Rollback
Hi could I request rollback (reviewer) here? I don't have many edits here but I am active in counter-vandalism. GlobalTwinkle let's me use rollback but it doesn't load in slow connection. I believe I meet the criteria. I have rollback on other projects (meta, Wikidata, English, simple, Bengali Wikipedia and Commons). Or should I request it at Requests for permissions?

 * The only way I know to grant rollback is to grant reviewer (as you imply, linking to the reviewer automatic promotion criteria).
 * I've heard some other admins have sometimes been known to grant reviewer on request. Usually I've been an advocate of going through the community RFP process.  However, under the circumstances, I'm inclined to give you the wherewithal to combat an obnoxious LTA.  So I'm setting your reviewer bit now.
 * I'm not entirely clear on why you hadn't been autopromoted. I've been puzzled about the same thing re several other users lately.  It seems as if either the criteria are not working the way they're supposed to, or there's something about the way they work we're not understanding.

 * It's a software regression. The same thing is happening on other wikis. Tracked in T237191. Masumrezarock100 (discuss • contribs) 02:16, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Hebrew Alpeh-Bet Section 9 (Pe/Fe) Missing Description
Hi Pi zero,

I first want to say thanks to you and others for putting together the Aleph-Bet WikiBook. In the interest of learning Biblical Aramaic, I've spent the last month or so reading/writing the Imperial/Square Aramaic alphabet which has brought me to learn the Hebrew language and it's etymology.

This wikibook is a perfect step for somebody looking to expand their knowledge on the Nikkud and other elemental aspects of the Hebrew alphabet/language. Over this time, I've bookmarked a lot of pages but this wikibook is superb. It's simple and direct for referencing and well segmented for learning.

I have a small improvement request if possible. The letter Pe in section 9 doesn't really have any information/description like the letter Ayin. There's examples of use but no real definition in context. I find this letter very interesting as it's variations are independent of Aramaic (from what I can tell) and are specific to Hebrew in origin and use.

So being able to understand the variations of this letter would be great. If there's any ability to update this section that'd be wonderful.

Thanks so much for your time. -soupking

 * Hi. I'm guessing you mean Hebrew/Aleph-Bet, which is part of the Hebrew wikibook?  I'm glad we've provided a resource helpful to you.  Re updates, note this project is a wiki; you're most welcome to contribute yourself. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:32, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

A question
Hi Pi zero, I have a question regarding importing pages from Wikipedia. If I want to copy information from Wikipedia to Wikibooks I can copy the text and put an attribution url in the editing description, but the preferred way is to request an import. If I only want part of the content from a Wikipedia (say one chapter), should I request an import, and then delete the unwanted information, or should I copy the wanted information and add an attribution url to the editing description? Thanks in advance, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 21:00, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * It's probably a case-by-case decision. Depending on &mdash;at least&mdash; how much other stuff was in the Wikipedia page that won't be used, and how much other stuff there may be to go in the Wikibooks page besides the stuff that's being imported.  If the Wikibooks page is going to cover a narrow part of what was on the Wikipedia page, so it's a matter of cutting down, it would be more tempting to just import the whole thing &mdash; but that could still be a problem if the Wikipedia page is sufficiently big. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 01:47, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * If I want to move the information from the summary of Rhodesian Security Forces to The Story of Rhodesia/Rhodesian Security Forces, is the preferred way to import the article and then delete all the rest, or to copy paste the text, and put an attribution url in the editing summary? Thanks in advance, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 07:21, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Meh. That seems an in-between sort of case, which I could see doing either way.  I just tried to import it, figuring if it worked it'd be done with; but it didn't work.  So maybe just do it the other way. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:05, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, I will copy it right away, Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 13:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
