For your excellent work assisting this project with matters involving the Arabic-speaking world. You’re a true example of the ability of Wikimedia projects to further cooperation between people from different languages and cultures and to increase mutual respect and understanding across the world. Thank you for your many contributions, Ala’a. The English Wikipedia is better for them, as is every project you serve. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:38, 20 March 2020 (UTC) |

Wikimedian of the Year 2021
Congradulations, Alaa Najjar, on this tremendous achievement. I see you have also contributed many articles to the English Wikipedia. If you find time, it would be great if you could create more biographies of women in connection with our project wp:Women in Red where we are trying to reduce the gender gap. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 13:09, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Congratulations! P.S. the Wikipedia Cybermen are on your front door. MER-C 18:15, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.
