Thank you very much for your edits today. They pleased me a lot. What I'm not sure about is if a composer worked in one country his whole life but was born in another, should he be listed under both categories? My sense is yes, but I know others disagree. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 18:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Afasmit You might be interested to read Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels, the discussion on International titles. You reverted one of the sections blanked by an editor who did this to all the articles on novels by Agatha Christie without discussion first. Now the topic is being discussed. I reverted one of these, too, but will not revert them all unless there is more support to do so, after the topic is aired properly. You reverted for the article The Secret of Chimneys with a concise statement of your view, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Secret_of_Chimneys&curid=542507&action=history . I am sure your views will improve the discussion. -- Prairieplant ( talk) 21:40, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I see that you've been reinserting [ɪː, ʏː, ʊː] in Dutch IPA transcriptions. This creates a discrepancy between them and Help:IPA for Dutch (which they all link to), which is unacceptable. Each transcription that links to Help:IPA for Dutch must use the same transcription system that is shown there, otherwise we might as well don't have that IPA guide at all.
To see why it's not necessary to use the symbols [ɪː, ʏː, ʊː], see this discussion.
If you disagree with our current transcription system, please challenge it on Help:IPA for Dutch, but don't use another system until there's a consensus to change the guide. Peter238 ( talk) 14:26, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello User:Afasmit, can you take a look at the Maiorana surname article when you've got a minute, and, if necessary reword some of what's written, add/remove links and categories to make it sound more proper.

Hi Afasmit, first of all thanks for working on the articles of academics, including some of the articles I created. Before you manage to add much more material I quickly wanted to advise you that according to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies places of birth/death should not be added to the section within the lede brackets, but rather to the main body of text. See WP:BIRTHPLACE for more. Happy editing! Crispulop ( talk) 17:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello!
My name is Artyom Anikin, and I am currently researching the life of Anthony Colve. I've recently written an article about his biography that will be published in the coming days in the academic journal, New York History, and it has a lot of information that is missing from your recent update of his page. I find it great that you have taken the time to update it as much as you have, and I hope that my article can help fill in the rest of the story. There are some interesting contradictions. You cite a source I did not see previously, the records of fort Sint Anna, which list him as living till 1695, while my research turned up a copy of his gravestone that listed his death as occurring in 1693. I'd like to talk to you about this if you are interested and I invite you to contact me. My article will hopefully be of great help to yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artyomanikin ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello! I have recently started a new WikiProject and am trying to recruit new members. The project, WikiProject Wildfire, focuses on articles that relate to wildfires. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. From updating templates, to classifying and improving articles. Any level of commitment is welcome! If you care to just add some input on the founding of the new project, awesome. If you would like to take an active role in editing articles, that is awesome as well! Knowledge of wildfires is NOT a prerequisite for joining the project. In fact, it would be great to have some members of the project who are NOT fire-buffs. That way we make sure that articles aren't just written by and for people in the fire community. If this is something you have any interest in, I would love to have you join the project! Please feel free to join the discussion or leave me a message on my talk page. (Note that you are receiving this message from me because I saw you made multiple edits on a wildfire related page, specifically List of Washington wildfires. Not just spamming you at random.) Hope you have a great day! Zackmann08 ( Talk to me/ What I been doing) 22:02, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you reverted an edit I made that corrected the phonemes of words with ⟨ong⟩ in them. The letter ⟨o⟩, in a closed syllable with the absence of a lengthening vowel, represents the /ɒ/ phoneme. It may make an [ɑː] sound or an [ɔː] sound in different contexts in AmE due to the lot-cloth split and the cot-caught merger, but it's not correct to say that it represents the phonemes /ɑː/ or /ɔː/. If you feel that that needs to be shown on that page, then it should be put in [] brackets to show that it's a narrow transcription. -- Clorox ( talk) 06:21, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I decided to talk to two admins, you and another person on the same subject. I asked about the KTFF 50th Anniversary Cup your version is very good, even the version in Persian.
But I note that the French version Coupe du 50e anniversaire de la KTFF of that problem, I would like to understand why? There are 14 reliable sources in 2 sources (Article 1 and 8) are two books that talks about a tournament on the 50 years of the federation and the other book on the team, 2 works speak of the competition.
The seventh source shows Yucel Hatay, known for writing several books on "Cyprus Turkish Football Association", "football in North Cyprus" and the "Northern Cyprus national football team".
The arguments given by those who are against this article, leaves desired. They say Sourcing very poor, anecdotal ....
Yet there were competitions around the world or there was a single edition that is on Wikipedia, sometimes with no sources. I admit to having trouble understanding for the latter. The two books are definitely the best sources.
Cordially. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E34:EE0E:ABD0:F48F:1CC6:E35A:1ABD ( talk) 17:28, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. What is meant by that [2]? Who is that? Alanscottwalker ( talk) 16:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Afasmit,
Considering what will follow is clearly orginal research, I'm posting it here rather than on the World football Elo ratings talk page.
I've performed some testing in applying the Elo ratings backwards all over the database, starting with current ratings as on December 2017 and getting back to the first international game in 1872. The result wasn't really what I was expecting, since Scotland ended on that original game with 2406 points and England with 2275 points! Here is a table comparing the initial ratings calculated this way with the actual ratings used on eloratings.net:
http://www.international-football.net/test-elo-backwards
So, as you can see, it's not conclusive. This being said, I wanted to test it a bit scientifically. First thing, I wanted to check whether initial ratings used by Kirill do have an impact on the first games. For this, I've simply generated a script which would calculate the average variation of points in the earliest games and compare it with the average variation of points in the latest games. This can be checked on this page which calculates those average. Be careful as it hasn't been optimized so the page is a bit long to load:
http://www.international-football.net/test-16?nb_games=10
According to this page, 13.11 points exchanged on average during the 10 earliest games of each team, compared to 12.03 during the 10 latest games of each team. There is a slight difference, but the gap is not that big.
In order to know whether the ratings I've calculated backwards would reduce the gap, I've created this other page which use them as initial value and simulate the outcome. You can simulate up to the 7,500 first international games, leading us to 1967 (my host server screams when we try more). I've calculated again the average variation of points that would give for the 10 earliest games of each team. And here is the result:
http://www.international-football.net/test-17?total_games=7500&nb_games=10
According to this, 11.04 points would be exchanged on average during the 10 earliest games of each team in using those values. So it does have a positive impact in reducing the gap during earlier games. This being said, it also stretches the results of Elo ratings. England, the leader on August 11th 1967 has now 2212 points (instead of 2018 points) and Montserrat, at the bottom, has now 599 points (instead of 794 points).
Overall, I would say that the experience was pretty fun, but largely inconclusive. It's a bit weird to have such a high rating for Scotland during the very first game against England in 1872, and the whole Elo scale is messed up with a lot more teams exceeding 2000 points than it is currently the case. Probably a more reasonable adjustment would perform better results. Cheers, Metropolitan ( talk) 04:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Afasmit,
I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Hi Afasmit. I saw you added Panacomp.net as a reference in your rewrite of List of rivers of Europe. Panacomp.net is a travel agency website (self-published, unreliable) with some history of being spammed. I didn't look closely to check, but I hope it safe to assume that you simply copied it from the Spanish article. I made a note in my edit summary while removing it that the refs may need a thorough review for similarly poor links. I hope I guessed right on what had happened. Let me know if I made a mistake. -- Ronz ( talk) 16:03, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi Afasmit,
I have discovered only now, that you have reverted my edit last year. Unfortunately you are mistaken. There are several 'Flag' paintings and the one being sold is not the one the wikipedia article is featuring.
Provenance of the 'wikipedia flag' (1954):
The painting was included in Johns's first solo exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery in early 1958. Alfred Barr, director of the Museum of Modern Art, wanted to buy the work, but was concerned that it might be considered unpatriotic. He persuaded a friend, Philip Johnson, to buy it instead; Johnson bought it, and donated it to the Museum of Modern Art "in honor of Alfred H. Barr, Jr." when he retired in 1968. The here mentioned MoMA is the MoMA in NYC.
Provenance of the flag painting being sold to Mr Cohen in March 2010 (see source C.Vogel in The NYTimes): The painting was executed in 1958 and was so coveted by the dealer [Leo Castelli] that he never sold it. It hung in his [Leo Castelli's] Manhattan home until his death [1999]. For years before the sale, the younger Mr. Castelli lent the work to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where it was on view.
Last year I have had a link to the former SFMoMA exhibit, where I had confirmed, that the SFMoMA exhibit and the 1954 flag painting are in fact two different paintings. Unfortunately this information is not available any more. Please undo your reversion of the creation year accordingly.
Thank you FHessel
Hello Afasmit, Thanks for the corrections of the mountain heights in the Christian Kaufmann article. I may have relied on older estimates that were not as accurate as more modern measurements. The addition of Hans Kaufmann's name for 1901 is somewhat misleading. He made trips from Grindelwald to Canada from 1901 to 1905 and was there in 1901, according the his Führerbuch. But he did not travel for the CPR with Christian, Whymper, Klucker, Pollinger, and Bossonney in 1901 aboard the ship Australasian from Liverpool to Quebec. Therefore, his name in that sentence/context is somewhat misleading; I would prefer it were not there. Hans probably travelled to Canada later in the year (1901), but it was not with Whymper's group. Thanks for your interest in the Kaufmann article. (After doing some more research on this, I have edited my original post, which I wrote a short time ago.) p.dreher
Hi Afasmit, thanks for your edit on List_of_mountains_of_the_Alps_above_3000_m. I'm writing some articles about the still missing items of the list, and I discovered about Mont_Taou_Blanc that its prominence is just 111 m. I've prepared the english article about it in my sandbox. It's not just Peakbagger, also in this case the Navigatore Cartografico confirms it. I also trust it more than peakbagger, also because the Navigatore is the official cartography of the local authority (Regione Valle d'Aosta). I think that the correct mountain to be added to the list (Prominence > 300 m) should be the Pointe de l'Aouille, 3445.9 m (you can see the correct height zooming at a 1:10.000 scale). In this case should we erase the Tout Blanc from the list?-- Pampuco ( talk) 19:36, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
I was confused by your edit of the Defaultsort for Helen van Dongen. I read the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Other exceptions.
