Disambiguation link notification for September 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Biological soil crust, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broken Arrow. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Alfalfa
I saw the change you made to alfalfa Merriam-Webster, which I trust more than the current source, says "Spanish, modification of Arabic dialect al-faṣfaṣa the alfalfa". To me that is saying al-faṣfaṣa is the name for the plant. Seeing how you said your mother tongue is Arabic (in the edit summary), I wanted to double check with you. If so, we can pop that source out and use Merriam-Webster instead. TelosCricket (talk) 23:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * TelosCricket I totally agree, Merriam-Webster is a superior source and we should rely on it here, but let's keep the currently used source too. Modi mode (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I took out the bit about "fresh fodder" and Iberian sources. I used the transliteration of Merriam-Webster and kept both sources. What do you think? TelosCricket (talk) 21:00, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that. It seems like the right thing to do. --Modi mode (talk) 19:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
