Greetings, Al Ameer son/Archive 16! If we have not met, I'm AutomaticStrikeout. I've come here to ask you to take part in the survey at User:AutomaticStrikeout/Are admins interested in a RfB?. I am trying to gauge the general level of interest that administrators have in running for cratship, as well as pinpoint the factors that affect that interest level. Your input will be appreciated. Happy editing, AutomaticStrikeout (T • C • Sign AAPT) 01:42, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

On 18 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Al-Sahwah, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in the late nineteenth century the residents of al-Sahwah, a Syrian village in the Hauran, paid the Druze chiefs of the area to gain access to a water canal south of the village? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Al-Sahwah. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

... it's truly heartbreaking. Thank you for keeping up the wonderful work you're doing, and I'm sorry I haven't been available much lately, but I have been quite busy IRL lately, and might be offline for quite a bit as well (I'm probably going home for a while).

No problem, and wallah it gets more and more depressing each day the war grinds on. It seems no one and nothing has been spared except for al-sayed ra'is and maybe hope still lives on as well.

Hi! I had a look at the Abd al-Rahim al-Hajj Muhammad GA nomination and posted several issues at Talk:Abd al-Rahim al-Hajj Muhammad/GA1 that need attention before the article nomination is passed. Cheers.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:19, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi again! All issues are satisfactorily addressed now, and I passed the GAN. Now I have to list the article in the GA directory, sorting by surname. I just wanted to check with you that the the surname sorting corresponds to the value given in the DEFAULTSORT tag within the article itself (Muhammad, Abd al-Rahim al-Hajj). Cheers!--Tomobe03 (talk) 08:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the surname sorting in the article should correspond with the GA listing. Thanks again for the review! --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:34, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. The article topic is very fascinating and was hardly known to me - and it made a very interesting reading. I see this is one of many GAs (besides a FA) you developed. Have you considered reviewing any GA nominations at WP:GAN?--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm really glad you've enjoyed the read. As for GAN, normally I don't review articles, but I'm willing to give it a go. I've noticed there's a pretty big backlog. --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Really wonderful work on Palestine and the Arab world. Please keep it up! And I hope you won't wait long to nominate Gamal Abdel Nasser for FA. It's an excellent article and a topic that is well overdue as Today's Featured Article. Let me know when you post it and I'll be happy to review. Regards, Lemurbaby (talk) 16:21, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Lemurbaby, keep up the good work yourself! I really appreciate your words of encouragement. At present, I'm still not confident that Nasser will pass FA, particularly because the article needs a good copyedit and some more info in the Legacy section. Also, I'd like to bring in more sources to balance the heavy use of Said Aburish's biography. All of this I will work on today. But when I do nominate the article—hopefully sooner than later—you'll be the first to know. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:27, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the advanced notice, but I must admit, you've done the majority (if not all) of the work... Even so, good luck with the GA nom. --TIAYN (talk) 09:42, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot entirely (but you've seemed to have figured it out)... From what I remember, it became the parliament one year after its establishment (or something like that), but that doesn't matter.... But for any records on what he actually did while in office as speaker and minister, you probably have to read German or Arab sources.. --TIAYN (talk) 19:33, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, if its any consolation, there are several good American books on the Ba'athist movement from the 1960s to the 80s (the books The Ba'th Party: A History from its origins to 1966, Syria under the Ba'th: 1963-1966, The Ba'th and the Creation of Modern Syria, Ba'th and Syria, 1947-1982: The Evolution of Ideology, Party and State and the Ba'th vs Ba'th (I've forgotten its name.) .... .

Hey Al Ameer son

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.
