Thanks for creating the article about Beatrice Mtetwa. I enjoyed learning about her. I noticed that you removed some red links from the article. On this wiki, we usually keep red links because they help us see what articles we are missing. Please don't remove red links just because they are red. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the articles on all the award-winning women. Could you include additional categories on them? For each one, there should be a category for the year she was born, her nationality, and possibly for her profession or what she is known for. In most cases, there should also be a DEFAULTSORT. Thanks, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:18, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, have you had a chance to look into how to categorize yet? We really need to have all the appropriate categories on articles. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 05:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Neotarf. I noticed that you created this category with only one entry. You might not have known, but we want at least three entries in every category. Are you planning to add more entries to this category? If so, please do so as soon as possible. If not, we can recategorize the one entry until we have at least three entries. Let me know. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 04:20, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

It was Category:Organizations based in Canada, Category:Freedom of expression organizations, and Category:Human rights organizations. Actually, now that I look at Category:Human rights, I see more organizations there. I'll recreate the human rights organizations category and populate it -- I should have done that before I deleted it in the first place. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:19, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Neotarf. We already had an article on this painting. However, since yours was better, I moved it over the existing one. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:00, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Neotarf. Instead of using bare urls for source citations, consider using easy to fill out templates. For example, Wikipedia:Citing sources offers several and I can find more for you if you're interested. Alternatively, you can use reFill, a tool for filling out source citations. Enter the urls as you have been doing, then go to reFill. Add the page name to the first box and in the drop-down box to the right, select "Simple". Then click on "Fix page" and wait until it fixes the page—10 to 30 seconds on average. It will check and create templates for all valid in-line sources and eliminate any dead-links. If you haven't noticed I've been using reFill for many of the pages you started that I've patrolled. It's easy and would be a big help. Thanks Rus793 (talk) 00:30, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Could you check the sources on this article? The first one could use formatting, and the second one appears to be from The New York Times, not the International Herald Tribune. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:06, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. You might not have done it on purpose, but your recent change removed helpful information from Wikipedia. We ask that you do not remove things from pages, as you did to "Photojournalism", without giving a good reason in the change summary. If it was a mistake, do not worry. The part of the article you removed has been put back. If you want to try things out, please use the sandbox. If you would like to learn how to help Wikipedia, please see the welcome page. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 23:14, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Jeff, that is very nice. It now shows up in the "articles created" tool. I have just figured out how to do barnstars, so you have one of those now. Now that you have found out you are good at creating articles, you can do one whenever you need a change of pace. :P
One thing I did notice is that you have referred to him as "private". If you look at en:MOS:SURNAME, it says "After the initial mention of any name, the person should generally be referred to by surname only, without an honorific prefix.." so Donald Trump is "Trump", not "President Trump", Jesse Jackson is "Jackson", not "Reverend Jackson", Kirama Wimalajothi is "Wimalajothi", not "Venerable Kirama Wimalajothi Thera", and John Hack would be just "Hack".
Also if you are not familiar with Wikidata you might want to take a look at that. I see a bot came by and made the interwiki link with the enwiki article, but IMO it is too easy for a bot to make a mistake on that, and I always do it myself as soon as I start the article. Interwiki links are much easier than they used to be. All you do is go to the bottom of the left column under "In other languages" and click on the pencil icon where it says "change links". For enwiki you just type "en" and it will give you a box where you can paste the article title from the other wiki. You will be amazed at how easy this is.
Also, I was wondering what a "battery" was, so I found a couple of drawings of the batteries at Vicksburg in the spring of 1863, that John Hack would have had to pass under at night in order to get supplies to the troops. 1 23 —Neotarf (talk) 22:27, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Yes, Macdonald-ross, I saw the discussion. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2018/Mohsen_Movaghar There was not any objection to the content of the article, only to the person who wrote it, as there seems to be some kind of COI, and undoubtedly a language barrier as well. Since the article was deleted, I was not able to examine it. I based the one I did on the sources in the Farsi article.
Note that I was not able to access these directly from my location but had to use the internet archive to read them, maybe this is part of why they were questioned? They do seem to be official government sites, so I see no reason to doubt their reliability, even if the material is about the previous government before the 1979 revolution. I did notice a discrepancy in the number of terms served, which looks like it was copied incorrectly, or perhaps it is listed on the site incorrectly, in any case I do not think Wikipedia can claim more than is contained in the sources. Also I forgot to add the defaultsort, if you decide to restore the article you may want to look up how they do these names in Persian/Farsi language. Neotarf (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

@Macdonald-ross, The notability criteria is taken from WP:POL which states "The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." You can see Iranian national politicians, like politicians in other places, are routinely considered to be notable on enwiki, for instance en:List of MPs elected in the Iranian legislative election, 2016 So the question is whether the sources show that he was elected to a national office.
Reading the links in Farsi is not a problem, you can do it very easily with Google Translate, especially with forms or lists that do not use complex grammar. Of course it took me literally hours to verify all of this, but it is all just routine gnoming.
میرزا حسین خان موقر
حوزه انتخابیه : خوزستان (خرمشهر) توضیحات : فوت شد.
هم هشتم ششم
..that is: "The honorable Hussein Khan, constituency or district: Khouzestan (Khorramshahr) Description: died. Sixth eighth ninth (sessions of the assembly)."
There is a further note in the margin
نمایندگان ح. ا. "خوزستان" کاربر گرامی، در این بخش فهرست نمایندگان "دوره نهم (قبل از انقلاب)، حوزه انتخابیه خوزستان" نمایش داده شده است.
that is: "Representatives of H U Khuzestan ...Dear user, in this section is the list of representatives of the "Ninth period (before the revolution), the Khuzestan constituency", verifying again the district and legislative session number. The path is further specified as "مسیر شما : مجلس شورای اسلامی › نمایندگان › میرزا حسین خان موقر" or "Parliament> Representatives> the Honorable Hussein Khan", and the website is "Islamic Parliament Research Center Of The Islamic Republic Of IRAN". If you are in a place where you can read the original website (I am not, but have wormed through this with internet archive), you can see there is an English language section, but at present it only lists the post-revolution legislature.

which works out to
Issue number: 4962
Title: the honorable Hussein Khan Exterior Features: Individual, Black & White 6 * 8 Descriptive information: Occupations: MP Farsi language Keyword: Dear Mirza Hussein Khan
Collection: 1306/06/271 Newspaper
I have bolded the part that establishes notability, that is WP:POL that the individual was a member of the national legislature: مشاغل: نماینده مجلس شورای ملی. If you take the title نماینده مجلس شورای ملی and work it through google translate, it will tell you this is a "National Assembly MP" or "member of the national majlis". You can look at the article I created on Islamic Consultative Assembly; I have not been able to determine the years of the 6th, 8th, and 9th sessions, but the 13th Majlis was in 1941.
I am not likely to spend hours trying to recreate this lost work if it is only to be judged on the basis of a deleted article somewhere else that I cannot even see, or judge what sources were used, or whether the participants even understood the notability criteria for WP:POL. This is very similar to Jalal Movaghar and even uses one of the same sources. I think you should restore the article, but of course it is up to you. If there are any other questions let me know. —Neotarf (talk) 01:38, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
