Disambiguation link notification for December 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grand Erg Oriental, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Foxtail and Reg. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:55, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Heribertus2. Thank you for your work on Erg Tiffernine. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for creating this article for a sand sea. It is closely associated with Issaouane Erg, and in some language versions it looks like these are discussed together. The content of the two pages closely parallel one another, so merging them might be considered in the future. It's helpful to have noted that this is a partial translation from German, but not that this should be done in the first edit summary (Help:Translation). In places, the tense is complicated and not quite consistent in English. The tone is generally engaging and interesting.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Klbrain:

Hi, Klbrain

You're right, the “Formation and Evolution” section was worded too complicatedly. I've since revised it. Thanks for pointing that out!

Regarding the integration of the Erg Tiffernine into the Issaouane Erg: Yes, it is connected to its larger neighbor via a narrow passage. But it was treated as a separate erg from early on, for example by Gabriel Gardel, who wrote a standard work on the Kel Ajjer Tuareg before World War I. With its vast area of megadunes, this erg also differs from the Issaouane Erg. Its morphology and the reasons why so much sand has accumulated here would need to be described separately even under the umbrella of the Issaouane Erg. That wouldn’t make much sense. Incidentally, I haven’t found any Wikipedia entry that includes the Erg Tiffernin area within the Issaouane Erg.

There is another reason why I also published this erg on the English and French Wikipedia. To my knowledge, no studies have yet been conducted in this erg, unlike the two large ergs in Algeria. In the past, it was very remote and difficult to reach. Thus, master’s graduates or doctoral students from Algerian universities may have the opportunity to explore this area in depth.

Thank you for bringing your expert knowledge to Wikipedia; it is very helpful. I was referring to sv:Isaouane-n-Tifernine, which seems to combine them (although I might be misinterpreting the translation), but I think that your approach is better. Klbrain (talk) 10:30, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
