Hi Ro, I don't know if its best to reach you here or at the commons so I'm contacting you at both. I was hoping you could do a burdensome favor for me. I've been working on improving the Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo) article lately and noticed that it has a pretty lousy map in the infobox ( File:Bahri Dynasty 1250 - 1382 (AD).PNG) Seeing that you created a great map for the Ayyubid dynasty article, would you be able to create a similar map (greatest extent) for the Mamluks, if your schedule allows? The following link gives a decent idea of the extent of the Mamluk Sultanate, at least under the Bahri dynasty: [1]. If you can't view the link, I can upload a screenshot of it. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 00:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
P.S. The map on this link is even more detailed: [2]. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 01:36, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey Ro, I decided to start a draft page about the administrative divisions of the Mamluk sultanate. Whenever you have the chance, could you scan pages 11 and 13–15 (you already provided p. 12 above) from the Urban life book and link them here? Those pages will be very useful for basic info about the Syrian provinces. Cheers -- Al Ameer ( talk) 00:42, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello Ro4444 :)! - I'm kinda curious, what is the name the of the program(s) you use to make those excellent maps of yours? [3] [4] -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 14:13, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ro, I want to start expanding the Burji period of the Mamluk Sultanate, but I'm having an issue with sources. I was curious if you owned or had full access to Carl Petry's The Cambridge History of Egypt, Volume 1, particularly the chapter "The regime of the Circassian Mamluks" written by Jean-Claude Garcin that begins on page 290. If so, would you be able to scan the pages 290-308? The first couple pages discuss what Garcin calls the "four major phases" of the Burji period which will give me a good frame of reference to outline the Burji section of the Mamluks article. Interestingly, he also mentions that the first Burji sultan, Barquq, divided Egypt into three provinces (niyabas) in the way of Syria's administrative division, so I'd love to explore that a bit. Unfortunately, I only have limited access with google books. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'm also going to make a request at the resource exchange page in case you don't have access to Petry either. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 22:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello dear Ro4444. I was reading the article Buyid dynasty until I saw your great map there. Truly, the map that you've created is amazing. I also saw some of your other uploads and those were also really good. I'm actually so interested in making maps and I really like to know that how do you make the topographic background of your maps? (like: Buyids, Ayyubids, Hamdanids, and Tulunids). I saw the description of your files and you've said that you make it from Demis.nl . I went to that website and I saw their default map. So, after working on that map for awhile and cropping the section that I wanted to work on, I finally downloaded (saved) it but the quality of it was really bad and poor compare to the background of your maps. If it is possible would you please help me about this issue. This is really important for me so I would be really thankful if you help me with that. Thank you. Ali 22:56, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Also, as you can see in this picture the topographic features are too harsh and rough compare to your files. Is this happened because of pixel:degree ratio is too low? Ali 19:38, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Atsiz ibn Uvaq, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Palestine. 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.

Hi, I'm TonyBallioni. Ro4444, thanks for creating 'Abdallah ibn Ghaniya!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for contributing this article. It could be made a bit more readable by breaking up the body into different sections.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. TonyBallioni ( talk) 03:12, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017.

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hi! Long time no see, and I hope you are doing well! I am currently in a "Qarmatian phase", and am writing up the likes of Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi and his descendants.

No hurry though, whenever you have time. Cheers, -- Constantine ✍ 14:36, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Cplakidas: Hi Constantine! Good to hear from you, hope you're doing well also. I'd be happy to take a crack at a map, although this isn't the easiest region to work on.

Hello Ro4444, you don't happen to have a blank/non-green version of this impressive piece of work [5]? Would appreciate it, since the Sasanian Empire is in badly need of a better map, which I want to create, but I lack a proper background to do it. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 16:18, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello Ro, if you have the time and energy, would you mind making a map showing the Mirdasid emirate of Syria and the Jazira? I've nominated an article you created in 2007, Salih ibn Mirdas, for FA and it's sorely missing a map. Under Salih, the Mirdasids actually reached their territorial zenith, controlling the Euphrates valley from al-Rahba in the southeast to Manbij in the northwest, Aleppo and its greater hinterland (incl. Maarrat Misrin and Ma'arrat al-Nu'man) and a north-south line of interior towns starting from Raphanea through Homs, Hisn Ibn Akkar and Baalbek before finally jutting out west to Sidon along the Mediterranean. Please let me know if you'd be willing to take this up. If you do, I can help with the information, including the constellation of tribes and states surrounding the emirate. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 15:30, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Hey @ Al Ameer son: - I'd be happy to take a go at this if my schedule permits. Can I take a week or two and let you know if I feel i have enough to move forward?

Hi! Al-Mu'tadid is now at FAC, and the question was raised what the sources of Iraq Ninth Century.png are. Could you please add them to the file description? Thanks a lot! Constantine ✍ 10:09, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello Ro4444. I'm coming to you with a major map request, but it may be a period of time in which you're well-versed. It's a map of the caliphate at the time of the Second Muslim Civil War, specifically in 685–87. I plan on nominating Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan for FAC this week. Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr and Marwan I have recently become good articles, while thanks to the efforts of AhmadLX, al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi has recently become a Featured article. The aforementioned leaders were the major political players during the civil war. What's been sorely missing from their articles and the main article itself is an adequate map of the political scene in SW Asia and North Africa during this time. If you are up for it, I would be forever grateful if you took a stab at such a map. As always, I would gladly help with information and sources. The scope of the map, set in the year 686/87, would encompass the region between Ifriqiya in the west to Khurasan and Sistan in the east. I have a rough outline here. I assume Cplakidas has information on the Byzantine/Arab boundaries during this period as well. I know it's a major undertaking, but you have the most capable hands. Let me know if your schedule would allow it. Cheers, -- Al Ameer ( talk) 14:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ro4444 and a happy holiday season to you! I've decided to make some maps for use in articles on the early caliphates, as I am tired of seeing 19th-century maps reused ad nauseam. I've started by making a first attempt to draw the somewhat real borders of the Umayyad caliphate in 740 here. I intend to make a similar one for major milestones (661, 715, 809, 861, 892, 908, 946, 969) on the same basemap as 740 and at roughly the same level of detail, since anything more tends to be too much for the average reader. At the same time, I want them to be as accurate as possible, and would love it if you could give a hand with your knowledge and sources. I will upload some first drafts hopefully quickly, would you mind having a look as I go along (or even, dare I hope, undertake some yourself)? Cheers, Constantine ✍ 20:42, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

On behalf of the Military history WikiProject's Coordinators, we would like to extend an invitation to nominate deserving editors for the 2015 Military historian of the year and Military history newcomer of the year awards. The nomination period will run from 7 December to 23:59 13 December, with the election phase running from 14 December to 23:59 21 December.

Hi Ro, I don't know if its best to reach you here or at the commons so I'm contacting you at both. I was hoping you could do a burdensome favor for me. I've been working on improving the Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo) article lately and noticed that it has a pretty lousy map in the infobox ( File:Bahri Dynasty 1250 - 1382 (AD).PNG) Seeing that you created a great map for the Ayyubid dynasty article, would you be able to create a similar map (greatest extent) for the Mamluks, if your schedule allows? The following link gives a decent idea of the extent of the Mamluk Sultanate, at least under the Bahri dynasty: [1]. If you can't view the link, I can upload a screenshot of it. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 00:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
P.S. The map on this link is even more detailed: [2]. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 01:36, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey Ro, I decided to start a draft page about the administrative divisions of the Mamluk sultanate. Whenever you have the chance, could you scan pages 11 and 13–15 (you already provided p. 12 above) from the Urban life book and link them here? Those pages will be very useful for basic info about the Syrian provinces. Cheers -- Al Ameer ( talk) 00:42, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello Ro4444 :)! - I'm kinda curious, what is the name the of the program(s) you use to make those excellent maps of yours? [3] [4] -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 14:13, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ro, I want to start expanding the Burji period of the Mamluk Sultanate, but I'm having an issue with sources. I was curious if you owned or had full access to Carl Petry's The Cambridge History of Egypt, Volume 1, particularly the chapter "The regime of the Circassian Mamluks" written by Jean-Claude Garcin that begins on page 290. If so, would you be able to scan the pages 290-308? The first couple pages discuss what Garcin calls the "four major phases" of the Burji period which will give me a good frame of reference to outline the Burji section of the Mamluks article. Interestingly, he also mentions that the first Burji sultan, Barquq, divided Egypt into three provinces (niyabas) in the way of Syria's administrative division, so I'd love to explore that a bit. Unfortunately, I only have limited access with google books. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'm also going to make a request at the resource exchange page in case you don't have access to Petry either. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 22:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello dear Ro4444. I was reading the article Buyid dynasty until I saw your great map there. Truly, the map that you've created is amazing. I also saw some of your other uploads and those were also really good. I'm actually so interested in making maps and I really like to know that how do you make the topographic background of your maps? (like: Buyids, Ayyubids, Hamdanids, and Tulunids). I saw the description of your files and you've said that you make it from Demis.nl . I went to that website and I saw their default map. So, after working on that map for awhile and cropping the section that I wanted to work on, I finally downloaded (saved) it but the quality of it was really bad and poor compare to the background of your maps. If it is possible would you please help me about this issue. This is really important for me so I would be really thankful if you help me with that. Thank you. Ali 22:56, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Also, as you can see in this picture the topographic features are too harsh and rough compare to your files. Is this happened because of pixel:degree ratio is too low? Ali 19:38, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hello Ro4444, you don't happen to have a blank/non-green version of this impressive piece of work [5]? Would appreciate it, since the Sasanian Empire is in badly need of a better map, which I want to create, but I lack a proper background to do it. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 16:18, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello Ro, if you have the time and energy, would you mind making a map showing the Mirdasid emirate of Syria and the Jazira? I've nominated an article you created in 2007, Salih ibn Mirdas, for FA and it's sorely missing a map. Under Salih, the Mirdasids actually reached their territorial zenith, controlling the Euphrates valley from al-Rahba in the southeast to Manbij in the northwest, Aleppo and its greater hinterland (incl. Maarrat Misrin and Ma'arrat al-Nu'man) and a north-south line of interior towns starting from Raphanea through Homs, Hisn Ibn Akkar and Baalbek before finally jutting out west to Sidon along the Mediterranean. Please let me know if you'd be willing to take this up. If you do, I can help with the information, including the constellation of tribes and states surrounding the emirate. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 15:30, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Hey @ Al Ameer son: - I'd be happy to take a go at this if my schedule permits. Can I take a week or two and let you know if I feel i have enough to move forward?

Hello Ro4444. I'm coming to you with a major map request, but it may be a period of time in which you're well-versed. It's a map of the caliphate at the time of the Second Muslim Civil War, specifically in 685–87. I plan on nominating Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan for FAC this week. Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr and Marwan I have recently become good articles, while thanks to the efforts of AhmadLX, al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi has recently become a Featured article. The aforementioned leaders were the major political players during the civil war. What's been sorely missing from their articles and the main article itself is an adequate map of the political scene in SW Asia and North Africa during this time. If you are up for it, I would be forever grateful if you took a stab at such a map. As always, I would gladly help with information and sources. The scope of the map, set in the year 686/87, would encompass the region between Ifriqiya in the west to Khurasan and Sistan in the east. I have a rough outline here. I assume Cplakidas has information on the Byzantine/Arab boundaries during this period as well. I know it's a major undertaking, but you have the most capable hands. Let me know if your schedule would allow it. Cheers, -- Al Ameer ( talk) 14:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ro4444 and a happy holiday season to you! I've decided to make some maps for use in articles on the early caliphates, as I am tired of seeing 19th-century maps reused ad nauseam. I've started by making a first attempt to draw the somewhat real borders of the Umayyad caliphate in 740 here. I intend to make a similar one for major milestones (661, 715, 809, 861, 892, 908, 946, 969) on the same basemap as 740 and at roughly the same level of detail, since anything more tends to be too much for the average reader. At the same time, I want them to be as accurate as possible, and would love it if you could give a hand with your knowledge and sources. I will upload some first drafts hopefully quickly, would you mind having a look as I go along (or even, dare I hope, undertake some yourself)? Cheers, Constantine ✍ 20:42, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I recall that you did some excellent research about early streetcars in Boston. I'm trying to find and verify some dates about lines that became part of the Green Line, and I was wondering if you might be able to help. (Thus far, I'm working primarily off Tremont Street Subway: A Century of Service (Clarke) and the Boston Globe archives.)
No pressure, of course - if you don't have the sources or this doesn't interest you, no pressure. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 02:27, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
