List of cities in Africa by population

Hello,

Before coming to call me an Egyptian propagandist check the sources used. I simply relied on this site https://populationstat.com/africa/ https://populationstat.com/egypt/cairo. This page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinshasa also relied on this site for the number https://populationstat.com/democratic-republic-of-the-congo/kinshasa and this site also indicates that Kinshasa is second.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Arab–Israeli conflict ↗''', a topic designated as '''contentious ↗'''. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system.

<p>Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.</p><p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}

Acknowledging receipt

Hi Bruhpedia!
Thanks for your note ↗. I don't have time right now to reply, but hope to be able to do solkater today. Regards, Technopat (talk) 12:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:Hi again! Sorry 'bout that... sometimes work gets in the way!
:Regarding the use of the image of an internationally recognised symbol of solidarity with victims of domestic violence and a call to action to end this violence, I don't see what the issue is. If hovering the mouse over the infobox or any other image on an article page produces an unclear idea of what it represents (I'm taking for granted that doing so also produces the corresponding alt text, but I haven't had time to check that one out), the user has the option of looking for further clarification. But we're clearly dealing with an image that is a "natural and appropriate representation[s] of the topic", as per MOS:LEADIMAGE ↗, certainly not a "potentially offensive image", as per MOS:OMIMG ↗. Nor is it something that could enter into conflict with anything in WP:DISC ↗.

:As for your last point, regarding it being a "personal and controversial subject", I understand that some people may generally disagree with the use of the purple ribbon as a symbol against domestic violence, possibly due to differing views on how to best address the issue. I guess some may feel that focusing on a single symbol is too simplistic in that it doesn't adequately represent the complexities of domestic violence. Others may have personal experiences with domestic violence that make them uncomfortable with even dealing with the issue. Be that as it may, it is a simple symbol to raise awareness of this important issue and encourage people to take action to prevent it. But that is not the function of Wikipedia; we're here to ensure, among other things, that WP:NPOV ↗ prevails. And I reckon that deleting said symbol would be a clear violation that particular pillar ↗. --Technopat (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks! I do have some concerns with the ribbon being the lead image.
::It's a symbol, rather than a representation. A Wikipedia reader is accessing articles to learn about the subject matter. The image should tell them something about the subject matter. MOS:LEADIMAGE ↗ introduces the concept of lead images as follows: "It is common for an article's lead or infobox to carry a representative image—such as of a person or place, a book or album cover—to give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page." This is not a representative image and does not give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page.
::It's just an image of a ribbon that some people have decided to adopt as a symbol of solidarity for domestic abuse victims, though at least as many have used it to stand with the victims of pancreatic cancer, and still more have used to raise awareness of Alzheimer's. The article for purple ribbon ↗ lists eleven causes this shade of purple is used to raise awareness of, and another seven that use various other shades of purple. As such, I don't think it is a "natural and appropriate representation of the topic," and it does not "illustrate the topic specifically", which is the core requirement in MOS:LEADIMAGE ↗.
::My concern on the last point was that someone may had made the call that any representation at all could be "triggering" and therefore "harmful" to survivors, and so made the lead image this euphemistic symbol that neither provides any information about the topic nor depicts it, instead signaling a vague "we stand with you." This is an inherently political statement and would violate WP:NPOV ↗, both because the entire notion of harm from triggers is highly controversial and because, as unfortunate as it is, WP:NPOV ↗ is non-negotiable and we should aim to avoid taking such anodyne and near-universal opinions as "domestic violence is bad" and "we should stand with survivors."
::I'm taking such a strong stance here because I'm worried about the precedent it sets. If we start relaxing our editorial standards on issues 99.9% of editors agree with, like domestic violence being bad, what about issues at 95? 80? The second we start curbing Wikipedia's core mission of serving as a repository of knowledge to take a stance on a universally-popular issue or to avoid making domestic abuse victims feel bad, we open the door to doing the same to the pages for Palestine or Israel. Everyone is perfectly justified in his own head, so we can't use a subjective standard. And, unfortunately, pedantic and unpopular calls like getting rid of the ribbon are part of that.
::That the ribbon is an "internationally recognized symbol of solidarity with victims of domestic violence and a call to action to end this violence" is persuasive but not dispositive; in light of all the other issues presented I think the image should be moved down even if this is the case. And, again, a "call to action" runs contrary to WP:NPOV ↗, so, while we can lead with an image constituting one if it provides visual information about the topic, the call to action '''cannot''' be coming from us as editors, and I'd be especially concerned if that was part of the case for it.
::Again, this is an absurd, overpunctilious, legalistic point that's predicated on notions of objectivity rather than anything about the subject matter itself. (Domestic violence IS bad.) But I do think we should move the ribbon into the body, and replace it with a historical representation, such as a painting. ''Any'' photograph comes close to MOS:OMIMG ↗.

:::Hi again! Let me start off by saying that I've only had time to read through your points very superficially and I have to say that you they are excellent and that, at least on a first reading, I agree with all of them. Except when I got to that very last bit... "and replace it with a historical representation, such as a painting.", which seems to me more likely to be "triggering" and therefore "harmful" to survivors", as you put it. I have to rush off now, but will go over your points again and, if necessary, reply. But in the meantime, fully agree with you ("pending review"). I guess the next step is to bring it up on the article talk page, get consensus on it (for better or for worse), to preempt future deletion/reposition war-editing. Cheers!

::::Thanks! Appreciate it! A painting was just an idea I threw out as perhaps less triggering than a photo, to balance the goals of representation/informing the reader while not being gratuitous—not super material to the underlying point.

I disagree with an edit.

Hi, I don't agree with this edit ↗ to Skibidi Toilet ↗. I feel like it adds redundant information as well as removing footnotes without explanation. As Gerasimov, a Russian, only came to Georgia to attend university, Georgia as a country has little relevance to the web series. It is also obvious that whoever makes an animated web series is indeed an animator.

Can you explain the removal of the footnote? The first one I added since I noticed a widespread confusion among reliable sources on Gerasimov's nationality, and the second one to provide wikilinks. Ca <i><sup style="display:inline-flex;rotate:7deg;">talk to me!</sup></i> 01:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:It seemed redundant to clarify it twice, and, as you said, superfluous to mention it at all. People keep trying to make good-faith edits to add it, so you need the invisible comment, but it seems irrelevant to mention that he is in Georgia when, as you said, he only went there for school. I thought the footnote could be removed since we already had the invisible comment clarifying the situation, whereas that one was public-facing, potentially confusing readers who didn't even know there was a lack of clarity there. Obviously he is an animator, but Wikipedia ledes tend to follow the format "X is a [country demonym] [occupation]" and I was trying to follow that structure. You're of course welcome to add anything back. I thought it was a great footnote with a lot of info, I just didn't want to confuse readers who neither know or need to know that there is some lack of clarity around whether he is Georgian.

Non-attributed translations

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from :cz:Josef Vinecký ↗ to :Josef Vinecký ↗. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing ↗ '''requires that you provide attribution''' to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an '''edit summary ↗''' on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking ↗ it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here ↗. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution '''must be given retroactively ↗''', for example:
: <code><nowiki>NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at :fr:Exact name of French article ↗; see its history for attribution.</nowiki></code>
Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit ↗; see Repairing insufficient attribution ↗.
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively ↗, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. Thank you.  Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:05, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletions

Hello, Bruhpedia,

If you are interested in tagging an article or file for a Proposed deletion, please follow the guidlines at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#During nomination ↗ to the letter. Failure to do so can result in the article or file being untagged.

Also, if you plan to do much work on the project with article deletion, I recommend that you start using Twinkle ↗ which takes care of many of the necessary steps so that you don't have to worry about them. Twinkle is a great editing tool used by many page patrollers and administrators.
