Disambiguation link notification for October 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Versions of Ramayana, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lao. 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.

Proposed deletion of Raya Martin

The article Raya Martin 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 request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Haha, I am deeply honored! X-D Tigercompanion25 (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A Barnstar for you!

This barnstar is awarded for replacing the patronym "Haile-Selassie" with the given name "Yohannes" in Australopithecus deyiremeda, thus respecting the Habesha name tradition, and explaining the reasoning so clearly and succinctly in your edit summary.
In fact, your summary is so good that I have lifted it almost directly for an explanatory footnote, because the usage seems so odd by American standards and because the Hawks quotation just below it (mis)uses the patronym as if it were a surname. :-) --Thnidu (talk) 03:43, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's very kind of you! I'm glad you liked the phrasing. :) Tigercompanion25 (talk) 04:06, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disturbing

Hi you removed my reference to this - I hadn't intended it for anything more than to draw someone's attention to the new section - it hardly seems appropriate here. Why point out thus subtly that ISIS are probably telling the West they are coming back for more? Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 23:52, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I know what you're referring to. If this is about the line "This is disturbing", there was no reference attached to it to begin with. I didn't remove any reference. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 23:54, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry - I meant the statement. But don't you think the whole section above it reads badly? Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 23:57, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

==== Timing and theological context ====

The Paris attacks came on the first day of the Muslim lunar month of Safar, which in 2015 fell on 13 November. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Safar migrates throughout the seasons.

Safar has a religious significance within Islam, as it is named after Prophet Mohammed’s “ghazva” (religious raid) against the “infidel” at Safwan in 623. Islamic State has referred to the Paris attacks as a “ghazva” (religious raid). According to the Cambridge History of Islam, when performed within the context of Islamic warfare, a ghazw's function is to weaken and demoralise an enemy in preparation for his eventual conquest and subjugation.

I don't think it reads particularly badly. The problem with a bald statement like "This is disturbing" is that it's inherently subjective. I mean, disturbing to whom? Based on what interpretation? I think the other stuff in this section is pretty objective, and it's sourced. It presents information. "This is disturbing" presents an interpretation of that information, and one without a source. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 00:02, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I explained that I only said it was disturbing to make some one (id est, you) look at it. Thanks Le Sanglier des Ardennes (talk) 00:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would refer you to WP:NPOV and WP:VERIFY for the relevant Wikipedia policies that make the statement in question inappropriate for an encyclopedia. They apply to all content, including sentences intended as "attention getters." This is a big story; I don't think we need to worry about whether or not people will look at it.

Reactions lists

Thanks for fighting the good fight against the mindless walls of reaction quotes after every major event. Not sure where the discussion's going to go, some people just don't understand what we're talking about, just look at the last inane oppose comment that's actually in suppose of the proposal! Anyway, perhaps the best option is to nip them in the bud after current events like they did at Talk:2016_Lahore_suicide_bombing#Reactions, but let me know if you ever need a hand if/when this comes up again.
