For information

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Omar-Toons (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, you may be blocked from editing. What is decided upon the French language wikipedia effects only the French language wikipedia; here on the English language Misplaced Pages your actions are disruptive and if continued will lead to sanctions.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I have blocked you for 24 hours so you might read up on en-WP policy and understand how things work. While Misplaced Pages encourages editors to be WP:BOLD, it is fundamental that they work to Misplaced Pages:Consensus. You have already been advised that your edits, which may or may not be compliant with the French language Misplaced Pages, do not reflect the standing consensus on the English language Misplaced Pages. You may discuss your proposed changes on the article talkpages and try to change consensus, but you must not edit war to what you believe is the correct version - and certainly not without providing references and sources for your changes. If you have reliable third party sources (and French ones would be fine) then it would be best to present them on the article talkpage where they can be evaluated - it may even be that sources may disagree, and then the editors have the task of determining how to include both viewpoints. My purpose in blocking is, as I said, to allow you time to read up on how the English language Misplaced Pages does things, and also to convince you that doing it that way is the only way. I hope that I do not need to take such actions again. LessHeard vanU (talk) 10:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you did not take time to understand what happened. See who started the edit war: Revision history of Almohad caliphate, The first undo of Omar-Toons on Almohad caliphate, Revision history of Almoravid dynasty, The first undo of Omar-Toons on Almoravid dynasty. You blocked me after these modifictions , , knowing that I left messages on the talkpages ,  ; could you please explain me why have you blocked me ? Taking into account the elements that I presented, how the standing consensus on the English language Misplaced Pages differs from the French language Misplaced Pages in our case ? Regards--Morisco (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
You should discuss the reasons first, which is different to stating what you are doing and why, and make sure that it is agreed upon. There are different enough worldviews amongst the English speaking nations, and it may be found that the French language(s) viewpoint is different again. In editing the English language Misplaced Pages, it must be kept in mind who the articles are being written for. This is only possible if the editors concerned discuss the proposed edits, and the sources being used as references. LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:46, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. I agree with, we should discuss the reasons, but in my opinion it is the person who brings the change to discuss it, and in our case it is Omar-Toons who initiated the edit war. And if there is diffrent worldviews, only one is right: facts and historical truth. Regards--Morisco (talk) 19:08, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, but Misplaced Pages follows "Verifiability, not truth". I would also suggest that "facts and historical truth" very much depend on geo-political considerations - the history between France and England especially is very likely to be viewed differently depending on whether one is a native English or French speaker, for instance. Such considerations need to be recognised. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
The truth without verifiability can not claim to be so, since the lack of verifiable references makes the information not credible.
If I may, I suggest you next time to check what happened before blocking a Wikipedian, although I understand that this is not always easy with the lack of time and the number of requests. Kind regards--Morisco (talk) 17:03, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hola!

Te escribo porque tengo mucha información sobre esos países no sólo dinastías (si Omar acepta dinastía) entonces habría que eliminar todos los datos históricos. En cambio eran países epónimos, los almorávides no eran del SAhara Occidental y menos de Marruecos, eran sur sur de Mauritania a orillas del río Senegal. Si te fijas bien, los datos expuestos por mi tenían fuentes (una de ellos era la oficial marroquí Magreb Arab Presse) pero ni él mismo la ha reconocido. Si quieres fuentes tengo muchas, algunas de ellas son oficiales marroquíes que se contradicen entre ellas.

Bueno si Omar dice que está tal, que diga qué partes están mal, y las tratamos parte a parte.

Gracias.Bokpasa 13:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hola te escribo porque vuelve otra vez Omar con sus teorías nacionalistas del Gran Marruecos, haber si puedes ayudarme a defender que Misplaced Pages de las malas artes del revisionismo histórico.Bokpasa 13:40, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 01:40, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Cleopatra bust at the Archaeological Museum of Cherchel, Algeria

Hello! Sorry to intrude or take up any of your time, but I have an extraordinary request that you may be interested in. It's not every day that I make extraordinary requests, but this is an extraordinary situation that I hope you might be able to address, being a Misplaced Pages editor from Algeria. I might visit Algeria one day, but I'm not going to wind up in the country any time soon. I was wondering if you would be interested, at any point in the future if you have any spare time, in visiting the Archaeological Museum of Cherchell, Algeria to photograph the bust of Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt (also possibly a bust of her daughter Cleopatra Selene II, wife of Juba II of Mauretania). There are no available public domain or other suitably licensed images of this bust found at Wikimedia Commons or anywhere online that I have seen. All images of it online that I have seen are copyrighted and under non-commercial licenses, unfortunately, so I cannot upload them to Wikimedia Commons. If you would take a photo of this obscure bust and upload it to Wikimedia Commons under a public domain or suitable commercial license, it would be a great boon for Misplaced Pages!
