Article improvement request

Hi Abo Yemen, I'm improving South Yemen rn and I'd like to know if you'd be interested in helping me out. I'm looking to get it to GAN status one day. If you're not, I understand. No pressure. Sincerely, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 21:46, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Grumpylawnchair! I've actually been working on that article lots (I've authored more than 50% of it) and I've been waiting for someone to help me out with that article. We could start with addressing the points at Wikipedia:Peer review/South Yemen/archive1 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 21:51, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we should. I'll clean up the refs to start. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 21:59, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you remember which pages you used in the article from Encyclopedia of the Cold War? Grumpylawnchair (talk) 22:01, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, (sorry for the late reply I was at the mosque) I don't think I've used the Encyclopedia of the Cold War while editing this article, someone else probably added it 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 23:44, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll see if I can request it through my library so that I can add page numbers. This is needed for GAN as far as I know. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 23:45, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abo yemen, I can see your great potential in Wikipedia, And I read one of your userboxes about Wikiproject military, you really should participate in making articles about Islamic or arabic history, Since they are rarely any arabian users in English Wikipedia who are into the military history of their own nation in Wikipedia.

Hello @R3YBOl! I'm kinda busy working on the South Yemen and Hadhramaut articles and got myself into a long ass GA review at Iblis. I actually want to invite you to help us with the South Yemen article, as we're trying to get it to GA status 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 16:06, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, okay, you were right. It's not often you'll be able to accuse me of an excess of AGF, but there you have it! :) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:00, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexandermcnabb I mean, it was so obvious that it was them. They didn't even bother changing their personality and acting like a different person. Plus, all they edited was Balochis in Oman and the UAE. Nevertheless, I know how being the only editor of a topic feels; I, too, want someone to help me with my work 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:12, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(completely unrelated to the sock guy: Nice book cover ngl. Went to search about it and found this nice article written about you. I'm actually quite surprised on how someone finds the history of the UAE interesting, esp as it is portrayed as a history-less state, here at least. Probably wont afford buying the 120aed book (which is like, 12,000,000 yemeni riyals lol (the number is probably higher too))) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:20, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's actually got a fascinating and rich history - just that nobody ever told it before! I was quite amazed to find I was the first! But, yeah, the cover price is pretty stiff. It's got to pay for a load of publishing people to go out to lunch a lot... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
their modern hist (last 8 years) isn't the best, at least in terms of foreign involvement, but I ain't gon criticize it here so you don't get into any trouble. Also, do you think anyone used your book as a citation on wiki? Cus that would be cool 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 16:01, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is really stretching the bounds of civility and suggest you rephrase it. Remember that there's a person on the other side of the screen. In this case, a person who looks like they're about to get kicked out of doing a hobby they enjoy. -- asilvering (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilvering Yeah... now I'm feeling guilty. I've rewritten it 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 21:09, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciate it. -- asilvering (talk) 21:11, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Coffee Page

I have sent you an extremely important mail , kindly check it

{{You've got mail}} Delicate ve precious (talk) 03:14, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I've read your email. I obviously don't like some of the articles on Islam here, and the only way we could change that is by opening an WP:RfC on the talk pages of the articles, not through WP:ANI, as admins can't do anything when there is consensus to include those disrespectful images. I'd also recommend that you read WP:CANVASSING 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 09:15, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I read canvassing , thankyou for that .
The thing is that Rfc can be considered but Anb is the best option here , administrators are bound to the decision of the consensus which i believe will be in oir favor GOD willimgly , because of what we are doing .
Secondly they have the authority of deleting an image from an article . So this is the only way through which we can ensure the deletion of these images .
I request you to please talk to me through email so i can nore openly tell you what i am thinking of .
Hope you'll respond . 39.48.16.201 (talk) 15:09, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather keep the discussion here. Admins can't override existing consensus. You'll have to start an RFC 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 16:11, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Southern Transitional Council takeover of Socotra

On 4 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Southern Transitional Council takeover of Socotra, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after being ousted by the Southern Transitional Council, the governor of the Socotra Archipelago fled to Oman and continued to govern through WhatsApp? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Southern Transitional Council takeover of Socotra. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Southern Transitional Council takeover of Socotra), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I'm afraid you missed the biggest problem. At WP:RSNP I see "GlobalSecurity.org is an unreliable user-contributed and scraper site given to plagiarism. In the 2022 RfC, a slight majority of editors held that globalsecurity.org should be regarded as generally unreliable, with a significant minority arguing for deprecation. The site should not be used to back factual claims on Wikipedia. GlobalSecurity.org should not be confused with globalresearch.ca". I really wish all AfC reviewers were required to use Headbomb's script that shows reliability. Doug Weller talk 08:15, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh damn. Is User:Headbomb/unreliable the script you're referring to? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 09:22, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. It's brilliant. Doug Weller talk 11:03, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Military Command Council

Hello. I was doing a draft on the North Yemeni military junta whose name is listed above. You left a comment (to which I responded) but no further action followed. I would like to know if my article passes or not? Or do I need more time to determine? I am not attacking in any way, I am just asking)) Algirr (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do "You" need more time I meant Algirr (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Algirr! I wasn't notified about your reply for some reason but anyways, can you add the pages used in sources 4 and 6 please? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 17:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will be honest - I don't think I can, because I took that links from an Arab wiki where is no pages or something like this, and I don't speak and don't read Arabic. Algirr (talk) 21:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
well, at least find the pages for source number 6, as it is in English 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:34, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
