E-mails

[edit]

You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.

Broadcasted

[edit]

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.

[edit]

How are you? @Arjayay i would ask you if you can help me to create page abou this topic Qatarijournalist (talk) 11:06, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

here Qatarijournalist (talk) 11:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Qatarijournalist, I don't know why you came to me to make your first two edits, but I don't have enough time to create articles on subjects I am interested in.
Furthermore, I can't read Turkish or Arabic, so I couldn't really help even if I wanted to. - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 11:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Special Barnstar
Happy New Year, Arjayay! In 2024, other editors thanked you 2390 times using the thanks tool on the English Wikipedia. This made you the #1 most thanked Wikipedian in 2024. Congratulations and, well, thank you for all that you do for Wikipedia. Here's to 2025! Mz7 (talk) 19:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
that's awesome. well done, @Arjayay!! Sm8900 (talk) 20:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Mz7, and Sm8900 - That's actually the third time I have topped the list - does that disqualify me in the future? or do I get to keep it forever, like some sporting trophies?.
I remind myself of these when someone is telling me I am "the most hated editor on Wikipedia", or similar phrases, usually because I am reverting their deliberate errors or self-promotion.
Thanks again - and here's to next year ! - Arjayay (talk) 15:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you not change my edit? It's correct.

[edit]

I saw you changing my edit for "Nurburgring". Please don't. It's the correct information. If you look up Nurburgring Nordschieliefe lap record, it will say 5:19.546 set by Neel Jani. Please stop undoing my edits. 2603:8000:99F0:93A0:9932:FB79:1D30:444B (talk) 17:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
