Thank you for improving the article, it was too difficult for me, my English is good, but not good enough to do such work. Kind regards.--Buchbibliothek (talk) 21:58, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shah Yaqeeq Bukhari, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Suhrawardi. 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.

Concerning Mireille Issa...

...first let me say thay that I also want this article gone; more hussle than it deserves imho... but: when I read Wikipedia:Proposed deletion, I think that removing one prod (my stupid BLPPROD) kills the possibility of prodding it again. I might me wrong, though. Thanks for your great work in the translation department, btw. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 20:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

@Lectonar: Actually, take a look at the final line in Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#Proposed deletion of biographies of living people. --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Which makes me happy....live and learn; I'll think about adding a line at WP:PROD. Lectonar (talk) 20:28, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

@Lectonar: happy to see you happy :) --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

And done; this might prove controversial, methinks. Lectonar (talk) 20:34, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Can I ask?

Could I know what you meant by "attack-pages-in-disguise"? Thanks --Mhhossein ^talk 17:39, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

You and I both know that you like to create controversial articles, presenting how horrible and evil certain people are against their oh-so-innocent victims. For starters, just look at the title of Wahhabi sack of Karbala; it is the only "Sack of..." article that specifies the perpetrators while it could have been a simple Sack of Karbala. Now look where this kind of tendentious writing has led to: endless talk page discussions. Nope, I have better things to do in real life than debating controversial stuff ad nauseam. --HyperGaruda (talk) 09:58, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Oh, please don't say that! I did not make the article, did I? Tnx for commenting, hope your success in dealing with issues in real life. --Mhhossein ^talk 11:32, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Infobox versus Geobox

Thank you for your comment. Having said that, nowhere does it say that the use of Infobox are compulsory. In fact, the reference you stated indicates that "this is not compulsory". There is no statement that Geoboxes are forbidden. In fact, as a significant contributor to architectural content on the Portuguese article-space I have chosen to use the Geobox as it is MORE complete then the limited Architectural infoboxes. Once again there is no indication that it is forbidden. I noticed that you tried substituting the Geobox for the Infobox in in the article of Convent of São Francisco, thereby eliminating a lot of the content and proving the limitations of the architectural Infobox. I suggest, that if you can prove that the content identified in my Geobox contributions can be substituted for your Infobox, then a change would be in order. But, in fact, that is not the case. ^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 16:03, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

@Zeorymer: yet by replacing Infobox by Geobox at Kadoorie Synagogue, you deleted all the information about the synagogue's affiliation and usage. Just sayin'. --HyperGaruda (talk) 18:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I find the sudden call to deprecate the Geobox format on your part to be almost petty. But, I'm not going to play that game. Good luck with your efforts. Content development is more important, then battles. ^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 18:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

X2

see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/CXT/Pages to review we are not using X2for another 2 weeks ( DGG ( talk ) 05:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

@DGG: what do you mean "we are not using X2 for another 2 weeks"? I am not allowed to use {{db-x2}} anymore? What part of the discussion are you referring to? --HyperGaruda (talk) 05:29, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Claude Fabre : contest

Dear HyperGaruda, you have proposed the speedy deletion of the page "claude fabre" in English. I do not find the button on the talk page to contest this deletion (He is an French scientist who has made extensive contribution; his French speaking wikipedia page documents this well aleady). Thanks to indicate where I can find this button to contest the deletion. --npettiaux (talk) 07:35, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Oil your own machine

Oil your own machine @User: HyperGaruda,stop advising me. I found your behavior as abusive. Poking everything what I do.Hope you got my point.

@M R Karim Reza: Well obviously we edit in the same area, Indonesia and Islam, so do not be surprised seeing me there, especially after having witnessed your editing behaviour. I have tried giving you advice, but you will not take any. Wikipedia has guidelines and policies to ensure quality, but since you continue to do disregard everybody's remarks (deleting your entire talk page illustrates said disregard), go against consensus (multiple recreations of List of tallest buildings in Bandung despite a deletion discussion closing as delete) and fail to communicate with other editors (no edit summaries, hardly any attempt at discussing edits on talk pages), I am on the verge of taking this to WP:ANI. --HyperGaruda (talk) 11:47, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Ali in the Quran

Hello I wanted to ask if you could look at the talk page of this article it has been discussed before that the article is based solely on the Shia perspective I am not one for sectarian edit wars but its Wikipedia and some sources are also misrepresented as Sunni while coming from Shia sources. I have contacted a few Sunnis online to help in balancing the article and they will look into it when they have time could you in the mean time look at the talk page at least? 2A02:C7D:151D:D100:48C4:F382:E40F:F178 (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but you will have to excuse me until the weekend. I may have time to do some small stuff, but the sheer amount of sourcing in that article requires a lot more attention than I can give in a short span of time. --HyperGaruda (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

• @KrakatoaKatie: Hi, before I delve into the above request any further, could you please tell me to what SPI this IP—whom you blocked—is related? --HyperGaruda (talk) 12:01, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Nevermind, found it. My oh my, what a list. --HyperGaruda (talk) 17:44, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Alawites' children

hi. That is misinformation and intended as sectarian abuse, so I changed it. Certainly when someone(a bastard) will know that his father is a Sunni, he will become like him and will not be accepted in his community and he will be outcast and may be killed — Preceding unsigned comment added by يوسف عاشق الجبل (talk • contribs) 10:27, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Alavi Bohras and Haatim Zakiyuddin

Hello sir,

Thank you for editing the page. I often edit this page. Sir, could I know the reason of the deletion of two section "Thoughts" and "Excerpts". Also an image of manuscript has also been deleted.

--NoorAlavi (talk) 15:00, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Sir, with Haatim Zakiyuddin page I also edit Alavi Bohras. In the Library section there is a copyright issue. I first wrote it on Wikipedia and the editors of the website alavibohra.org have copied it there. Please tell me what should I do further.

--NoorAlavi (talk) 15:10, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

@NoorAlavi: I always give my reasons in the edit summary, which you can look up in the page history. In this case, WP:QUOTEFARM is an elaboration on the policy that Wikipedia is not a repository for random quotes, especially if they are merely decorating the page instead of explaining the page's subject. --HyperGaruda (talk) 19:26, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the copyright issues: if their website truly copied from Wikipedia, then they are legally required (check Wikipedia's terms of use all the way at the bottom of each page) to provide attribution. In other words, they have to say where they got their information from, otherwise they are committing plagiarism. --HyperGaruda (talk) 19:26, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Sir, I request you if you could help in removing the copyright tag from the library section of Alavi Bohras. As I am the author of this matter and could do little if someone copies it. --NoorAlavi (talk) 11:38, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

@NoorAlavi: I have done some extra checks and so far it seems your side of the story is plausible. I have sent an email to the alavibohra website urging them to comply with the Wikipedia terms of use. If you have any contact with them, please notify them of their wrongdoing. --HyperGaruda (talk) 16:10, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Editor,

Received your email regarding the copyrighted material being used on alavibohra.org. It would be soon attributed and acknowledged on the respective page/s. I regret for the ignorance of such sensitive issue.

With Regards, Web-master. alavibohra.org --BrightLantern7 (talk) 03:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Editor,

Sir, on the page “Alavi Bohras”, there is a template message focusing on various issues and making it dull, unauthentic, unverifiable and ambiguous. I think you have a long and robust experience of editing on Wikipedia. Below points could throw light on the issues included in the template…

1. Not much research work has been done on Alavi Bohras (AB) as they have been mistakenly considered as the offshoot of mainstream Bohra communities. 2. The website www.alavibohra.org is the only web facility available catering to the needs of scholars interested in the history of AB. 3. The sources, references and minor mentions of AB from the published books described in Wikipedia are the only third party books written by non-AB. 4. Because AB constitute to be the smallest group among Bohras, its history and origin has been overshadowed and fabricated by the historians who were ignorant about its facts and got carried away by the material available in the market without verifying it. 5. “NoorAlavi” who often edits the AB page is associated with the library of AB situated in their centre at Vadodara. 6. It is very difficult to verify the material written on AB page as any editor could not find it anywhere else. It is being translated from the manuscripts.

As you all have a great expertise in editing, I request your kind attention in resolving the template issues. --Theintellectual21 (talk) 07:17, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

1843 Guadeloupe earthquake

Can you please stop removed and restore where in 1843 Guadeloupe earthquake I fix this issue on page it is correct so please don't remove restore page thank you. GAJJR (talk) 15:44, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

@GAJJR: Can YOU please stop re-inserting bad English grammar. I am just going to be blunt here: your grasp of the English language is appalling and you have been told this multiple times. Please consider editing a Wikipedia in your native language, because this continued behaviour may result in you getting blocked for lacking WP:COMPETENCE. --HyperGaruda (talk) 17:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I am not write bad english you if you going did this again I afraid I had to block you GAJJR (talk) 17:43, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Isra and Miraj

Greetings. I've reverted this edit/tag [1] as unnecessary and inappropriate. The article simply quotes the Koran's version of Mohammed's purported experience without saying, "This happened." As such it requires no interpretation. Readers can accept/reject the events described. If you added this in response to the external links that had been added to the article body, that's understandable, and perhaps commendable. But removing the links, as has been done, is more in keeping with the guidelines, as I understand them. Regards Tapered (talk) 02:24, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

I hope you've seen my endorsement of your tag on the Talk page. Tapered (talk) 04:21, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

List of subdistricts of Indonesia

Hello, it's nice to change names but I fail to understand the logic behind it. If there are "subdistricts", where are the "districts"? And since kecamatan are called "distrik" in Papua, isn't it because kecamatan are indeed districts? :-) Humboldt 19:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

@Humboldt: I have taken the liberty to move your post to my talk page (starting with "User talk:"), where discussions belong. By the way, did you know you can sign your posts by inserting ~~~~ at the end? Once you hit the "Publish changes" button, the four tildes will automatically convert into your username and a timestamp. As for your question: the reason dates back to when there was an additional subdivision actually called distrik or kawedanan, positioned between kabupaten and kecamatan; follow this link for a more detailed explanation. While the kawedanan disappeared during administrative reorganisations, the way they are translated to English stayed the same. --HyperGaruda (talk) 07:22, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

I can follow your reasoning but since kewedanaan (kawedanan is Javanese/Sundanese) no longer exist I was wondering whether one should still mention them (my great-grandfather was wedana of Majalaya before the WW II). And if kewedanaan should be revived, one could always name them "subregencies" :-) Humboldt 13:58, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

@Humboldt: We do not rename things to how we think they should be named, because that goes against one of Wikipedia's core policies about original research. Instead, we use whatever translation is attested in reliable sources, which is "subdistrict" such as used here, here and here. --HyperGaruda (talk) 15:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

I disagree strongly with you on this matter. A "subdistrict" is by definition in English an administrative level below a "district". Thus logically one cannot have "subdistricts" if there is not a level called "districts" for the subdistrict to be below. By the elimination of the former kewedanaan (or kawedanan), the level below the kabupaten, i.e. the kecamatan, became "districts" in translation. The only alternative would be to translate kabupaten as "district", which I believe you would agree is unacceptable. Rif Winfield (talk) 11:19, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

@Rif Winfield: by that same logic, a kabupaten should not be translated as regency, because a regent by etymological definition represents a king (Latin: rex), which is not applicable anymore to the current republic. Again, according to our naming policies on Wikipedia, we follow what is most prevalent in reliable sources, regardless of whether it is wrong in your own view. --HyperGaruda (talk) 12:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
