Just noticed that it lost GA status back in March. Sorry to hear that. You've put up so much work in that article so I hope that it'll regain its GA status sometime in the future. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Nice to hear from you Vacant0. I am not nearly as active as I used to be since I'm out doing fun things like climbing

I came to see if you were unaware of the principles governing contentious topics articles. As it seems you are, I am quite surprised by this edit. There is a talk page section where the change I made was proposed and is being discussed. You are invited to participate in it, and bring sources to discuss. Tiamut (talk) 22:35, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

In case you are having difficulty finding it, it is at Talk:Palestinians#Ethnonational in the lead - on what basis? Tiamut (talk) 22:37, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I saw the discussion, and as I stated in the edit summary, it doesn't seem that you have consensus for the edit. (t · c) buIdhe 23:37, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

The ethnonational wording was introduced without a discussion. I opened a discussion asking the rationale for its use and when none was provided, after presentinf and reviewing the sources, I changed it. The two editors who were discussing there with me after the change raised questions but did not oppose the change. Only the non-confirmed editor did. As you know they cannot edit such articles. When they made a request to change the wording (without providing any new sources), I declined. Then you came along and reverted my edit citing talk. You did not inform the editor of the contentious topic restrictions either.

If you oppose the change I made, you can participate in the talk section about it. Tiamut (talk) 05:07, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

In your post you stated I would like to change "ethnonational" to "national, thus implying that the former was the stable version. (t · c) buIdhe 18:17, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I have 2 questions about this edit.

• What is the source of the instruction 'only include papers with >100 cites'?
• If that rule is encoded in policy/guidelines/MOS or some kind of documented norm, can the instruction be replaced by a link?

Sean.hoyland (talk) 03:17, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Sean.hoyland if you include every paper he wrote, it would violate WP:NOTCV/WP:INDISCRIMINATE (t · c) buIdhe 03:46, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Right, INDISCRIMINATE, he has written a lot of papers. Thanks. Sean.hoyland (talk) 04:12, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Sam Haselby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Thanks for uploading File:Ninth Fort memorial.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:53, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, per WP:REVEXP, reverts are expected to come with an edit summary specific enough that another editor can identify and fix the actual problem. Deleting 7k+ byte worth of edit i made and just saying "Not a reliable source" doesnt meet that bar, its not saying which source was unreliable, for which claim, or what disqualified it. Could you clarify?

A few points:
Under WP:BURDEN, the responsibility is to justify removal of cited material with a specific policy reason, not just assert unreliability. Rn I have no way to fix what you're objecting to, because idk what it is.

This list already sources several entries to non-English material without any apparent issue, Petro Sahaidachny and Ivan Sirko are cited to Russian/Ukrainian monographs, Suvorov and Ushakov to Russian sources, and Ozdemiroglu Pasha and Selim I partly to Turkish-language works by Feridun Emecen. So if the standard is WP:RS, id like to know specifically what differs between those and mine, rather than a blanket dismissal.

If the actual issue is with one specific citation (for instance, if you felt a news-aggregator-style source didn't meet WP:NEWSORG or WP:SELFSOURCE standards), thats a fair and fixable concern, im glad to swap it for stronger sourcing.

Per WP:AGF, im assuming this was an oversight rather than a targeted removal, and id like to resolve it collaboratively rather than through a revert war. If you dont respond with specifics, ill raise it at WP:RSN for outside input on the sourcing, since a vague revert summary alone isn't a resolution under WP:DR.

Also, The main pages for Osman Pamukoğlu (tr:Osman Pamukoğlu Turkish page for further info) and Tiryaki Hasan Pasha already say the same stuff i placed into the list of undefeated military leaders, i did not make a new claim, i simply added what Wikipedia was already claiming for these men. CharlesTheGrim (talk) 11:13, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

nice job citing policies as an editor without even a talk page. Is this your first account?

Next time try reading and understanding before you write. BURDEN says the opposite of what you claim. So, how can you prove the source has a reputation for fact checking and accuracy? (t · c) buIdhe 12:55, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for answering to none of my points and going ad hominem in your first ever sentence. CharlesTheGrim (talk) 16:32, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of mountaineering fatalities in Washington (state), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A generic name error. References show this error when author or editor name parameters use placeholder names, or the name of the newspaper or organisation, instead of the source's actual author or editor name. If no human author is given, the fields should be removed. (Fix | Ask for help). Below are the references causing this error:

• • News, Tags: In the. "Remembering Mountaineer Timothy Hagan". The Mountaineers. Retrieved 1 August 2026. {{cite news}}: |last1= has generic name (help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 01:34, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
