A page you started (Pachycoris) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Pachycoris.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I've linked to the entry on Wikidata, in the process linking to articles in other languages and the Wikimedia Commons category. I've added a reference list and a tag on the talk page, and a taxonbar at the bottom (which linking to Wikidata populates with links). The claim that the taxon was first described in 1843 needs to be sourced, and some information on geographical distribution would be nice.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Blythwood}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sapri Sale (June 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Hello and thanks for the great article on Sibú. I'm wondering about the spelling of his name, in this version it says both that the Cabécar spelling is Sibö and Sibú, I left the latter spelling in, but maybe you could check that I didn't remove the right spelling? The article also uses Sibú and Sibö interchangebly, would it be okay to switch them all to Sibú?

If you have any more such well-made articles that have been lingering in draftspace for months, you can of course move them to article-space yourself, you don't have to wait for review. I see that this article was made over 4 months ago, which is of course way too long to wait for a review.

Living dinosaur and Category:Cryptozoology

Hello, I see you've reverted the change of Category:Cryptids to Category:Cryptozoology on several articles. The problem with using Category:Cryptid for entities from the folklore record or for supposed sightings of this or that, is that it places the pseudoscientific/fringe term "cryptid" in Wikipedia voice, rather than noting that the entity is of particualr interest to the subculture and pseudoscience—and there are really only a handful of these out there that are of any particular notability to the subculture.

Not long ago, Wikipedia suffered from members of the subculture building a sort of cryptozoology compendoum out of the site, very much in violation of WP:PROFRINGE and WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE. The cleanup of those efforts continues, but there's still a big mess to be mopped up. A major issue is ensuring that these entries are as etic as possible, removing pseudoscience-internal vocabulary unless it's directly relevant and clearly a quote, for example. :bloodofox: (talk) 05:22, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding those categories to the LGBTQ list pages

I'll have to add that to some other pages. There's also "Category:Japanese LGBT-related television shows" for anime like Adachi and Shimamura, Otherside Picnic, and Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!. As soon as DeadEndia and S.A.L.E.M.: The Secret Archive of Legends, Enchantments, and Monsters begin, then it would make sense to add it to Category:2020s LGBT-related television series. --Historyday01 (talk) 23:04, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua Blau

"Linguist of Afroasiatic languages" describes what he did much better than "Arabist" (a vague and sometimes derogatory term). AnonMoos (talk) 07:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, he primarily researched Arabic, and occasionally other Semitic languages. "Afroasiatic" is far too broad a category for him. If "Arabist" is too vague a term, take it up with the people who made Category:Linguists of Arabic redirect to Category:Arabists. --Qualiesin (talk) 15:53, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]


He published on non-Arabic Semitic languages far more than "occasionally", and was an expert in the historical linguistics of Hebrew. Of course I agree that he didn't study non-Semitic Afroasiatic languages, but "Arabist" is far too narrow to encompass his interests (not to mention faintly redolent of pith-helmeted colonialists romanticizing desert bedouins, something which has extremely little relevance to Joahua Blau's works).

More than a typo

Hello, Qualiesin, Please don't remove a large portion of content from a page, as you did on the History of LGBT characters in animation: 2020s and describe it as a "typo." Dead Endia has been renamed, Arcane deserves to be on the page, whether you like the series or not, as does Q-Force, despite the fact the latter series is deeply problematic. The Bubble Blabber link should stay as well, its Taneka Stotts not Taneka Scotts, and the stuff about The Ghost and Molly McGee should also stay as well. --Historyday01 (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly have no idea how that happened. I was only fixing a typo, I had no intention to delete large chunks of the article. Thanks for catching the error. Qualiesin (talk) 02:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Schlemiel category

Are you sure you are in for Judaism? Then you must know the difference: it is Shlimazl who is unlucky. Shlemiel is an inept one, which has nothing to do with luck, but with inability to do things well. Loew Galitz (talk) 23:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree, despite your implication that I don't know my own culture. Qualiesin (talk) 19:44, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
After some thought, it appears you are right: the ineptness of a shlemiel often brings him bad luck. The article must be expanded. I restored the category. Cheers Loew Galitz (talk) 20:40, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was editing the lead section of Passover and I noticed you changed Ḥag hapPesaḥ to Ḥag haPesaḥ in this edit and I'm not sure why since I know very little about Hebrew, though I assume it's not relevant to the change I was making. Please make sure to always put an edit summary — even a sentence or two is better than nothing.

Changing section redirects to less specific sections

Hi, I was wondering why you made these two (and possibly other similar) edits?: edit to Ty Lee redirect, edit to Mai redirect

I was going to edit those two redirects to link to the specific characters in question (via the anchors installed for each character on that page), until I happened to think to check the edit history first, and was surprised & confused to see your edits undoing what had previously been more specific sections.

To me, it seems obvious that redirects to sections should go to the most specific relevant section possible, as to help readers find the information they are trying to find as quickly & easily as possible, but perhaps there is some MOS guideline or other reason to not do that I am unaware of? (i still have yet to fully read read the MOS as it is very long & tiring)

Since your edit descriptions didn't specify the reason for the change, I have resorted to asking you the rationale behind them so that I might understand better and possibly improve my edits to Wikipedia.

Antisemitism/attack

It's not appropriate to accuse other editors of "deny[ing] the antisemitism" in an edit summary. That is well into personal attack territory. I hate templating editors that have been here a long time, but you presumably saw the edit summary I left when undoing your addition that there's a discussion ongoing on the talk page.

Is there a guideline for this? I am asking because I did create a couple of similar "personal" categories. --Altenmann >talk 02:27, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It just makes no sense for the entire eponymous category to be in all the same categories, when the only relevant page, Arik Einstein, is already in it. If there is a limited number of articles in the larger category, and multiple of them have eponymous categories, then it might make sense to have those as subcategories. But only in the categories most significant to them. Qualiesin (talk) 03:28, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon Your recent editing history at Francesca Albanese shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. An edit war occurs when two or more users begin repeatedly reverting content on a page in a back-and-forth fashion to restore it back to how they think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree with their changes. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, please use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. The best practice at this time is to stop editing the page and to discuss the disagreements, issues, and concerns at-hand with the other editors involved in the dispute. Wikipedia provides a page that helps to detail how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard, or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

Being involved in an edit war can result in being blocked from editing—especially as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee, if you violate the one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the one-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

[2] 1RR violation here @Qualiesin. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 23:02, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Also please use edit summaries for significant changes to controversial content. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 23:04, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Adding the reaction by Guterres is a constructive edit. Qualiesin (talk) 00:42, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That is not the issue in question. The issue is that, not only did you introduce issues of MOS:DOUBT into the article, when reverted, you also reinstated your preferred edits, repeatedly removing the descriptions "manipulated" & "fake". That you believe your edits were constructive is immaterial to it being a 1RR violation. Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 01:10, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
To call the video "fake" is misleading, she did say those actual words. But this discussion doesn't belong here, it belongs on the talk page for the article. Qualiesin (talk) 01:17, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
