Welcome messages

Please do not welcome users simply because they created an account, especially if they did not do any edit. Meta accounts are automatically created upon registration on any wiki, and being welcomed on a wiki you did not visit or did not even know existed is distracting at best. Besides, you don't know if a newly created account isn't another long-time abuser or spambot, which is what happened here. ~~~~

Deletion of Link to Online Books

I just joined Wikiquotes and posted a couple of changes to the page for Samuel Daniel. I see that you deleted an external link to The Online Books Page. I'm not really sure why. It has a fair amount of information that is not on Project Gutenberg for Samuel Daniel. Since I'm new here, can you let me know why that was inappropriate?Musophilus1562 (talk) 04:00, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@Musophilus1562 Nice to hear from you. Your edit was marked as a link spam. Please read en:Wikipedia:External links. Happy editing MdsShakil (talk) 04:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Clearly it's a spam, please follow WP:MOS, Happy editing MdsShakil (talk)

1. Was it because reference #22 to GeezEdit.com was a scam that it was replaced with reference #22 Google.com at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amharic&diff=708652413&oldid=708651713 2.

Getum908 (talk) 03:17, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

@Getum908: Wikipedia is not a dump of links, And I think http://ethiopic.com/ is not Reliable website for providing references also those edits are don't follow WP:MOS that's why edits are reverted by me or someone MdsShakil (talk) 03:40, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

If Ethiopic.com (reference No. 36) is not reliable, why was freetyping.geezedit.com (reference No. 35) that does not exist now not removed? If the page is a dump why are you relying on it to create pages such as https://am.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%8B%A8%E1%8A%A2%E1%89%B5%E1%8B%AE%E1%8C%B5%E1%8B%AB_%E1%8A%A5%E1%8C%BD%E1%8B%8B%E1%89%B5 By the way, how do we know that those that are deleting have no conflict of interest? Who actually is kwamikagami? If you are serious with what you are doing, you should not allow vandalism of the page as references 12, 22 and 25 are now the same. 96.231.40.201 04:11, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Sandbox

Sandboxes can just be blanked when you have finished with them. Usually no need to get them deleted, just creates work.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:26, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

@Billinghurst Thanks for advice, The ones I proposed to deleted were subpages of my sandbox. Can you check this page and mark it for translation? Regards —MdsShakil (talk) 04:02, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Please don't edit war vandals

There is zero value in edit warring vandals, especially on well-watched pages. All you are doing is feeding the troll and giving them the jollies. Boredom is the best defence. We will get to the pages in time. Revert once, and then leave it if needs be.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:04, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Internationalization syntax

Hello MdsShakil,

I have reviewed your translation markup, and I would like to notice you it does not comply with internationalization guidelines, especially unit segmentation: each empty new line automatically makes a new translation unit, we must not separate each paragraph closing translate tag. Instead, we ensure there is an empty new line after each title to isolate it its proper unit.

Also, when the translate tag is alone on the line, Translate extension automatically removes the line; so it is often better to add opening and closing translate tags on new lines. If we use inline markup for headings, this breaks section editing.

About usernames, they should not be translated (to avoid any potential confusion between users).

Regards, -- Pols12 (talk) 13:08, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@Pols12 Thanks for your cooperation. I will look into the matter in future --MdsShakil (talk) 13:12, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

A Community Wishlist Survey update waiting for translation

Hello! Would you be able to translate the newest update about the Community Wishlist Survey 2022? In short: instead of November 2021, the CWS will happen in January 2022. We would also like to make other improvements. We can't do that without having the volunteers' opinions. This is what we ask for in the message.

After the weekend, I'll send this to all Village Pumps, Cafes, Forums, etc. Our team would like as many people as possible not to ignore this message. Let's remove the language barrier.

Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) 01:29, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Please don't edit war vandals

Hi. Please don't edit war with LTAs and vandals like you did on User talk:SHB2000. Pointless exercise from your view point, and it feeds the troll. All they are trying to do is pick a fight and get a reaction. Best to just be bored and not give much reaction in these times.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:59, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: Thanks for your message. I didn't edit war on that talk page, I just reverted two edits. I saw the first edit while checking recent change and revert it, immediately after reloading, he did same again and I also revert it and checked the history of the page and found that he had been wreaking Vandalism for a long time. After trying to report, and i find that this issue already reported --MdsShakil (talk) 14:40, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

GS request not done

Hi MdsShakil! You had tagged ku:Kûsîzanî for deletion, citing no useful content. Though it is one-sentence, it is in the correct language and seems to be encyclopedic content. When not obviously out of scope, vandalism, or otherwise not suitable for the project, it is often best to leave it to local editors. Best, Vermont (talk) 23:19, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice --MdsShakil (talk) 09:42, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
