Hey. Your have some wrong information you keep on posting on wikipedia. Are you a native Emirate citizen? I don’t if you are genuinely misinformed or someone is paying you to do that or what exactly but what you are writing is very biased and contains mistakes and the claims you make are very and is offending us here in Oman to have a neighbouring country that didn’t exist before its independence 1971. (Which before that was called the coast of Oman.) just claim our heritage and history and subscribe it to themselves? I think someone is paying you to do this where do yiu get your sources from if i may ask?

Alexandermcnabb, this user has accused me of being a POV pusher, stonewaller, performing stunts, BS content etc.. and I have ignored them all. I honestly am too busy in real world to deal with some keyboard commando in Wikipedia. It took two admins to revert his copyright edits. He will continue to game the system. I have linked him the Wikipedia:Advice for hotheads page and advised him to take a wiki-break, but he continues to have a very bad case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I wouldn't waste time on him.

Hi - Im the GM for Murdoch Dubai and im trying to update our Wiki page as it was not accurate and not a complete picture. Why is this causing so much discussion? Markbrownnavitas (talk) 09:42, 13 October 2020 (UTC) Markbrownnavitas[reply]

Firstly, User:Markbrownnavitas you're the LAST person who should be editing that page. You're adding content that is not reflective of a Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV is the policy on this) and not sourced, either. You'd be best to leave the page as it is - it's already been marked for deletion and is in danger of being deleted entirely, let alone your efforts to add content that just detract from the page's value. I suggest you revert yourself and leave editing the page to editors who do not have a conflict of interest (WP:COI) as you do. Right now you're breaking lots of rules on Wikipedia and it's not helpful to anyone. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alexandermcnabb;

I would like to deeply regret of what I have done, and I am terribly sorry for my erratic behavior. I know I should have logged in before I do some edits, but nevertheless, I acted bad, I was swearing and threatening you and Praxidicae. I just want to apologize for the two of you, for my uncivilized behavior. Now I am not expecting you to forgive me, I just want to apologize, and move on.

Just a note here that young Mr Blair's article had changed in one significant respect and was reviewed on that basis - and that review has now been restored! Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:34, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya - My attention wandered and I accepted the draft article on Marudamalai (or variant - tbe) without checking the ins and outs of its history so did not spot until after accepting it that you had only just draftified it, so apologies for that. I do think however that although the sourcing is far from brilliant it's enough to get the place past WP:GEOLAND (even in its reduced post-deletionist state - which perhaps I ought not to say, as I don't know where you are on the inclusion-deletion spectrum). Anyway, rather than sending it back to draft again, do you think you could live with the article as a stub (perhaps minus the full details of the bus timetable)? Ingratis (talk) 08:58, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ingratis: No biggie - I was concerned that there are three spellings of the place name in the article and that the articles on the larger geography (Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu etc) do not even mention the place. As a suburb of Coimbatore, it sort of even struggles with the relatively low bar WP:GEOLAND sets, IMHO, and I honestly think for now it was better as a draft or perhaps even a redirect to Coimbatore until such time as someone sources notability. The temple there seems more notable than the place itself! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:32, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wishing I'd left it alone now! I tried to find more refs (in English only) but haven't had much success. You're right about the temple. Marudhamalai etc is actually the name of the hills the temple stands on, and any settlement there is secondary, so I've redirected it to the temple article until such time as someone can strengthen it, and hope you will not find this unacceptable. A redirect to Coimbatore, as you suggest, would obviously be possible, but Coimbatore is clearly a v big place and its article doesn't attempt to list all its constituent parts: far larger places than this are omitted. Ingratis (talk) 03:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ingratis: That redirect didn't work, but that's probably the best solution for now I agree! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I got sidetracked before I could get to it but will tackle it first thing when I'm next on. Ingratis (talk) 08:57, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I work for ADNOC and I recently posted an edit request on Talk:Sultan Al Jaber, who is the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. I noticed that you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject United Arab Emirates/Members, so I thought you would have an interest in implementing the edit request, which contains straightforward edits, mostly updating the article. Thanks so much. CB at ADNOC (talk) 11:21, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya CB at ADNOC - see the article talk page - I made most but not all of the changes you requested. Happy to chat about that, but have left you a little guidance on the talk page of the article. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:26, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks so much for implementing the bulk of my edit request. I am quite happy with the way you chose to leave in or take out information. Changing the subject, I have a question for you: for the sake of trimming the boards section a bit, which seems a bit bloated to me, I am wondering if you think it is a good idea to remove all the board seats he no longer sits on? If you think it is a good idea then please go ahead and take out whatever he was on, but is no longer. Thanks again. CB at ADNOC (talk) 10:37, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CB at ADNOC: - if you would like to confirm which board seats he currently holds I'll try and update the article. It would be best if they were supported by news stories or other sources confirming where he sits/no longer sits, as per WP:OR. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:44, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Unfortunately, I do not have sources that clearly mention each board position that he no longer sits on. (As far as the boards he still sits on, those are already confirmed by sources found on the page.) Since the article already says that he 'was' the chairman, or 'was' on the board, I would just like, for the sake of cleaning up this section of the article, all those board positions that he no longer sits on, removed. In other words, please remove the entire last paragraph of the Board positions section, except for the first sentence. It would make sense to attach that sentence to the end of the second paragraph.

I do have two sources as follows:

• This source, which is already on the page, confirms that he is no longer the chairman of Abu Dhabi Ports. http://tradearabia.com/news/IND_356269.html
• This source says that he is no longer chairman of the UAE National Media Council. https://moiat.gov.ae/en/his-excellency-dr-sultan-bin-ahmed-al-jaber

Thanks for your help. CB at ADNOC (talk) 12:01, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya @CB at ADNOC:. Updated - it makes no sense to remove his former positions (particularly as they are well sourced and factual), but I have tidied up and clarified those already sourced in the article. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thank you for your edits. Even though I would have preferred to have the old boards removed, I understand your position and accept your decision. All the best. CB at ADNOC (talk) 11:04, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

f Alvi1903 (talk) 12:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This is a gentle nudge to ask you to please have a look at my most recent edit request at Talk:Sultan_Al_Jaber#Climate change and honors sections. The request is for a few straightforward edits that I believe you will agree add value to his article. While you are there, could you also look at the revert of a direct edit I made, changing the Infobox:Person to Infobox:Officeholder. I believe that Officeholder is a better choice, and that my change was reverted back to Infobox:person without a good reason. Thanks so much for your consideration.

Hello, even though it is written in the source, Dibai, it is clearly a spelling mistake and it is fair to correct it. Mario1952 (talk) 14:54, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mario1952 - the discussion belongs on the article talk page, not here, but actually no, it's not a spelling mistake. It's an archaic usage and, in a quote from the source, it's appropriate. The British called Dubai all sorts of things - Dubayy, Dobei, Dibai, whatever depending on the writer and the whim - because historically there wasn't a 'standard' transliteration (see my user page!). It's a quote from the source and that's what the source says. It's also an incredibly small niggle to be worrying over - there are bigger issues out there to fix on WP!

My first thoughts were that suggesting a geographical stub article that was referenced to a reasonally reliable source on a geographical feature that is of interest to some on this planet outside of Japan needed to go to draft was a bit extreme when there are multiple articles on significant geographical features if you run into them in a ship in a storm, that have no references that I am aware of. These are noted as class 5 articles, but have for the reason that geography context is important in a encyclopaedia, been left for up to decades, as the facts are actually easy to verify. The correct reason for asking for a rewrite is found on the Japanese Wikipedia and I apologise for not checking on this basic reference for Japanese geographical matters which has a fuller article not available to those with poor Japanese.

Hi. My interest here in Wikipedia encyclopedia is to improve logistics content for the Philippine readers. I have contributed/edited a lot of logistics pages just like what I created - the Transportify page. Could you point out how can I improve it to pass the Wikipedia standards more? I've made it concise and brief enough just to introduce companies. Realmel.martin (talk) 09:15, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Realmel.martin - it's not the quality of the article as such - the guideline here is WP:GNG - the general notability guideline and specifically WP:NCORP - notability of companies. Transportify is not, as per those guidelines, notable. It may be worth looking at other articles where a mention of Transportify would be appropriate - perhaps even in Food delivery! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I've added new references on the page hopefully to increase the notability of the page. I would not like the page to be deleted because I believe the company has notable contribution in the trucking and logistics scene in Asia and the Philippines. I however, is very much open to accept points of revision so I can continue working on the page for it to remain longer. Realmel.martin (talk) 02:30, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the deletion request. Mbali Dhlamini is a young artist. In the few years she has been working, she has produced original works/series.

Hi @Alexandermcnabb,

Thanks for the work you cheerfully put into making Wikipedia content compliant to policies.

On the tagging of Elesin Oba, The King's Horseman for lack of notability, I had undid the tag because the article meets notability. It was directed by of Africa's most recognized directors, premiered at one of the world's most prominent film festivals and is based on a book by a Noble prize winning author. Danidamiobi (talk) 15:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it does, Danidamiobi. Perhaps let other editors be the judge of that - but the FILM needs coverage from independent sources. It doesn't matter if the world's most authory author wrote the book, or if its most directory director directed it - it doesn't even matter if the world's most actory actor acted in it - is IT notable? That means finding sources - references - to the film. See WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:46, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you move it to the draft space? You were VERY vague, only said it was "not ready". If notability is a concern to you, please read the guidelines on miltiary biographies which clearly state that recipients of their state's highest award (Hero of the Soviet Union in this case) are notable. Also, if you think the article needs more sources, you could have imported any of the many sources in it's corresponding Russian and Armenian language counterparts (those articles are WAYY longer and I intended to expand it off the Russian article later). Please consider editing an article before moving it to a draft space which effectively deletes it from the record.--RespectCE (talk) 13:15, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RespectCE - it really doesn't! In any case, until it's reviewed or 90 days old, it never reaches the record.

Well, the talk page of the article may be a better place for this discussion, LaMenta3, but I'd note there are a LOT of primary sources used in the article and that the best place to develop a WIP is in Draft space or a sandbox - articles in mainspace are reviewed by New Page Patrol and it was that process that saw the article tagged - articles can also be draftified or nominated for deletion if their subjects aren't notable - the WP:GNG being the guidance used for that. The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences website or its press releases aren't sources that can demonstraate notability - and VoiceOverXtra could be arguable as an independent source. That leaves very little indeed in the article as it stands to show that the awards pass the GNG - hence the tag! There's every chance that the article in its current state could be nominated for deletion, so I'd get those extra sources in or - if you'd prefer - I can happily pop it into draftspace where you can work on it undisturbed for a while.

Hello,

I've redacted a comment you made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mojo (programming language). Please do not cast aspersions at other editors. I know that running into the same editors over and over again at AFDs can bring frustration and a familiarity that prompts off-handed comments. But there are thoughts that we can think but we don't post for everyone to see. Even if the comment was meant humorously, it can bring down the level of civility in deletion discussions. Please do not do this again. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good grief, @Liz, it's called humour, and @Scope creep would have taken it as such. I have removed the remains of the comment because absent the humour it is simply rude. Please don't do that to me again unless a complaint has been made by another editor. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:03, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: I thought the comment was quite funny and took it in the spirit that it was intended, which was a funny joke. Unfortunately, we are not even allowed that and there seems to be no humour on WP. I got a laugh out of it. Kudos to Alexander McNabb for trying to get a laugh going. scope_creep^Talk 08:15, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I was wondering why you tagged this obvious Wiktionary redirect for speedy deletion. It had just been tagged for CSD yesterday and untagged. It's quite a coincidence for the page to get tagged two days in a row. I guess you haven't encountered a Wiktionary redirect so far because I don't see how CSD G6 was an appropriate criteria for a redirect. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:17, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz, it was indeed my first encounter with one of these and presumably also for the other editor. We live and learn! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I try to find the balance between healthy discussion and WP:BLUDGEON and I note that I have commented a few times. An article that I started is up for deletion and I think and hope it is normal to seek clarification and to try to persuade and I'm trying to be careful around that. Asking you to correct the suggestion that I've replied to "every" comment - there are multiple !votes and even multiple delete !votes that I did not reply to. Just in the interests of accuracy and fairness, please strike "every". In peace, CT55555(talk) 15:53, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

The Purlie Victorious page - which you moved out of the Mainspace a few months back - needs to be brought live today or tomorrow. The Broadway revival begins performances tonight (9/7), and the page cannot wait 4 months for review to go live.

Draft:Purlie Victorious

I’ve edited down any prominent issues with the page, but otherwise, the page now has the basic information on a well regarded 60s broadway play by a prominent playwright that is now receiving a prominent revival.

Can you please review and consider taking live today or tomorrow?

Thanks!

Antoine AntoineČiobreliai (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AntoineČiobreliai - it's likely (IMHO) the film wouldn't pass the notability standards required for a Wikipedia article (as noted in the nomination for deletion, WP:GNG and WP:NFILM would apply here), but the deletion process gives seven days for editors to weigh in and give their views before an admin closes the discussion with a decision - so the process is underway and it's really up for others to decide now whether the film is notable or not. Thanks for creating new articles, if you're ever unsure about notability or suchlike, you can use the new article creation process WP:AfC to get help and guidance on improving articles before they go into Mainspace, where things like deletion nominations can happen!

Hi, thanks for the review. I take your point about the Marston book but I got the information from a historical endnote about the eventual fate of the ship eight years after the novel's timeframe, so it isn't fictional. I hadn't yet looked for internet sources and it sort of got left in. Anyway, the History Press article states the facts about the engine room deaths and the Army payroll so I've used that for the extra citations.

Hi, I checked your mention, but you wrote that Dogsbody (album) didn't meet Wikimedia: Notability (music) standards, but I think this album meets under the first part, "The recording has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it." (Pitchfork, Beat per Minute). And I'll add more additional links to DIY Magazine, Consequence, Sputnikmusic (staff review), and you'll see in Wikimedia: WikiProject Album/Sources that all three are reliable sources. 올해의수상자 (talk) 07:10, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, some time ago I did "try-out" that page curation tool and discovered a number of "false positives", namely the article is tagged as Orphan and it really is not an orphan. So there may be a time-lag on that New Pages feed. After some thought, I can see how people can think "This article is an orphan, so I need to tag it" instead of fixing it, or checking "What links here" (alt-shift-j) to investigate further; or that the article my already have the Orphan tag.

Hello Alexander,

I don't understand the reason behind a second time a notability tag on a Lithuanian short. Could you give me clear reasons? Cherries is the second Lithuania page you tagged but the articles were backed by national and international newspapers/website and were nominated to prestigious and serious international festivals. Cherries was nominated at Short Cannes Festival, the second most important short festival of the world. So to me, it seems that no shorts at all should pass the test if cherries doesn't. AntoineČiobreliai (talk) 13:40, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article talk page is the place for this discussion, really - but the relevant guideline here is WP:NFO, and here I'm informed by criteria 3 - "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking." (my bold) A nomination is not an award - and a festival screening is not necessarily sufficient for criteria 1 - "The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics." Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, other editors may agree/disagree - hence the tag. It's not a badge of dishonour, it's a call for more eyes! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:08, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain the reason for the notability tag at Casimir Mondon-Vidailhet.

Hello. Of course, I already wrote “Keep” in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Decadent (band), but there are parts that are not true in the parts you wrote in the discussion you opened, so I’ll write it to you.

You wrote that the Decadent (band) article doesn't correspond to WP:Band because they didn't win the award, but you could look at no. 8 over there, it says that “the registration of nominations” at the major awards shows notability. (Even if they didn’t win) And I also wrote about no 9 on the deletion discussion page and revised the article, so you could check it.

When I write an article about music, I first check if they correspond to WP:MN and then write it. Thank you for reading the long message, and I'm sorry to bother you. But this time I am writing because I thought some of your sentences are not true. 올해의수상자 (talk) 05:21, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Alexandermcnabb. I’m the editor who wrote (and then rewrote) Edgard&Cooper. I made substantial edits to the page, and another administrator removed your G11 because they didn’t feel it was valid. I think you may have missed some of the changes made, and the admin who deleted the page when prompted (despite the removed G11) may have missed that the page was substantially different. I’m going to resubmit the altered page; just a heads up. Thanks, SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 09:24, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably better off raising this with the deleting admin - a recreation without substantive sourcing, scrupulously neutral language and a clear pass of WP:GNG and/or WP:NCORP is likely to find itself G11'd again, or at AfD absent my intervention, other new page reviewers may well take a similar view.

Hello,

This is the same message as the 3 I sent you before for other Wikipedia pages, and I am not understanding again. Please explain the notability tag on Greta Grinevičiūtė, because all my sources are from either different national Lithuanians newspapers or the most estimed movie festivals. My sources are serious and diverse, including the Golden Globes and the Sundance Festival. And about the Content, Greta Grinevičiūtė is an international dancer, won Lithuanian national theater and dance award multiple times and is in 2023 the main actress of the latest Sundance Directing Award 2023. It seems to me that this is enough to remove the notability tag. Thanks.

I was amused by your example on your User page. The town of Pézenas in the south of France, weakly associated with Molière, has been spelt Pézenas (probably correct), Pézénas, Pezénas, and Pezenas. Once driving through there (around 30 years ago, so what I say may no longer be true) I noticed that all four spellings could be found on the signs around and in the town.

You undid a cited revision clarifying the history of the city, cited from a well-respected historian on the matter, from a much more recently published book, and re-instated a version that is vague. I'd like to know the reasoning behind this before I re-instate the citation/information from al-Salimi's Oman: A Maritime History, and why you consider the cited content to be 'puzzling' over the uncited content. The existing citation does not mention Sohar in the context of Ormuz once, and the Arabic language page for the Sohar Fort corroborates the same content with its own citations. This is a matter of the appropriateness of the reversion and not the content and that's why I do not bring it up on the article talk page. Mehrashehra (talk) 05:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a hill I intend to die on, but you really shouldn't have removed the Hormuz material. Flag it as Cite Needed by all means, but removing it just looks like purposeful obfuscation of historical fact. I'm not saying that was your intent, just how it looks. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:15, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Hormuz material is not supported by the citations and is directly contradicted by added citations. I understand why it would look like vandalism though. I am going to restore the cited material, as well as add additional citations for the relationship between Ormuz and Bani Nabhan during this period. No doubt the existence of the Sohar Fort as constructed by the Hormuzi princes caused some confusion as to the actual control of the city of the time, and I understand why removing this would seem like vandalism. The Arabic-language sources that I'll add will hopefully clear up the confusion: the city remained under the control of Bani Nabhan but their maritime affairs were handled by Hormuz, and Hormuzi ascendancy over the city would not happen until later.

Hello @Alexandermcnabb, Khejarla Fort is an old heritage site and fort in rajasthan. This is famous fort which was built by Maharaja Gopal Das ji. This is a notable thing. Please move this articles to orignal as i created. Thanks in advance Ramulalji (talk) 13:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ramulalji - the problem you have is that Khejarla Fort as it was presented demonstrated no notability - that is, it did not have WP:SIGCOV significant coverage in independent reliable sources - WP:RS. And so it doesn't pass the general notability guideline - WP:GNG and is likely to be deleted. An alternative to deletion is to redirect the article to Khejarla, where the fort is mentioned (I added a little detail on it there, in fact). Can I suggest you take a look at the links to these guidelines I have provided and familiarise yourself with them? That'd help you put together a more enduring article - and by the way, working on that article in Draftspace would be a better idea!!!

Hello Alexandermcnabb.

See what you think about these articles for places in Dubai. Both have been proposed for deletion:

• Al Ttay
• Nakhlat Deira

Note that second opinion ("Originated by now-blocked puppeteer and edited by sockpuppets") is not a binding reason to delete since the articles were created before the puppeteer was blocked. (The rules for this are at WP:G5)

I value your understanding of UAE geography. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 19:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @A. B. - thanks, that's kind of you. They're both rubbish, from the same (I've always assumed 'young man' but that is something of an assumption!) as a whole raft of other misleading and fallacious articles before they got blocked for socking (and 99.9% of their contributions reverted). Basically they got hold of a list of 'place names' from Dubai Municipality and where these locations on the geographical database didn't conform with any basic idea of notability, dressed them up with images and copy/pasted tags to look like 'actual' articles. Al Ttay is an area of warehouses and a car pound, a completely non-notable sub-area of the notable district of Khawaneej - which is currently a redirect to Dubai and not a 'community' as such or per GEOLAND - and Nakhlat Deira is a relatively arbitrary carving off of an area of Northern Deira but not even arguably GEOLAND (as, for instance Al Murar - which reminds me I should add some history to that one!). So I would heartily support Double Grazing's PRODs! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 07:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alexander, thanks for the amend. To be fair, the whole article is a mixture of hearsay, legend and rubbish, but a good idea to keep it as you left it for any readers from the Grauniad who follow the link in today's article about the incident. Ericoides (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ericoides A pleasure. It seemed odd to let the accusation stand with no source! And, yes, that's how I found it, too! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alexander, I'm reaching out regarding the The Myth of Falcon page, where you added a Notability tag last October and suggested adding more information and sources. I've made some updates. The article now contains additional details about the inspiration behind the overture, its structure, and music samples of the folk tune integrated by the composer. Furthermore, I've included several source links as per your recommendation. Could you please review the changes and advise if the Notability tag can be removed? Thank you for your contributions. Best regards, Patrick0506 (talk) 19:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya. Responded on the article talk page. I'm afraid I still don't believe the piece is notable! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Yes, I just answered there too :) Thank you for your input. I am grateful for your help, and I will keep improving. Best! Patrick0506 (talk) 12:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Alexandermcnabb, I hope all is going well. I am a conflict of interest editor who made a request at Talk:Sultan Al Jaber. As an editor who has previously contributed to the page, engaged with another COI editor on the talk page, and is interested in articles related to the Emirates, I was wondering whether you could assess the changes I have put forward. Specifically, my first point, which is that I feel more balance could be given in the article lead by the incorporation of a sentence regarding the international response to the agreement presided over by Sultan Al Jaber at the conclusion of the COP28 summit. Thank you! Dedemocha (talk) 14:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Alexandermcnabb, How are you doing. I would just like to inform you that the whole Yemen situation is very misleading, our origin is Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi. We are members of the bani yas alliance it would be impossible that we are from Yemen. As a local myself ask any local anyone would tell you that this is false information, so as a al bu muhair tribe member myself I feel the obligation to delete anything misleading to my tribe. I really hope you understand and keep it that way because this causes argument between locals, take care and stay safe. Mmmmh0o (talk) 02:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mmmmh0o - You are missing the key point here, which is that information in Wikipedia needs to be based on a reliable source - citations are used for that very reason. Because you 'know' something to be true doesn't mean it's true. The information you are trying to remove is sourced, to a reliable source. Until you provide sources that refute (and they would have to be pretty strong) that source, the information stands. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Nabati, would you be interested in joining a wikiproject on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 16:02, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya @Kowal2701 - and thanks for the invite. I'm not here enough (and only narrowly interested in the Nabati form) to be any use to anyone, so I'd pass. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand the revert with justification "Unexplained removal of sourced content.". Sourced content had been added not removed. Could you please enlighten me? Thanks, -- 79.91.113.116 (talk) 08:15, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right, apologies. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:37, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Alexandermcnabb. I have removed the notability tag. Should further action be required, please consider initiating an AfD. Thank you.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 00:02, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're perfectly at liberty to do so, though I'd have been happier if someone other than the article's author determined its notability. Personally, I'd still question notability and propose a merge with Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind but then that's just me... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
