Your submission at Articles for creation: PaddyMacConghaile (January 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:PaddyMacConghaile/sandbox/PaddyMacConghaile and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:PaddyMacConghaile/sandbox/PaddyMacConghaile, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:PaddyMacConghaile/sandbox/PaddyMacConghaile

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:PaddyMacConghaile/sandbox/PaddyMacConghaile, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Jeff G. ツ 14:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Sphynx cat. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 22:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't an attempt to lighten it up. It is actually a common way to refer to the sphynx cat in popular culture. Please tell me where it says on the rules of editing that I am not allowed to make reference to how certain things are viewed in popular culture. PaddyMacConghaile (talk) 21:01, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy) appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. tgeorgescu (talk) 10:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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 special powers 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 practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

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.

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 {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi PaddyMacConghaile. I want to call your attention to the part of the above message that mentions the 500 edits restriction. You can read more at WP:ARBECR. You've breached this restriction a few times now. Please read or re-read it and speak up if you have any questions. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jessicapierce. I noticed that you recently removed content from 'Ajam of Kuwait without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jessicapierce (talk) 03:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be more clear - you removed a large amount of sourced content, which probably needs a Talk page discussion first, Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 03:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added a section to the talk page on the article in question. Abdulhakim1917 (talk) 11:14, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Marafi + Musawi

Many reliable sources which confirm the Marafi family are Ajam (عيم)

The vast majority of Marafi family members consider themselves عيم

Just because one member of the Marafi family alleges the family has Qahtani ancestry doesn't mean it's true. Anyone can claim anything. In Kuwait, some people try to lie about their ancestry to fit into society especially considering the rise of xenophobic discourse

Most people in Kuwait (99.999% of Kuwaiti citizens) consider the Marafi family and Musawi family as Ajam عيم

And most Musawi family members in Kuwait consider themselves عيم

Respectfully, you are not in any position to choose people's identities for them

Even Ayatollah Khomeini and Khamenei are Sayyids, do you consider Khomeini and Khamenei Arabs? illogical. There are millions of Sayyids in Iran, some say there are over 6 million Iranian Sayyids. Musawi (Musavi) is a very common Iranian family name

Since you're a Mizrahi Jew, you of all people understand the complexity and multi-facetedness of identity

Kindly stop vandalising the Wikipedia page to fit your own agenda

in the Kuwaiti context, Ajam refers to citizens of Iranian descent regardless of ethnic origin; Iran is a multi ethnic country therefore the Ajam originate from different ethnic groups. Including the Sayyid families (some Sayyids are even Qazvini and Azerbaijani)

The Marafie family themselves claim Qahtani origin, not Ajami, Arab Qahtani origin

The definition of Ajami is literally "Non-Arab person", so the entire Marafie family is not Ajami. By definition.

And yes, in the context of the Arab world a Sayyid is always an Arab, however since Khomeini is an Iranian citizen he is also Iranian. Abdulhakim1917 (talk) 11:06, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Marafie family do not claim Qahtani tribal origin. Only one male member of the Marafie family claims Qahtani origin (he published a book about it that was refuted by other members of the Marafie family). In the context of Kuwait (and Bahrain) the Musawi family are Ajam. The definition of Ajami in Kuwait is not "non Arab" it's literally Kuwaiti citizens of Iranian ancestry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1851:1F:BC42:24DF:3639:F956:1969 (talk) 17:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The diwan of the Marafie family itself talks about its Qahtani origins, additionally the Marafie family tree goes back to Qahtan. http://diwanmarafie.com/En/Marafie_history_2.htm Abdulhakim1917 (talk) 21:53, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Diwan Marafie website is not the official representative of the Marafie family of Kuwait. It's an old website dating back to 2009 that is unofficial and presents zero evidence. Anyone can claim anything on the internet. Anyone on the internet can fabricate ancestry without providing any actual evidence. If this Qahtan family tree is true, then people in Kuwait would all know about it. Tribal Arabian families of Kuwait do not consider the Marafie family as people of Qahtani tribal origins. Wikipedia is supposed to present facts, not unfounded allegations. Since the 1970s, there has been so much scholarly research related to the family's Iranian ancestry and Farsi mother tongue in pre-oil Kuwait. The research comes from the world's most renowned universities and by Kuwaiti researchers funded by the Kuwaiti government. Logically speaking if the tribal origin is true, the family would even sue the researchers in court because lying about the family's origin may constitute defamation. Yet none of the Marafie family members ever did that because the family is indeed of Iranian origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1851:1F:BC42:858F:F9EE:E200:CD53 (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian ancestry does not cancel out Qahtani origin. They have Iranian ancestry for sure, but that is not their ORIGIN, and in the context of the Arab world that makes it impossible for them to be Ajami because it is literally BY DEFINITION not Ajami. Additionally, if you knew the first thing about Kuwaiti families, you would know that Diwan Marafie is literally the Marafie family website. They update it regularly with pictures from their own Diwan. Go to the talk page on the article in question to contest my claim. Abdulhakim1917 (talk) 00:13, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
