Hi. Just so you know, edits such as this one are a waste of your time unless you absolutely can't stand to see double spacing on the editing view. Per MOS:DOUBLESPACE they are only rendered as single spaces in the reading view anyway. I have no problem if you want to carry on, but just thought I'd let you know - Dumelow (talk) 06:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add the Afghan Sunni Muslim Surid Dynasty, you said there needs to be a dynasty page; for this topic there won't be one because the page itself is adequate, because the founder is the sole world famous ruler, Sher Shah Suri who introduced the currency used by 1/4 of the world today RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 11:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. The basis for only dynasties with pages is based on one of the suggestions of the notibility section of Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists. I would argue that Sher Shah Suri introducing currency used by 1/4 of the world makes Sher Shah Suri but not his dynasty and that "needs a page" rule should be used to avoid bloating the page to just a list of monachal states ruled by Sunni Muslims.

Hiya. A thought for you - the signatories to the 1820 treaty were the coastal sheikhs, who at that time had no title or rule over the interior of their 'Emirates'. So the treaty was, in fact, with the cities (well, towns) of the coast... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just following other Malaysian state... For example Kelantan capital is Kota Bharu but royal seat is Kubang Kerian but Kubang Kerian is still part of Kota Bharu not new district. Same also like Kedah capital is Alor Setar but royal seat is anak bukit. Anak Bukit also in part of Alor Setar not new district. Malayan Law (talk) 08:49, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it's that way in Kelantan doesn't make it so in other states, that is an assumption. The wikipedia page for Kuala Terengganu says that it is the royal capital, however that is unsourced. This page from Terengganu's government site [1] seems to indicate that Kuala Terengganu is the royal capital. If Bukit Chendering is the royal capital you would need to provide a source that says that. DervotNum4 (talk) 09:16, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

. Royal address is Bukit Chendering, Kuala Terengganu Malayan Law (talk) 11:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know what it is, I don't see how it's the Royal capital, and I'd like a source that says it is. DervotNum4 (talk) 19:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the List of largest empires so idk why it can't be on LoEs as well. I would appreciate a response AngerySnek (talk) 08:22, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't provide a source, all entries require a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources. As it stands list of largest empires, much like every page on Wikipedia is not a reliable source. DervotNum4 (talk) 15:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was written in a non-enclopedic tone and loyout what with the numbered points, also seems to be in the wrong place in the article. DervotNum4 (talk) 18:02, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok but i disagree as I was simply paraphrase what person write but that doesnt mean you should remove all of it 2600:480A:4A51:9300:41E1:ACCB:519A:9148 (talk) 00:14, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DervotNum4"Hey, l've been looking into this issue deep in down and recently discovered that the user @Al-Waqimi was apparently blocked indefinitely. It seems this user edited the summary of the Bhatti [2] article and was immediately blocked by Wiki procedural authorities. Could you please revert the changes they recently made? That would be a great help initiation for me and viewers " and one thing more just make it sure he will return anytime soon, So i will definitely clerk his unwanted intrusion in future so thats its Mudsharkkiller (talk) 16:00, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:23, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was no need for you to alter the sentence, in the Buzz Aldrin article, “The police declined to press charges against Aldrin, the deputy district attorney of the Beverly Hills office declaring that Sibrel had provoked him.” You rewrote the participial clause (participial phrase) ending that sentence as a second independent clause: “and the deputy district attorney of the Beverly Hills office declared that Sibrel had provoked him,” giving your reason as “Grammar, tense.”
But the prose was correct in formal English as written. It’s quite legitimate to attach a different subject to a participial clause when that subject differs from the one in the main clause, as in, say, “The game starting, she focused on the field,” or, “I relaxed with a drink, my work finished.” People seldom speak this way informally, but, in one fairly common usage today, someone will explain something and then add, “That said,…”
I’ve seen this kind of participial clause called a semiclause, but that seems to be an unusual name for it in formal grammar. Mucketymuck (talk) 05:58, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With the phrasing "The police declined to press charges against Aldrin, the deputy district attorney of the Beverly Hills office declaring that Sibrel had provoked him." someone unfamiliar with the incident described could misinterpret the police not pressing charges and the district attorney declaring that Sibrel had provoked him to be seperate (which I did). To keep things clear I would argue the text should read something along the lines of "The police declined to press charges against Aldrin, as the deputy district attorney of the Beverly Hills office declared that Sibrel had provoked him."

Hello, I see you reverted a constructive edit by a sock on Mahayana. The entire note was removed by an IP, but the sock was just adding it back. Did you revert the revert because of some other reason or was it just because it was done by a sock? I've added the note back to the article if that's fine. Anpang (talk) 12:32, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was entirely because they were a sock. I'm a firm believer that leaving sock edits up implicitly tells the sockmaster that they can get away with sockpuppetry as they can always just make a new sock, this especially matters with serial sockmasters such as with the one who I reverted here who over the years has made 175 different socks including suspected socks. However if anyone thinks there is value in the edits I revert they are free to revert me. DervotNum4 (talk) 14:29, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for opening that SPI. That's a new master to me, but I'll add him to my list so I can recognize him in the future. Meters (talk) 22:54, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, DervotNum4. I appreciate that you had a dispute with an IP editor about content at Chukai, but that does not justify starting an Rfc. I have removed the Rfc header, and encourage discussion about this at the Talk page. First of all, I understand that you have already discussed with the other editor at length about this, but there is no discussion at all at Talk:Chukai about it (apart from the decommissioned Rfc that was just initiated), thus no opportunity for other editors to even know there was a dispute going on. Discussions about article content should be held at the article Talk page, to facilitate multiple editors getting involved. Initiating an Rfc is a very expensive use of our most precious resource—editor time—as it runs for 31 days, and attracts responses from many editors. To justify that level of investment, you need a dispute that has been going on a long time, among many editors, with no clear consensus emerging. That is clearly not the case here. Please have a look at WP:RFCBEFORE and follow the recommendations there, before starting a new Rfc about this (or about any topic). Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 19:08, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I see that I jumped the gun there. DervotNum4 (talk) 19:10, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Do you need any assistance in how to encourage wider discussion? Some hints are in my comment at the Talk page. Lmk, Mathglot (talk) 19:18, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
