Close paraphrasing

Hello. I just reviewed one of your drafts and while I appreciate your work, I will ask that you be more careful with copying down material. While I was reviewing Hanan al-Balkhi, I saw that your writing matched up nearly completely with the Arabic translation from The Syrian Memory Institution. While they are in a different language, we still need to formulate the content in our own words without copying the translation. You should consider reading WP:COPYVIO and WP:CLOP. Thanks again for your help in expanding Syrian topics on Wikipedia! Lynch44 23:15, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mustafa Abdul-Rahman Abdi

Thank you for your interest in Kurds and Kurdistan. Due to past disruption, a special set of rules apply to anyone editing in this topic area. Specifically, only extended confirmed editors are allowed to make direct edits and page creations to this topic area. Since you currently do not meet the requirements to contribute to this topic area, the page you created has been nominated for speedy deletion under G5.

If you think this page does not fall under the general sanctions described, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Additionally you may wish to read about the topic restrictions here and here. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:24, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

Welcome and introduction to contentious topics

Hi LancelotKent! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing, it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules. This designation is broadly construed, so if you have to ask whether a particular edit is covered, you should assume it is.

Any edits you make contrary to the contentious topic procedures are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to your being blocked from editing. If you have any questions about the contentious topic procedure, you can ask for help!

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Since you are not an extended confirmed user, please do not create articles related to Kurds.

WP:GS/KURD Here's what it says;

A community discussion at the administrators' noticeboard has placed all pages with content related to Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly interpreted, under the extended confirmed restriction, effective 03:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC).

Extended confirmed restriction: only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, subject to the following provisions:

The restriction applies to all edits and pages related to the topic area, broadly construed, with the following exceptions:

Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Should disruption occur on "Talk:" pages, administrators may take enforcement actions described in "B" or "C" below. However, non-extended-confirmed editors may not make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even within the "Talk:" namespace. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, RMs, and noticeboard discussions.

Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

This draft appears to be a duplicate of an existing article. Wikipedia does not permit multiple articles on the same topic.

• If you are writing about a different subject with the same name, ask the reviewer to rename your draft to distinguish it.

Identical page Hussein Assaf on mainspace. should likely be looked at for AfD if no more sources.

• provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Feedback

The reviewer, CostalCal, left the following feedback:

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

• Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
• Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

Facebook isn't a reliable source.

Muhammad Ibrahim al-Zoubi moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Muhammad Ibrahim al-Zoubi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
