Pages on "Taharror" and "Shi'ites Against the War"
[edit]Please forgive me if I have not made this request correctly; I am new here. Apparently there were pages on both of these anti-war Shia groups which were deleted for not having sufficient external sources. Since I haven't seen the deleted articles, I have no way to evaluate whether I should request a reconsideration of the deletions or attempt to provide an article. I do believe the omission of pages on these groups while maintaining pages on their opposing groups (Hezbollah and Amal) prevents readers from accessing information that would provide a more comprehensive view of the situation in Lebanon, particularly in the Shia community (of which I am myself not a part); I just think the information should be available to Wikipedia readers. Again, please accept my apology if I have not submitted this request correctly; I'll happily accept guidance on how to go about seeking inclusion of information on these movements.

- Hi, well Taharor exists. I'm guessing that is just a variant spelling from what you want. It does need expanding. I do not find Shi'ites Against the War or Shi'ites against the war either deleted or undeleted, so I am uncertain what article you want there. It may be best to start fresh.

- Hi, and thanks for your response!! I also thought it might be a different spelling of the same thing, but it isn’t. “Taharor” is a completely different movement, in a different country (Egypt, not Lebanon). Following a link to Wikipedia from a search engine result for “Taharror” led me to “the page does not exist”, which led me to a “deletion log” where I saw this:
- 03:38, 13 August 2024 Explicit talk contribs deleted page Taharror (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taharror (XFDcloser))
- Assuming the reason for the deletion was valid, I’d like to see the deleted article so I can assess whether I might be able to sufficiently improve it. (There are references to this movement, with sources cited, on other pages.)
- Thanks!!! Miryurist (talk) 20:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, got it. See User:Miryurist/Taharror where I've put it in your userspace for development. LadyofShalott 21:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- And that led me to find and do similarly with User:Miryurist/Shiites Against War. Both of these can now be worked on in your userspace until ready ready for main. :) LadyofShalott 21:07, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! :-) Miryurist (talk) 21:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I revised the article with additional material and sources, and hit the "publish" button, but a search for "Taharror" still results in a "page does not exist" message. What do I need to do for the page to be published? (Or is it just a waiting period?) Thanks!! Miryurist (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Miryurist, you would have to "Move" the page to mainspace. You may want to have an experienced Wikipedian look it over before doing that. As I am unable to read your sources, I do not feel qualified to be that person. WikiProject Lebanon and WikiProject Islam would probably be good places to start.

- Hi, I'm getting a "page doesn't exist" message on the links you provided. Can you suggest anyone else? (If the issue is ability to read Arabic - I don't either, but the sources have English versions on their webpages.) Thanks again!!! Miryurist (talk) 23:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
