Hey. I noticed that a lot of your recent citations just use bare URLs for citation. My understanding of WP:CITE ↗ is that WP:CITEHOW ↗ specifies certain info that should be included, which bare URLs are inferior to. And you could've pasted those bare URLs into the automatic citation tool for a more detailed reference. Tell me if I'm misunderstanding, but I don't think a user warning template for bare URLs ↗ would exist otherwise. Spagooder (talk) 16:46, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
right|175px ↗
Hello Ominae!

The New Pages Patrol ↗ is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.

We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting ↗.

Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.

Kindly read the tutorial ↗ before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page ↗ with questions.

If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider '''applying here''' ↗.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give :Special Operation Group ↗ a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you.  Dl2000 (talk) 19:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

: Sorry to mention that there's a redirect of that made already many moons ago. Can't use the "move" button even if I want to. Willing to make other changes if needed. Ominae (talk) 03:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Afghan Commando Forces

I have made a few word changes for clarity. After doing that, I found only one sentence that I thought should be separated. I think you will find these changes to be minor and non-controversial. If I inadvertently made an error, please change it. As I noted on the assessment page, the lead needs to be expanded for B class. I have added citation needed tags in line with the project's B class guidelines and practice. I assume you have the available sources from which to take the citations.

There are two sentences that I think need to be clarified. (1) "A year later, in 1975, 444th Commando would be sent to Panjshir Valley ↗ in order to quell an uprising started by Ahmad Shah Massoud ↗ (then-22 years old) and Gulbuddin Hekmetyar ↗, being assisted by the Iranian SAVAK ↗ and the Pakistani ISI ↗" Did the Iranians and Pakistanis aid the 444th Commando or the forces of Massoud and Hekmetyar? If the 44th, I think the phrase "being assisted...." should be moved after the word "Commando." If the insurgents, I suggest changing "being assisted" to "who were assisted."

(2) "The Commando Brigades were, in contrast, considered reliable...." What is this "in contrast" to? This does not seem to follow directly from the preceding text. Could "in contrast" even be eliminated? This paragraph also seems to be a good point to insert another subsection heading to separate a long section devoted to the First and Second Battles of Zhawar, since the remainder of the text in that subsection is about subsequent events.

Thanks for this detailed article. Please let me know when you have made changes so I can assess the final version. Donner60 (talk) 05:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

:Thansks for that. But perhaps that oughta be directed at the person who wrote it. XD. Wouldn't have idea on a majority of pre-Taliban (1995) commando units. Ominae (talk) 02:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

::Yes. Now that I look into the history, I see that although you submitted the article for assessmsent, you had only edited it to a small extent. If the original writer does not respond with the suggested changes, the article will need to stay at start class. I will delete the assessment request for now and tell the author of most of the article to resubmit it if changes are made. Donner60 (talk) 04:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Balkans or Eastern Europe''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

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

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

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

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

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. }} TylerBurden (talk) 16:58, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Mogami-class frigate ↗! However, adding a bare URL ↗ is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot ↗. It is preferable to use proper citation templates ↗ when citing sources ↗, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation ↗. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <code><nowiki>Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</nowiki></code>
which displays ''inline ↗'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
: 1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac ↗". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool ↗, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically.
Once again, thanks for adding references to articles.  EditorGirlAL07 (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to :Special Detective Unit ↗. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on '''strong''' national ties to the topic ↗.

If you still think it is useful to keep the extra mention, please add one or both of the citations that used earlier in the article. Standing alone in another section, it cannot be supported by earlier citations for B class. I assume that the two citations mentioned with the earlier mention of the variant are citations you could add in the variant section if you want to keep it. Other than these points, I think that you have added enough to the article to make it B class. Donner60 (talk) 06:46, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:MVS screenshot.jpg

32px|left ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:MVS screenshot.jpg ↗'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use ↗. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion ↗. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to the file description page ↗ and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On the file's talk page ↗, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license ↗, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Ominae&namespace=6}} this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.  999real (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
