Hello there, You need to add references from multiple reliable sources. It is not like that you add one or two sources and it's enough. Books that you have added are not available online for verification. The claims made within the article can not be verified on your credibility, it should be easily verifiable. The article has been reviewed with maintenance tag so address the issue before removing it. Apart from that the article is not at all "B" class. Please do not change the class of article without discussing specially when you are the article creator. Regards. Hitro talk 05:59, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey @HitroMilanese:,

"You need to add references from multiple reliable sources. It is not like that you add one or two sources and it's enough."

Did you read the When to use section of the template? It clearly states that "Don't use this tag for articles that contain no unreferenced material, even if all the material is supported by a single citation.". All the paragraphs in the article are supported by two of the most important tertiary sources about islamic and Berber history

"Books that you have added are not available online for verification. The claims made within the article can not be verified on your credibility, it should be easily verifiable."

Is this a joke? So you're telling me that you can't access the Encyclopédie Berbère entry? You know that you just need to click on "Hin Tata". And its not my problem that you can't access The Encyclopaedia of Islam entry, you can just ask someone in the Resource Request to send you the article. Is this a new thing or are you just creating new rules? Per WP:SOURCEACCESS "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access." If you're suspecting the reliability of the two sources, you can consult the reliable sources noticeboard.

"The article has been reviewed with maintenance tag so address the issue before removing it."

What issue? You adding a tag doesn't imply that there is an issue. When I reverted your edits I quoted the When to use section in my edit summary (rv, "Don't use this tag for articles that contain no unreferenced material, even if all the material is supported by a single citation. ")

"Apart from that the article is not at all "B" class. Please do not change the class of article without discussing specially when you are the article creator."

My bad I was basing it on MilHistBot's Automatic MILHIST checklist assessment. I didn't have to generalize it on all the other wikiprojects. But can you explain your new edit? I don't have problems with changing the other projets assessment, but I have it with changing MilHistBot's automatic assessment. I think you should discuss this bot decisions with its creator Hawkeye7. Kind Regards -TheseusHeLl (talk) 17:24, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

For the article you created

I am hoping you can view this book:

• Governing the Empire: Provincial Administration in the Almohad Caliphate

Perhaps this book will help. --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:55, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Get in touch?

Hey @TheseusHeLl:—sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask—but are you also based in Morocco? It would be nice to meet someone as passionate about this stuff as I am. Maybe there's something we can collaborate on. إيان (talk) 22:57, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey @إيان: No, definitely not a problem! This is why user talk pages exist. Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested. Kind regards -TheseusHeLl (talk) 14:28, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I understand. ⵜⴰⵏⵎⵉⵔⵜ anyway. Feel free to get in touch if something comes up later, mr7ba. Kind regards. إيان (talk) 15:14, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey @TheseusHeLl:, I hope you're doing well. I'd like to welcome you to the Wikimedia Morocco User Group in case you weren't aware of our activities or you would like to join us. This is a work-in-progress list of articles relating to Morocco that we would like to create at editathons and things like that. Please feel free to add more if you have some ideas. إيان (talk) 23:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:SYNTHESIS

I have seen that you has correctly marked as WP: SYNTHESIS in the article "Spaniards". I inform you that in the article "Portuguese people" you can also use that criterion.

Many thanks NormanGear (talk) 16:57, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello TheseusHeLl!

Hey, I've been meaning to send you a message for a while. Hope things are going well for you.

I want to talk about you reverting my changes for the Hicham Lasri page. I saw your note that you left me, something about poor writing. It made me laugh and also I admired the fact that you took the time to write it. Here's the thing, I need you to undo that, if it's still possible. I am Hicham's assistant and run everything by him before publishing, naturally. Also, I know the writing is not classic wikipedia-page like, that it has jokes and innuendos, but that's there on purpose. It's about writing in the right tone for the right topic. If I was writing for a more traditional artist, i would be more sobre and neutral in my writing, and vice versa.Nonetheless, the piece was still hundred % accurate and well sourced, informing the reader not only in a factual way but also giving an idea about the artist and his universe. So please, if you can undo the revert, that kinda would save me some time. I still need to work on the French and Arabic versions too.

Thank you! Have a great day! Chaimamine (talk) 15:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

2020 coronavirus pandemic in Morocco

@TheseusHeLl: Hi, I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your great work on this article. 🙏🏼 إيان (talk) 17:17, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Articles' talk

Hey there! could we please discuss the disputes in the articles' respective talk pages instead instead of hop reverting from an article to another? would be much reasonable. Thanks :) QuestFour (talk) 03:20, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey @QuestFour: that was a knee-jerk reaction from me. I did this because I noticed your edit in the Moors article and it reminded me of the blocked sockpuppeteer Tarook97 (Swazzo, Loaka1). He was editing the same articles you're interested in (Battle of Tours, Coffee, History of coffee, Tunis, Al-Andalus, etc). Your account is emitting unusual duck radiations. Ping: @LouisAragon: @Kansas Bear: @M.Bitton:. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 00:02, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Judging from the 2nd edit they made, QuestFour is clearly NOT a new user. I hope for their sakes that they are not socking, because it will not end well.--Kansas Bear (talk) 00:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kansas Bear: These socks are getting better at hiding their identity every time they return, e.g. "Bokpasa" -TheseusHeLl (talk) 17:53, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Hafsid dynasty

Hi. You're right that the article is about the "Hafsid dynasty/Caliphate" only, but it's also true, that article is about former north african state of 1229–1574 and if it was occupied during this period of time without being interrupted, it belongs there as well, the foreign flags should be also displayed there. The gallery is also about flag of Tunisia of this period displayed on portolans or mentioned in sources, it's not at our discretion to decide which flags deserve to be eliminated. The same way is applied in other articles, for example Kingdom of Naples (look at the flags in the article), which belonged to foreign powers throughout its history and de facto did not have its own flag and symbolism, there was Anjou/French, Aragonese, Spanish, Habsburg and Napoleonic. A same way I want to apply to the Hafsids. Also the title "Flags of the Hafsids on portolans" is inaccurate, because it's not clear which flags of portolans belongs to the dynasty or the country or Hafsid ruler etc. It is inaccurate to claim that these three flags belonged to the Hafsids, they could have been battle standards for example and therefore should the title remain non-specific. -- Dragovit 8:42, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough. Just remove the doubtful one. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 07:16, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree, I just remove the douptful one, but I still think the "douptful flag" should be there also for education. Somebody consider the Catalan atlas to be a source of reference. Is there a reason not to mention it? -- Dragovit 9:20, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Check out the Summary in this page. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 07:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

I see and I read it, and my opinion is that it's enough that description of the flag mentioned that it is "higly speculative", "douptful" etc., nowhere stated that it is real or official flag and yet it can be in the article displayed. The Catalan Atlas, although not a credible source, is also a portolan map, this problem can be solved by a suitable description, but if you think it's a better solution not to show it in the article, so okay, I don't mind. -- Dragovit 9:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Go check the Catalan Atlas and try to find it. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

I didn't find it on the map. Where did the flag come from? So you're right, I finally agree with that it is more appropriate not to show it. Thanks. -- Dragovit 9:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Where did the flag come from? The imagination of its creator. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 08:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

That's possible and who or what is it? Don't know? Maybe it's mentioned somewhere and I just didn't notice, if so, I apologize for a waste of time. Thank you. -- Dragovit 9:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Oh dear. It seems I also put an ANI notice on Afer Ephraimite at the same time (in Edit-Warring board). Didn't realize you simultaneously put one in general ANI just before that. Walrasiad (talk) 04:17, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@Walrasiad: Well, It's (my report) going to get ignored anyways. Is it against the rules to have two reports? -TheseusHeLl (talk) 04:30, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't think so. But it may make my report seem a little precipitous when the reaction to yours is not yet done. I added a link to your ANI report in my report. It might be useful to admins if you add a link to mine in yours, so admins can see what other admins are doing and not conflict each other. Walrasiad (talk) 04:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Abu Imran al-Fasi

Hey there, I came across a source which contradicts Abu Imran al-Fasi Berber background. The source is Dictionary of African Biography Edited by Emmanuel K. Akyeampong and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Since you made up most of the page about him, i'm looking forward to hearing your suggestion before making any changes to the article. --MWahaiibii (talk) 05:24, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Geeetings,

Could you stop adding sock-puppet everywhere. After a few hours you already added that everywhere, without me defending myself or making my case. The block has been lifted since I did not use my accounts in a manipulative manner or for edit warring or winning discussions. I kept one for East African related issues and the other for MENA (Middle East North Africa). I would like to notify you that I will redo my edits you removed and I am always open for discussions in the talk page. As explained to the administrator I made it sure to show both accounts are linked to each other on my page.

-Cheers --Ozan33Ankara (talk) 10:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Why?

I’d like to ask you why do you keep reversing my editing on the page couscous? I need explanations because I submited histotical proofs about its true origins, I think I might have to contact Wikipedia to solve this after all. Imheretostatefacts (talk) 23:46, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Zirids Map

Hello,

I changed the map on the Zirids article because I made the translation in English of the map which is well sourced, but is in French.

Best Regards. Askelaadden (talk) 12:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

You didn't translate it, you created a new one. Sorry but your map in comparison to Kabyle 20's is poorly drawn and the southern borders are exaggerated. And there is no reason to change the old one (even if it's in french). Regards -TheseusHeLl (talk) 12:59, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
