Orphaned non-free image File:Ninth Fort memorial.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Ninth Fort memorial.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:53, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Nomination of Jewish conservatism for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jewish conservatism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article is being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewish conservatism until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may still edit the article, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the AfD notice from the article until the discussion is closed.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Buidhe:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:36, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Revert of my Tiryaki Hasan Pasha and Osman Pamukoglu additions in the page List of undefeated military leaders

Hi, per WP:REVEXP, reverts are expected to come with an edit summary specific enough that another editor can identify and fix the actual problem. Deleting 7k+ byte worth of edit i made and just saying "Not a reliable source" doesnt meet that bar, its not saying which source was unreliable, for which claim, or what disqualified it. Could you clarify?

A few points:
Under WP:BURDEN, the responsibility is to justify removal of cited material with a specific policy reason, not just assert unreliability. Rn I have no way to fix what you're objecting to, because idk what it is.

This list already sources several entries to non-English material without any apparent issue, Petro Sahaidachny and Ivan Sirko are cited to Russian/Ukrainian monographs, Suvorov and Ushakov to Russian sources, and Ozdemiroglu Pasha and Selim I partly to Turkish-language works by Feridun Emecen. So if the standard is WP:RS, id like to know specifically what differs between those and mine, rather than a blanket dismissal.

If the actual issue is with one specific citation (for instance, if you felt a news-aggregator-style source didn't meet WP:NEWSORG or WP:SELFSOURCE standards), thats a fair and fixable concern, im glad to swap it for stronger sourcing.

Per WP:AGF, im assuming this was an oversight rather than a targeted removal, and id like to resolve it collaboratively rather than through a revert war. If you dont respond with specifics, ill raise it at WP:RSN for outside input on the sourcing, since a vague revert summary alone isn't a resolution under WP:DR.

Also, The main pages for Osman Pamukoğlu (tr:Osman Pamukoğlu Turkish page for further info) and Tiryaki Hasan Pasha already say the same stuff i placed into the list of undefeated military leaders, i did not make a new claim, i simply added what Wikipedia was already claiming for these men.

nice job citing policies as an editor without even a talk page. Is this your first account?

Next time try reading and understanding before you write. BURDEN says the opposite of what you claim. So, how can you prove the source has a reputation for fact checking and accuracy? (t · c) buIdhe 12:55, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for answering to none of my points and going ad hominem in your first ever sentence. CharlesTheGrim (talk) 16:32, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
