sfn
Hey Jadd. Nice work on Julia. Sfn is composed of two parts. First, the small template "sfn|author's surname|year|page" (and u need to contain that formula). You are using the small template correctly (we call this an inline citation)

The second part is the bibliography, where you put the full source. Below is an example of a rather complicated bibliography source (I removed the so that it will appear as it is on the talk page):

cite book|first=Roger|last=Scott|editor1-first=Elizabeth|editor1-last=Jeffreys|editor2-first=Brian|editor2-last=Croke|editor3-first=Roger|editor3-last=Scott|origyear=1989|year=2017|chapter=Malalas and his Contemporaries|title=Studies in John Malalas|series=Byzantina Australiensia|volume=6|publisher=Brill|isbn=978-9-004-34462-4|pages=67-85|ref=harv

Note the last component in the above formula (ref=harv). This will make it possible for the inline citation to connect to the full source when you click on them.

If you have any questions tell me. Cheers.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 12:45, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Quneitra
Hello, in this edit:, you added: "The area surrounding Quneitra has been inhabited for millennia. Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers are thought to have lived there, as evidenced by the discovery of Levallois and Mousterian flint tools in the vicinity." could you please post the quote from the source here? as I cant access the book. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 03:24, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Julia Maesa

Your GA nomination of Julia Maesa
The article Julia Maesa you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

File:SyrianGeneralBookOrganization.png
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Julia Maesa
The article Julia Maesa you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Julia Maesa for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Sack of Bostra
Hi. I came across Sack of Bostra when I stopped by to assess it. It is a fine piece of work. I started to do some work to get it up to B class, then stopped. It spite of WP:OWN it seems rude to me to "take over" an article recently created by another editor. So if you were planning on doing some work on this yourself in the near future could you let me know here and I will leave you to it. Thanks.

PS Julia Maesa is a nice looking article - I had Septimius Severus promoted to GA 5 days before she was. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)


 * PPS I occasionally come across articles with a Syrian element, such as Abu al-Ward, which could do with access to better sources than I have access to. Would you have any interest in my notifying you of them? Gog the Mild (talk) 12:12, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Syrian General Organization of Books
Hello JDHaidar,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Syrian General Organization of Books for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Copying within Wikipedia
Please remember to identify the source of the material in your edit when copying within Wikipedia. I eventually figured out you meant Echo (mythology) but that was not obvious.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. For future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding a link to the source and the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved. It is not too late to add the attribution. See Copying_within_Wikipedia which explains how to do so. S Philbrick (Talk)  17:23, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
