Jihad as a female name

[edit]

Hello, Edward. Since you deleted Gehad from the disambiguation page, how could we indicate that:

  1. The version of the name with G and/or E are equivalents to non-Arabic speakers?
  2. How to indicate that it can also be a female name? It is used in Egypt as a girl name, in case you didn't know.

Tip of the Month:

  • Verifiability is increasingly important as AI evolves. You should ensure that every statement made
    is adequately sourced. There should be no less than three independent reliable sources for each
    biography, including at least one source for each paragraph.

Progress ("moving the needle"):

  • Statistics available via various tools: previously, Humaniki tool; currently, QLever. Thank you if
    you contributed one or more of the 20,473 articles created in the past year.
  • 21 Oct 2024, 19.963% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,030,245 biographies; 405,305 women)
  • 28 Oct 2025: 20.23% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,094,677 biographies; 423,778 women)

Gambling vs. gaming

[edit]

Again, please stop with the mass campaign to replace "gaming" with your preferred term of "gambling". It is a common and valid use of the word. Toohool (talk) 00:29, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
