Mccapra (talk) 16:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mccapra and thank you for your message. I am actually a bit suprrised that you have put this article as a draft, for the reason that it does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. In fact, this seems more like an automatic message more than a personal one. The article contains already 5 references about the singer, and she has articles in other languages as well. Can you please explain to me what sources are missing for this specific article of Asma El Hamzaoui? I would be very thankful if you could explain that, so that we know how many extra references are needed beside these five? Thank you so much in advance for your kind answer, and have a good evening so far. Best regards. Anass Sedrati (talk) 22:43, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. I moved the article to draft because the sources you provided were not sufficient to demonstrate notability under the relevant policy, WP:MUSICBIO. Of the five references you provided, 1. Looks good. 2. Is a dead link but looks like a festival programme, which can’t be used to show notability. 3. is a YouTube video which also can’t be used as a source. 4. is a concert programme. 5. is good. So of the five refs you have, only two are acceptable on Wikipedia. If you can find others like that - in depth coverage, independently written, the article can come back into mainspace. I’m happy to take another look and move it back if you want to leave a note for me after you’ve added new sources. All the best Mccapra (talk) 04:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mccapra and thank you for your answer and clarifications. Actually, I am afraid that I disagree with you on the reason why references are put. References are not only given to prove notability, but also to confirm a fact, information, etc. The reason I have for example given the YouTube video as a reference is to illustrate the sentence "she participated in many international events across the world", since the video shows her clearly singing at in international event in Sudan. The same is applicable for the concert, as it was in Sweden. Of course I understand your point that notability needs references, but it does not mean that other references about other areas are not relevant, as I just explained that they are needed to strengthen sentences about different facts and information. When it comes to notability, I have now added 3 other references (not all are in English). Please take a look at them and let me know if the article is good to go now. Thank you again so much for your very kind support, it is truly appreciated! Best regards. Anass Sedrati (talk) 13:03, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes thank you that’s exactly what was needed. I think it’s ready to go back into mainspace now. Mccapra (talk) 14:04, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

There is a long queue at Articles for Creation so if you copy and paste it directly back into mainspace it will go through new page review faster. I won’t review it myself but someone else will. If you have any problems with it let me know. Mccapra (talk) 14:07, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the help and guidance, I will make sure to do that. Have a great weekend so far! Anass Sedrati (talk) 14:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mehdi Nassouli until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. James Richards (talk) 19:59, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Mohamed Benomar Ziani

Hi Anass I’m reviewing this article and I’m afraid it doesn’t have sufficient sourcing to meet WP:BLP. Of the two sources present one appears to be self-published. As it stands the article is likely to get moved to draftspace or nominated for deletion. All the best Mccapra (talk) 15:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mccapra and thank you for the notification. Unfortunately, this is a recurrent problem when it comes to Moroccan personalities (politicians, artists, etc.) as English is not a language used here, and because international sources that you accept in EN:WP are rare. I cannot add more sources for this singer, but I can ensure you that he is very famous in Morocco and was in national Television several times. If you accept YouTube videos of National Moroccan TV, I can share some clips and add them to the article. What do you think? Best regards -- Anass Sedrati (talk) 19:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi sources can be in any languages as long as they’re from something reliable and independent like a national newspaper or an independent review of a concert or recording. Sadly Youtube is no good because it’s self-published. Mccapra (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Mccapra for your kind answer and advices. I have added a reference in Arabic from a very famous and notable newspaper called Asharq Al-Awsat. In this article from the newspaper, there is a biography of Benomar Ziani. I hope that is will be helpful. When it comes to YouTube, I was referring to national TV channels which have videos in YouTube proving the notability of the singer, as he was appearing often on national TV. At least in Morocco, appearing in TV even once as a singer in the 80's would mean that you are much notable :). Thank you again for the help, and cheers. Anass Sedrati (talk) 08:07, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Great thanks. I’ve reviewed the article now and released it for indexing with a tag calling for more sources, but I think it would survive at AfD now if anyone challenged it. All the best Mccapra (talk) 12:42, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

This is awesome. Thank you so much for the support. I really appreciate that a lot. All the best! -- Anass Sedrati (talk) 13:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Possible copyright issues with image of ticket

Hi, just to let you know, I reverted your addition to the Dar Jamai Museum page because I believe the image you added is technically a copyright violation. You can see some guidelines on uploading images and copyright here. In short, uploading a photo of a work (e.g. artwork, text of a book, etc) that you didn't create would be violating copyright of the work's creator (in this case the museum). The ticket is a minor thing but it still involves some creative design so it would most likely fall under that category. Also, because the ticket is used for entry at a museum that requires an entry fee, that might present an additional concern (but I'm not familiar with the legal aspects of that). You can request that Wiki Commons remove your uploaded image using the "speedy deletion" process (see here). If you're still not sure about the copyright of the image, you can also ask for advice at this page. I hope this helps, R Prazeres (talk) 17:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello R Prazeres and thank you for notifying me. Actually, I think that you are completely right about what you have written here. When I checked the Wikipedia article about tickets, I found indeed that pictures used there either were old, or about tickets that are for "once on lifetime" events, such as football matches. So yes, it can also be a problem that valid tickets are shared online, and maybe the museum itself will not appreciate it. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to inform and notify me. I will ask for a rapid deletion of the picture so that the issue is solved :) Have a good evening -- Anass Sedrati (talk) 19:04, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Great, I'm glad there's some clarity. Cheers! R Prazeres (talk) 19:26, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter

This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore

We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.

Growing Strong

The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.

Wikimania Talks

Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.

Content Creation Magic

Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.

Campaigning hard

We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.
