Cities and towns during the Syrian civil war
I raised a question at the articles talk page on possibly marking jihadist-held towns separately from those held by moderate rebels. Your input would be appreciated. EkoGraf (talk) 18:14, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Could you make a suggestion on the issue of Daraya at the talk page that I raised based on a new source that came up today? Thanks! EkoGraf (talk) 14:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

- It's really no problem. It was a pleasure to help out and it gives me (and many others) great personal satisfaction to see the Jesus article featured. If there's ever anything else I can lend a hand with, please let me know. Have a great rest of the week. —Cliftonian (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

TFA/R points for Jesus
How does Jesus score eleven points for TFA/R? Not that you have to worry about it not being selected for December 25 anyway, but it seems to me to just be five points or, if you've never had an FA selected as TFA, six points. ("Main page representation" points can't be enumerated so far in advance.) -- tariqabjotu 19:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- @Tariqabjotu: I'm new to the TFA process, so I my calculations might not be correct. The way I calculated this is: 1 point (from date relevant to article topic) + 2 points (widely covered) + 4 points (vital article) + 1 point (me never having an FA selected for TFA) + 3 points (main page representation points) = 11 points. If we remove the main page representation points, the article would still get a total of 8 points. Am I doing this right?--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 19:13, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hold on, I realized my mistake. I can't have both widely covered and vital article points. Removing widely covered would produce a total of 6 points. I've now changed the points in the Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/pending chart to 6.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 19:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

The name of the ghouta attack
I think the name August 21 2013 ghouta chemical attack will be the best name chosen for the article.
- @Alhanuty: That's fine, but do not cut-and-paste move. The edit history gets lost if you do that. Instead, follow the instructions here: Wikipedia:Moving a page.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 18:37, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just
Regarding China and GA
Given that you've shown interest in eventually nominating China for a GA assessment, I'd just like to ask something. This is just a suggestion, so it's entirely up to you, but do you think it's a good idea to wait until this RfC closes before the GA nomination is made, so that we also have a chance for DYK as well? What do you think? (As far as I know, this article has never been in DYK, as it was created on October 2001, which completely predates DYK itself.) --benlisquareT•C•E 13:33, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- @Benlisquare: That's a good question. I don't think the article is ready fo GA anytime soon. I was thinking about nominating it for GA sometime in October. I'm guessing the RfC will be closed by then. I think it will be nice for the article go get a DYK. So, if the RfC doesn't close by October, I'm willing to wait. --FutureTrillionaire (talk) 16:20, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Other views part
Dear FutureTrillionaire, I only moved but not edited or deleted bahai's part inside other views. because there are huge differences between top three Abrahamic Religions and others like Bahai's or Sabians or etc, by these factors : number of followers, historical precedence, habitual rules ( JURISPRUDENCE ), ... it is better to put them in a secondary religion list because there are a dozen of this kind of religions. best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki hamze (talk • contribs) 17:50, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

China GA criteria
Just a quick question: How far do you estimate this article is from meeting GA criteria? Do you think it's close to becoming ready? The DYK RfC has passed, so you can feel free to nominate the article for a GA assessment at any time, whenever you feel that it is ready, and don't have to worry about waiting for anything. Once it passes, I'll then take it to DYK as well. --benlisquareT•C•E 09:46, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- @Benlisquare: If I were to review this article, I would say it meets all the GA criteria except for 3b and 2b. The article is still very long compared to other GA/FA country articles. Part of this reason is that some sections contain too much details. For example, too much of the history section is spent on describing the Qing dynasty and modern China (see WP:recentism). The demographics section doesn't need an entire paragraph detailing the sex ratio in China. The India article only discusses that in one sentence. Also, the article has some sourcing issues. I've spot-checked a few sources, and some of them don't support the statement in the article. For example, the statistic "roughly 300 million Chinese do not have access to safe drinking water" is not found in the source. I'm not spending as much time as I would like on WP due to my difficult courses, but I'll try to work on these issues and hopefully nominate this article by mid or late October.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 13:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
@Benlisquare: Sorry, change of plans. The article has more problems than I had expected. Also, I got a lot of coursework from my classes. I probably won't be able to nominate the article until sometime in November or December :( --FutureTrillionaire (talk) 22:32, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Your opinion asked on problems in ‘Syrian civil war’
Esteemed Wikipedia colleague: a discussion has been started at Talk:Syrian civil war#Section 2 (Events): five chronology-problems, concerning problems in section 2 of Syrian civil war.

Regarding North Korea
Per the article at North Korea, the DPRK amended its constitution in 2009, completely dropping all mentions of communism, and placing emphasis on Juche and Songun. The article includes this reference from Reuters. --benlisquareT•C•E 19:20, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- @Benlisquare: That's interesting, but the CIA World Factbook states that NK is a "Communist state one-man dictatorship". Other recent sources that call NK a communist state exist. I think the best solution is to not specify the number of communist states in the world in this article, because the GA criteria requires citations for statistics, and I can't find a source that states that there are only 4 of them in the world.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 22:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

CE question - from ref desk archive
If your analyte is a protein (or anything else with a mixture of different titratable groups), then you're very likely inverting its charge at low enough pH. Since the capillary is silica (negatively charged, if it was low enough pH that it was uncharged there wouldn't be any EOF at all), your protein of interest might be interacting nonspecifically with the capillary wall once it's positive (ie. below it's isoelectric point) resulting in longer retention times.(+)H3N-Protein\Chemist-CO2(-) 17:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Interesting, thank you! I got a final exam to prepare for for my analytical chemistry class.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 21:59, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Keywords here are "might" and "if". You'll certainly start to reduce the EOF if you go to low enough pH, since you'll reduce the charge density of the silica. So it's really a mixture of both things. (+)H3N-Protein\Chemist-CO2(-) 05:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

unreliable sources - it is impossible. all sources is very authoritative media, they work *news*, worldwide, many years. if you do not have a source that ITAR-TASS's a lie (specifically those articles that I used), if you have no source (*battle for Syria* it's a lie). you can't delete my edits. it is outside the rules. in addition, I give the translation. I give references are free from copyright. in addition, the recording of TV ether (news release) this is the authoritative source. this is a verifiable source. moreover, *the battle for Syria* is a documentary film. other sources (if there are sources without translation tell me and I mend). but you can't simply delete all at once. my sources have become in Wikipedia. you can read about them that is large media (news)Rqasd (talk) 11:47, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I want to thank you for starting that RfC. The voting could have gone either way, and it still might swing in the other direction. But as a matter of process, I think it is awesome of you to have put out that call.
I also want to apologize for harshness in the other point I was trying to make over there. I am sure that I could have been more tactful in how I did that. I will strive to be more compassionate in the future. The other concern is that in all that I did communicate, I voiced no appreciation for the time and energy you put into editing Wikipedia for the purpose of making it better. I do have a great appreciation for that aspect of your efforts.

NDFI am considering that we should remove both the Shabiha and Jaysh al-Sha'bi from the infobox because I have come to be of the strong belief that both organisations have been merged into the NDF. A year ago when the NDF just showed up we got conflicting reports saying that these two were part of the NDF, that they were merging into the NDF or were even totally separate from them. However, since than we have almost had no mention of the two organisations and the pro-government militias have generally been referred to as the NDF by SOHR and others. Would you agree with this?

AleppoI am thinking of cutting down the Aleppo battle article a bit. Mainly to remove reports of individual non-notable incidents that happened on a daily basis.

With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish. More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page .

Your map of Russia was in an article by the Washington Post! That's awesome! Here's the Press Barnstar! a> monochrome_monitor.exe/ 14:17, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Islamist unrest in EgyptIs there a way to move the article back to "unrest" instead of "unrests"? I hope it is possible because the current title is grammatically incorrect somehow. The reason for this was a disruptive move by User:Qjahid that made it hard to move back, and before i made a technical request, another user moved it to "uprising" as a compromise.

Syrian Civil War in HomsColleague, I have at earlier times noticed and remarked on your sound vision on our article ‘Syrian Civil War’, but this time I’m displeased at your stance on ‘Talk:Siege of Homs’ on 22May2014. Can the fact that some word (‘siege’) is being (vaguely) used in some film review be decisive for the naming of an encyclopedia article? Should it be in the case of Homs 2011–2014? Should any vague use of the word ‘siege’ in relation to Homs decide over the naming of an encyclopedia article? Should any calling a ‘siege’ what obviously is no ‘siege’ decide over the naming of an encyclopedia article so as to reinforce such misunderstanding? How does Wikipedia have to react on editors who say they “oppose” a (motivated) title correction but bring forward no argument for their opposition? (See also my comments on that page: ‘Talk:Siege of Homs’.) --Corriebertus (talk) 16:12, 9 June 2014 (UTC) The Iraqi mapOh,i really didn't realize that. talk ) 02:40, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Too long, didn’t readColleague, on 12June you wrote in some Discussion section: “TL;DR…”. What was too long? After which standards? What did you not read? Most of all: what does that all contribute to the discussion pursued in that section? --Corriebertus (talk) 08:05, 16 June 2014 (UTC) personal attackColleague, on 12June in this Discussion you accused me of making a personal attack. A glance at Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:No personal attacks#What is considered to be a personal attack? tells me that ‘personal attack’ is a subjective qualification, having to to with ‘not constructive discussion’, ‘not helping to make a point’, deterring users from working on Wikipedia, etc. Could you please inform me, what you considered to be my personal attack, and why? --Corriebertus (talk) 08:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC) Opinion neededYour opinion would be appreciated on a discussion an editor has requested (rather at length I would say) here ‘ Talk:Syrian Civil War#Problems and errors in our presentation of events April–May2011 in Daraa, Homs, Baniyas’.

thanks for the thanks! - opinion needed on new article for just the military operation ......Yeah, that was very poorly handled by the closing Administrator. The SECOND more recent Move Request was closed, and from the msg's I'm getting, most of us thought the issue was closed, especially since (disruptive) user Ezzex had tried in a 3rd Section to bring it up again and it had been squashed. That's what happens when a TP is not archived often enough - I certainly was no longer looking for any new RM. Oh, well. The matter at hand is, we have a technical military operation article (aka Barbarossa, Citadel, Battle of Adrianopolis, etc.) that has been hijacked for a wider article on the never-ending Arab-Jew conflict. Is it feasible to open up a strictly military article on Operation Protective Edge now, move the pertinent technical aspects away from the newly re-titled article, and also allow this article to get into the more detailed military aspects (type of weapons, battle statistics, etc.) - or will some Wiki lawyer try to squash it and/or incorporate the material back into the Gaza Conflict 2014 article? I don't want to go to the effort if the usual reactionaries go hoo-ha over it. Thanks. HammerFilmFan (talk) 16:31, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

War in Afghanistan rename
Just wanted to let you know. Despite the rename proposal going through with a 100% consensus, editor RightCowLeftCoast has jumped in again within a day of the discussion being closed and the article renamed and has requested the article name be returned to before and plus merge the 2015-present article into the 2001 one. Your arguments and opinion from before would be appreciated once again at the talk page. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

help with footnote formatting
Thanks for fixing my reference formats. I've been using the same templates for years, as you can tell. It's time I get with the program. Thanks again. Jonathan Tweet (talk) 03:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Jonathan Tweet: No problem. It really doesn't matter, but since Jesus is a Featured Article, it's nice keep citation format consistent. By the way, thank you for your contributions to the article. I think you're doing a good job. Before you came, the article hadn't changed much since I brought it to Featured Article status two years ago.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 17:19, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. It means a lot to me. Jonathan Tweet (talk) 02:43, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Lack of international perspective and 'undue' additions in China mil
Please see the talk section for 'China'.
I will add the additional international perspective that amplifies the credibility of the earlier reference. The section as it stands makes the point that China is making strides in defense, but regional and considerable powers such as Japan have already reacted to Chinese mil advances. The perspective of Australia et al could also be added. Church of the Rain (talk) 04:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Happiness
Reall sorry for the late reply. I didn't see your message until now, somehow missed your notification. Now. Thank you for your praise, this subject has always been something I am interested in and have always researched it, since high school and all through university. Its not that much depressing to me. Probably because I always had a realistic view of the world around us thanks to the death of my father in the Battle for Vukovar in 1991. Some would call me a pessimist, but I'm simply a realist. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 20:16, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Is Michael R. Licona an RS for historical Jesus?
You seem to think so? Do you have evidence? I try to stick with acknowledged experts, and I've never heard of Licona. I like that he can't take Matthew 27 literally, and I'd support you citing him in a Christian section, but what's your evidence that we should cite him in the historical section? Thanks in advance. Jonathan Tweet (talk) 04:26, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I guess I need to ask the same thing about Ludemann and Habermas. And why Erhman is taken to represent scholarship at large on the messiah issue. Andy maybe why you cite Ehrman when he agrees with you (probably secretly said he was the Messiah) and not when he disagrees (no resurrection). Jonathan Tweet (talk) 13:20, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current

I'm sure you honestly see the Gospels section as neutral, and I'm not asking you to change your opinion. I am asking you to abide by good WP practices, which is not to remove a POV tag when it's under discussion. Thanks. Jonathan Tweet (talk) 15:36, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
Syrian Civil War - possible edits
I appreciate your input on my suggestions. I assume that, this being an article documenting an ongoing current event of high importance, any changes of the scale proposed above would require a broad consensus in order to be implemented. Would you be interested in collaborating on creating a template for splitting/removal of contents, to be posted to the forums or article talk page for discussion? Please PM me regarding this. Helmut von Moltke (talk) 04:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- @WP:BRD. As for collaboration, I'm watching the article talk page, so we can discuss ideas there. I'm kinda lazy though, so you might have to do most of the work lol.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 04:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)07:28, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

The issue regarding some citation tags are resolved now. It's been a year since you initiated its reassessment, and the article has seen lot of changes since then. Please do the needful ASAP. Thank you. Yashthepunisher (talk) 09:58, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Oblivion interview?
Hi FutureTrillionaire, I work on the Wikimedia Blog for the WMF and would like to ask you a few questions about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion before its 10th anniversary this weekend. I'd appreciate replies asap because I'll be on a plane tomorrow, and either I or my colleague Joe will have very little time to write this up—I apologize for the late notice. :-)
- What got you interested in Oblivion? Did you ever play the game? How far did you get?
- What makes Oblivion significant in video game history? Why does it still garner so much interest even today?
- What sort of special research have you done to complete this articles? Do you feel like you could write an academic work on Oblivion now?
- What else do you think I should write about? Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 03:13, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Ed Erhart (WMF): Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this is worth writing about. I haven't actually played the game before. I brought it to FA status as part of a contest on Wikipedia:Bounty board. I got a free Steam game as a result of the contest. Most of the sources I used were gaming websites. I could be wrong, but I'm sure if Oblivion is significant in video game history other than being a popular game. You could try asking Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games if you really want to write about this.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 03:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
