Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Passport stamp. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Can you stop? The article is not "a gallery of all passport stamps in the world". You keep restoring stuff that's only of interest for hobbyists: nothing warns the reader they're about to see a million pictures, including links to visa policies that don't have anything to do with passport stamps. In addition, a ton of that information is unverified, and is thus inappropriate. Drmies (talk) 21:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of urban parks by size, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gondomar and Paredes. 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.)

 The comment the reviewer left was:
I don't see enough significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to think this qualifies for WP:GNG. While material from European governments about the project are useful under WP:V, they are not clearly independent from this initiative (they read like press releases) and hence provide no notability. Critical coverage would be far more useful.

Replacing sources with blogs on commercial websites

edit

On at least a couple of occasions, you have replaced a source with a blog on a commercial web site , . The article at WP:BLOGS lays out reasons why blogs may not be a reliable source. And a source that also sells products or services is usually considered a biased source. Just so's you know. signed, Willondon (talk) 17:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Willondon, on today's case though, the source is going against what's written in the article though, because it says Portuguese is the most spoken language in south America. Petnog (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I see that now. The original source was never very reiable, and yours is suspect (commercial source), but at least your source has the advantage of being accurate, and corroborating what was in the article. I've switched today's edit back to your sourcing. Cheers. signed, Willondon (talk) 18:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Portugal density map

edit

Hi there, Petnog. Thanks for your density map of Portugal, great job. Just have a curiosity: Isn't it odd that Coimbra and Leiria don't have densities above 2000? Coimbra actually surprised me because of Santo António dos Olivais. Are census areas more broad in these cities than in other cities? Tuesp1985 (talk) 15:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I've been meaning to do this for a while. Regarding your question, the city of Coimbra is one sole census place and it includes some non-urban areas (as in, pretty much just woods), so it's population density is pretty low (1285 inhabitants per km^2). The freguesia of Santo António dos Olivais, which you pointed out, does reach the 2000 mark, but the others do not. For example, the freguesia of Coimbra (Sé Nova, Santa Cruz, Almedina e São Bartolomeu), which should be one of the densest, only has 1663 inhabitants per km^2. That freguesia includes some areas which are not urban either and, in fact, aren't even inside the city limits (for some reason), but the part that is inside the city probably still doesn't make it to 2000. If there was one freguesia with more than 2000 that was entirely inside the city limits, I could use its figures to change the map, so it would show a darker center, but they all have some parts outside. I could, however, use the census' grid data, and maybe one day I will, but I have other things on my mind right now. I don't remember Leiria's case as well, and I can't check at the moment, but it's probably similar. | Petnog (talk) 15:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I forgot to say. Coimbra is the second largest city by area (after Lisbon). There are plenty larger than Leiria though. | Petnog (talk) 16:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the reply. Interesting that Coimbra is a sole census area, which doesn't make much sense, but, it is what it is. Maybe that's some kind of old INE organization rule, as in the past the 3 main cities were Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra. Yes, the reorganization of parishes created a few that are half urban/half "rural", let's put like that. I wrote Leiria, but then I had second thoughts as Leiria is not that dense as Coimbra, because the population there is more spread across the territory, just like Famalicão and Barcelos.Tuesp1985 (talk) 16:19, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ibn Khamis al-Yaburi moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Ibn Khamis al-Yaburi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Tifinagh

edit

Hi. Is there a reason why you deleted almost all mention to Libyco-Berber from the Tifinagh article, plus some references? Besides, this phrase is ambiguous and incomplete, and rushed:

"The Saharan script branched into the Tuareg Tifinagh scripts which *is* used to this day."

  • are*

What Saharan script? This writing system is indeed Libyco-Berber. It's like describing the history of the Younger Futhark without mentioning at all its parent the Elder Futhark script. ~2026-30838-41 (talk) 07:49, 23 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I think you're mixing my edit with what was already there. The sentence «The Saharan script branched into the Tuareg Tifinagh scripts which is used to this day» was already there. I shortened it to «The Saharan script branched into the Tuareg Tifinagh scripts.» and did not touch the reference.
About Lybico-Berber, I only removed it from the head text, because the article is about Tifinagh, not Lybico-Berber, so it makes no sense to have a whole paragraph dedicated to it on the head text. Petnog (talk) 07:54, 23 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
