In good faith, I think you would have to provide a good source to state that the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II is not the correct article. The British Government's official history (the History of the Second World War) declares that the "Mediterranean and Middle East" (regardless of short hand of either the "Mediterranean theater" or "Middle East theater") was the theater of war, which the article is describing. I.S.O. Playfair writes in the lede to Volume I: that despite the "vast size of the Mediterranean and Middle East theater", covering the fighting in the Middle East, North Africa etc, it "did not appear … [as] a number of neatly separated areas of operations; in spite of the distances it was all one." You are arguing that the two articles are not the same, they are. One is sourced and includes all the relevant detail and context, the other is a shell of an article that is not helpful to the reader.172.96.34.206 (talk) 23:02, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to the one hundredth and thirty second WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 14,683 last month to 14,745 on 29 March 2019). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 150 is ahead of WP:GM who have 86. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 67 out of a total number of 4,169 articles.
Currently we have forty seven Yorkshire featured articles:
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
Recent changes
As some of you will know the script for generating the list of project articles for use with the Recent Changes utility stopped working a couple of years ago so the list was way out of date. The good news is that I have managed to find a convoluted way of creating a new list using AutoWikiBrowser. The link for using the new list is Watchlist of recent edits. If you are not interested in talk pages then use Watchlist of recent article edits or for talk pages only Watchlist of recent talk page edits.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The April 2019 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
Thanks

Yaqoob Salem Eid
Hi, maybe it's better to just ask for the reference before just reverting back, I always do my research before moving a page. this guy's full name is Yaqoob Salem Eid Yaqoob, and I assume you are not familiar with the weird system of Arabic names. you can move the page to Yaqoob Salem or Yaqoob Salem Eid or even the full name Yaqoob Salem Eid Yaqoob, but Yaqqob should remain in first because that's his given name, the rest are father name and father's father name etc. beside that while I understand moving the page back I wonder and I wonder why you removed the categories from the article ? any special reason ? or just lazy to check the edit before reverting ? Mohsen1248 (talk) 23:37, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Mohsen1248! Thanks for dropping by. I'm glad you do your research, but you didn't actually provide any evidence to support your edits or the page move. I did a quick search, and both the IAAF and Olympic website, and a Bahraini website "Bahrain's Salem Eid Yaqoob won his men’s 400 metres first round heat" refer to him as Salem Eid Yaqoob. I am familiar with Arabic names, and I know that the order doesn't always follow Western names: it is possible in this case that his known name is Yaqoob AND that Yaqoob comes last in the order of his names. I would be happy to look at other references because the ones you have provided are not adequate. Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk00:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
