Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Mastanesosus, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were three infoboxes for three different kings on a one page about a single king. Why would I not remove them? Sinclairian (talk) 07:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was removed due to the speeches of the Republican politician Donald Trump having nothing to do logically with the nazi concept of "blood and soil". From personal research from myself, as a Latin, I can't see any correlation whatsoever and I found it adequate and tasteful to remove this part of the article to better inform people about truth. 2804:14D:90A7:445B:1358:5883:FC7C:E790 (talk) 18:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of redirect

Hello, I noticed your edit on the list of flags with Islamic symbolism. I didn't notice that there was another list with the same topic prior to actually getting to creating the list but i don't see a reason to make my list into a redirect of the older one considering the fact that my list actually has all of the stuff which which it doesn't, sources, quality and reliability. I think it would be a better idea to make the older list into a new redirect to my list. I did some quick research and some of the flags on this older list didn't even have any relativity to Islam at all (i.e. Singapore). For now i have reverted your edit and made the older article into a redirect instead. As for the flags which the older article mentions but i didn't, i'll get to them in a little once i find reliable sources for them. Thank you. Hjemt (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:27, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome! You have made 365 edits in just 19 days! That's quite fast. Seems like you're not a stranger to Wikipedia editing, judging from your contributions. That's why I didn't use the welcome template. — Python Drink (talk) 00:33, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Did I cite incorrectly? IncandescentBliss (talk) 21:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should try and use the actual templates, and failing that, be more explicit. Use {{cite journal}} for articles, don't just give author, title, and incomplete attribution. Get ISBNs, publishing information, etc., see if the articles have electronic hostings and then link them if they do. Run down
WP:REF. Things like that. Sinclairian (talk) 21:22, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Thank you. I’m new. IncandescentBliss (talk) 21:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are there websites that autogenerate citations proficiently? It’s a bit of a tedious process. IncandescentBliss (talk) 22:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am unaware of any, personally. Sinclairian (talk) 23:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, check out
WP:CITETOOL, it has a few tools that you might find useful. Sinclairian (talk) 16:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

About Uzair page

How are you? I want to talk to you about the topic of Uzair page. I want you and I to agree about some edits topics that were removed from the page, such as: Two Hadiths about Uzair and the title of ''son of Allah in islam and what is the mean of Uzair son of god Hzea (talk) 18:31, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hadiths themselves do not constitute

Hi, @

Did you delete all of my edits?

I’m confused. I’m primarily just summarizing historicity sections and occasionally adding recent scholarship. For example, in the Adam and Eve page, every article is supposed to have its sections summarized in the lead. You deleted my summary of an important section. If it’s not relevant, delete the section too. But you’re just deleting my edits. Please work for compromises rather than deleting my hard work. I have a degree in the Hebrew Bible and am willingly giving my time to help out around here! All the best! IncandescentBliss (talk) 00:47, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cuneiform and Anatolian hieroglyph entries

Hello. I've had to revert several of your edits relating to the transcription of Hieroglyphic Luwian and Neo-Assyrian Akkadian written in cuneiform because you replaced the reconstruction of several terms and names by linguists with the strict modern transliterations of the signs.

Please make yourself familiar with the transcription and reconstruction of Akkadian and Luwian in the cuneiform and hieroglyphic scripts instead of engaging in such disruptive edits again. Antiquistik (talk) 16:44, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Can you recommend any learning resources that might assist me in such an endeavor? Sinclairian (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For Luwian, the Corpus of Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscriptions (volumes 1, 2 and 3 are available via the Wikipedia Library) as well as the Annotated Corpus of Luwian Texts and the Digital Philological-Etymological Dictionary of the Minor Ancient Anatolian Corpus Languages are good places to begin.
For Akkadian, the The Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago is a good place to start, although you would also need to cross-reference from multiple sources by linguists and historians (such as the Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie, also available via the Wikipedia Library) in the case of proper nouns such as anthroponyms and toponyms.

Much thanks for clearing up some confusion

I thank you for clearing several confusions regarding interpretation, including the qoph/ṣirar (brought up by someone else) and ayn/pay (brought up by myself) problems. INFIYNJTE (talk) 18:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, apologies if I bothered you with the lack of consistency regarding the n/a template.
I focus mainly on putting the glyphs and connections and rely on the help of others for the formatting. After all, this is a collaboration. INFIYNJTE (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
