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? The UAE library? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orelic ( talk • contribs) 04:15, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply

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

Hello Alexandermcnabb,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 811 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 861 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

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

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

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'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

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

Hello! Would you mind elaborating on your rationale for placing this tag? The independent sources I've used are largely industry-specific sources, but their coverage seemed pretty substantial to me. Additionally, this article is still a work in progress, and there are additional sources I haven't yet used, so I would be interested in your interpretation of the sourcing component of the notability guideline, as it seems we may not see it quite the same way. Thanks! LaMenta3 ( talk) 20:26, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply

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.

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.

Hi!

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

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.

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."

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.

Hi there @ Alexandermcnabb. I’m the editor who wrote (and then rewrote) Edgard&Cooper.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Hello Alexandermcnabb. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of 2024 Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I've taken out all the stuff about the roadshows, which was the spammiest part. What's left is still a bit promotional, but I think that's mainly language. The source range indicates that this is more than just spam. . Thank you. Ged UK  10:20, 20 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, Alexandermcnabb!

Please, when you have a chance, check whether the topic of this article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline. I have added more sources. Thank you in advance. -- Alex091981 ( talk) 16:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC) reply

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

		The New Page Reviewer's Iron Award
		For over 360 article reviews during 2023. Well done! Keep up the good work and thank you! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Let's collaborate to make necessary improvements and ensure the article meets Wikipedia's standards. Syed Shaveer ( talk) 19:15, 20 February 2024 (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

Hello Alexandermcnabb,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
