Wikidata is here; please disable any interwiki bots on the English Wikipedia
editHi!
Wikidata has been deployed to the English Wikipedia. Going forward, Wikidata will manage interwiki links. Further information: m:Wikidata/Deployment Questions and <https://blog.wikimedia.de/?p=13892>.
Important note: Bots that continue to add, remove, or update interwiki links on the English Wikipedia may be blocked from editing after Saturday, February 16, 2013.
If you are running pywikipedia's interwiki.py, please update to pyrev:11073 which will automatically prevent your bot from updating links on this wiki.
If you have any questions, please ask at the bot owners' noticeboard. Thank you for your past work maintaining interwiki links. It has been very appreciated and we're looking forward to an even brighter future with Wikidata. Legoktm (talk) 10:42, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

On rolling-back to a previous verison
editHi! I saw where you were cleaning up some recent garbage edits at Ali Mirdrekvandi, and took the liberty of taking care of some other stuff you missed. And I was wondering: are you familiar with how to "rollback" an article to a previous version? As in selecting the desired version, doing a null-edit and save. That's often easier then trying to pick out specific stuff. Especially when someone keeps make a bunch of dubious edits. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- @J. Johnson: Hi Mr. Johnson and thanks for your contributions especially in articles about Ali Mirdrekvandi. I got your notices and in next I'll Include them in my edits on enwiki. Regards — Fajr18 (Talk) 12:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

A dispute
editHey there! Please take a look at the history of the page Lurs. User:Shadegan reverted my edits on that page several times without even writing an edit summary. He insists on some unsourced content which is false. I even left a message on his talk page, suggesting him a way to resolve our dispute, but he also reverted that. I also suggest you to read our discussion on the talk page. I'm asking you to revert his edit on that page if you agree with me. if not, write your opinion on the talk page. I hope you can help end this edit war. Thanks a lot.Taddah (talk) 09:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Taddah: Hello dear. I've read the controversies on the talk page (Although I don't have any proficiency in this subject) but obviously you are
completely right. based on my personal wikipedian experiences, i think these type of users on all occasions will continue to Edit warring so I think The most appropriate way is to notify one of the Sysops for Third opinion and other dispute resolutions. regards — Fajr18 (Talk) 20:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well, third opinion is exactly what I suggested him on his talk page, but he reverted my message. I think the content is unsourced and false. So, you can revert it yourself. Best regards.Taddah (talk) 20:13, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Prejudgement
editDear Fajr18, I am an old editor in both English and Farsi wikipedias, mainly concentrated on introduction of Lurish culture which is poorly known and introduced. I have been familiar with you and your works for a long time in Persian wikipedia. I wondered about your answers to user Taddah about my edit history!!!!! Are you sure about me? The user Taddah is trying to do malevolent edits about the Lurish pages. For example if you see the history of the page Lurs, he always has done edits clearly to categorize Luri as a simple dialect of Farsi!! completely in contradiction with the reliable scientific websources like ethnologue etc!! Can you ask him to insert his/her documents about the claims?? As a claimant against an issue he/she have to demonstrate his claims. I anticipate you to be a good mediator. BestSHADEGAN (talk) 15:52, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Shadegan: Hello dear friend; In the first place as i said I don't have any specific proficiency in this subject so my suggestion was notify one of the enwiki Sysops for providing an acceptable Third opinion for both sides and other dispute resolutions. In the second Honestly i think both sides should stop their edit waring and wait until reach a reliable conclusion. best regards — Fajr18 (Talk) 17:45, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- User:Shadegan Unfortunately, you'll never stop your nonsense propaganda. Also, you always digress from the main subject. Perhaps, to distract the user's attention from the main point in which you are obviously wrong. Can you show me where I've done an edit on the page Lures to claim that Luri is a dialect of Farsi?? don't refer to the talk page since you talked about the article itself, and on the talk page I said "in my opinion...". plus this is not science, this is a humanities subject. Do you have a source to prove that in Luri, Lurs are called loral? if not, your edit is original research which should be removed, and I suggest user fajr to do this. Am I right user fajr?

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020 Yeah, you're not gonna be able to get away with this anymore.
