SFUSD article in Arabic
If you're interested, there's an article on SFUSD in Arabic. It could use some additions :) - Also if you want I can give you some ideas for school district articles to write in Arabic (U.S. school districts enrolling large numbers of kids from Arabic-speaking families)

English fluency, again
I just spent nearly an hour going through the articles that you've edited in the past day, fixing grammatical errors and less-clear phrasing that you introduced. You've been asked repeatedly not to overstep your abilities in "correcting" the English of native-speaking anglophones. You are harming Wikipedia by doing so, creating additional work for better-skilled users of the English language to repair. I'm asking you again to please consider that you are not as linguisitically brilliant as you imagine, and leave the English grammar corrections to people who are in fact qualified. Magic9Ball (talk) 18:07, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, Ball (I've been calling you Ball, I hope you're ok with that). First of all, I really appreciate all the work you've been putting in reviewing my edits. I know some people would be annoyed by their edits being reviewed and fixed, but I find a great value in having an extra set of eyes (and hands, if that matter) on my work. As you know, I never claimed to be a native English writer. The English I use is mostly influenced by the scientific English I've been using throughout my research career, which is internationally influenced. N I'll be looking forward to working with you to build a better and inclusive Wikipedia. PS: When you review my edits, could you please trust my scientific knowledge on the articles I edit? I'd appreciate you doing so (unless it's your area of expertise of course). note: as a token of good faith, I took the liberty to make a few edits to a few articles you've contributed to. Thank you. --Ciphers (talk) 21:24, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Ciphers, it's concerning that you're still engaging in high levels of English-worsening in your edits after the now-archived discussion we just had, at the end of which you said you understood and were going to be more careful about this sort of thing. And please don't fool yourself that your English errors are due to differences between scientific English and non-scientific English, or between international English and American English.  The following are the English errors in your post above, none of which are due to such differences:


 * "Ball, I" → "Ball; I". "ok" → "OK" or "okay".  "find a great value" → "find great value".  "if that matter" → "for that matter".  "N" → "".  "to build" → "in building" or "to help build".  "and inclusive" → "and more inclusive".  "PS:" → "P.S.".  "expertise of" → "expertise, of".  "note: as" → "NOTE: As" or "Note: As".  "liberty to make" → "liberty of making".


 * And before you say, "Well, I'm much more careful when editing actual articles," that has not been my observation, nor has it been the observation of the other editors that have been trying to get you to see reason on this and to stop attempting so much English copyediting. As for your request to have your scientific knowledge trusted on your edits, that's not how Wikipedia works.  See No original research and Verifiability.  Your edits need to be supported by verifiable, reliable sources.  What trust anyone might or might not place in your scientific expertise is immaterial.  Although some of your edits have been valuable, you're really going to need to take less of a "bull in a china shop" approach.  --Dan Harkless (talk) 08:58, 31 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Don't thank me for fixing your mistakes, Ciphers. I'm not doing it for you, and I'm not here to be your ESL tutor. I am specifically here on this page to complain, and to ask you to stop victimizing Wikipedia with your incompetent copyediting. You can't gain "near-native" competence from reading scientific literature, and your chronic screw-ups demonstrate that. If you see something that looks like a grammatical error in the text of an article, leave it. It probably isn't an error, but rather someone writing at a more proficient level than you. If you want to improve your English, look at these as examples to learn from, not opportunities to pretend you know better. If you were simply making mistakes in the process of adding new material to Wikipedia, that wouldn't be a problem; lots of people do that. But you're replacing correct English with incorrect English, and that is a problem. The fact that you've been told that it's a problem, and persist, is a serious problem.
