk page in wikimedia.
Since I didn't create an account, I can't follow the next steps after I created a project proposal page. Following the direction given:

1. Link my proposal to the List.
2. Advertise my project.

On these I therefore would like to learn. Seek help to learn.
I found that at your suggested page, if I posted a link to the Section, New Projects, it creates a link with a phrase Special:MyLanguage inserted between https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ and /WikiDerivations, whereas my link is straightforward: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiDerivations
How to seek help in https://meta.wikimedia.org ? I am presently reading the Help links.
Is the page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_Forum itself the HELP FORUM?
Posted my query on the Wikimedia Help Forum at Request_for_suggestions
Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 09:09, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

I think you're fine on the account thing, since you already have a global account. I'm not too familiar with the project proposal process, though, so asking on the Meta help forum was a good idea. Eman235/talk 18:37, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. My Username in Wikimedia at the top of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiDerivations is in Red. Also, hovering the mouse cursor over my username says: Your user page (page does not exist)[.]I have posted this issue on the Help Forum too. So, assuming that you have many important tasks at hand, I should close this conversation.
Thanks once again for your support. Regards,
Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 01:46, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

You do have an account on Meta, but not a user page—I would suggest creating meta:User:Bkpsusmitaa with the content {{softredirect|w:User:Bkpsusmitaa}} so you don't have to maintain a separate page. Eman235/talk 02:15, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank You. I shall search how to use the tool softredirect and apply it subsequently. thanks once again for your continued support. Regards,
Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 02:25, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Yes, have read the pages, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Soft_redirect, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Redirect, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Redirect#Soft_redirects and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Soft_redirect.
Subsequently, used the two templates, {{softredirect|w:User:Bkpsusmitaa}} and {{softredirect|w:User_talk:Bkpsusmitaa}} and linked the respective global en.wikipedia pages with the corresponding wikimedia pages. Thank You for your continued support. I learnt a great deal from our interactions.

Adding Images

Hey Eman235, I actually don't know how to properly add them. I'm sort of new here. And I'm used to adding images on FANDOM wikis. But here, I'm so lost. I don't know how to properly add new images.

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MegaMan55Cover.jpg (I don't know how to properly fix this image I just added.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdeaFan128 (talk • contribs) 06:03, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi IdeaFan128. I suppose the FANDOM upload form you're talking about is something like what's displayed here? Wikipedia doesn't have anything like that as far as I know—just Special:Upload and the easier-to-use File Upload Wizard.

The file you linked to, commons:File:MegaMan55Cover.jpg, was deleted because you uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons. Commons policy only allows freely licensed media. You can upload a nonfree image (e.g., boxart) to Wikipedia, though, using the File Upload Wizard as I said before.

Generally, it's encouraged to use low-resolution versions of cover art. (Don't sweat this too much; if the image is too big, a bot will come along to shrink it.)

By the way, please sign your comments by writing four tildes (~~~~) after your message. Also, talk page messages usually go at the bottom of the page—I've moved this thread for you. Eman235/talk 21:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

The problem is that the site never opens. It just keeps redirecting back to the same page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard&withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdeaFan128 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Huh. Maybe it's a problem with the mobile site—have you tried the desktop version? Alternatively, you could try the simpler form Special:Upload. Eman235/talk 21:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

So, like this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ThomasandFriendsTheAdventureBeginsCover.jpg#mw-jump-to-license — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdeaFan128 (talk • contribs) 02:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

IdeaFan128: That looks pretty much fine. I've added a license template for you. Eman235/talk 05:21, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Just for clarification, is this the right way again? Ive been meaning to add this picture for some time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ArchieMegaManCover.jpg# for this article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_(Archie_Comics) — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdeaFan128 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to May 4. I looked for a source for this date of birth in Andrew Denton that I could add to the DOY page and it was unsupported by any source there either.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. They've had pending changes restrictions placed on them to prevent stuff like this getting in. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 02:39, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Ach! Thank you. My habit has been just to glance at the linked article to see if it says the same thing—I'll be more careful in the future. Eman235/talk 02:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Pokemon gen 3

Eman235 When you reverted all that i wrote, you said it was poorly punctuated and it did not belong there. What do you mean by that? I am pretty skilled in Pokemon knowledge. Can you explain please? Porygon-Z 12:03, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Porygon-Z474, sorry for the somewhat brusque edit summary. By "poorly punctuated", I was referring to passages like "look at it's tail" (should be "its"), but that is not the main reason I reverted. As far as I can tell, that column is for items like "The design of Whiscash was inspired by the mythological Namazu, a giant catfish said to cause earthquakes", or "Various critics consider Luvdisc among the most "useless" and "lazily designed" Pokémon"—not Pokédex-style blurbs. (I could be wrong about this, being generally unfamiliar with Wikipedia's articles on Pokémon, but it seems more encyclopedic to me.)

By the way, are you aware that a dedicated Pokémon wiki exists, at bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net? Eman235/talk 19:34, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

I take the Pokedex info, reword it a bit (due to fear of copyright) and put it in Wikipedia. I get why you did that now, but what if Bulbapedia (which i do know of) isn't available. I'm sure someone wants to know a little bit about Pokemon and not just polls and origins. While that is good info, it looks bare. There are massive blanks that need to be filled in. Facts are needed, and if you look at other generations,I have also filled in spaces and people seem to accept it. Sure there might be mistakes but that's why I have the community to fix it. Porygon-Z 11:56, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Porygon-Z474: good question about schools blocking Bulbapedia. I'd hesitantly reply "that's not our problem"; Wikipedia and Bulbapedia both are meant to provide information within their scope, to anyone who can access it, and nothing more. The article has had the hatnote at the top that reads "This article only covers the basics of Pokémon species. For detailed in-universe information, please refer to dedicated wikis on the subject." since it was created, which to me sounds like it discourages Pokédex-style descriptions. If you'd like to get a few other editor's opinions on this, you might start a request for comment at the WikiProject Pokémon talk page.

As for blank fields in the table, that's fairly common for "notes" columns (for example in Roald Dahl bibliography#Scripts). Some table entries may just not need notes.

By the way, per this guideline, your signature should at least have a link to your talk page in it. Eman235/talk 20:01, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Well OK then but then what good is this if it doesnt have info on 3/4 of the pokemon. It should have something. And how do I make my talk page good let alone have a link to it? Is Bulbapedia owned by Wikipedia, too? Bulbapedia is filled with "unknown errors" when you wanna edit something. Porygon-Z 20:27, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

WP:SIG should help. Basically, you just go to Special:Preferences, scroll down to the "Signature" section, check the "Treat the above as wiki markup" button, and enter something like [[User:Porygon-Z474|Porygon-Z]] ([[User talk:Porygon-Z474|talk]]), which would look like Porygon-Z (talk). (Don't forget to hit "save".)

As for the list, it does have quite a bit of information: the Japanese name, Pokédex number, type, evolutions, and first game appearance. It occurs to me that better information to add to the notes column than Pokédex-style flavor text would be basic physical descriptions and the origin of its name, like Charmander is a bipedal, salamander-like creature with a flame at the tip of its tail. Its English name is a portmanteau of "char" and "salamander" (from List of generation I Pokémon).

Bulbapedia isn't owned be Wikipedia (or the Wikimedia Foundation, rather); the reason the software is so similar is because they both run MediaWiki, which was originally developed for Wikipedia, but has since become common on many unaffiliated wikis. I don't know anything about Bulbapedia errors; you might want to report that here. Eman235/talk 22:25, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

I unchecked the box because it was already checked. As for pokemon, That's kinda what I do. I take Pokedex entries and merge then with Facts about their whereabouts and attributes. By the way have you ever taken a look at the notes of the list at the bottom? Porygon-Z (talk) 00:03, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Porygon-Z474, like these, or something else? (And what about them?) Eman235/talk 22:07, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes,some of them say like this tell you that they got the info on the Pokedex. So it is kinda based of of the Pokedex in a way. I guess they do allow Pokedex entries. Huh. Porygon-Z (talk) 01:29, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Porygon-Z474, ah, I see. There is a difference, though, between "Pokémon names, National Pokédex numbers, types, and evolutions" and the blurb / flavor text in the Pokédex entries. Eman235/talk 02:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, it's still from the Pokedex nonetheless. Even though it does need some flavor in the text. It needs life to this empty list. And why not give more info. Porygon-Z (talk) 11:54, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, I'm no arbiter—I think you or I should start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon (probably an RFC, since that page doesn't seem too active) about this. Eman235/talk 19:37, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I think I'd like that. Porygon-Z (talk) 11:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

After reading the RfC page properly, I decided go for a third opinion, which should work fine. Eman235/talk 03:40, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Alright, although I don't know how to do one. So I don't exactly know how to do this...I think. Porygon-Z (talk) 13:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Third Opinion comment

A Third Opinion has been requested. What is the question? Robert McClenon (talk) 03:55, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Robert McClenon: we (Porygon-Z474 and I) were discussing the scope of the "Notes" column in this table (and similar tables in other articles named "List of generation [something] Pokémon"). Basically: should flavor text-like entries be allowed (e.g., It is interested in everything or Just put a potted flower outside and you'll see a Beautifly since its favorite food is nectar), or should the column be restricted to commentary from critics (e.g., Various critics consider Luvdisc among the most "useless" and "lazily designed" Pokémon), design or name origins (e.g., Design inspired by the Japanese mythological creature Tengu), and physical descriptions (e.g., from this article: Charmander is a bipedal, salamander-like creature with a flame at the tip of its tail.)? Eman235/talk 04:56, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

In my opinion, the key to what may be included in the Notes column is whether it has been reported by a reliable source, with "reliable" taking into account the trivial nature of the subject matter. If a commentator has said it, it can be included. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:56, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

But isn't the pokedex kinda reliable? People wanna know more than polls and tolls, right? Porygon-Z (talk) 13:16, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

If not involved in other editing work, could you have a look at this article please?

Good morning.
We haven't talked for some time. My well wishes were always with you as I returned to our chat often.
How is your editing work progressing? Hope you are well and at peace.
Could you have a look at this draft: User:Bkpsusmitaa/Violent_verses_of_the_Quran
? If you are willing to check the article, I would submit it for review.
Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 03:54, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Bkpsusmitaa. I've been doing well, thank you.

I read your draft, and it seems more like an essay than an encyclopedia article to me—see WP:NOTESSAY. (Have you considered getting a blog?)

Also, the (apparently intentional?) sparse references would set it apart from just about every other Wikipedia article, which in general are referenced in accordance with Wikipedia:Verifiability.

You could still submit it for review, of course, if you want a second opinion. Eman235/talk 23:48, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much for quickly replying to my query, Sir, Eman235! I won't presently be submitting the draft. Your opinion is fair enough for me.

Thank you once again for your advice.

(Postscript) What if I only have the selective verses listed? As primary evidence?

Bkpsusmitaa (talk) 02:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the OTRS mention [1]. I'm kicking myself for not having done so myself. Meters (talk) 18:38, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
