Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kuban Cossacks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Got it, I corrected the error, thanks Aliy Dawut (talk) 20:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Talkeetna

edit
 
Um...what?

I'm absolutely baffled by this edit [1] in which you replaced the lead image with a supposedly better one. Talkeetna is a populated place, this appears to be an image of a gorge taken from a railroad trestle. I would assume this is from the Alaska Railroad line near Talkeetna,and with some crumb of context as to what it actually shows it may have a place in the article, but certainly not as the lead image as it is manifestly not an image of what is generally understood to be the article subject.

Uh, my bad? Aliy Dawut (talk) 01:27, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I thought maybe you had some reason besides the name of the image for thinking it was somehow better, but I make it my personal policy to back off once someone admits to an error, so I guess we can leave it that. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sure no worries, thanks for your hospitality Aliy Dawut (talk) 01:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi!

edit

I've moved your page on Italian atrocities in Albania to the draftspace for now. It looks like a promising and interesting topic but it does not currently appear to be ready for mainspace. You can finish the article in draftspace and then submit it to WP:AFC for a review or move it yourself if you're confident in it! Please let me know if you have any questions by replying to this and tagging me! 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talkcontribs) 17:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Appreciate the kind explanation, if you could provide any help into developing it, I would appreciate it. Thanks Aliy Dawut (talk) 22:43, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deletion campaign

edit

Hello Aliy Dawut,

I've seen the development in the past days. And I have to say that I can't do anything for upholding my opinion regarding the deletion request on that article anymore. You see those people randomly appearing out of nowhere and, for some reason, "supporting" the deletion request. That's sadly how it works here - be prepared for such things in the future.

I wish you the best on your way here. - AlexBachmann (talk) 22:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Alex,
thank you for your kind words and message. That is thoughtful of you. And yea, I can already see that myself. I smell some kind of biased agenda amongst that but it seems there’s not a whole lot we can do sadly… you have yourself a nice day (: Aliy Dawut (talk) 06:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
You too, I'm sure we will encounter each other a few more times :), - AlexBachmann (talk) 22:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
