On16 September 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the German non-profit organisation GWUP annually tests persons claiming paranormal skills (and seeking a €10,000 reward), but nobody has ever passed the test? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Your change of the article's name from Dorit Rubinstein Reiss to Dorit Reiss was inappropriate. You should have discussed it with someone. Her formal name in professional circles is Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, not the truncated, and frankly unacceptable, name you used. You might have taken a bit of your time to put it on talk? The problem is that I don't know how to revert your error.
I thought one of the primary attributes of Wikipedia is that we discuss big changes. And you changed someone's name arbitrarily. Explain to me why you did this? Oh wait. I don't care. SkepticalRaptor (talk) 05:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Humanism Ireland cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Hi! Just saw that you created a page about Marsh, but I'm not entirely convinced that he's independently notable. Almost all of the sources are only mentions of him or pieces written by him, and none appear to be directly about him. I'm tempted to AfD the article but I know you've put a lot of work into it so wanted to get your thoughts on the sourcing first. Thanks, SamWalton (talk) 10:36, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Evidence of recent pollution of the British spelling :)
However, I'll grant that the OED allows both, though it does say, "Now usually spelt sceptic in the U.K. and British Commonwealth and skeptic in the U.S. Similarly all the derivatives, scepticism/skepticism, etc." Now why would you want to revert my edit? — Hebrides (talk) 21:34, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Acre, Israel into Ptolemais in Phoenicia. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Fireworks policy in the Republic of Ireland is an incredibly specific article that is, nonetheless, well-written and researched. Its content is a valuable addition wherever it ends up. Chetsford (talk) 06:20, 18 January 2018 (UTC) |

Hello! I'm sorry, but my English is very bad! Some points of Your EditinFireworks#Government regulations around the world#Germany are not correct, the reference (http://www.deutschlandfunk.de/feuerwerk-sicher-durch-die-silvesternacht.735.de.html?dram:article_id=406860) contains some mistakes (German journalists mostly are not good informed about fireworks).
In Germany people of 18 years and older (see § 20, 1. SprengV (= Erste Verordnung zu Sprengstoffgesetz)) can buy fireworks of Category F2 on the last three days of the year (29/12 - 31/12). If one of these days is a Sunday the sale starts on 28/12 (see § 22 I, 1. SprengV). People of 18 years and older are allowed to ignite fireworks of Category F2 on 31/12 and 1/1, but it is forbidden to ignite fireworks near churches, hospitals, children's homes, rest homes and flammable buildings (i.e. thatched houses) (see § 23 I + II, 1. SprengV). German municipality are authorised to limit the number of hours for fireworks『mit ausschließlich Knallwirkung』(i.e. firecrackers, Dutch: knalvuurwerk).
In Germany there are some restrictions in Category F2 for people without pyrotechnical license: i.e. No flash powder in Firecrackers and cakes of firecrackers; rockets (Vuurpijlen) are limited to 20g NEM (Kruitgewicht); (see §20 IV, 1. SprengV).

Hello Nederlandse Leeuw,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Fireworks policy in the United States for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Leaving Islam, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ex-communist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Dear Lion, I noticed that you constructed a timeline for Second Stadtholderless Period, which is quite useful (like the other ones you made that I don't mention). I just finished a complete rewrite of Patriottentijd and that article would profit from a similar banner, as it is impossible to write the narrative completely in the order of the events in a meaningful way, but that way it is difficult for the reader to keep track of the dates. Could I prevail on you to do it, or could you at least help me do it myself? Thanks in anticipation.--Ereunetes (talk) 22:04, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article has too much unnecessary detail. For example the "Prizes awarded" section is superfluous as well as being entirely unsourced.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

I've seen you are contributing to Wikipedia. I wanted to create a separate article for a former country: the Republic of Geneva, founded by John Calvin in 1541. Currently, it redirects to Canton and Republic of Geneva, which is essentially the second reincarnation of the same thing (restored during the Swiss Restauration). I don't have time to make it, but I thought you might be interested.Ernio48 (talk) 14:12, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nederlandse Leeuw. I spend time working on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. I am not an administrator. Based on your edits to Nederlandse Leeuw Pepijn van Erp and the materials on your user page, it appears not unlikely that you may have a real world relationship with Leeuw van Erp. Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how the editing community defines and manages conflict of interest. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, Nederlandse Leeuw. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors themselves - please see WP:Wikipedia is in the real world, and Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing.
As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Leeuw van Erp? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 16:13, 16 September 2018 (UTC) (fix my mistake Jytdog (talk) 14:57, 17 September 2018 (UTC))
Hi!
On Wikipedia, I mostly put up and edit skepticism-related stuff in English and Swedish. I don't have any connection to the Guerilla Skepticism group, but I think you have. So my question to you, and the entire group, is, have you (as in the group) considered making a common effort at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeptical_movement page? I think it is a pretty strange practice to have it set up as "skeptical movement" rather than as "scientific skepticism" (which it previously was), and what kind of effort could be better at making it excellent than a coordinated effort by dedicated skeptical Wikipedians?

Please don’t upload / add to the article any images or videos that are not in public domain or not explicitly authorized by the copyright holders. No video or images uploaded to any platform by a third party marked as authorized to free re-use makes those videos or images free for use. That’s YouTube washing. That includes someone adding translations to a video and releasing them. Those are stolen and are copyrights violations. Bohbye (talk) 15:34, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
An article you recently created, List of former Jesuits, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

A tag has been placed on Category:Saudi Arabian emigrants to Germany requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nominationbyvisiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

I removed some material taken from https://fot.humanists.international/countries/asia-southern-asia/iran licensed under CCBYSA4 you recently added to Capital punishment for non-violent offenses; unfortunately, we can't use content under that license like we can with other cc licenses. If you added any other content under that license, please tell me where. Thanks, Moneytrees🌴Talk🌲Help out at CCI! 01:00, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Glad for your thank-you, made me realize I'd made a mistake. It would seem it is death at the federal level in the UAE, not just for adultery, but there is evidently some doubt about that and it's never been used. I'd reverted my error on the map a few hours ago but this article slipped my mind. — kwami (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

@Nederlandse Leeuw: Hi once again, since I came across a ref about pre-2007 precursor sort I added the same with a subsection European precursor. With reference to your above discussion please do have a look and review if the same is suitable, need change or we wait for better ref.
Thanks Bookku (talk) 08:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
@Bookku: I hope you don't mind me butting in, and I really wanted to comment yesterday but got sidetracked. I think there is definitely a use for this sort of article in Wikipedia. What you are describing fits under life-after-cults, or any "life after" any of several tightly-controlled groups that operate using mind control, belief systems, and pressures (by society, the group, and an individual's family). Though one might think that it could fit under any other wiki article about "leaving cults" (I don't even know if there are any), the ex-Muslim has struggles unique to Islam, Islamic culture, and Arabic-type cultures. I applaud you for tackling the subject as a new article, because the material is VAST. As to the name of the article, I recommend you keep working on the draft (as I see is being done) and the name will fall into place later. I implore you not to select a lengthy title, such as Ex-Muslim thought, life and activism, because that sounds like the title of a book, not a wiki article. Good luck on this venture, and do let me know if I can help. Normal Op (talk) 03:00, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Great job on List of wars in the Low Countries until 1560, it gives quite an insight into how poorly Dutch medieval history is covered here.--Catlemur (talk) 18:28, 29 August 2020 (UTC) |
Thank you! To be fair, a lot of these wars have not yet been covered in their native languages on Dutch, French, Luxembourgish or German Wikipedia either, with many not even having been given a name by historians (as far as I'm aware), so this is my attempt at raising awareness about their historical existence. I've also just published the List of wars in the southern Low Countries (1560–1829) in order to cover all post-medieval wars in that region before the establishment of the independent Belgian and Luxembourgish states in the 19th century. Quite often, people are unaware of these wars, or frame them misleadingly as 'Belgian' wars before Belgium even existed, or use the ambiguous term 'Southern Netherlands', so I titled it 'southern Low Countries' to also include the non-Habsburg territories there. Hopefully this will improve understanding and awareness. :) Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi there,
The picture you added to Religion in Iran is hard to read because of the image quality. It also has a typo in it so I am wondering if it really is from the CIA?

Hi Nederlandse Leeuw,
Take a look at Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles#Unintented_side-effects. What I haven't mentioned (but which should be mentioned) is about road development in developing countries (which sometimes have very high rates of biodiversity and forests which store carbon and thus release of CO2 when they're cut for roads, ...).
Also, perhaps mention the MOT (I doubt annual car revision is as good in developing countries as in the EU/UK, and some people there may perhaps avoid it (illegal driving), and some countries may not have it at all).
Also, probably not yet clear here is that new electric car vehicle sales don't mean reduced emissions, rather with legislation being as it is it actually means more emissions. This, as the existing ICE vehicle isn't removed from the road but rather is sold to developing countries (meaning someone there which was other means of transport, say the bike) gets a new (ICE) vehicle, often emitting fossil fuels, and the new electric vehicle increases emissions too (albeit lower then the ICE vehicle).
Will also have additional negative externalities which may even be higher. This because more vehicles will mean more need of additional roads. Opening up roads means increased logging (as it's easier to find more more big trees (exotic wood for furniture, ...) and wildlife trade (both of which means lower biodiversity, and the increased logging will mean more emissions).
Perhaps it's also a good idea to mention the US, China and Australian situation, rather then just looking at Europe (although they are probably not shifting to electric as quickly as Europe now is) ?
Genetics4good
Electric vehicle conversions are also a good alternative, because at very least you don't have all manufacturing emissions of a new electric car, lower costs (if done DIY), and you actually take a fossil fuel vehicle off the road as well. It should be ensured that people in developing countries don't move from emissionless vehicles (like bikes, or just walking, ...) to a 2nd hand (ICE) car because then we increase the "total global number of cars". User:Genetics4good
Hey Nederlandse Leeuw,
I made a page called Non-exhaust emissions and added in a link at the environmental aspects of the electric car page. It currently redirects to rubber pollution. However, I think it should be worked out as its own article (as it also includes brake, road wear, and road dust resuspension). I also think other articles (like car, ...) and other articles about internal combustion engine vehicles should mention it, because on those pages, it's never mentioned (only exhaust emissions tend to be mentioned) but those vehicles have both issues (exhaust and non exhaust emissions)
@ User:Nederlandse Leeuw
Hello once again and greetings.
I happened to come across a September article https://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/debatt/i/PR3m8z/eksmuslimer-i-norge-er-en-glemt-og-dobbelt-utsatt-minoritet
I read it with Google translate. If you find this to be useful as a reference then you may give a thought to add in Draft:Ex-Muslims#Challenges_and_movements
One more thing is a persecution tracker page has been introduced by https://persecution.exmuslims.org/cases I don't know if it would be okay to add as an external link in any of Wikipedia articles.
Thanks for your proactive support to the article.
Thanks and warm regards

Hey NederlandseLeeuw,
I saw you just did some edit work on Carte Jaune. I just did a bit of work on Immunity_passport, but there's one particular thing that hasn't been made clear here: does some sort of electronic health records exist that contain vaccination records data or is there some sort of "electronic" Carte Jaune allowing people to verify another person's vaccination records. Would be quite useful if that indeed exists, and I assume it should and probably "will?" exist, since it's vital for preventing disease dispersal, and it's probably asked for at airports and what not. The Carte Jaune exists, but writings on that may be unclear (doctors don't always write clearly), electronic records won't get lost that easily and they're just much more practical (as that data can also be shared online).
Can you look into this, and explain that further. I'm not getting anywhere further on that. --Genetics4good (talk) 18:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

For all your hard work cleaning up/updating Marital rape laws by country John B123 (talk) 18:35, 3 February 2021 (UTC) |
Thank you! I'm humbled, I think it would be more deserved for the related new article I'm writing about, namely sexual consent in law. It deals extensively with the issue of consent both within marriage and outside of it, and for that the article marital rape laws by country (some of the material I originally gathered for marital rape, but you worked out exceptionally well in this new separate article, for which I'd like to thank you again, too!) is really handy for finding the relevant laws, as there is a lot of overlap between the two. I saw you already reviewed my new article – again, thank you! – and I was wondering if you'd like to take a closer look and see if there is anything to correct or add, if you feel so inclined? For now, I'm going through all countries of the world by order of population size, to see what their laws say about consent and coercion in the context of sexual offences. In some cases like Iraq, it's difficult to say on which side of those legal perspectives they are. I skipped Vietnam for that reason, and it seems like in Mexico it depends on all states' laws, so that could also be very complicated. Anyway, let me know if you'd like to cooperate on any of these issues. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Bookku (talk) 04:16, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Nederlandse Leeuw, You are right non practicing ones can be cultural Muslims or Apostates either of it. Same time to conservative interpretations admitting or acting like non practicing amounts to Apostasy in Islam, so it remains a confusing status. I do agree her statement may be deliberately playing bit safe. Does that make a case for separate list of such people ?
Actually there was a break in my initial reading of news and I posted message to you, I should have referred to her mirror.co.uk column I did end up quoting daily mail instead. I don't know what is Wikipedia rule for mirror.co.uk specially it is one's official column of a notable person.
In my above message I have discussed on one more topic, I suppose encyclopedic coverage of humor as activism tool can be improved.
One more point related to topic at hand, I don't know if you already noticed of recent significant changes to Apostasy in Islam by one user, it would be better some one reviews recent changes there.
Thanks and warm regards
You've been active on Apostasy in Islam. It's now 366,436 bytes big. What would you think of dividing the article? I thought hiving off the section of apostasy by country would be a natural divide. (Comment here) --Louis P. Boog (talk) 22:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Very good job with Apostasy in Islam by country. If the article runs into any difficulty, and for a topic like this that's is always possible, let me knowonmy talk p.and I'll help DGG ( talk ) 06:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC) |
Thank you! To be clear and fair, as the talk page section above shows, this article is split off from the Apostasy in Islam article. I have contributed a lot to that section before making it a separate article, but so have Louis P. Boog and others; it's not only my work. But I appreciate the compliment insofar as it is due. :) Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:16, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

It seems you have been working on few women related topics, and few more of the articles I work (My partial list of interest ), there may be some chance that they would overlap on some aspects or you might come across some refs you might want to share like Draft:Sexual politics, Draft:Women, conflict and conflict zones.

I've just been looking at Cruise_ship_pollution_in_Europe where you added some text that currently reads
"However, even though shifting all cruise ships to LNG would be very beneficial to human health, LNG also contains methane, which is a very potent greenhouse gas and would increase global warming significantly.[6]"
I'm not sure that's true. LNG may indeed contain methane, and it is a potent greenhouse gas, but this is in the fuel - it'll get burnt by the ship.
The only time methane is a problem is when it gets into the atmosphere, which for this fuel can only be from a leak.
Secondly the article you link to is paywalled (as well as being in Dutch) and doesn't make a good reference.

Greetings @ Nederlandse Leeuw
I am looking for some copy edit help for Draft:Ex-Muslim activism in Kerala where in I have tried to improve the draft content as per feed back received on the article talk page and maintenance tags.
I need also guidance:
Lead of the draft as of now starts as
This lead statement depends on above sentence in the draft body content:
One c/e user has tagged above said sentence in the article for clarification needed i.e. Template:Clarify .
Frankly the sentence included by me in draft body content is bit awkwardly paraphrased to avoid copyright issues, the original sourced sentence of P. Sandeep from this news 18 article's last sentence is as follows:
So how the sentence/ information included by me can be improved that the sentence shall cease to attract Template:Clarify. I request your help and guidance.
Thanks and warm regards

Template:Death of Judas narrative comparison has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. Nigej (talk) 07:30, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for all your work on that page. I think there was a "fog of war" effect happenning initially, but things are a bit clearer. Seems the column is dispersing, looks like its not going to be an obvious part of a siege of Kyiv anyway. Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.
The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [11] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.
The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.
Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:20, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Nederlandse Leeuw, I nominated Levantine Article for FAC. As you contributed to Modern Standard Arabic in the past, I thought you could be interested in reviewing this nomination. Thanks for any help you can provide. A455bcd9 (talk) 08:09, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Nederlandse Leeuw. This is a bit of a long shot, but back in August 2020 you added some references to this article and I was wondering if you remember what work "Kielstra 1917" referred to? Unfortunately you didn't specify a full cite at the time, and even after a lot of searching I can't identify it. It's obviously Egbert Broer Kielstra, but the only 1917 work I can find (De Indische archipel: geschiedkundige schetsen) doesn't appear to match the page numbers you gave. - LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:26, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, just a heads-up that if I suddenly disappear for several days it does not mean I no longer want to take part in the discussion at this AfD. I'm just busy with work these days, e.g. I pulled a 13 hr shift just yesterday and my body is hating me for it now haha (the delightful existence of the industrial working class, eh?). Also, just wanted to say that despite our differences in views regarding the article I really do appreciate your contributions, even though I disagree with some of them. In the past there have been several attempts to completely destroy the page; this got so out of hand that eventually it had to be protected for a while in 2017. It's refreshing to see someone who disagrees with its content go about tackling the issue in a civilised manner. Respect and hear from you later. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks IJzeren Jan, that's roughly what I thought, too. But explaining that in the map caption would be too long and OR, so I decided to just put "Ruthenians" in quotation marks to indicate that this is an unusual and outdated demonym/ethnonym. Those borders between Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire appear to be quite important in the various concepts of "North Slavs" that emerged in the mid-19th century. "North" often has a far more limited scope than simply all East+West Slavs, e.g. Slavs the north of Hungary, or the north of Austria-Hungary, but not necessarily beyond.

Hi Nederlandse Leeuw! I have come across a page that really needs the kind of scrutiny which have you have displayed in the North Slavs discussion. Unfortunately, I don't really have time to handle it myself, but you might be interested in having a look at it. –Austronesier (talk) 19:09, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

June 2022 issue of Contemporary French Civilization, Volume 47 seems to cover Ex-Muslim movement. May be some research article help you as and when you would like to update related topic. This is just to keep you informed.

All these numbers, except the total of 300 millions, are copied over from the Slavs#Population section of the article, where the sources are. It will take a lot of time to name all these references and copy them over to the infobox for whoever will be willing to do that. If you want to help, you could do that. -Vipz (talk) 14:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
