Hi Nardog, the edit trail of this editor strongly reminds me of very similar edits by a notorious Korean IP editor that has been haunting us for years. We discussed about them at some time in WPLing or WPLang, and people were not quite sure whether this is subtle vandalism or just a blatant CIR problem. I wonder whether this is the first registered account by that person, or do you remember if there has been an earlier account? In the latter case, we could file an SPI to stop them, otherwise I'll just wait it out until they have reached waring level 4. – Austronesier ( talk) 16:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello Nardog, when you recommended that I get a Wikipedia Library Card I planned to apply for one, but haven't gotten the round tuits until now. To my surprise I just received a notice saying “Congratulations! You are now eligible for the Wikipedia Library.” A few steps later I became the proud owner of a Wikipedia Library Card. Is that coincidence or do you have anything to do with it? ◅ Sebastian 15:05, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
This came to my attention due to your edits related to the word "Kenai" i.e. [1]. Checking further I see you are making similar changes to hundreds of articles. I have to ask where it is you are getting the idea that any pronunciation of "minute", for example is pronounced muy-newt? These seems very odd and I think you should stop doing it and go back and undo many if not most of these changes. Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:42, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
I am a bit confused by all the recent edits to Voiceless dental fricative. I'm quite ignorant on the topic, so I don't know if it needs fixing or not. Someone split English up and you changed it to Western American English 20 Dec 2021. It was just changed to General American English by an anon here. Is this correct/does it need to be looked at? Seems rather suspicious... Cheers Adakiko ( talk) 08:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
Currently when rolling back changes, once we get the summary popup, the text behind reads "rolling back" over a "bold dotted background". Is that normal? Can we either have that or the text, not both? - Klein Muçi ( talk) 17:45, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Now that they seemed bug-free, I went on and gadgetified the scripts for our project to be able to provide a translated interface.
Can you take a quick look and make sure I haven't ruined anything on the process?
One problem that I noticed is that the tooltip for rollback acts strange in SqWiki when you're in S:RecentChanges. Can you activate the gadget in our project and hover over in a rollback button in that page and see what I mean?
I also plan to try utilizing the tag again, maybe it works now that it is a gadget. Do I need to change anything to have the tag as "QuickRollback"?
Finally, can you take a look at our gadgets' definition page and see if everything is all right in regard to the said 2 scripts? They're located in the bottom of the list. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 12:41, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

You edited Voiced velar tap three minutes after it was vandalized by User:89.236.252.20. Your edit was not a simple revert. I restored the version before 89.236.252.20's edits because I don't understand the subject of the article well enough to tell if you were combining a vandalism revert with a correction, or what was going on. Please check the article. I determined the IP edis were based on the use of the word "impossible" combined with using the same word in obviously absurd edits by 89.236.252.20 to Time formatting and storage bugs.

Thank you for your edit in the Village Pump. This post was in fact not meant to be posted twice on the English Village Pump. I also agree with you on the misleading title of the message you removed. Just to give a little background: The English text I accidentally posted here is the fallback text for all wikis that didn't get a translated message, and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible for non-native speakers. I agree that it wasn't perfect, though. -- Wishing you a good weekend, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johanna Strodt (WMDE) ( talk • contribs) 11:41, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

In linguistics, a distinctive feature is the most basic unit of phonological structure that distinguishes one speech sound from another within a language. They are grouped into categories according to the natural classes of segments they describe: major class features, laryngeal features, manner features, and place features. These feature categories are in turn further specified on the basis of the phonetic properties of the segments in question. This Euler diagram illustrates a typical classification of speech sounds, represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with the relationship between manners of articulation and related categories, including distinctive features.

Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Hi Nardog, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe ( talk) 14:09, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Nardog! You've helped me a couple of times in the past with my technical requests and I was thinking that you could also help me in this one. Normally I would just ask at WP:US/R but the problem is that I'm not really sure what to ask for and that's where I was thinking you can be of help more: Help me better formalize my request.
The problem that I'm trying to solve is this: Every once in a while I collaborate with editor Trappist the Monk to update the CS1|2 module for my homewiki. Such an update is usually done by copy-pasting the English version unto the Albanian version and looking at the diff page. The parts where the diff is symmetrical usually mean that those parts contain no changes in code but only changes in translation. These are the parts which you need to ignore and are usually considered just noise because you want to preserve the Albanian translation. All the other non-symmetrical parts mean there are code changes for example, missing code blocks, parts that have been rewritten, etc. What I'm trying to achieve is to have a way to ignore the aforementioned "noise", all the symmetrical parts, and only focus on non-symmetrical changes on the diff page. This would help basically all the wikis that rely on the same module for their citations as I strongly believe the procedure to be more or less the same as what I described. Trappist suggested activating wikEdDiff and it was sort of close to what I was striving for but at the same time it sort of worked on the reverse of what I was hoping for. Symmetrical changes were grouped together on the same line and this made them easier to see while everything else was a bit harder to navigate for my eyes, maybe because I'm not used to the arrows it makes use for. So at this point I'm kinda stuck... - Klein Muçi ( talk) 12:02, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
symmetricalchange
to the <tr>
elements of what you call "symmetrical changes" every time you open a diff, and add a portlet link to the Tools section, clicking of which toggles the class symmetricalchanges-enabled
on <body>
, so that you can customize what you want the "symmetrical changes" to look like in your own CSS. For example, .symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange {
display: none;
}
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange > td {
font-size: 10%;
}
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange {
opacity: 0.4;
}
left
to right
if you want it on the other side): #t-symmetricalchanges {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
symmetricalchange-context
to symmetrical-adjacent context lines. So e.g. .symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange > td,
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange-context > td {
font-size: 10%;
}
I was experimenting around with your script just out of curiosity now and I found out that apparently it doesn't work in other namespaces beside the modules' one. Is that intended? At least it didn't work on the mainspace's and templates' diffs. It hardly creates a problem for me, not to say any, because so far I've only wanted that function just for modules, most specifically for that 1 module, but I was just curious. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 01:26, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

position: relative;
only because I thought the floating link might have simply been hidden for some reason. The link staying is as intended. The script adding the link only after detecting a diff with symmetrical changes is only so that it doesn't show a link that does nothing.

Hi. as some administrators are not familiar with JSON syntax, I developed a script on Persian Wikipedia for easily adding users to AWB whitelist ( new JSON file). You can find the original code at w:fa:MediaWiki:Gadget-AddNewUserToJSON.js (activated as a default gadget for administrators).
There is another whitelist on fawiki for a tool we use to translate articles from English Wikipedia and some of this code is related to that whitelist. I modified the code for English Wikipedia and stored the final code in User:Jeeputer/addOrRemoveUsersFromJson.js. can you please review the code or introduce me to the appropriate page for this application?

This template seems to be protected, so I cannot edit it myself, but
this edit of yours is incorrect, the |title=
parameter should be italicized in this case, given that it is to be completed with the title of the film, not the title of the website or page. For example, for Titanic, the title would be filled |title=Titanic
, not |title=Titanic (1997)
. Hence, the italics are needed as every instance of the |title=
parameter would be italicized. —

Hello Nardog! I wanted to ask you something.
As you may remember, at SqWiki we utilize your script as a gadget. I was using it in the contributions of an IP to rollback some vandalisms lately and the behavior looked kinda strange. I got a rollback link in words which when clicked asked for a confirmation which when given, reloaded the page. I don't remember you script reloading pages or even asking for inline confirmation. Is this something I have missed when I asked for the different spaces when I hoped for your script to be active? Or maybe something has changed lately in that area and this has made your script malfunction? Or... Maybe it was always like this? I'm kinda confused and given the function's nature we're talking about (rollbacking someone else's contributions) is hard for me to do experiments with it. I thought maybe you can help clear out some of that confusion. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 13:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
I've been experiencing problems with IPAInput lately; so I edited my wiki's local version of the script to remove the following code:
(['edit', 'submit'].includes(mw.config.get('wgAction')) ||
document.documentElement.classList.contains('ve-available')) &&
And I simply put the ipaInput()
in the global scope and had it execute, and somehow it always works. You might want to investigate this deeper.

Your edit on "Talk:English words without vowels" may have caused you to feel smug, but it was semi-dumb. Putting a paragraph break between one's comment and user signature is surely not the best Wikipedia talk-page style, and I delete such blank lines when I happen to come across them and it's convenient for me to do so. Wikipedia users are allowed to edit the comments of other Wikipedia users with respect to minor technical formatting issues (indentation level, etc). You've been editing my comments with respect to what you perceive as minor technical formatting issues, so I'm not sure why you seek to deny to me the same privilege which you allow to yourself...

Hello, Nardog!
Some time ago you helped the SqWiki community set up the aforementioned scripts-now-turned-gadgets and for me they've become the main way I patrol recent changes. I was wondering if we could have a similar functionality in regard to thanking people (QuickThank?) for their specific edits from the recent changes page as well? Something like a heart appearing beside edits, the click of which thanks the user who made said edit for, well, that edit. Does that make sense?
I mention Special:RecentChanges because that's what I mostly use myself but ideally such a thank function would appear in other places where you can see lists of edits and thank people for those edits (similar to how QuickAccept/Rollback work). —

The style of threading seen in your change regularly draws complaints from people who find it more difficult to read the page when a series of separate comments all begin with exactly the same number of colons. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:45, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't see anything in the IPA handbook that specifies that Greek-encoded letters must be used. In fact, I'm reasonably certain that these Latin letters were added precisely because of their use in IPA: see the proposal document here: [2]. Sections 5.1 and 5.3. There are also other reasons why it's a bad idea to mix scripts like this, too, but I don't think it's necessary to go into that. Theknightwho ( talk) 12:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand your revert. The vowel is not long, as demonstrated by Wiesel in his recording of his name, so /iː/ would clearly mislead almost all WP users. And Collins has /i/ https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/wiesel in the correct pronunciation with the stress on the second syllable (US, not UK). And this vowel is unstressed, so why would it be wrong to use a weak vowel symbol? We use /i/ in our English IPA help page for "mediocre". Isn't that the same kind of weak /i/ as in Wiesel? -- Espoo ( talk) 21:56, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Nardog, the edit trail of this editor strongly reminds me of very similar edits by a notorious Korean IP editor that has been haunting us for years. We discussed about them at some time in WPLing or WPLang, and people were not quite sure whether this is subtle vandalism or just a blatant CIR problem. I wonder whether this is the first registered account by that person, or do you remember if there has been an earlier account? In the latter case, we could file an SPI to stop them, otherwise I'll just wait it out until they have reached waring level 4. – Austronesier ( talk) 16:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello Nardog, when you recommended that I get a Wikipedia Library Card I planned to apply for one, but haven't gotten the round tuits until now. To my surprise I just received a notice saying “Congratulations! You are now eligible for the Wikipedia Library.” A few steps later I became the proud owner of a Wikipedia Library Card. Is that coincidence or do you have anything to do with it? ◅ Sebastian 15:05, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
This came to my attention due to your edits related to the word "Kenai" i.e. [1]. Checking further I see you are making similar changes to hundreds of articles. I have to ask where it is you are getting the idea that any pronunciation of "minute", for example is pronounced muy-newt? These seems very odd and I think you should stop doing it and go back and undo many if not most of these changes. Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:42, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
I am a bit confused by all the recent edits to Voiceless dental fricative. I'm quite ignorant on the topic, so I don't know if it needs fixing or not.

Now that they seemed bug-free, I went on and gadgetified the scripts for our project to be able to provide a translated interface.

One problem that I noticed is that the tooltip for rollback acts strange in SqWiki when you're in S:RecentChanges. Can you activate the gadget in our project and hover over in a rollback button in that page and see what I mean?
I also plan to try utilizing the tag again, maybe it works now that it is a gadget. Do I need to change anything to have the tag as "QuickRollback"?
Finally, can you take a look at our gadgets' definition page and see if everything is all right in regard to the said 2 scripts? They're located in the bottom of the list. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 12:41, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

You edited Voiced velar tap three minutes after it was vandalized by User:89.236.252.20. Your edit was not a simple revert. I restored the version before 89.236.252.20's edits because I don't understand the subject of the article well enough to tell if you were combining a vandalism revert with a correction, or what was going on. Please check the article. I determined the IP edis were based on the use of the word "impossible" combined with using the same word in obviously absurd edits by 89.236.252.20 to Time formatting and storage bugs.

In linguistics, a distinctive feature is the most basic unit of phonological structure that distinguishes one speech sound from another within a language. They are grouped into categories according to the natural classes of segments they describe: major class features, laryngeal features, manner features, and place features. These feature categories are in turn further specified on the basis of the phonetic properties of the segments in question. This Euler diagram illustrates a typical classification of speech sounds, represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with the relationship between manners of articulation and related categories, including distinctive features.

Hi Nardog, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe ( talk) 14:09, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Nardog! You've helped me a couple of times in the past with my technical requests and I was thinking that you could also help me in this one. Normally I would just ask at WP:US/R but the problem is that I'm not really sure what to ask for and that's where I was thinking you can be of help more: Help me better formalize my request.
The problem that I'm trying to solve is this: Every once in a while I collaborate with editor Trappist the Monk to update the CS1|2 module for my homewiki. Such an update is usually done by copy-pasting the English version unto the Albanian version and looking at the diff page. The parts where the diff is symmetrical usually mean that those parts contain no changes in code but only changes in translation. These are the parts which you need to ignore and are usually considered just noise because you want to preserve the Albanian translation. All the other non-symmetrical parts mean there are code changes for example, missing code blocks, parts that have been rewritten, etc. What I'm trying to achieve is to have a way to ignore the aforementioned "noise", all the symmetrical parts, and only focus on non-symmetrical changes on the diff page. This would help basically all the wikis that rely on the same module for their citations as I strongly believe the procedure to be more or less the same as what I described. Trappist suggested activating wikEdDiff and it was sort of close to what I was striving for but at the same time it sort of worked on the reverse of what I was hoping for. Symmetrical changes were grouped together on the same line and this made them easier to see while everything else was a bit harder to navigate for my eyes, maybe because I'm not used to the arrows it makes use for. So at this point I'm kinda stuck... - Klein Muçi ( talk) 12:02, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
symmetricalchange
to the <tr>
elements of what you call "symmetrical changes" every time you open a diff, and add a portlet link to the Tools section, clicking of which toggles the class symmetricalchanges-enabled
on <body>
, so that you can customize what you want the "symmetrical changes" to look like in your own CSS. For example, .symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange {
display: none;
}
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange > td {
font-size: 10%;
}
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange {
opacity: 0.4;
}
left
to right
if you want it on the other side): #t-symmetricalchanges {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
symmetricalchange-context
to symmetrical-adjacent context lines. So e.g. .symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange > td,
.symmetricalchanges-enabled .symmetricalchange-context > td {
font-size: 10%;
}
I was experimenting around with your script just out of curiosity now and I found out that apparently it doesn't work in other namespaces beside the modules' one. Is that intended? At least it didn't work on the mainspace's and templates' diffs. It hardly creates a problem for me, not to say any, because so far I've only wanted that function just for modules, most specifically for that 1 module, but I was just curious. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 01:26, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

position: relative;
only because I thought the floating link might have simply been hidden for some reason. The link staying is as intended. The script adding the link only after detecting a diff with symmetrical changes is only so that it doesn't show a link that does nothing.

Hi. as some administrators are not familiar with JSON syntax, I developed a script on Persian Wikipedia for easily adding users to AWB whitelist ( new JSON file). You can find the original code at w:fa:MediaWiki:Gadget-AddNewUserToJSON.js (activated as a default gadget for administrators).
There is another whitelist on fawiki for a tool we use to translate articles from English Wikipedia and some of this code is related to that whitelist.

This template seems to be protected, so I cannot edit it myself, but
this edit of yours is incorrect, the |title=
parameter should be italicized in this case, given that it is to be completed with the title of the film, not the title of the website or page. For example, for Titanic, the title would be filled |title=Titanic
, not |title=Titanic (1997)
. Hence, the italics are needed as every instance of the |title=
parameter would be italicized. —

Hello Nardog! I wanted to ask you something.
As you may remember, at SqWiki we utilize your script as a gadget. I was using it in the contributions of an IP to rollback some vandalisms lately and the behavior looked kinda strange. I got a rollback link in words which when clicked asked for a confirmation which when given, reloaded the page. I don't remember you script reloading pages or even asking for inline confirmation. Is this something I have missed when I asked for the different spaces when I hoped for your script to be active? Or maybe something has changed lately in that area and this has made your script malfunction? Or... Maybe it was always like this? I'm kinda confused and given the function's nature we're talking about (rollbacking someone else's contributions) is hard for me to do experiments with it. I thought maybe you can help clear out some of that confusion. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 13:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
I've been experiencing problems with IPAInput lately; so I edited my wiki's local version of the script to remove the following code:
(['edit', 'submit'].includes(mw.config.get('wgAction')) ||
document.documentElement.classList.contains('ve-available')) &&
And I simply put the ipaInput()
in the global scope and had it execute, and somehow it always works. You might want to investigate this deeper.

Your edit on "Talk:English words without vowels" may have caused you to feel smug, but it was semi-dumb. Putting a paragraph break between one's comment and user signature is surely not the best Wikipedia talk-page style, and I delete such blank lines when I happen to come across them and it's convenient for me to do so. Wikipedia users are allowed to edit the comments of other Wikipedia users with respect to minor technical formatting issues (indentation level, etc). You've been editing my comments with respect to what you perceive as minor technical formatting issues, so I'm not sure why you seek to deny to me the same privilege which you allow to yourself...

I read the article which deals with this accent, and, accordingly, I didn't understand whether this accent was chiefly British or American. Listening to Katherine Hepburn convinced me that this accent was predominantly British, to say nothing of Billie Burke. I'm a novice in phonetics, so could you help me with answering this question?

Hello, Nardog!
Some time ago you helped the SqWiki community set up the aforementioned scripts-now-turned-gadgets and for me they've become the main way I patrol recent changes. I was wondering if we could have a similar functionality in regard to thanking people (QuickThank?) for their specific edits from the recent changes page as well? Something like a heart appearing beside edits, the click of which thanks the user who made said edit for, well, that edit. Does that make sense?
I mention Special:RecentChanges because that's what I mostly use myself but ideally such a thank function would appear in other places where you can see lists of edits and thank people for those edits (similar to how QuickAccept/Rollback work). —

QuickThank[ResourceLoader|dependencies=mediawiki.api,mediawiki.util,user.options]|QuickThank.js
?,user.options
but my gosh, isn't it too early to make it a gadget? We haven't even pinned down what it should do. Page history and logs already come with thank buttons. I decided against making it run on PendingChanges btw, because the diffs aren't always of one edit and it complicates things considerably.

for ButtonizeReview needs to be removed if QuickThank is a gadget.

The style of threading seen in your change regularly draws complaints from people who find it more difficult to read the page when a series of separate comments all begin with exactly the same number of colons. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:45, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't see anything in the IPA handbook that specifies that Greek-encoded letters must be used. In fact, I'm reasonably certain that these Latin letters were added precisely because of their use in IPA: see the proposal document here: [2]. Sections 5.1 and 5.3. There are also other reasons why it's a bad idea to mix scripts like this, too, but I don't think it's necessary to go into that. Theknightwho ( talk) 12:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Following discussion at talk:Glyph#Article scope and set index, I have edited the article heavily. If you have a moment, I would welcome your expert eye on the result, please? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 16:01, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't understand your revert. The vowel is not long, as demonstrated by Wiesel in his recording of his name, so /iː/ would clearly mislead almost all WP users. And Collins has /i/ https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/wiesel in the correct pronunciation with the stress on the second syllable (US, not UK). And this vowel is unstressed, so why would it be wrong to use a weak vowel symbol? We use /i/ in our English IPA help page for "mediocre". Isn't that the same kind of weak /i/ as in Wiesel? -- Espoo ( talk) 21:56, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
It seemed that the /oʊ/ /ʌ/ merger before /l/ which Merriam-Webster mentioned was notable enough to be included in its pronunciation guide. So, Merriam-Webster, the dictionary of General American is not on General American English according to you? -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 12:21, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
