Persistent unconstructive page moves

edit

I don't know why you keep moving the page you have created about Ahmed Isse Awad to inappropriate namespaces, but please stop. If you don't have enough understanding of Wikipedia's namespaces to know what kind of pages should have, for example, "Wikipedia" or "Help" prefixed to their titles, then don't prefix such namespace indicators to titles of pages. However, the fact that you have repeatedly moved the page with the edit summary "Fix grammar", despite the fact that what you were doing could not possibly have been thought to be correcting grammar, must cast doubt on whether the moves have been done in good faith, and if you persist then it will be difficult to view what you are doing as anything other than vandalism.

Speedy deletion nomination of Reactions to the 2023 Turkish presidential election

edit

Hello QalasQalas,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Reactions to the 2023 Turkish presidential election for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Reactions to the 2023 Turkish presidential election to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Reactions to the 2023 Turkish presidential election

edit

Hello. I have moved Draft:Reactions to the 2023 Turkish presidential election back to the mainspace. This is not because I accepted the draft as a reviewer, but because there was a deletion discussion happening at the time. Please do not move articles to draft when an AfD discussion is ongoing, as it can be seen as trying to evade the discussion and may cause confusion (as it did now). Thanks. ~StyyxTalk? 14:36, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

There’s not a mistake with the article per se, so much as it’s simply not notable enough to exist as a standalone article. The Kip (talk) 17:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Placing AfC acceptance notices on your talk page yourself

edit

Hi QalasQalas, I reverted your edit to your to your talk page which added an AfC acceptance notice for a draft you created and moved to mainspace as it gives a false impression (see WP:TPNO), even if that is not your intent. AfC acceptance notices should only be used by AfC reviewers (usually done automatically by the AfC script) and only for drafts that are accepted via the AfC process. Your User page is a great place to document the articles you have created or any other contributions, though. S0091 (talk) 18:48, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Warning

edit

  Stop posting fake AfC acceptance notices on your talk page as it gives a false impression. Also note any experienced editor can tell the notice is false because it is missing crucial information a legitimate acceptance contains. Pinging @JBW: to get a second opinion from an administrator in case I am wrong. JBW please see here (thought they were just playing around so ignored), here which I reverted and left User talk:QalasQalas#Placing AfC acceptance notices on your talk page yourself a couple sections above, the one immediately above which makes it look like Ipigott left but that does not appear to the case per this, and just now this one which I reverted, thus this warning. Granted this not the worse thing someone can do but to me it is deceptive and falls afoul of WP:TPNO.

QalasQalas I think you are a promising new editor but please explain why you doing this. S0091 (talk) 20:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Only I submitted an article but i don't know what happened may be i think make a mistake. Thanks for understanding QalasQalas (talk) 20:30, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
QalasQalas, thanks for the response but it is clear from the diffs I linked above, you are adding these acceptances notices to your talk page. They are your edits. Please understand everything one does here is recorded. For example here is all of your contributions (even more detail here) . The same is true for my contributions or any other editor (there are exceptions but not pertinent in this instance). I need you to confirm you will stop introducing false information to your talk page (or anywhere else for that matter). S0091 (talk) 20:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
QalasQalas, at first what you were doing looked like just posting AfC acceptance notices to yourself about articles you had created yourself, without realising that doing so might be misleading. However, after S0091 had warned you about doing so, you continued to do it. You have also at posted AfC acceptance notices about pages which you did not create and which were not created through the AfC process, including one which you have never even edited, let alone created, and which had already been in existence for almost fifteen years before you even created your account. You think you may have made a mistake? Well, any possibility of giving the benefit of the doubt, and believing that you that you have somehow made the same rather strange mistake over and over again, is reduced by past evidence of your intentions, such as posting edit summaries which misrepresent what you are doing, as I have pointed out to you before. You are not going to get a warning about every possible unconstructive editing practice that you might use: if you keep on editing in disruptive or unhelpful ways then sooner or later you will be blocked from editing. And it doesn't make a lot of difference whether you are making mistake after mistake, suggesting a lack of competence, or whether you know full well what you are doing, suggesting dishonesty: either way is likely to lead to the same result. JBW (talk) 21:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hey man, I'm professional and yet it's not my fault. When I move the page, the error happens unintentionally. I don't know whether it's a technical error or something else. QalasQalas (talk) 21:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK, so let's look at one of these occasions where you moved a page, and completely by mistake, not your fault, it resulted in one of these phony messages being posted to this page. This edit took place at 16:43 (GMT) on 1st August 2023. The last time you moved a page was at 18:29 on the 27th July 2023. So it took a little less than five days for this technical error to take effect. And it's a kind of technical error that I have never come across before, in my 17 years as a Wikipedia editor, including 13 years as an administrator. And it keeps on happening to you, over and over again, and not to anyone else. And a pig just flew past my window. You may find it helpful to read Law of holes. And please understand that the warnings I am giving you here are posted to try to help you to avoid being blocked from editing. JBW (talk) 21:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

QalasQalas, this is a silly hill to die on but if you insist you are not adding these acceptance notices, which honestly stretches WP:AGF into WP:AGF is not a suicide pact, then if this weird anomaly occurs again you need to remove the acceptance notice from your talk page given it is an error and report it to WP:VPT so the tech folks can determine the cause and remedy the issue.

Hi, since you've added yourself to the list of available translators, could you take a look at this question at WP:RSN? Khaled Mashal gave an interview to an Egyptian TV channel and it seems like some sources misrepresented his words, so could you verify what he actually said.

Leticia "Letty" Ortiz-Toretto moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Leticia "Letty" Ortiz-Toretto, is not suitable as written to remain published. In order to establish notability, additional real-world, behind-the-scenes information as well as commentary from secondary sources must be added. 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, rather than unilaterally moving it to the mainspace. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

QalasQalas, I notice you are slowly expanding the draft. Do you understand what I wrote above? In order for the character to be considered notable to warrant a standalone article, there must be a significant number of reliable, secondary sources that discuss real-world details about her, for example about how the writers developed her character, how the actress approached the character, praise and criticism of her portrayal, analysis of her personality, etc. Everything must be attributed to a reliable source. Avoid WP:FANCRUFT and WP:TRIVIA — that is, information that would only interest a particular audience, in this case fans of the character/franchise. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:26, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry for your misunderstand me, but sure. I'll add it all citations; Primary and Secondary reliable. QalasQalas (talk) 06:32, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Nasra Ali Abukar

edit
 

The article Nasra Ali Abukar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:BLP1E we shouldn't have an article for Ali Abukar. She is known for a single event and is otherwise a "low-profile individual".

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. gobonobo + c 15:33, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Nasra Ali Abukar for deletion

edit
 
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nasra Ali Abukar 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/Nasra Ali Abukar 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.

Deletion discussion about Marmara Park

edit

Hello QalasQalas, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Marmara Park, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marmara Park.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi QalasQalas, I've removed some copyright text from Draft:Haji Muse Boqor Osman that appears to have been taken from "Who Assassinated the Somali President in October 1969? The Cold War, the Clan Connection, or the Coup d'État" (Mohamed Haji Ingiriis, 2017). It was four paragraphs, starting from "While preparations for burial were underway" and ending with "get Boqor elected to the presidential post." Please note that copyright text like that isn't allowed anywhere on Wikipedia, even in drafts or personal sandboxes. If you want a place to store snippets of sources while creating an article, a Google Doc or Microsoft Word might be more helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Hi, i am a new editor and i've been trying to work on updating the page Islam in Australia. It has historically been a page abused by Islamaphobes and used to collect negative sentiment against Muslims.

Please stop making categories with just one page in them. It's not helpful for navigation. SMasonGarrison 03:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I translated from WP Arabic and btw it's not one page WP:CATCLASS, there are many Somali scholars that I want to translats from Wiki Arabic. Thanks QalasQalas (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
You should post this in the discussion. However, I only see one category member on this wikipedia. You've linked to a definition, not a policy. You really need to review the actual categorization policies. Please stop making categories with only a single page in them. SMasonGarrison 22:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sources in Turkish

edit

Greetings, I was wondering if you could translate this source, so that I can use it for Mount Okmok. Or at least tell me whether this tool translates it correctly, without doing things like turning a "yes" statement into a "no" statement. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:53, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jo-Jo Eumerus, Thanks for letting me try to translate but when I got free time, I was busy translating and publishing more articles on my draft lists. QalasQalas (talk) 15:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wow, this tool is great and translating accurate but the only negative I can see is translating directly so my rating is (10/7), Turkish is agglutinative unlike English analytic, if you are amateur in Turkish Grammarly you can use this app which greatly in vocabulary and you exactly understand what translating, (Don't forget Experience). Thanks QalasQalas (talk) 15:37, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, I belong to a different language region and have no idea of Turkish. What does "translating directly" mean? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:03, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jo-Jo Eumerus It means text from word-for-word, preserving the exact structure and meaning of the original text as much as possible. It also disregards context, which can lead to awkward or inaccurate translations.  E.g, just example not true
- Original (Turkish): ".Karımdan boşandım"
- Direct Translation (English): "I opened my wife/Karımı açtım (tr)"
- Contextual Translation: "I divorced my wife." QalasQalas (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmm. That example might be unproblematic (from context, one can infer that "opening" doesn't mean surgery or murder), but I wonder if there are other translations where it could become a problem. Ah ... maybe I'll ask if I run into a particularly questionable item. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:41, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jo-Jo Eumerus don't be afraid try it just experience and avoid contradictions and puzzle words, thanks QalasQalas (talk) 16:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
