| :::Hi {{u|AnonMoos}}, I agree. Healey is saying that most inscriptions called “Nabatean” are misleadingly labelled. The only reason I didn’t add that to the article is that it seems like it might be a controversial statement so it would be ideal to find other sources to confirm it. In the meantime perhaps we could add it in-line attributed to Healey? ] (]) 21:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC) | |||

| ''In re ], CC ].'' | |||
| I've had an idea bouncing in my head for something like this for the better part of a decade. I wouldn't call it "president", maybe "advocate-in-chief". To me the core of it isn't anything to do with appealing ArbCom decisions, but the basic problem that, when the general public has a question about Misplaced Pages, they tend to go to the WMF, which doesn't actually have authority over content. There isn't really anyone out there who can speak on behalf of the community of editors. When there's Twitter drama over a deletion or removal, you get 20 random editors speaking over one another to explain it, with no guarantee they even get it right. So I think it would be interesting to have some elected person whose primary job is to speak on behalf of the community, and who would also have a role within the community to resolve potential failures of the system—except without the power to formally overturn. The way I see it, for anyone who could meet whatever lofty standard we'd set for such an office, if they were to say, "Dear ArbCom: Respectfully, I think in your recent decision you may have erred in imposing a topic ban on User:Example without discussing the mitigating evidence presented during the case, and urge you to discuss this matter further with that consideration in mind", one imagines ArbCom would take such a statement quite seriously. Likewise, in the event of any constitutional crisis, their proposed solution would be taken very seriously as a ].

| == Yousef Munayyer == | |||
| Greetings. Little over a month ago, you reverted a section I had written on ] detailing his spat with ] concerning the Summer 2014 conflict between Israel and Hamas. Your justification was that it was "non-notable and written in an unbalanced manner."

| :Hi {{ping|Elias Ziade}} my plan is to get ] to be the best available repository of the notable inscriptions, with each inscription or set of inscriptions having its own article including precise information on its discovery and an image of the text. | |||
| :The challenge is being "comprehensive" - to my mind that means including all known inscriptions contained in the published "selected" collections. That doesn't mean CIS or TADAE, which intended to include all inscriptions regardless of their notability; it means just KAI, KI, NE, TSSI and NSI, which only covered the most important examples. I have now identified all of these - almost all have rows in the table already (albeit some still with a blank name, or black or red text), and the ones that don't have now been added to the talk page (the most recent talk comment). Some of these may be able to be grouped together rather than needing new individual articles for all, but we need to see how the sources deal with them first. If you ever find yourself with a spare hour and would like to create one of these articles, it would be great. | |||
| :It could help support a meaningful improvement in scholarship in the area, allowing readers to get a clearer and broader feel for the hard historical evidence of this group of cultures. What I have found most interesting is sorting the table by date discovered - it allows you to follow the evolution of this area of study, and see how various the scholarly consensuses were formed in the area. I suspect that some mistakes were made early on that were never reassessed in light of the available evidence in more modern times... | |||
| :You are doing great work with the sanctuary of Kharayeb and other similar articles.
