==[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[مصر.]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]

The article [[مصر.]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Foreign language title. Possibly a redirect to [[.eg]] which includes the information here, but difficult to foresee anyone using the search term مصر in English language Wikipedia.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:مصر.|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.  The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion process]] can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Haruth|Haruth]] ([[User talk:Haruth|talk]]) 17:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

==Your contributed article, [[مصر.]]==
[[File:Imbox_notice.png|48px|left]] Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, '''[[:مصر.]]'''. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - '''[[:.eg]]'''. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for [[WP:A10|speedy deletion]]. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:.eg]] - you might like to discuss new information at [[Talk:.eg|the article's talk page]]. 

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:مصر.|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:مصر.|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the [[WP:AFC|article creation process]] and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged.

== Some help with Arabic translation please? ==

Hi Matthew. I'm hoping to add a picture or two to the article [[Tourist Landmark of the Resistance]]. There are a few rather striking images on their website, but of course they can't be re-used without permission. Explaining the implications of Wikimedia's licensing is difficult even when there are no language barriers, so I thought it would make sense to email them in Arabic rather than in English. If I draft a short email in English explaining what is being asked for, would you be able to translate it into Arabic? If they reply, their reply might also need translation back into English, for example so that the OTRS people can see whether they agreed or not. Many thanks if you can help. --[[User:Demiurge1000|Demiurge1000]] ([[User_talk:Demiurge1000|talk]]) 12:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Chipsy]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Chipsy]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. '''Please see the page to see the reasons'''. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on [[User talk:SuperEditor|my user talk page]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion (<code><nowiki>{{db-...}}</nowiki></code>) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the '''[[Talk:Chipsy|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you.

==License tagging for File:Chipsy.png==
Thanks for uploading [[:File:Chipsy.png]].  You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.  Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:File:Chipsy.png|this link]], then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description.  If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]].

==File permission problem with File:Chipsy.png==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Chipsy.png]]''', which you've sourced to www.chipsyegypt.com. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license. 

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either 
* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Mamduh}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:image use policy|image use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== Egyptian currency ==

Dear Matthew, as of 2010, no currency value less than 0.25 pounds is accepted in Egypt. Why do you claim that they are still used? Also, stop editing the Arabic spelling of Millièmes, as it is officially spelled with two Arabic ل, not one, as you do it. Also, in the Alexandrian accent, the definitive article is more likely pronounce {{IPA|arz|el|}} before {{IPAslink|ɡ}}. The assimilation of the definitive article in Egyptian Arabic before some consonants is a matter of preference. Some people never even assimilate it, some assimilate it differently from Arabic rules. <small>--[[User:Mahmudmasri|Mahmudmasri]] ([[User talk:Mahmudmasri|talk]]) 05:55, 22 May 2013 (UTC)</small>

== Can you help verify translations of articles from {{#if:Arabic |Arabic |other languages}} ==

Hello,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from {{#if:Arabic |Arabic |other languages}} to English Wikipedia?
[[File:Language icon.svg|left|60px]]
This would involve evaluating a translated article on English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original {{#if:Arabic |Arabic }} article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation '''faithfully represents''' the original.  Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as [[WP:MACHINETRANSLATION|machine translations]] from different languages {{#if:Arabic |including Arabic ,}} using the [[mw:ContentTranslation|Content Translation tool]], sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown{{#if:Arabic |, including some articles translated from Arabic }}.  In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain.  To put it another way: '''Good English''' is not the same as '''good translation'''.

If you can help out, that would be great. {{#ifexpr:{{#if:Suffah|1|0}}or{{#if:Arab Liberal Federation|1|0}}or{{#if:Maasara|1|0}}or{{#if:|1|0}}or{{#if:|1|0}}| Here's a sample of the articles that need checking: {{#if:Suffah|
* [[Suffah]]|}}{{#if:Arab Liberal Federation|
* [[Arab Liberal Federation]]|}}{{#if:Maasara|
* [[Maasara]]|}}{{#if:|
* [[{{{article4}}}]]|}}{{#if:|
* [[{{{article5}}}]]|}}|}}

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the {{#if:Arabic |Arabic  article|article in the original language}}, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{tl|Pass}} and {{tl|Fail}} may be useful).  (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)  {{#ifeq: no|yes| To see the full list of articles, please go to [[WP:CXT/PTR]].|}}  

If you can help, please let me know.  Thanks!<!-- Template:X2 review help. 782612363+1 --> [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 09:38, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

==Egyptian Arabic==

Hi Matthew, i am a fellow Egyptian who's pro an independent Masry language. I also believe that the correct pronunciation of the word is Masry as in {{cite|url=http://enacademic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/9799183|title=Masry Wikipedia}} and El Masry el youm, El Masry of port-said...etc. The term Masry is the one used between Egyptians, while Masri is more used between the Khaleejis in their English written articles when they refer to us.

Also, if we are saying in the article that our language is written in both Arabic and Latin alphabets, why can't we write the name in latin in the infobox?

[[File:Peacedove.svg|60px|left]]
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard]] regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution.  
Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! {{clear}}<!--Template:DRN-notice--> [[User:TheCurrencyGuy|TheCurrencyGuy]] ([[User talk:TheCurrencyGuy|talk]]) 02:27, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

== Turkey vs. Türkiye ==
Hi! You recently changed the word "Turkey" to "Türkiye". However, Wikipedia policy is to use the [[WP:COMMONNAME]] of a country name, unless it's in a specific technical context that requires the official name to be used. The common name of this country in the English language remains "Turkey", so I've reverted your edit. Please don't make any similar changes without first establishing consensus with other editors that common English usage has changed (for example, as "Mumbai" has replaced "Bombay" in common usage) &mdash; [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome|talk]]) 10:39, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[WP:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Egyptian pound]]. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#In talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[WP:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]], rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[WP:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, it may be appropriate to [[WP:Requests for page protection|request temporary page protection]]. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be [[WP:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing.''' ''Further to the above, (1) do not imagine that consensus requires your consent or that you have a veto. (2) Look at what you're doing. You added 46,731 bytes to the article by massive duplication of content.''<!-- Template:uw-ew --> [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 16:47, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I undid it because of the duplication. That was unintentional. But the symbols I know are all valid, with sources. I’ll be back to include them all. No idea why some have to force only their way and nothing else.  [[User:MatthewS.|MatthewS.]] ([[User talk:MatthewS.#top|talk]]) 16:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
