The Gold STiki Barnstar of Merit
| ||
Congratulations, M.Bitton! You're receiving this barnstar of merit because you recently crossed the 25,000 classification threshold using
STiki.
We thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia at-large and your use of the tool. We hope you continue your ascent up the leaderboard and stay in touch at the talk page. Thank you and keep up the good work! West.andrew.g ( talk) 14:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC) |

Hi, because of lack of time, i was not able to complete the article yesterday, thank you very much for taking the time to explain me how to use the Harv style and for completing (and correcting my mistakes) my edits at Medo-Babylonian conquest of the Assyrian Empire. Cheers. ---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 21:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC) |

It’s always great to see more people fighting vandalism. Have a star! Jeb3 Talk at me here What I've Done 23:41, 12 August 2020 (UTC) |
I see that you check recent edits for appropriateness. I clicked through to see a set of the reversions that you had made for rejected submissions, and I agreed with all of what I saw you had done. It seemed apparent to me through the decisions you made and the comments that you left that you were giving human attention to the decisions you made rather than over-relying on tools and automation. Thanks for that, and thanks especially for the notes you leave. You are doing good review. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC) |

For answering a lot of edit requests and helping to keep the backlog at bay. For a while, I was taking care of that on my own, and it feels nice to see someone else get to it first every now and then! Actualcpscm ( talk) 17:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC) |

Here's a barnstar for your incredible work on the Horn of Africa relief map! Really appreciate the effort you put into it :) KluskaSlaska ( talk) 16:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC) |
Also, on a related note, I would love to do some more map work once I have more time in late summer. Do you have any good guides on how to get started on maps for Wikipedia? :)

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not giving this to you sooner! You have been a great help creating maps for many articles, don't stop doing what you do! – Treetoes023 ( talk) 22:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC) |
Naturally I don't mind. Questions are good. Repeated wrong answers are bad. I would have expected a Frenchman to make that a mistake because nom=noun in that language. For an American to claim that "chair" is a name because that is what we call the thing is ... proof they don't teach grammar there if you ask me. Anyway. We should ping some people into the RfM from Project Algeria and Project Linguistics I suspect. Any other interested parties? Is there a MoS Project? Let's just not ping ppl more than once
It's probably hard to tell but I don't care much about this. (I was pinged to the talk page originally) It's wrong, but so are a lot of things. But to explain my vehemence, I went to high school in France, where they grade you out of 10 and take off a point every time you omit an accent aigu, so certain things are kind of hard-wired for me at this point.
I don't think it is a loanword, or Wikipedia would know what it means. But let's ask some other people. By the way, since I think you know more about Algeria than I do, am I in fact correct in thinking that it is not an ethnicity? Elinruby ( talk) 19:02, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
I got out just in timeNo you didn't. M.Bitton ( talk) 23:26, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
so I can see this when I switch to my phone shortly. All it means is that both you and PJ say it's an ethnic group. You are talking more than he is. I do not want to argue with you. Since McCandlish is saying something somewhat different (on a different basis) I am just saying, as someone who wishes you well, that he is considered an authority on MoS. In case you did not know that and were planning to argue with him about it. Not telling you you shouldn't, if that is really what you want to do, just that it might not be a good idea, I do have a few sources, btw, regarding our last conversation, but I am up to my armpits in something else. Can that wait? Elinruby ( talk) 14:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)ll both
Hi M.Bitton. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Re this comment at Talk:Pied-Noir, actually ngrams does distinguish parts of speech. Remind me later and I’ll point you to some examples; mobile now and too difficult. Mathglot ( talk) 07:18, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey, feel free to ignore this, but you seem to be more familiar with the editor who created it and possibly with the topic too(?), so I thought I'd flag Slavery in al-Andalus for you, in case you're interested. Some of my spot-checks made me think there's some WP:OR, but I don't know the topic well enough to judge if it's merely superficial or if there are bigger concerns to raise. (I left some comments on the talk page about the citations, but not willing to judge the rest.) Again, no worries if this isn't worth your time. R Prazeres ( talk) 20:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, can please help me understand how, when handling an edit request, do you determine that there is a lack of consensus for the request? Much thanks spintheer ( talk) 06:02, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
