how to correct this problem on Ummayads

68.100.160.250 (talk) 15:46, 4 January 2014 (UTC) Ummayads your article Umayyad Caliphate does not match to Ummayads in 45 other languages

Umayyad Caliphate You need a separate page for Ummayads such that you can match to the Ummayad in 45 other languages because they don't have a separate page under the title of Umayyad Caliphate

BECAUSE The Umayyad Caliphate is ONLY prepared in 28 languages

Ummayads/Ummayad/Umayyads/Umayyad/Umayad & Umayyad Caliphate

Ummayads - Your article Umayyad Caliphate does not match to Umayyads in 45 other languages.

AvicBot error ?

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hey, Avicennasis. I was adapting some template links on my project and found that {{Wikipedia principles}} was linked to Five Pillars of Islam instead of Wikipedia:Five pillars, which I've fixed, in this process I noticed that AvicBot had made the change, so I thought you might want to know. If I'm incorrect about the intended link target although, I don't see how, please revert my change. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 22:59, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Based on the {{R from other capitalisation}} tag on the page, it looks to me as Five pillars is just another redirect along the lines of Five Pillars (except the P is not capitalized.) Given this page is in mainspace, and the fact that it seems both redirects were setup for the Islamic use of the term, I believe the edit was correct. There is also the issue of a cross-namespace redirect, here, which is a sticky issue itself. For now, I'm going to undo the change, but please feel free to come discuss it with me if you still feel differently about where this redirect should point.   Avicennasis @ 01:50, 10 Shevat 5774 / 01:50, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Hanna Brodin

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A bot of yours has twice "fixed" a double redirect from Hanna Brodin. Unfortunately the redirect is not correct, as Hanna Brodin is/was a skier, now called Hanna Erikson. Hanna Eriksson, however, is a swimmer and a completely different person. I'm not sure how this would best be organized, but as it is now, everything is wrong...

AvicBot Malfunction

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, noticed a while back that AvicBot took a bunch of redirects that originally pointed at Fair use and moved them to point instead to Dumplings (film). I bring this up because it seems like the bot hit a glitch which may need to be addressed. In addition, I'm worried that it may have changed other redirects from the Fair use page to point at another page which I haven't found yet. Is there some way to address this problem?

Thanks!

Fixing double redirects caused by vandalism

AvicBot and reverts

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, just to let you know, AvicBot fixed a double redirection [1], but the reason for that double redirect was a somewhat POINTy edit [2] that was reverted 12 minutes later [3]. I don't know if there's anything that actually needs to be done on your end, but it's probably something to be aware of: that bot fixes based on edits which get reverted don't necessarily also get reverted. -- 160.129.138.186 (talk) 15:23, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare
