Hello, KiltedKangaroo. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Egypt–Oman relations, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:11, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Russia–Syria relations, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for 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) 06:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I just saw this article you have created and I'm confused to what events you're writing about. The title says its 2023–present but the content is mostly background information from the years before. You also titled it as "political crisis".

The current crisis, which is not just political, didn't start in 2023 but rather in 2019 (even that is probably inaccurate since we have been having troubles since the 70s). What I propose is changing the title to "Lebanese political crisis (2019–present)" which would include the banking crisis, currency crisis, electricity crisis, medical crisis, refugee crisis etc. which would better represent the issues that have been happening. You also spoke about Hezbollah in great detail even going way before 2023 but there are other actors involved. But good work anyways, I can tell it took you a while.

Hello @Prodrummer619,I really appreciate your feedback, comments, and the compliments! It honestly took me a fair bit of time to pull it all together, so thanks for noticing. Based on your suggestions, I'm thinking of adding sections on the banking crisis, currency crisis, electricity crisis, medical crisis, and refugee crisis. Do you reckon there’s anything else I should include? Also, if you’ve got any solid sources that could help me out, I'd love to hear them. And by the way, are there any articles you reckon should be linked to this one? Thank you! KiltedKangaroo (talk) 07:42, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

@KiltedKangaroo Yes all of that is great! I can help with the linking

Some sources: I also recommend perplexity.ai. Give it a prompt and it will give you plenty of online resources

Thanks for the references in Iranian underground missile bases, I just wanted to explain my initial revert. The article has been targeted for a couple of years by editors wanting to add entries to that table using nothing other than something looking suspicious on Google maps, or other questionable sources. I spent sometime last year looking for other sources with out much sucess. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 12:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying - you were absolutely right (not that you needed my confirmation). I hadn't realised the article's background, so that context is really helpful. When I first adjusted the table I intended to add citations, but something else drew my attention and I only just returned to it. In any case, I really appreciate the explanation, hope we cross paths again some day. Cheers! KiltedKangaroo (talk) 13:07, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Qassem Bassir, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2024 Iranian strikes against Israel. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

I think you are currently deleting a lot of work of other editors without introducing a debate in any talk page.

Regarding some of the removals that you did there is a debate in the talk page. You are welcome to contribute.

Note that if a content is reverted by the authors after a deletion I think that this can't be deleted again. Please introduce a debate instead. AyubuZimbale (talk) 17:56, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Newslinger. An edit that you recently made to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Destruction of Israel in Iranian policy seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This also applies to discussions on talk and project pages. Please do not post LLM-generated comments, especially without proper disclosure. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 14:19, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah. I apologise, I didn't realise there were rules around using AI for the edits. I mainly used it to put together the table. Thanks for your comment. Cheers! KiltedKangaroo (talk) 07:14, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Iran transition government 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/Iran transition government 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.

@Asilvering What is this about? KiltedKangaroo (talk) 08:15, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

@Asilvering Will you please explain what's going on? KiltedKangaroo (talk) 08:13, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for not responding to your earlier ping! The explanation is as in the block notice: Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. I'm confident in the block, but if you would like to dispute it, it would be helpful for you to explain your technical circumstances. For example, what devices+browsers you use to edit wikipedia and where, any proxies you use, any browser extensions or scripts that may be causing your logs to look particularly suspicious, etc. Some people are confident posting this publicly, but if you aren't, you're welcome to email the details to me, in which case they would only be shared with people with checkuser (or higher) access. -- asilvering (talk) 19:28, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
