Hi thanks for creating this article. Is it partly a translation from Russian Wikipedia? Mccapra (talk) 21:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. There is no such article there. Why? Alaexis¿question? 21:59, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ok thanks. I ask because if there is such an article I should link to it, and for copyright attribution there should be a record that material was drawn from that page. But if it’s a completely fresh creation none of that applies. Thanks for confirming. Mccapra (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NEDA Infobox

Hi! I was trying to update the infobox for the National Eating Disorders Association article.

I am super new at this, but the citation in the infobox is some kind of code and I can't figure out how to put the reference I want to add for it.

Do you know how to do that? 68.175.80.14 (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I am considering writing a draft for the Russian state from 1478 to 1547.

Grand Duchy of Moscow article puts the end date at 1547 though this fails to account for the centralized state formed under Ivan III and does not even have a section on Vasili III (1505–1533) or Ivan IV (1533–1547). Just a brief mention about Ivan IV being crowned tsar. I have found a lot of good sources that mention the formation of a new, centralized state under Ivan III, after the annexation of Novgorod. Hence the article titles Ivan III of Russia and Vasili III of Russia but we only have the Muscovy article. There is ru:Русское государство but this covers up to 1721 and I do not want to write an article that duplicates Tsardom of Russia. It could be an option to expand Tsardom of Russia to include from 1478 but this would probably require a RM first and I do not imagine there will be enough support or even interest to expand the existing article. So at the moment I am thinking about a new article focused on the aspect of history from 1478 to 1547. What are your thoughts? Thanks. Mellk (talk) 12:07, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

There is actually a 300-year old gap in Russian history articles as
Kievan Rus ends with the Mongols and Tsardom of Russia
starts at 1547. This gap is bridged by articles about individual states like Great Duchy of Lithuania, Muscovy and Novgorod but I think that Wikipedia would benefit from having an overview article (what Riazanovsky called Appanage Russia).
The article about the 1478-1547 period that you propose would cover a significant part of the gap and therefore I think it's a great idea. I'd be happy to help as much as I can. Not sure about the starting date - it feels more natural to start at the beginning of Ivan III's reign but if you found sources that consider 1478 to be the pivot year that's fine too. Of course all periodisation is arbitrary to a certain extent. Alaexis¿question? 20:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good point, I think it would also be good to have an article that serves as an overview of the period after Kievan Rus since it is just scattered across articles about principalities. Maybe something like History of Russia (1721–1796) since we only have Timeline of Russian history covering before 1721. Anyway, I will start working on a draft for the centralized state in the meantime. For now, I will use 1478 but we can examine sources later to determine whether 1478 is appropriate or a different start date should be used. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 12:05, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's already very good! What you should do next is add wikilinks and section headers. E.g., you mention general Berthier who already has an article, so the first time you write about him you should wikilink him.

The number of articles is not a problem in itself if you can demonstrate that their author has consistently misrepresented sources or used blatantly unreliable ones. You should make sure your
WP:AFD
case is strong because the articles look legit with all the references.
You may want to prepare a draft in your own user-space and then I can review it. I haven't reviewed all these articles and for now I have no opinion regarding these articles.
If you think that these articles' authors acted in good faith it's a common courtesy to notify them of your concerns, possibly they'd be able to rectify the issues you've identified. Alaexis¿question? 20:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alaexis again. I forgot to mention this article Battle of Ushkudzhe that seems to actually have some ground to exist as an article as the primary sources mention such region as Ushkudzhe (localized by some in Akusha, Dagestan), but I'm thinking of renaming this article to simply "Uskudzhe" and have all the information related to it be there. Imo, we don't need these articles about battles when we have little information about them. What do you think? Best regards, WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 18:53, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we've got a policy for that. If it's just mentioned briefly in some primary sources and there are no reliable secondary sources which analyse it then it shouldn't exist as a separate article. Alaexis¿question? 20:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I will try to make something out of that if I have time. Could you please rollback the recent vandalism in Simsim and Mongol invasions of Durdzuketi (I'm not sure how to do it myself)?

Battle of Achadara and related articles

I've just come across two articles by

blatant and obvious (and I don't have the book to verify). I do agree with the concerns, though, and think that you should definitely file an AFD since it's quite possible that the articles were machine-generated. Looking at the user's edit timeline, some articles appear to be written in as little as 10 minutes. Now maybe I'm just dumb, but I know I cannot possibly write an article that quickly. If some of the articles can be confirmed at AFD to contain hoaxes or other misinformation, I'd be happy to just nuke all of the articles. Cheers!

About the tied children in the Be'eri Massacre talk page

Hello! I hope I'm not bothering you but you might remember me from the comment I made that there were indeed tied children in the Be'eri Massacre, on its specific talk page I gave you an Israel Hayom article which contains testimonies of ZAKA volunteers who actually were at all the kibbutzim, towns and the Nova party as a source, and you said "The Israel Hayom article does not give the location where people were tied to each other" so I replied to your message you might have missed it but this Israel Hayom article does say there were tied children in Be'eri: "Yossi Landau a senior volunteer of the organization, shares his feelings from the sights he witnessed in Kibbutz Be'eri: "We saw children hugged with their mothers, shot. We saw parents and children in the same room, facing each other. Their hands were cuffed behind their backs. By all indications, they must have been severely abused." I'll be glad if now that you saw that the article does say there were tied (handcuffed) children in Be'eri you'll add it as a source. Thanks Tikatan (talk) 00:16, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I know about the Bible project but not the Israel. That’s helpful. It’s been frustrating because this seems to be one of the only active editors in some pages I’ve been editing. And they have pretty extreme views (which led to them being on restriction at Israel-Palestine pages.) It seems they’ve migrated their revisionism from Israel-Palestine pages to pages that are merely adjacent to the topic. Is there a way to request that some pages are officially in that topic. The user still seems to be able to edit pages like Solomon and Josiah which should be included in the Israel-Palestine editing restriction I believe.

Article notability

Does an article like this Al-Maghazi UNRWA school airstrike have enough coverage to really need its own article? 80.217.100.31 (talk) 21:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delayed response. It looks like there are a few sources dealing with this incident, so it's not an automatic "No." Do you have any specific concerns, especially ones related to Wikipedia:Notability#Events? Alaexis¿question? 13:59, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was just wondering how much a coverage a article needs in news. This article for example only directly sources from un and unrwa, and two short articles from Reuters, that only repeat what unrwa said on twitter.

It's great that you've started working on it! I'm sure you've checked the ruwiki article, it has more information about the principality, although frustratingly there are no inline citations.

Yes, I was hoping to add information from ru:Пронское княжество but unfortunately there is a lack of citations. Thanks for the help. Mellk (talk) 07:22, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also made a start on Principality of Tarusa. I am just not sure what could be considered the definite end date, though. I have seen some sources mention 1392, when Vasily I received the yarlyk to annex Tarusa, but there were still a couple more princes of Tarusa after this in some years (more like vassalage) and the appanages were still switching between Lithuania and Moscow until they were eventually all annexed by Moscow. ru:Тарусское княжество says 13th to 15th centuries, for example. Mellk (talk) 11:50, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good! Regarding the end date, according to Kelembet the (already non-independent) Tarusa princes lost Tarusa town for good between 1462 and 1473 ([2], p. 124).
Also, it's possible that the claim that Yury was a son of Michail of Chernigov is a later fabrication (Kelembet, pp. 71-75) Alaexis¿question? 21:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russia–NATO relations

With respect, reverting my Chechnya edit to Russia–NATO relations was not appropriate. The proper action was to contact me, use the Talk page, and/or add a citation needed flag. It's not just "all post-Soviet conflicts"—it's at least as relevant as Georgia, and the destruction and subjugation of Chechnya is a direct precursor to what Russia (Putin) is now doing to Ukraine.

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

@TheyMustKnowTheTRUTH, if you've checked the source for the existing figure and you're absolutely sure that it's incorrect and the information you found elsewhere is correct, then you should simply update the article providing the source for the added information.
If you're not wholly sure, or if the article is edit-protected, then it's best to raise it at the article's talk page. Alaexis¿question? 09:16, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from LinguicJo (13:21, 21 March 2024)

Hello Alexis, I'm new to Wikipedia editing, I have a question, how could I add hyperlinks to infoboxes? Thank you --LinguicJo (talk) 13:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're editing article code, just look at the source code of an article that already has links in an infobox (e.g., Trabzon). If you're using the visual editor I can't help you since I don't use it myself. Alaexis¿question? 09:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mjerfanicfu (13:46, 24 March 2024)

Hello, can we check the level of fame of this football player "Alessandro Barletta" , can she be on Wikipedia or not? --Mjerfanicfu (talk) 13:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@
WP:BIO. I've googled him and it doesn't seem like he's sufficiently notable. Hopefully he'll get some more coverage in future! Alaexis¿question? 14:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Khan Younis Stike

Hi Alaexis, thanks for the constructive criticism. I've readded the Khan Younis information in the proper section (Indiscriminate attacks). Also, apologies for not adding a source overtly calling it a war crime in the first place. I didn't do my due diligence because the footage is self-evident, but I should've.

Thanks for adding the source. I've included the IDF's response as well, per our sources, and to give the reader additional context. Alaexis¿question? 21:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, thanks ArthropodLover (talk) 03:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note

Hi Alaexis! I noticed your recent contributions and was wondering if you were creating an article on Qatari involvement in higher education in the United States? If you were, I just wanted to let you know that article already exists. 🙂 Wafflefrites (talk) 03:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, nice! Thanks for the heads up. I'll add some wikilinks to it. Alaexis¿question? 08:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
