Grammar changes[edit]

Changing "team are" to "team is" is actually a MOS:ENGVAR change... AnonMoos (talk) 09:50, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of the Sarah Hegazi article[edit]

The article on Sarah Hegazi was deleted. According to reliable sources BBC Arabic and Raseef22, this has caused some controversy. There is a paragraph on the deletion and controversy in the Evaluation and criticism section. Please discuss possible changes to coverage of the event here.

Arabic Wikipedia Page[edit]

Hi,

Whom do I need to coordinate with to put in an Arabic Wikipedia Page? Requesting your assistance, please.

Thank you, Dsouza Josh (talk) 10:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Dsouza_Josh[reply]

If you have relevant Arabic-language skills, and have useful information to contribute in a way that respects the rules, then you don't have to ask anyone's permission -- you can start editing right away. If you lack those prerequisites, it would probably be better not to get directly involved, though there's an "Embassy" page for non-Arabic speakers. AnonMoos (talk) 19:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blackout[edit]

Arabic Wikipedia just announced a blackout in support of Palestine, so I wonder why that's not mentioned in the article yet Gattor1 (talk) 17:14, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality lost?[edit]

Isn't the changing of the colors of the wikipedia symbol to the colors of the Palestinian flag violates Wikipedia's professed principals of Neutrality? Hebrew Wikipedia's symbol isn't colored Blue-White... 89.208.62.122 (talk) 10:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to raise a formal complaint, you'd have to do so somewhere on Meta.Wikimedia.org, not here. Anyway, they were the colors of the 1917 Flag of the Arab Revolt before Palestine, and are known as Pan-Arab colors... AnonMoos (talk) 14:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah but you didn't answer their question 78.147.35.211 (talk) 04:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Those colors are pan-Arab. But the text they added in the main page clearly states that Arabic Wikipedia stands in solidarity with Palestine. A formal complaint? Much good that would do. I am a regular Wikipedia donor because I believe in Wikipedia's mission statement. It's sad to see those core principals erode."

"Basically the Arab version of the English "pseudoscience effort"

Pls do mention this too out there too"

Two comments made by me and earlier,someone else (the other guy's, atleast was pretty much on-topic, on-discussion) were reverted as SOAPBOXing for grounds that are pretty much only criticising enwiki or wiki in general when there is certainly stuff to criticize even on enwiki 2402:E280:3D1D:5B0:A931:9CB8:4420:455 (talk) 08:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can say so, but they whitewashed Hamas's crimes there so maybe place this concern to all

On the other hand, if this is true: [1] there's definitely a violation there. AnonMoos (talk) 23:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
