Greetings, Amire80/Archive April 2013 - March 2017! If we have not met, I'm AutomaticStrikeout. I've come here to ask you to take part in the survey at User:AutomaticStrikeout/Are admins interested in a RfB?. I am trying to gauge the general level of interest that administrators have in running for cratship, as well as pinpoint the factors that affect that interest level. Your input will be appreciated. Happy editing, AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 02:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Amir! I'm looking at an edit request on Talk:Israel Hershberg, and I'd like your assistance if possible. I don't understand what they're getting at so I'm declining the request for now, but they did include a few references. Normally I'd give the material a quick look to see if there's anything relevant, but it's all in Hebrew - which I know absolutely nothing about. I got your name off of the local embassy page... could you take a quick look and see if there's anything there that makes sense to you? Thanks! --ElHef (Meep?) 03:36, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article West Jerusalem is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Jerusalem (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Yoninah (talk) 09:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I had an old account with name Guglani since perhaps 2005, but long back i forgot its password and email associated was closed. subsequently i registered as Guglani1 which is working well. Meanwhile my accouts at other wikis registered as Guglani were also working well.I never used Guglani at en.wiki after i registerd as Guglani1.Meanwhile accounts at other wikis as Guglani have been ticked by me as Global account without ticking at en.wiki.Now some people at wiki have attached my Guglani1 a/c with my old Guglani a/c ,i am happy with it.But can I request , that my global a/c on other wikis as Guglani can also be attached and in so doing I should not loose all the old editorial history on wiki projects for these two accounts although these are at different wikis.Confusion comes on some wikis like en.wikibooks where i get user id as Guglani and Guglani1 both , how to sort out this cofusion.--Guglani1 (talk) 12:45, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable
". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kuvempu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rashtrakavi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Since the discussion at MediaWiki_talk:Common.css#IPA_font is a bit old, I didn't know if I'd get an answer there. When you say Gentium is supported by WP, did you mean Gentium Plus, or the original font? And can you point me to where it's supported? This is all new to me.
Also asked you what you meant at Help_talk:IPA#IPA_font.
Thanks, — kwami (talk) 20:08, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
As a subscriber to one of The Wikipedia Library's programs, we'd like to hear your thoughts about future donations and project activities in this brief survey. Thanks and cheers, Ocaasi t | c 15:23, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I'm confused about your recent edits to Purification Rundown. You added a few 'not in citation' templates to sources, but a quick check shows that the info is indeed in the sources attached. Was this a mistake? Grayfell (talk) 22:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Could you please do something about this user they personally attacked me on I Knew You Were Trouble http:https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/index.php?lang=en&q=I_Knew_You_Were_Trouble&diff=592476993&oldid=592476587 as he stated "Someone needs to read WP:Vandalism, and learn what the hell they're talking about. It's a fullstop, there's no notability to it whatsoever." and I do not appreciate that they did that. So please could you do something? Thanks! 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:00, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes that was a personal attack "Someone needs to read..." that right a personal attack on where you posted it and I did not break the "edit war" rule though I got accused of it and you are the one removing notable information the song is stylized as I Knew You Were Trouble. and is notable so people know it is not an error as it is on multiple releases but you want to play WP:IDONTLIKEIT and post personal attacks on me on a revert that only strengthens what I was posting on your talk page. 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:06, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Again do not post stuff like that in an edit summary it is a personal attack, you have to post stuff like that on talk page. I am not ducking no responsibility for my actions you are because you were reverting notable and sourced information and then personally attack me saying Someone needs to read while reverting my notable and sourced information. So who is ducking out of responsibility for their actions, oh, it would be you. Sorry. 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Again do not post stuff like that in an edit summary it is a personal attack, you have to post stuff like that on talk page. And uh, do not know how I "violated WP:3RR" as I did not revert over three times. Here you go again making stuff up to try and not take responsibility for your actions. Keep piling on there Lukeno94, you prove more and more that I did nothing wrong and you did. :D congrates on continuing to make my point for me! 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I did not revert you are assuming so keep piling my case for me. You are doing a great job. 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:45, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Copy, paste and repost is not a revert. Sorry. 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
There were only three reverts not four Sorry. Copy paste and repost does not count as a revert you just do not like that I am winning as you are now throwing insults here as well asking if I a competence and I am, you just do not like that I will not bow to your will or play your game. Sorry but just keep piling on yourself as I said on my talk page all I did was "I did not revert anything or delete any summery all I did was copy the information post hit the edit button on the top of the page pasted it and hit Save page. That is not a revert." Also I removed the fourth as there is no fourth. Sorry. 184.58.24.163 (talk) 14:53, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amir, the story you added is, I think, too short for a secondary main. It could be an In brief, if Ed decides it's appropriate. Readers shouldn't have to divert to the Euromaiden article to find out what it means. If you could add "has" before "already? Can a single blog be taken as representative of the Georgian WP community?
Ed will be up in a few hours' time and will want to publish soon after. Could you take it up with him? NAN is usually prepared off-wiki. Thanks. Tony (talk) 12:35, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Amire :) would you please add urdu interwiki link to this template? Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 15:05, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Basically this tool has been developed for urdu wiki, but I am not a professional programmer and have only basic knowledge about it. So I would like that you should work on it and add more enhancement and sophistication, so that entire wikipedia community may use it in any language :) I have added local dictionary to handle some words that need to be translated not to be transliterated, such as district, province etc. This is a simple HTML code, you may see it here temporarily :) Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 13:37, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello there, It seems to me the subject of the article is actively involved in writing and editing the article and has turned it into a personal résumé. Even the Wikipedia's automated service has picked up on that, "Grig8wan9rat7ok4 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic". When I removed the second paragraph of the main article (on Behrouz "Brian" Vala Nahed) for being laughably promotional, it was quickly reverted. Even on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Vala Nahed's page, the user "Grig8wan9rat7ok4" removed/edited the comments that he did not like, so I clicked on "View history" in order to undo his edits, but was unable to do so, as it asked for it to be done "manually". The consensus seems to be that the article should be deleted for good. As an administrator, you have the authority to remove it. Thank you for your assistance.

I moved :ru:File:Filatov_A.V.jpg to commons (as it got uploaded to en-wiki, and we only need one copy) - easy part. Adding {{now commons}} to the Russian page has not worked as I thought it would - any change you could fix the template - other foreign language wikis do understand the {{now commons}} template - but the editing system on ru is rather odd, so not sure if I've put in correctly. Thanks. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:24, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
[1] has been reverted, can you describe how it fixed white spaces? Remember, you are not really encouraged to make edits that have no effect on the content or body of the article. You can remove white spaces if you want, but you should also make other changes on the page. OccultZone (Talk) 13:45, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Amire80
I saw a message about Boeginees Lontara script at your translatewiki page. I normally work at nl.wiktionary and I had added a bunch of Bugis words from Matthes dictionary. nl:wikt:Categorie:Woorden in het Boeginees In Lontara. I had downloaded Saweri and I could see them, cut and paste them and they were visible on wikitionary. All in firefix on a Windows machine. I even put a link to the saweri page for people who wanted to check my work. A few 'updates' later and everything reverted to illegible squares. I redownloaded saweri and another font TULISAN, restarted my computer, but nothing works. As I understand little about such technicalities, my question is simply: help!?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advanceJcwf (talk) 17:22, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amire80,
We're trying to chase up some information related to our Hall of Residence at the Australian National University, Bruce Hall. The page has been deleted (it was at en/Bruce_Hall_(Australian_National_University) ). We're not necessarily asking for it to be undeleted (I understand it may not meet the guidelines), but there was some content on that page related to the Bruce Hall Players (our theatre company) that may not be recorded anywhere else.
Is there any way you could send me the text for that page so that we can extract that information for our alumni network please?
Bruce1979 (talk) 09:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I would request to develop such extension for all languages that create an extra tab with read, edit or history tab, or anywhere else, when any confirmed user hits that button, this extension auto corrects all spelling mistakes existed on the page.
It may be useful to create a special page for those wikis they enabled it, where they put and enter the wrong and right spellings.
Hope you would think about it :-) Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 13:10, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
User:Amire80, shalom! There is currently a dispute between me and a Filipino editor (see: User PacificWarrior101) about what is considered worthy or not worthy of publishing on a WP article page because of what may or may not be perceived by others as distasteful (bad taste). See the editor's Talk page, the sub-title "Kamusta ka na." The editor in question has posted a Commons photograph of Israeli singer, Dana International, a photograph which I personally feel shows bad taste and tends to "flout" the dignity and self-respect of the Yemenite Jewish people. I voiced my concerns to the editor about my feelings of repugnancy evoked by the picture on a main article page that treats on ethnicity, namely Yemenite Jews. Most Yemenite Jews will feel a sense of shame by seeing this photo of "Dana International" on the page that speaks specifically about them as a people - and who, by the way, are mostly conservative to religious. Can you please help me resolve this dispute with User PacificWarrior101? I sense that our Filipino editor is recalcitrant to sound-reason. Perhaps you can give me some guidelines as to how it is best to resolve this issue.Davidbena (talk) 12:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Amir. In our current discussion on the Yemenite Jews Talk page, can you agree on a compromise that will have Dana's photo placed deeper down in the article, rather than at the very top in the collage?Davidbena (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

While casually reading Romanization of Persian I came across a reference to "UniPers", and followed the link... which went nowhere. It looks like the link was to a section of that article that you removed. I know nothing about the topic, so I'm not questioning your judgment in doing that. Unfortunately though the article defines the official Iranian Latin script and the Bahá'i in terms of UniPers, without defining the latter, so a lot of information has gone missing. I've removed the link, but someone who knows about the topic will have to fix it properly. Hairy Dude (talk) 23:12, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

I complained on the Talk-page of British Jews that they have decided to remove the name and picture of the best female British scientist Rosalind Franklin from the list of prominent British Jews, but they have ignored my request to reverse this edit.My comment is as follows:I find it really strange that a Wikipedia editor has decided to remove the name of DNA pioneer, and possibly the best UK female scientist, (i.e. Rosalind Franklin) from the main pictures of prominent British Jews. I think her picture and name should have not been removed, especially when there are only 2 women pictures left (out of 12 pictures). Please could someone reverse this edit and add the late Rosalind Franklin's picture to the list of prominent British Jews.
Could you please add Rosalind Franklin's picture to the list of prominent British Jews (which was removed for unexplained reasons [perhaps jealousy])? 92.16.10.252 (talk) 08:55, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Amire80, Thanks for help me, I don't speak English very well, but I understand this language.
First; We have new changes in Wiki nahuatl, the international code is correct (.nah), we use this intercode for all Nahuatl variants. In Wikipedia is named Nāhuatl, but native Nahuatl speakers say Nahuatlahtolli (Nahuatl language or Mexican language), nahuatl is a person or Nahuatl speaker, this is similar Runa simi (People language in Quechua), Avañe'e (Guarani language) or Aymar aru (Aymara language).
Second; We need change the old scripture by simple scripture in nahuatl: Classical Nahuatl use diferent alphabet ( Ā ā, Ē ē, Ī ī, Ō ō, Ç ç), but new Nahuatl variants don't use linguistic symbols, this is complicated write in PC; Nahuatl speakers prefer a Simple Alphabet; por example: Xōchitl, Māçatl, Nāuatl (old scripture) and Xochitl, Mazatl, Nahuatl (simple alphabet).
Their; We have change Spanish and English texts in Huiquipedia for Nahuatl texts.
Fourth; We need use a Classical simple scripture without use diferents texts in other Nahuatl variants.
I am working about it, also I am order all categories in Nahuatl wikipedia. We have in contact Amire.--Marrovi (talk) 20:32, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, can you please take a look at phab:T109157, you are the one who created the main page at beta eswiki, so maybe you know more. The problem is, that this wiki is very strongly affected by spambots (I don't know why this wiki, when im blocking these bots, and deleted that spam), and not used by any user (except me), so I don't see any user who needs this wiki, but I want to ask your project first, because I don't want to decide it, if it is unclear that someone still needs it. If your project don't need it, we will lock the database there, via siteadmin, so nobody can do anything there, no editing, deleting, blocking and so on, just read. If there is a new reason to use this wiki later, you or others can ask me oder another beta steward or developer, than someone of us can unlock the database.

hello Amire80, I was really digging ur comment on Rotten Tomatoes...as a serious film fan (i used to work as an animator) i've always felt that Rotten Tomatoes is full of "hipster attitude." They seem to emulate disrespect for arts & film as a "cool" way to promote themselves, a sad sign of our times-- a sarcastic hipster signature of ego. In a related sense, I fist saw ur wiki-work in ur post of an Aleppo Codex image for an article describing Koheleth--yes I'm Jewish also & was recently listening to that most classic-rock song from my Jewish-summer-camp days, performed by The Byrds [originally written by Pete Seger, truly a Spiritual & deeply human dude], the song "Turn Turn Turn."
It's lyrics are from the book of Koheleth, thus in a way tying-into the vanity of hipsters like Rotten Tomatoes. Truly a song of consciousness-raising that emerged from that gr8 folk-hero music scene of the 60s/70s. It was good to see a comment on the enigmatic nature of Koheleth in a quote from that wiki with the insight, "On this reading, Koheleth's sayings are goads, designed to provoke dialogue and reflection in his readers, rather than to reach premature and self-assured conclusions." I appreciate the deeply human/honest approach that no matter who/what Koheleth is, was or was not saying, he certainly intended to bring forth an attitude of thinking and pondering even though most critics & philosophers tend only to dissect the book along the lines of it's concepts of futility & burn-out (such as "all is vanity"). Ok, hope to chat w/ you in the future, peace, Shalom, Rob M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R0b's cloudy constructs (talk • contribs) 08:10, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
If you wish to stop receiving these notices, you may remove yourself from this list. Please note that doing so will not prevent you from losing OTRS rights and access after the 31 December 2015 deadline.
Thank you,

Hi there,
I created a new page for the CEO of Brisbane City Council, but it has become deleted for lack of notability and content. Would you be able to grab me a copy of the content for when I get enough time to commit to developing the page to an adequate level.

Привет, Амир, мы слегка познакомились с тобой на последней Викимании :). У меня тут возникла проблема с твоим замечательным гаджетом. После попытки перевести статью с длинным многословным названием с русского на белорусский, мой контент-транслейтор подавился и теперь не работает, к сожалению. Я вижу вот такую строчку в адресной строке https://be.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&campaign=contributionsmenu&to=be, меню то, которое справа в верхнем углу Хомелка размовы настройкі Бэта назіранае уклад Выйсці, а весь остальной экран белый. Это в be.wiki. При этом, например, в рувики всё работает. Что работает, это хорошо, но жутко неудобно, что приходится туда-сюда бегать. Есть идеи, что может помочь? Что я делала: отключала и включала обратно эту опцию в настройках, перелогинивалась. Не помогло. С уважением, Оля.--Хомелка (talk) 13:28, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Amire80. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Amire80.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I was directed to you by Whatamidoing (WMF) to figure out how I can make languages relevant to Iran get listed in the Persian language Wikipedia. Right now languages such as Finnish are shown in the initial list (for me), whereas languages such as Kurdish and Azeri are not shown in that short list. Reading the article on Compact language links, I understand that these choices are based on where the reader is located. However, I was wondering if there was a way to bypass this in a way that would make indigenous languages appear by default in Persian Wikipedia regardless of the reader's location? In addition to being relevant for Iranians and Afghans outside of their respective countries, it would also be helpful for those behind proxies. Is this possible?

Hello, Amire80. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Amir,
There is some need to look at the way the N'ko incubator was set up. Editors including Youssoufkadialy are seeing some variation between what they edit and what they view. Directionality issues and right-justification might also need fixing.

Hello Amire80, Thank you very much for your contribution to Template:Refn/doc for adding template parameters table through this edit. I made a good faith edit at documentation page & tried rearranging the 'see also' link & template wp referencing at the bottom of the page, below this table. But on doing so,'template parameters table' contents are visible only inside the editor box, but is not visible in the WP page. So I put it back in the old spot. That did not help to make it visible again. (It is visible in Template:Refn page).If you could spare some time, can you please take a look to sort it out, and display it again on doc page. Thanks in advance, by 2know4power (talk) 00:14, 16 February 2017 (UTC).
