9G deletion
Was I right in assuming it has to do with a reference or two that's required? If not just let me know so I can provide the additional information you're looking for.
- It was that overall the article didn't give any sense of why this business would be listed in an encyclopedia. But showing evidence of substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject can make a big difference. See the article on demonstrating notability. I looked for myself and didn't find any, but you're welcome to provide some. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:34, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Deletion
If it is no trouble, can I ask why you would delete this? I realize that I don't have sources, and I will get them, but otherwise, it breaks no rules. Thanks

- Hi. Wikipedia articles can be speedily deleted if they don't credibly explain why they're significant. In other words, it should be clear why there might reasonably be an article about the topic in an encyclopedia. You say that it's "in the forefront" and "well known" but those are very non-specific descriptions and they sound subjective. It doesn't seem to me that being in the top 2,000 of any ranking is a substantial distinction, and even less so in the context of a single game out of the thousands of games that are out there. This doesn't mean that where the team is in the context of that game isn't cool, but it doesn't seem encyclopedic to me. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: The need for gender roles
Hello Largoplazo. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of The need for gender roles, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Inappropriate essay material but not promotional per se. AFD should run its course. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 08:08, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- @FreeRangeFrog: Promoting an idea, such as the need for gender roles (which even the very title of the article does), does fall under WP:CSD G11. ""Promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion: anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc." —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Change?
why are you changing this into Albanian!!! It is english.. I made this page, please stop changing it. I don't see why you are changing it back to Albanian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristuq (talk • contribs) 18:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- I explained this to you three times already. Here's the fourth time: because machine translations are unacceptable. Read WP:MACHINETRANSLATION. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:08, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Union Bank (Albania)
Excuse me? You think that is promotion?
All the other banks around the world have a page and Union Bank (Albania) did not have a page on the english Wikipedia! I do not see how this is promotion or any sort of advertisement. Please do not delete posts that I create because they have valid information. Can you please explain to me why you would think that it is a promotional gesture when all the other companies have one?
Thank you Kristuq (talk) 18:14, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- There is no reason why there can't be an article on the bank (assuming it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for notability). In the article that you posted, the language, especially in the very long paragraph that made up most of the article, was very promotional, talking about how great the bank is, how wonderful its features are, etc.
- Please read WP:Your first article for more information, including tips on what distinguishes an acceptable page from one that may be deleted. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:50, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Union bank (Albania)
Sorry... I just saw you comments. I am new to this :( ! So if I translate this myself I am then able to repost it correct?

Kristuq (talk) 18:25, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, that's correct, if it also conforms to other Wikipedia guidelines, as I explained above. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:51, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Western Union
The middle text was an interview from the President of the company and I am not going to change her words, because that is saying things that aren't valid. Do you want that? Yes the text was straight from the article because that is the purpose of the reference or? Since I referenced it I am not going to change information because it goes beyond what is acceptable. That article was from a economic magazine which stays off bias... if the words are used in the interview why should I change them?
Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristuq (talk • contribs) 21:21, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't believe that an interview with the president of a business has any place in a reference article on the business. This is an encyclopedia, not a magazine nor a brochure for the business nor its website. The purpose of an article is to state factual, neutral information about its topic from the point of view of a disinterested party, not to share the impressions and priorities of the people who are intimately involved in it—as the economics magazine apparently did want to do. The fact that the interview was recorded in an unbiased magazine doesn't alter the fact that it isn't neutral content. Besides that, the economics magazine's holds a copyright on that content. It isn't yours to use. —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi
If I had as much experience as you i would have posted the same accusatory thing to your talk page as you did mine. I do ASSUME good faith, I do, however, your note addressed me OBSERVING otherwise; while assumptions of the unknown in a persons action should be held in good faith, once those actions (for example writing) are over, the idea of 'assumptions' is gone, and while you are very familiar with Wiki details, you don't seem familiar with the English language, and I suggest you use a dictionary when you are unsure, as it would have saved you the trouble. I also remember that you are the editor who deleted a page of mine based on 'copyright infringement' (which you so cleverly found by copy-pasting the article to google, and noticing it was word for word from another source! all 1 sentence of it ! *GASP!* you did not continue on to read that the work was open for the public domain.) I would like you to kindly leave me alone, as I find your engagements hostile. You accuse me of making assertions that I have never made, and your tone is FAR from friendly , or welcoming. I suggest that instead of spamming new users with endless pages of rules and requirements, you search yourself for a littler bit of humanity that you MIGHT have inside you (hidden somewhere), maybe call a relative, if you have any living, that you care for, or consider adopting a puppy, this can relieve depression, and help you treat other humans like... OTHER HUMANS!!! (stop being such a jerk please, you aren't helping me at all, please go find something else to do with your time, there are plenty of other editors on Wiki, it won't collapse without you, take a break, you've clearly been here for WAY too long, as you OBVIOUSLY NO LONGER HAVE ANY PATIENCE FOR NEW USERS AND THERE MISTAKES. ONCE AGAIN A PLEASURE TO INTERACT WITH YOU! Nolanpowers (talk) 17:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- You claim repeatedly that you don't understand what's going on and openly search for someone to explain it to you. But here you refer resentfully to the "endless pages of rules and requirements". The whole purpose of these notifications is to explain to a user, new or otherwise, what's going on.
- You speak of patience, and patience is a good thing. Do you understand how you test someone's patience, even someone of good will, by repeatedly ignoring them when they try to explain how things really work, yet you persist in arguing based on your initial conceptions while dismissing the explanations you're being given?
- Making mistakes is natural, of course. Continuing to make them, insistently, after someone who does know how things work here has pointed them out, does not engender good will. (The bishop was a good case in point. There's a special rule that covers clergy. It makes the case of that bishop's article different from the case of Mr. Adabra. I didn't make that guideline, I only pointed it out to you. And yet you chose to continue arguing the point.)
- My only problem in these situations is that instead of just letting things drop and leaving the other person to his own devices, I tend to keep trying to get the other person to understand, and that's when the other person thinks I'm being mean. I should know better by now. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:15, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
please leave my talk page alone. I do not want to talk to you. Please stop your harassmentNolanpowers (talk) 18:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- By the way, nowhere at http://www.amazon.com/Loeuvre-journalistique-Mongo-B%C3%A9ti-Contours/dp/3841622399 do the words "public domain" appear. And, yes, we delete pages for being copyright infringements. This is far from unique to me. It isn't just a Wikipedia rule, it's international law, your dismissal of it notwithstanding. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:00, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

I was about to translate the article, starting with google translate. That's when I found out that that it was an inferior version of the Lightning rod article. Aditya(talk • contribs) 17:54, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi. I don't know if you've used Google Translate as the basis for a translation before, but it's often misleading, if not downright gibberish. You could wind up with something that doesn't say what the original says! Of course, you could luck out and get a clear enough result to produce a clean enough translation. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:21, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

- @Madegoke: Hello. Did you see the edit summary I left explaining my reasons for my edits? There were a couple of reasons. Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, whereas the text you added was highly admirational. Also, original research isn't permitted. This includes one's own opinions, evaluations, analyses, which is what much of what you'd written appeared to be. It's OK to indicate the reception that an artist's works have received elsewhere, but that should be cited to sources. This is especially important for biographies of living persons.
- Since you have now said that you're working for him, please read Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest.
- I'd recommend, if you have it in mind to restore the content I deleted, that you follow the links I've given you above first, to get a feel for what is and isn't appropriate for a Wikipedia article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Improvisational Tribal Style
Hello, I'm trying to correct an error. My dance style is called Improvisational Tribal Style, NOT Improv Tribal Style. I tried to create a new page but it has disappeared (it says that you undid the change). Can you please direct me to the appropriate place to correct this? Thank you, Sarah Stinson http://improvisationaltribalstyle.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeeRedLass (talk • contribs) 20:25, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- @WeeRedLass: Um ... it didn't disappear, I redirected it, and just finished leaving a note about it on your talk page.
- What exactly are you trying to do? I see that the article Improv Tribal Style Belly Dance has been here since 2007. Are you saying that it's your style, that the title is inaccurate, and that you're trying to correct it? If that's the case, then the solution is to WP:MOVE it to the proper title, rather than creating a new article and copying and pasting content. If you were trying to change the title to "Improvisational Tribal Style", you've actually made the move difficult by creating the article at that title from scratch. If I've described correctly what your intention is, let me know and I can help you out. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying. Sorry, I'm new to this so I probably did it all wrong... The title is incorrect. I will follow your link and fix the existing article. It also needs a LOT of cleanup. My plan is to work on that in sections...
Thanks again for your help! User:WeeRedLass
Sarah — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeeRedLass (talk • contribs) 20:38, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
No dice, Largoplazo. The request was denied. It says that I don't have permission to move the page because the name already exists. I thought that the one I attempted to create today was redirected?
Can you assist me with the move, or do I need to contact a different administrator? Thank you.
WeeRedLass (talk — Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- Right, that's what I was saying: you already created a page at that title, so the existing one can't be moved there. I was offering to help by requesting the deletion of the page you created and then moving the existing one to it, if you'll confirm that "Improvisational Tribal Style" is where you wanted it to go. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:45, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Gotcha. Again, I apologize for the confusion. Correct. Improvisational Tribal Style should be the title. Thanks. WeeRedLass (talk) 20:50, 19 May 2015 (UTC)WeeRedLass
- Not a problem! Not everything about Wikipedia is obvious. :-) I've submitted the new page for deletion. After it's been deleted, you or I (whoever notices it first) can move the old page to that title, unless the administrator who deletes the new one reads the explanation I provided and decides to execute the move himself. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- Please do keep in mind, though, the guidelines on writing with a conflict of interest. If you're going to edit the article, it's essential that you treat it disinterestedly, as anyone else would when writing a reference article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:25, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- After all that, I don't know why, instead of waiting, you moved the article to Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS). People aren't going to generally look for an article on the assumption that its title is going to repeat the name of the topic both in full form and as an abbreviation. That isn't a recommended approach to titling an article, and now it needs to be moved again anyway. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:25, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I thought I did what you suggested...you said "then the solution is to WP:MOVE it to the proper title, rather than creating a new article and copying and pasting content." I went to the old site and moved it. Sorry. Also, it still gives a warning message at the top that the article needs clean-up, but doesn't list a specific reason...how do I get rid of that?
- Sarah — Preceding undated comment added 22:01, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- You had said it was supposed to be called "Improvisational Tribal Style" and I had said I would move it to "Improvisational Tribal Style" once the article you'd already created at that location was deleted. Then, instead, you moved it to "Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS)". Ultimately, though, the person who processed my deletion request figured it out and moved the article, then at "Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS)", to "Improvisational Tribal Style", which is where we had agreed it should be.
- Since the clean-up tag was added in 2010, without the nature of the anticipated clean-up being specified, and since the article has been spruced up since then, and since the article looks fairly good to me, I would say it's OK to remove the clean-up tag. Whatever the person who placed it there had in mind has probably been taken care of. —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Name of Palmyra
Hello, you asked for a clarification and it does exist in the notes. The general view holds that "Palmyra" is derived from "Tadmor" either as an alteration, which was supported by Schultens,[note 4][11] or as a translation using the Greek word for palm ("palame"),[note 5][5] which is supported by Jean Starcky.[10] In note 4, you will see Schultens theory about the alternation :According to Schultens, the Romans altered the name from "Tadmor" to "Talmura", and afterward to "Palmura" (from the Latin word "palma", meaning palm),[10] in reference to the palm trees. Then the name reached its final form "Palmyra".[308]. In note 5 you will see the theory about the translation : The name could be a translation of "Tadmor" (assuming that it meant palm), and derived from the Greek word (Palame).[4].--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 01:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 01:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

About the article i create for VSP Production, You write me that is a article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://vspproduction.mk/za-nas. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

Best regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vel ja (talk • contribs) 01:36, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- Donating copyrighted material is a legal matter. There is a procedure for it, described at WP:DCM, that explains what you have to do if you want to give permission for Wikipedia to carry copyrighted material. Part of it is that you have to agree that the material can then be reused by Wikipedia users in other places, for other purposes. But keep in mind that since you are associated with VSP Productions, you have a conflict of interest. As explained at WP:COI, writing about subjects over which you have a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged. Wikipedia is not for use to publicize anything in which you have an interest. I'd say that most of the articles about businesses written by people with conflicts of interest wind up getting deleted as promotional. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:07, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion
Hej,
You recently put my first page to speedy deletion for a good reason. It was written in the wrong language. This was not my intention of course. Is there no way to simply move it to the correct page instead of deleting it. There was an obvious and bad hole there to be filled.
Best regards,
(Martintf (talk) 09:16, 27 May 2015 (UTC))
- Hi. The article you created was Jonisering, which is Swedish for Ionization, for which English Wikipedia does already have an article. There is no hole.
- If there hadn't already been an article on ionization, then the procedure would have been to post a notice about your article to WP:PNT and then wait two weeks to see whether anyone translated your article. If it remained in Swedish after two weeks, it would then have been deleted. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:08, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Would like to say
somewhere in the AfD of[Kodjo Adabra] and your help in my noob-level errors, you say 'Racism is a dangerous thing to joke about'. After quite a lot of though I strongly feel this is an inappropriate statement, further, I would say you are right in one sense and in other senses that sort of 'generalized philosophy' can be quite dangerous. I would just like to say that despite all the risks, whatever you might be concerned about, racism is a dangerous thing to not joke about, to treat it as a subject too tense for any discussion? That sounds like quite an unbearable way to live, but that is just my opinion. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nolanpowers (talk • contribs) 21:22, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- To accuse someone of it, even jokingly, when that person is a total stranger you're having a passionate disagreement with rather than one of your buddies with whom you have a tradition of boundary-pushing kidding, shows really poor judgment. I also wonder about the judgment of a person who has already told me plainly that he never wants to hear from me again but who doesn't understand that, as a corollary, he's kind of obligated himself from that point on not to stir the pot.
- @Nolanpowers: No, my aversion to even a suggestion, by someone who knows nothing about me and who offers it without bothering to check the record, that my activities on Wikipedia are motivated by racism doesn't make my life even remotely unbearable, but I'm touched by your concern. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:40, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
@Largo plazo:It seems you have some issues with confronting your own psychological conditioning, and you're right I hardly know you at all. Thank you, genuinely, for your help on the Origins of the Six-day war dubiousness re-phrasing, in addition, or perhaps more specifically; coincidentally, in the talk page [1] there is a nice chart during the wonderful work that is shown to keep the statement as it was (the blame, as @DeCausa: holds), however the works that are cited, mostly Maoz, "-See Maoz p. 98 : "The existing literature...most of the blame for the outbreak of the war is placed on Nasser and the Egyptian decision making process" shows it as 'most' and then later on in the chart he uses the word 'most' again. this would also be an appropriate word come to think of it it may be better, although it is not my specialty and 'some' is already more precise than 'the' as it cannot be confused with the other uses of 'the' that imply unique-ness or a soleness of existence. Also this may belong in a different part of Wikipedia, although considering as it is regarding the dubiousness that comes about as a result of the form these ideas are expressed in, it doesn't seem to fit into the 'nassar talks made war inevitable' section of the talk page on Origins of Six-Day.

Proposed deletion
I'm wondering about your tagging of Arta portretului şi a naraţiunii în opera cronicarilor moldoveni for deletion as WP:NOR. Are you fluent enough in Romanian to make this assessment? The Google translation of the page is horrible and practically meaningless, but the article appears to be a rather well referenced examination of the portrayal of art among Romanian historians. An obscure topic, perhaps, but given that it lists several apparently valid sources, a valid one. I'd prefer to wait for a competent English translation before deciding on the true nature of this article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- @WikiDan61: It's funny you say that, because I was remarking on the clarity of at least the beginning of Google's translation of this one. While I do see that the writer lists references at the bottom, I was going by the first-person construction of this presentation and a few personal assertions that I noticed quickly of what's significant, what's important, etc.
- "Over time, people such as: Grigore Ear, Miron Costin, Ion Neculce Cantemir had an important role in our literary history."
- "The Chronicle is the masterpiece of every people, is the conscience, thought and feelings of the people themselves." I know enough of Romance languages (getting along comfortably in French- and Spanish-speaking countries without falling back on English, and having made my way in Portuguese and Italian as well) to recognize, for example, that "masterpiece" is a faithful translation of "opera de căpătâi" (compare French "chef d'oeuvre", backwards though it is).
- "[Ureche's] talent is best revealed in the description battlefields where irony appears sharp and in portraiture."
- However, looking it over more carefully, I'm thinking now that I might have been hasty. The presentation format is needs to be changed, but perhaps it would be a workable piece—if translated. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:16, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Based on other submissions by the author, I'm pretty sure the article was written as a school assignment and may well be trashed after being properly translated, but I'm glad you agreed to give it the chance first. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:36, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

why the bread dog page shouldn't be deleted

Neutral articles don't characterize their subjects with the non-specific and, therefore, meaningless superlative "leading", rave about their subjects' "best-in-class technology", stress the benefits their subjects offer to customers (such as improving their lives), and trumpet such trivia as the fact that their offices are fully staffed, which is of no practical value (why do I, as a person consulting an encyclopedia, care whether or not they have unused office space?) and is designed only to excite the impressionable but unsophisticated potential customer. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:39, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Autoblopnik
Hi--it looks like another person and I have chimed in with the notability of Autoblopnik on the talk page, so I'm letting you know I've removed the prod tag. Everything else looks fairly tidy and unbiased, as far as I can tell. It's more of a industry insider parody site than anything, but as someone who works for one of the sites it frequently skewers, I can assure you that it's fairly well-known with in the automotive/automotive journalism community. Feel free to chime in with what else in particular you might want to see to justify its notability, but I tried to sum it up with a short paragraph below the introduction.
Admittedly, they probably do gain a lot of traffic through social. That's how I always figure out that they've posted something new since it's updated sporadically as opposed to daily. Then again, a lot of that gets shared among the writers it tends to parody.
So, since I don't often edit wikis-- I have removed the prod tag from Autoblopnik, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! 66.90.154.65 (talk) 18:38, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- In your edit summary, you wrote "I also added some in[fo] about its notability within the automotive industry to address the concerns stated in the deletion request" but the only addition I see with respect to that is a claim. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:28, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

@Largoplazo: Hello,Bharatmaniam12 this side. I understand and appreciate your feedback. I will remove and modify the content so that they are in accordance with the rules of wikipedia and make it more neutral. However I would like to point out that all the wikipedia pages of any cultural and technical festival of a college would differ then a usual wikipedia article. Some form of promotional language is unavoidable but certainly can be mentioned more subtly . I will try my best to make it more neutral but it is my sincere request that you and all fellow readers read such wikipedia articles with a more open mind. We in no way intend to use wikipedia as a promotional platform as we have other mediums such as facebook,websites to do the same. The intent of the article was to provide an in-depth information about the event.
- @Bharatmaniam12: Hello. I'm curious how you received the impression that there's a special dispensation for articles about cultural and technical festivals. If this is a conclusion you've reached by observing other articles that have such language, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Other articles aren't necessarily an example of what's appropriate. Pointing them out as examples frequently backfires, with those articles getting heavily revised or even deleted.
- Promotional language and WP:PUFFERY is 100% avoidable. If I don't remove it, it's very likely that someone else will. It isn't our purpose here to convey to readers how much fun all the attendees had. —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:56, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
@Largoplazo: Okayy. I'll take your points and edits into consideration and improve the article.

Message about revision to Saygus
Your message came to me. I do know that this is a shared IP address, but I did not make those changes and do not know who did. Just an FYI. Cghake (talk) 14:36, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
how is that vandalism?
That is how you pronounce the guy's name...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.240.227 (talk) 15:46, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Unless the existing pronunciation guide is wrong, it isn't pronounced that way. I admit I was, therefore, supposing that your intent was to be funny with your use of "bootie"; if I was wrong, I apologize. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:43, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying the Saygus article
Really sorry if my "why the hell are you changing it back an article suppose to include these thing" comment sounded rude it wasn't meant to be rude. I only notice that it was rude when my husband read it out to me. For the Saygus article i had removed the accessories part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.255.94.42 (talk) 00:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Linda George
Largoplazo,
on April you removed something I added on Linda George (Assyrian Singer)... what was it that you removed and why? > beside, is there any way to learn how to edit on this wikipedia? it's is so slow and hard to figure out how to add a picture for example.?
(Atour Shmuel (talk) 03:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC))
- If you're looking at the article's history page, it tells you right there what my reason was. If you aren't, where are you seeing that I made those changes? Anyway, your changes amounted to adding inappropriate links (to YouTube, etc.), and WP:PEACOCK language talking about how great she is. Wikipedia articles are neutral. They don't praise or condemn. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:30, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Just curious
How did you find this? — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Wikipedia talk:How to create a page is on my watchlist. I followed up your reversion of his edits to see what else Donga Nick was up to. I didn't see any good reason for Markangle11 to remove your legitimate comment on Donga Nick's talk page, even though I see you and he have been at odds on Sufism-related pages. I thought maybe he had reverted your comment without noticing that it wasn't related to the disputed subject. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:17, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks. Markangle randomly undid two of my recent edits simply because he's mad at me. See the convos on my and his talk page -- if you have the time, I'd like for someone other than myself to look at this situation. Things appear to be under control right now, so maybe it won't escalate into an ANI case. But I've been nothing but accusatory towards him from the beginning so I don't want to make it worse by continuing any arguing between just the two of us, he has no reason to trust my opinion anymore. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Do you have time for this: Talk:Sultan_ul_Faqr_Publications? If not, that's okay, I'll ask at WP:3O. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:41, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi!
You tagged my runrun.it page, I just wanted to say, I strictly used as a reference the Wrike software wikipedia page. So, if you feel like I'm wrong here, you should tag them as well. As of spam or publicity, I am only submitting information about the software and about its history.
Hope you understand, I am not trying to sell it, the page only lacks reference links to information for the moment. I'm still gathering good ranked links.
Thanks... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgebrail (talk • contribs) 21:08, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Tunisian Arabic
Dear User,
As you are one of the contributors to Tunisian Arabic. You are kindly asked to review the part about Domains of Use and adjust it directly or through comments in the talk page of Tunisian Arabic.
Yours Sincerely,
--Csisc (talk) 13:56, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- I thank you for your edit in Wikipedia. I will try to do a part about Scripts, History and Research in Tunisian Arabic as soon as possible. I will inform you of any update when available so that you can review it immediately. --Csisc (talk) 12:06, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Please review the part about Scripts as soon as you can. --Csisc (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- I ask if you can merge the Morphology and Distinctive Features in one part. --Csisc (talk) 12:05, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
- Please review the part about Scripts as soon as you can. --Csisc (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

- I'm afraid I'm not any kind of an expert on the subject of Tunisian Arabic, or Arabic, at all. My knowledge consists entirely of what I learned from four months of teaching myself Standard Arabic and having read a tiny phrase book with some grammar information on Tunisian Arabic before a vacation there a few years ago. My contributions to the article have consisted of removing material that's non-notable (the STUNdard script) or pure conjecture not supported by the sources (a Punic substrate in Tunisian Arabic). And copyediting your contributions. :-) —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:49, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
- This is just what I want. I need you to copyedit and review my contributions as soon as I am working on them and adjust the references I put and the writing style of each of the parts as soon as they are written so that I can adjust all the work in these months. The information I am working on now are not related to Linguistics excepting for Vocabulary. I had adjusted Domains of Use and Scripts. I am now working on Vocabulary Part. Then, I will work on History, Dialects and Influences parts. So, I think that you can help in this by adjusting the new entries and verifying them efficiently. When I will work on the Linguistic parts of Morphology, Syntax, Phonology and Semantics, I will apply for help from some other users. If the work gets a FA Status, I will submit it to Applied Linguistics and include your name as a coauthor of the work. --Csisc (talk) 13:33, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- I had written a part about Influences and the history of Tunisian before 1901. Try to review them. --Csisc (talk) 14:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
