I think I see what happened now. I'm guessing you may have had the editing window open for a while, but then a few edits happened before you saved, so the edit conflict wasn't detected. My apologies for misunderstanding what happened. Steel1943 (talk) 16:04, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

No problem, but thanks for explaining to me what happened. I was a bit baffled at first. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:15, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Emir of Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've uploaded an "updated" version of File:Power Rangers (2017 Official Theatrical Poster).png. When uploading a version which is different is design, etc, from previous versions, it's generally considered best to simply upload the file as a new file to Wikipedia using a different filename and not as an updated version of the older one because it makes it easier to compare images, especially non-free images, and possibly determine which version is more appropriate for use in the article via the article's talk page. It also makes a difference because sometimes the source and copyright information is not the same for each image. Generally, only slightly altered versions (e.g., cropped or re-sized versions, etc.) should probably be uploaded as an "updated version". Any major change such as change in design, coloring, sponsor name, file format, etc. should probably be uploaded as a new file under a different name. Would you mind reuploading the image once again as a separate file? -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: I merely reverted it to a version uploaded by another user. I am not sure of all the details required for the new image to fulfil the non-free media usage so I will revert it back, but thanks for your advice. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 13:22, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

My mistake then. I thought you had uploaded a new version. I am not sure which of the three versions of the poster is the best one for the article. That is something which probably should be discused on the article's talk page. I am also not sure which one of the three versions was the one originally uploaded using this file name, but the very first version uploaded should be the one kept as this file and the other later different versions should be uploaded as separate files. I believe JJMC89 was trying to help clean things up a bit when they reverted back to the version from September 22, 2016, but I've asked an admin experienced with these kinds of things to take a look at the file when he gets the chance. Eventually, he or another admin will sort things out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:37, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Emir of Wikipedia,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Trump Rio de Janeiro Hotel for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, 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. Montanabw^(talk) 18:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for your note on my talk page suggesting that I might have a conflict of interest at Trump articles because I might be Melania Trump. I'm not offended, in fact it gave me a good laugh. But I just wanted to suggest (since you are relatively new here) that it's a good idea to do a little research about a person before accusing them of something. If you had done that with me, you would have discovered that (1) I have been editing here since 2006, (2) in that time I have made 45,000-or-so edits, and (3) I am an administrator. Kind of an unlikely profile to suggest that I am Melania Trump, here to make COI edits about Donald Trump. As I said, I am not offended; I just wanted to suggest a little caution on your part next time. --MelanieN (talk) 19:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Emir of Wikipedia. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Faisal of Saudi Arabia at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome!  – Corinne (talk) 02:04, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, E of WP, I was just looking at your recent edittoFaisal of Saudi Arabia, and I've got to ask you about something. According to the article Noura bint Abdul Rahman Al Saud, Faisal had a daughter named Munira with Noura bint Abdul Rahman's daughter Jawhara. If this is true, then the way it was worded before was incorrect, and the edit changing it, which you reverted, was correct. (I guess I didn't catch this when I copy-edited the article.)

This is the way it is worded now (and was before),

• His third wife, whom he married in October 1935, was Al Jawhara bint Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Al Kabir, the daughter of his aunt, Nuora bint Abdul Rahman, with whom Faisal had a daughter, Munira.

The way this is worded, with the adjective clause "with whom Faisal had a daughter, Munira" following the name "Nuora bint Abdul Rahman", makes it sound as if Faisal had a daughter with his aunt Nuora bint Abdul Rahman instead of with his wife Jawhara.

I believe the other editor was right to clarify this. One way to clarify it is to start a new sentence, as the other editor did, making it clear that it was with Jawhara that Faisal had a daughter. You might want to undo your revert.  – Corinne (talk) 18:58, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

@Corinne: Thanks for keeping on a watch on the article. It is true that Faisal a daughter named Munira with a woman called Jawhara who was the daughter of Noura bint Abdul Rahman's daughter. I believed that the way it was worded was okay, but I understand your concern. I will undo my revert, as the other editor does make it more clear even if it split into another sentence.
