Credo Reference
I'm sorry to report that there were not enough accounts available for you to have one. I have you on our list though and if more become available we will notify you promptly.

We're continually working to bring resources like Credo to Wikipedia editors, and this will very hopefully not be your last opportunity to sign up for one. If you haven't already, please check out WP:HighBeam and WP:Questia, where accounts are still available. Cheers, Ocaasi 19:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Help with Possible Persian Speaking User
Hi! I was wondering if you could help me communicate with User:Tatobay.weekly as they haven't been editing in English at all. I wanted to let s/he know about Wikipedia policies but after not getting a response from inquiring about their username, I am not sure if they would understand me if I commented in English. So I was wondering if maybe you can perhaps communicate in Persian (if that is indeed the language s/he is speaking) to see if that gets a response.

I came here per the suggestions made at Reference desk/Language and tried to find a Persian speaker that was still active. I would appreciate any help (even if it is just to confirm whether it is Persian or not). Thanks for your time, LlamaDude78 (talk) 20:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi LlamaDude78! S/He is probably speaking either Pashto or Balochi. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand what he had written in his talk page and one of my Pakistani friends could verify that it's not Urdu. Hence, I'm sorry if I can't help you communicate with this contributor in that language. Best, Nojan (talk) 21:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That's alright. Thanks for at least eliminating Persian and Urdu as an option. I will try find someone that knows Pashto or Balochi. LlamaDude78 (talk) 11:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Query about Persian adminship
Hello, Nolan. I see that on your user page you say "I'm an administrator in the Persian Wiki". However, I have not been able to confirm that. For example, https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ویژه%3Aفهرست_کاربران&username=Nojan&group=&limit=1 does not say that you are an administrator, whereas I would expect it to do so, as, for example, https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ویژه%3Aفهرست_کاربران&username=Taranet&group=&limit=1 Tells us that Taranet is an administrator. Can you explain why what you say on your English Wikipedia user page does not appear to agree with what the Wikipedia logs tell me? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi JamesBWatson! My account's name in the Persian wiki is "نوژن" which is the Persian written form of Nojan. You can contact me here if you wanted. -- Nojan (talk) 06:02, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, you could actually find my user page in Persian wiki from the interwiki on the left side of my English wiki user page :) -- Nojan (talk) 06:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * After I had posted the message above, I realised that you must have a different username for the Persian Wikipedia, but it didn't occur to me to look for an interwiki link. If you are interested, the reason why I was asking is to do with Nazaninan, who was claiming that you were a vandal. I see that you have blocked that account on Persian Wikipedia: . Well before I saw your answer to my question above, it had become clear to me that Nazaninan's word was not to be trusted, but when the accusation was first made, I didn't know that, and I wanted to check that your claim to be an administrator was valid, and not part of the vandalism that you were accused of. Anyway, thank you for answering my question. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome JamesBWatson. Maybe you can help me with this user. She has made several sock puppets in our wiki and has used them to influence deletion nominees and recreating deleted articles. I wanted to talk to a steward, but now that you're here, maybe you can investigate the use of Nazaninan puppet to remove the deletion request from Mobina sadat atashi. In fact,, and  are all her puppets. Regards, Nojan (talk) 17:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I have nominated the article for deletion at Articles for deletion/Mobina sadat atashi (2nd nomination). You may wish to take part in the discussion there. I agree that the accounts look like sockpuppets, but I don't at present see enough evidence on English Wikipedia to take any action. If I see a little more evidence here, then I will be willing to allow the history on fa.wikipedia to tip the balance in favour of a block, but my experience suggests that blocking almost entirely on the basis of what has happened on another Wikipedia, without at least a significant amount of corroborating evidence on en.wikipedia, is not normally considered acceptable. Having said that, please do let me know on my talk page if you do see any further evidence. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ghasem Hajizadeh


The article Ghasem Hajizadeh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  Aerospeed  (Talk) 01:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2016

 * Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
 * Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook.

One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
