Re: Verifications

Hi Samar, to permanently get rid of the verification code (also called a CAPTCHA), which comes up when you try to add an external link to a page, you need to be autoconfirmed. In the English Wikipedia, this means that your account needs to be at least four days old and have at least ten edits. However, in the Arabic Wikipedia, your account needs to be at least four days old and have at least *fifty* edits, according to bug 12123 and Wikimedia's *huge* settings file. Here are three ways to overcome this problem:

1. Ask an administrator to let you become a confirmed user, which means you get all the privileges of being autoconfirmed without having to make extra edits. Here is some information on this on the Arabic Wikipedia and you can apparently request this right here.
2. Make 33 tiny edits in the Arabic Wikipedia to bring your total to 50, either to the sandbox (testing area) of the Arabic Wikipedia or your Arabic user page. When I was faced with a similar situation on the Spanish Wikipedia, I wrote the alphabet one letter at a time on my user page (in the first edit I added an "a", in the second edit I added a "b", etc).
3. If you are blind or visually impaired like me, email me at grahamwpjazi.net and I will set you up with an account on Webvisum, an extension for solving captchas that works on Firefox.

Hope this helps, and happy editing! Graham87 15:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, توماس هوكنز

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, توماس هوكنز. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Thomas Hawkins (geologist). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Thomas Hawkins (geologist) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. - MrX 16:54, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
