Request

Hi Alaa, I have nominated myself as a Sysop in the Egyptian Wikipedia, Can I have your support please, Thanks in advance. HitomiAkane (talk) 06:16, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

مرحبًا HitomiAkane، عذرًا للتأخير. فعليًا لا يُمكنني المشاركة في التصويت، لتجنب أي نوع مُحتمل من تعارض المصالح، خصوصًا لمشاركتي في نقاشاتٍ سابقة متعلقة بنفس الموضوع مع الزملاء المضيفين، وكما ذكر الزميل في رده عليك بأنَّ طلبك الآن قيد المناقشة الداخلية بين المضيفين، وفعليًا شاركت بما لاحظته خلال الشهور الماضية. تحياتي وبالتوفيق --Alaa :)..! 12:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

لا مشكلة صديقي, أتفهم الوضع, شكرا لمساعدتك, تحياتي لك HitomiAkane (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

بالتوفيق HitomiAkane، وأتمنى أن تستعمل الصلاحية بحكمة وبشكلٍ جيد ليُمدد لك فيما بعد. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 20:01, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Global lock Aliaboomar

Hi there, you globally locked the above account (Special:CentralAuth/Aliaboomar) for long term abuse. Note that I just received an email from this person's new account (Turk MIT), see below:

Hello please, can you help me to re-open my account that has been globally locked?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Aliaboomar

I didn't break the rules of the wiki and you can see my edits and I make a clean start with these rules

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Clean_start

But someone blocked me, can you help me recover the account

This email was sent by user "Turk MIT" on the English Wikipedia to user "Daniel". It has been automatically delivered and the Wikimedia Foundation cannot be held responsible for its contents.

This user using their old account emailed me previously. Will leave for you to deal with this new account. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 06:20, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Daniel, thanks for your message. Of course it's not a Clean start, because Special:CentralAuth/Aliaboomar account created on 14 October 2016 and active since 4 May 2021. During this period, this LTA created around 10 socks (Started from Special:CentralAuth/Alaaameen30). For referance, please see this page. Best --Alaa :)..! 09:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Ali Al-Suleiman

I was just looking at User:علاء/case1 and oh wow, I expected a couple of socks but never 200+. Anyways, we had a more recent deletion discussion about the subject on trwiki and includes a source analysis, which I though you might want to add: tr:Vikipedi:Silinmeye aday sayfalar/Ali Mahmoud Al Suleiman. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 13:55, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Styyx. Thanks for your help on this case! Yes, this sock master active since 2017 and still, with more than 210 socks. I added the page you mentioned. Thanks in advance --Alaa :)..! 09:39, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

حذف

مرحبًا علاء، أرجو أن تكون بخير وعافية، هُناك مُستخدمين يقومون بمساهمات مدفوعة باللغة العربية والإنجليزية في المشاريع التي لا تحتوي على إداريين أمثال:

1. ويكيبيديا التشامورية
2. ويكيبيديا البمبرية

رشحت عدد من الصفحات المُخالفة هُناك للحذف، لكن أحد المُخربين يتراجع عن ترشيح الشطب، بالتالي أرجو من فضلك التعامل معها وحذفها لو تكرمت. تحياتي لك.--Faisal ^talk 08:51, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

أهلًا @فيصل:، شكرًا لانتباهك، حذفت جميع المقالات في هذه المشاريع. أتمنى طبعًا (وتعلم ذلك مسبقًا) لو تنشط أكثر في المشاريع المشابهة خلال عدة أشهر لتُصبح إداري عالمي (أول إداري عالمي عربي طبعًا)! تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 06:21, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

مرحبًا مُجددًا علاء، المقالات لم تُحذف جميعها، يبدو بأن المُخرب شتت انتباهك لأن كل ما أقوم بترشيح مقالة للشطب يقوم بالرجوع عن الشطب حتى تختفي من التصنيف. بالتالي أرجو أن تُراجع مُساهماتي في ويكيبيديا التشامورية. وأيضًا مُساهماتي في ويكيبيديا البمبرية. عُذرًا للإزعاج. تحياتي.--Faisal ^talk 10:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

@فيصل: والآن؟ --Alaa :)..! 11:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

الآن تمام، حُذفت جميع المقالات. طبعًا هُناك عديد المقالات التخريبية في المشاريع الصغيرة والتي لا تحتوي على إداريين، وأقوم حاليًا بترشيحهم للشطب، وسأُحاول الحصول على صلاحية إداري عالمي لتسهيل العمل. شُكرًا علاء. تحياتي.--Faisal ^talk 11:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

عُذرًا علاء، هذه مقالات نسيت لا أرشحها للحذف، هل يُمكنك حذفها بشكل سريع الآن، وشُكرًا مُقدمًا وعُذرًا على الإزعاج. [1].--Faisal ^talk 20:49, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

شُكرًا لجهودك علاء. المُخرب عاد من جديد في موسوعة أخرى خاملة، رشحت عدد من صفحات للحذف في هذا الرابط. استفسار، هل هُناك مكان لتقديم طلبات كهذه في الميتا؟ حتى أقوم بتقديم طلبات مُستقبلاً بدلاً من مُراسلة المضيفين في صفحة نقاشهم؟ شُكرًا سلفًا.--Faisal ^talk 04:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

مرحبًا @فيصل:، وعذرًا للتأخر بالرد. لاحظت أنَّ Minorax مشكورًا قد حذف الصفحات. نعم يمكنك تقديم هذه الطلبات في طلبات الإداريين العالميين، وأيضًا من المؤكد جدًا بأنه لا مانع من مراسلتك لي، ومُرحب بك في أي وقت! تحياتي وشكرًا لمجهودك الدائم --Alaa :)..! 11:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

cross wiki spam

تحياتي صديقي, أعتقد أن هذه المقالة هي سبام, حيث أن نفس المستخدم قد أضافها في عدة مشاريع, أعتقد أنها حذفت من ويكي الفارسي أكثر من مرة أو أنني أشتبه بالاسم, الشخصية موضوع المقالة تعتمد على مصدر شبه وحيد و هو IMDB, الإدعاء أنه مخرج لكن بالمراجعة, هي 5 أعمال عبارة عن أفلام ديجتال توثيقية قصيرة و لم أعثر عليها حتى!, الجوائز معظمها غير صحيح و مصادرها إما فيس بوك أو ووردبريس أو غير موجود أو مقالات على مواقع إيرانية بصيغة إنجليزية بسيطة و خبر بسيط, ربما الموضوع بحاجة لبحث أكثر لكن هذا ما استنتجه لحد الآن, تحياتي.

Possible sock

Hello Alaa, congratulations on being the Wikimedian of the Year! Just found out, I'm never up-to-date with these kind of things. :D Anyways, while using SWViewer, I found Mehmet Han Mehmet asking patrollers on trwiki to create the article of Ali Al Suleiman: tr:Special:Diff/26041497, tr:Special:Diff/26044000, tr:Special:Diff/26044019. I think he might be a sockpuppet of the obvious. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 18:05, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

RE: Hello Styyx, thanks a lot ! Yes, it's confirmed socks for this LTA, I checked, confirmed and globally locked it. I found another account confirmed with this sock, both documnted! Best --Alaa :)..! 18:27, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

A Community Wishlist Survey update waiting for translation

Hello! Would you be able to translate the newest update about the Community Wishlist Survey 2022? In short: instead of November 2021, the CWS will happen in January 2022. We would also like to make other improvements. We can't do that without having the volunteers' opinions. This is what we ask for in the message.

After the weekend, I'll send this to all Village Pumps, Cafes, Forums, etc. Our team would like as many people as possible not to ignore this message. Let's remove the language barrier.

Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) 01:29, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello SGrabarczuk (WMF), Arabic translation done now; see Community Wishlist Survey/Updates/ar. Best --Alaa :)..! 08:20, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Hasan; please note that time stamp is "Not ending before 20 September 2021 02:43 UTC", so it's the minimum date, not that maximum. Also, we (stewards) will close it soon, as it's under steward private discussion. Best --Alaa :)..! 15:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC) C)

Growth Newsletter #19

Welcome to the nineteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects.

Structured tasks

"Add an image" prototype, showing suggested image for the article

• "Add a link" is the team's first structured task. It uses machine-learning to suggest wikilinks as easy edits for newcomers. It was deployed in May 2021 on four Wikipedias and then in July on eight more Wikipedias after we evaluated the initial results. So far, we've seen a high level of engagement from newcomers. Communities that have the feature suggested valuable ideas for improvement. We'll work on improvements and then contact more communities to deploy it.
• "Add an image" is the team's second structured task, currently in development. It is an editing task that suggests Commons images for unillustrated Wikipedia articles. We have conducted many community discussions and tests. Then, we've decided to build a first prototype. We'll first deploy it only to our pilot Wikipedias, to learn whether newcomers can be successful with the task. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. These prototypes have already been tested by newcomers, in English and Spanish.

News for mentors

• The Mentor dashboard is available at our pilot wikis: Arabic, Czech, and Bengali Wikipedias. It will soon be available at a few more volunteering wikis, as a test. [2]
• At wikis where the mentor dashboard is deployed, a new filter is available for mentors. Mentors can monitor their mentees' activity in Watchlist and RecentChanges, so they can help support their mentees' work. For privacy reasons, this filter can't be accessed by someone else than the mentor itself. This filter only filters mentees assigned to the mentor. This filter is not visible for people who are not listed as mentors [3]

Community configuration

• Communities now have the ability to configure how Growth features behave on their own wikis. At Special:EditGrowthConfig, community members can add a list of volunteer mentors, alter the templates used for suggested edits, update help links, and more. This special page is editable by administrators and interface admins.

Scaling

• We are proud to announce that all Wikipedias now have the Growth features! Thank you to all the community members who helped the team build the features and bring them to their wikis. The only exception is Chinese Wikipedia (zh), for technical reasons. [4]
• The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 280 of the smallest of those Wikipedias have the features. [5][6]
• A test is undergoing at English Wikipedia: 25% of newcomers receive the Growth features. The results from this test will be part of a discussion of how to proceed on that wiki.
• Now that Growth features are available at Wikipedia, the Growth team considers to extend them to other projects. Some Wikisource users have expressed some interest in getting Growth features. There is currently a discussion about implementing them on Wikisource.

News for communities

• Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work.
• The Growth features were recently used in a test amongst Latin American donors to give donors the opportunity to learn to edit. You can see the results here.
• Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
• Help:GettingStarted was a feature developed in 2013, which directed newcomers to articles that needed editing. We recently removed this feature from all wikis, because it has been replaced by the Growth features.

Global ban of User:İsmail Kendir's IP range

Hi, Alaa. How are you? I am Kadıköylü- patroller from Trwiki. I added a new request. Could you look at? Thanks a lot. Regards--Kadıköylü (talk) 16:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

(Special:permalink/22077615) Hello Kadıköylü, as @DarkMatterMan4500: said that "It was locked 4 months ago" by AmandaNP. But I read that you ask for "global ban for İsmail Kendir's IP range". We can't do that, as there's local Check users on projects he edited and blocked on; i.e. trwiki, enwiki and dewiki. You'd ask them to check his account or new socks, and do what they see suitable (block socks, IPs or ranges). Best --Alaa :)..! 17:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Importer Request on SRP

Hello @علاء hope you have a great time, i have a question to ask, is there any problem with my Request here, i wonder if i made a mistake or something, I requested accordingly to Voting Requirements, i may seem impatient, but i think requesting TransWiki Importer for two months, can't be big deal to wait for 3-4 days? what do you think Thank you -🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:14, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sakura emad, thanks and hope you are doing well. The request done now. Best --Alaa :)..! 07:33, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

thank you ^_^ Alaa-san 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 08:53, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Sock

Hi Alaa! I hope you are doing well. I nominated two articles for deletion on enwiki (1, 2) and an user called Gazeteci Mesut showed up. The name is identical to Gazeteci Sabah TR and Wikipedian Mesut, both socks of علي أبو عمر, so I think this might be a sock as well. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 11:34, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Styyx. Thanks, I hope things are also going well for you. I locked both accounts; عائشة المقدسي and Gazeteci Mesut. Both are confirmed socks, I don't know how we didn't notice the first one, as it's active since 5 months on several projects. I deleted both articles on Arabic Wikipedia, because it's created by LTA socks. I documented both. Please put a notice on both AfD about those socks. Thanks in advance --Alaa :)..! 12:38, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi again. Ahmad Omar 1453 appeared or trwiki a few days ago and started editing an article created by one of the users above and created an article related to Al Suleiman. Also created a draft about the same website on enwiki. The username is again a mix of what he used previously. Pretty obvious duck to me. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 10:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Styyx, thanks! Confirmed, locked and documnted. FYI Blablubbs. Best --Alaa :)..! 16:52, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I axed the page creation. Blablubbs (talk) 18:23, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

┌─────────┘
Emir Ufuk 290 is probably also a sock: interest on same articles. ~Styyx^{Talk? ^-^} 06:27, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Styyx. Confirmed, locked and documented. Best --Alaa :)..! 06:43, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
