Read MOS:ETHNICITY, as with every other person who's added that to that article that we've had to revert over the years. Remsense ‥ 论 00:22, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

:Read that, but then we should remove the part which says "Arabic-language" in the opening paragraph which is in the sentence "vastly influential Arabic-language works". That part is against the wikipedia Manual that you have mentioned, but it seems to not bother you?

:it should simply read as: "was a polymath who produced a vast amount of works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography." DrtheHistorian (talk) 00:38, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Abo Yemen. I noticed that you recently removed content from :Persian Gulf 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. 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:45, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hello Abo Yemen, Hoping all is well with you.

:I explained the reasoning now. Does not count as removed content mate. I removed false information. I have spent days reading the Rfc page of the Persian gulf and found no proof of why it should include its newly false generated name to be used, however I did not remove the "semi-protected" false content. The naming on this body of water is not even be up for a debate mate, never understood all these new generated debates out there.

:If I see I should be reasoning behind a topic I have no problems to post on the persons talk page. DrTheHistorian【Talk】 16:37, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

::If you can't at all grasp why "Arabian Gulf" should be listed, then you do not grasp what we are doing to build an encyclopedia. Kindly refrain from damaging it further if this is the case. Remsense ‥ 论 16:54, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Just following WP:COMMON NAME in English. The argument is that it is called that name in Arabic countries, which is not English. DrTheHistorian【Talk】 16:59, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

File:Stop hand nuvola.svg You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at :Persian Gulf. Remsense ‥ 论 16:47, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:Its called Disruptive editing or stubbornness, it is not considered as "vandalism". The first paragraph perfectly explains this. DrTheHistorian【Talk】 16:54, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

::If I thought you were operating in good faith, maybe. After reading the above, I can't come to that conclusion. Remsense ‥ 论 16:56, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:::It is in good faith, as the name has been on that body of water in thousands of years. We cant change history here. It is an encyclopedia where people come gain information. DrTheHistorian【Talk】 17:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Mea culpa—I simply did not notice or understand the timeline of what the page looked like when. I'll strike as appropriate. Remsense ‥ 论 17:04, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::It is all good mate. DrTheHistorian【Talk】 17:08, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

File:Stop x nuvola.svg
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of {{no ping|1=EnlightenmentNow1792|label1=User:EnlightenmentNow1792}} per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EnlightenmentNow1792. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  TheSandDoctor Talk 17:17, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{unblock|reason=:what. This is a mistake. It is wrong to block me! I have done nothing wrong.

::

::I do not have any other user, this is a wrong claim. I have never had another account on WP, I have no idea who the other user is.

::I simply read the RfC (Archive 8, Persian gulf talk page) and I found the arguments that two other users made valid therefore I tagged both users in my talk so maybe I can get them to join in and also to show that I did read and I am referencing them, one turned out to be blocked. Claims by naive user, I must be the blocked user. Thats a bizarre and a cheap claim.

::

::I stated I have been on WP since late 2000s, That is correct, as a reader and as a surfer like millions of others, thats how you get interested to make an account. Never claimed I did edits, as I even mentioned on the same thread one line down. Me: "You can be on WP without being an editor or having an account". The other user (Same user accusing me) stated, they too have been on the website before making an account "I've also used the internet and been on wp without being an editor or having an account." thats absolutely counteracting their own claims.

::

::The most naive and absurd comparison: "Using UN article” which is open to public, multiple people can use the same source, that is how Citing works, specially when parties are claiming the same outcome, on a geographical naming situation were UN has lots to say...

::Looking at above and the comparison tools, I am genuinely confused as how I am being connected to another user based on those naive and absurd comparisons

::

::The user that requested my block has done it in bad faith. As I see it, since they were involved in Persian Gulf talk page and could never make a proper argument and only replied in an unprofessional manner, this was their way of "Winning" by wrongfully accusing me with such a bizarre claim. I believe this is a personal attack towards my username and I request to be reviewed for an unblock. DrTheHistorian✎ 18:24, 8 April 2025 (UTC)}}

{{ping|TheSandDoctor}} Hi, please pay attention to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AWikaviani&diff=1284397468&oldid=1284381530 this] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AApaugasma&diff=1284397176&oldid=1284314342 this]. After reading the SPI and checking the editing history of {{noping|DrtheHistorian}}, I must say that I agree with {{noping|Apaugasma}}, But maybe I'm missing something.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 17:27, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

:::For completeness, I'll add [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AApaugasma&diff=1284401620&oldid=1284398719 this] which completes one of the threads from which Wikaviani took the above diffs. DeCausa (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Thank you for your cmt, But I would like to point out that you were the one who pointed me towards writing within WP policies 03/10. Between that comment and my oppose comment theres a 7 day difference 03/17 (cant tag og cmt) which I took the time to study the policies and implement them on my talk.

:@DrtheHistorian, can you explain what you mean by {{tq|I believe this is a personal attack towards my username}}? -- asilvering (talk) 19:03, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

::@Asilvering, Sure. That line is how I see the action of the user who reported me in bad faith, based on the reasoning in the same paragraph. DrTheHistorian✎ 23:50, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
