Talk:Asra Nomani

History
Why do some people want to hide the fact that she gave birth to an illegitimate child? She certainly is not ashamed of that.

After the merge, the old histroy of this article have been lost. I want to re add some text from there. How do i acces it?

--Striver 09:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Could someone paste here the link about her not being a relative to Nomani? http://www.dawn.com/2005/04/22/letted.htm#7

--Striver 11:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Family
Who the hell cares? Prudes do. Are we now going to push the POV of prudes. I mean this is really scandalous. --CltFn 05:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

FYI "prudes" are true and respectful Muslim girls, unlike Asra Q. Nomani.

Why remove info about her having a bastard if you dont care and the fact is true?

 * Don't be silly. This is 2006. The article doesn't mention a husband and says she was abandoned, so the story is obvious. Regarding your other edits, you're introducing grammatical errors and POV, which is why I reverted. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I reworded it slightly to indicate she was a single mother at the time, which was used previously. I do think that the insistence on "illegitimate" smacks of denigration. --AladdinSE 01:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Of course "illegitimate" is pejorative. There is no need to use a pejorative term when there are so many value-neutral ways of communicating the same fact. I'm moving "illegitimate" out. Babajobu 06:18, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, she is an activist lecturing the community on morality and gender issues. Her positions on sexuality outside of marriage and sexual morality are entirely relevent; she even champions them in her "Bill of Rights". If you want a more neutral sounding term, say "child outside of marriage" rather than "illegitimate son". 12 April 2006.

 * Why does it matter? This article is about her public, not private, life. SlimVirgin (talk) 07:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

The Daniel Pearl photo
I think this photo is great, but apparently bots or admins keep removing it, and it is listed for deletion, it because it has no source. Will the uploader please correct that and satisfy source and copyright information so we can have it in the article permanently. --AladdinSE 00:49, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * As soon as I can I will get to that.--CltFn 01:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Claims of unverifiable Image source
CltFn, please stop removing the image of Nomani that I put in the article. If you really believe that I am a liar and this is not my photograph, that "the source is not verifiable," then by all means file a complaint and ask that it be listed for deletion. You have absolutely no case. No editor uploading a photograph is required to prove the source or copyright, which is impossible in the upload notes anyway. We are only required to state it. You of all people are the last to lecture on the sources of photographs, considering that you continually upload pictures without proper source and copyright information, for which you have been frequently rebuked     by administrators. In fact that very picture I was talking about earlier, Pearl with Nomani, was finally deleted after you failed to provide satisfactory source information. As for your objection to Nomani making a "grimace," she was not, it was just normal speech. I happen to admire and respect this author. This picture is a great deal better than the one you prefer, which is blurry and of inferior quality. What's more, it shows Nomani accepting an award form a gay Muslim advocacy organization, which has a linked article in Wikipedia. --AladdinSE 06:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Just get a proper picture of her that cannot be interpreted as a lampoon of her. Yes I have been challenged on my photos and I can likewise challenge other editors' uploads as well--CltFn 13:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I see, so now you are saying that you fabricated your objections regarding the source being "unverifiable," and knowingly altered the picture's licensing and listed it for deletion as a ruse, when really what you wanted a "better picture"? --AladdinSE 21:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * On the one hand, I do think the picture is quite unflattering, and it would be best if another could be found. On the other hand, I think CltFn's behaviour regarding the image is WP:POINT at best, and verging on a blockable offence at this point. Jayjg (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any other useful pictures from that event, I wish I did because it's so unfortunate that a regular snapshot during the course of normal speech should be seen as unflattering. However, I will contact some other photographers and see if they have one where she looks as bland as possible without the remotest chance of raising any of these objections, and see if they are willing to grant a free license to Wikipedia for said photograph.--AladdinSE 16:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Her right vs. "what she sees as her right"
"Her right" is less ponderous and perfectly POV. The statement does not suggest either that she is entitled to that right or that she is not, only that it is a right she demands. Babajobu 06:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

Babajobu, it's a small thing, but I see you removed "what she sees as her right to pray" with the men, and changed it to "her right." I'm not sure we can assert that someone has a right to pray in a certain area of private buildings. It's not a legal right, and given that many philosophers will tell you there's no such thing as a moral right, it's not clear what kind of right we'd be saying it is. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The way it's worded does suggest WP is saying she has that right: "Nomani became the first woman in her mosque in West Virginia to insist on the right to pray in the male-only main hall ..." SlimVirgin (talk) 06:35, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Slim, I agree with those philosophers who say there is no such thing as a moral right. Perhaps that's why when I read "insists on her right" it doesn't occur to me that this asserts that the right exists on any fundamental level, but only that she insists on acquiring that right in the context of the mosque. However, if other readers interpret "insists on her right" as positing the objective existence of that right, then clearly it can be regarded as POV and you can go ahead and change it back. But I have to tell you, when I read "what she sees as her right", I read it as at least weakly implying that the right is a spurious one. Not sure if other readers do. And not sure where that leaves us. Still, if you want to revert, that's fine, I'm a newcomer to this article and am happy to take in the scene a bit before getting imperious about my edits. ;-) Babajobu 06:54, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * No, I see what you're saying. Insisting on "the right" makes it more abstract that insisting on "her right" (implying she has one), which is how I first read it. By all means be imperious, given that you're usually right. ;-) SlimVirgin (talk) 07:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Ridiculous picture
Alladin, the problem with the picture is that makes her look ridiculous: her eyes are bulging, her facial muscles are contorted. Wikipedia doesn't generally run pictures like this when more neutral pictures are available. Babajobu 16:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * You are determined to find fault with a perfectly normal picture taken in the course of normal speech. Admin SlimVirgin has informed me that it is Wikipedia policy not to use Fair Use images when a free license picture is available. Moreover, the picture is at event that links to her advocacy on behalf of a progressive gay Muslim organization, Al-Fatiha which as a linked article in Wikipedia. --AladdinSE 16:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * AladdinSE, please don't take this the wrong way, but it really does make her look ridiculous, that's why people are objecting to it. Is there no more flattering picture you can find? Jayjg (talk) 16:39, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * AladdinSE, I wrote the stub on the Al-Fatiha Foundation, and I would like very much to have more links to it! But not at the cost of running a picture that looks so silly. This is not a criticism of your camera work: you just happened to catch her at a very awkward moment. Of course, we do prefer to run free license pictures rather than fair use pictures...but we also prefer to run pictures that are typical of a subject's appearance rather than ones that make them look extremely awkward. You say we "are determined to find fault with a perfectly normal picture". What, may I ask, would be our motivation for doing this? The fact is we really do think it makes her look bizarre. Babajobu 17:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Please see my last response to the "Claims of unverifiable Image source" section. I do understand what you're saying. I was thrown for a loop with that absurd and fabricated attack on the source of my photograph; and mistakenly grouped the other objections in the same light. I never personally saw anything like a grimace in the picture. I suppose this is because in my mind's eye I remember the pleasant speech she gave. It's just an unfortunate timing of the shutter in other people's eyes, I suppose. I don't have any other pictures of her that will do, but like I said in the previous section, I will be making some enquiries. I apologize if anyone was offended by the picture.. --AladdinSE 18:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, you're right, the claim that your image source was unverifiable was absurd and outrageous, and the labelling of it as such even more so; I can well understand why it upset you. Jayjg (talk) 20:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

"Illegitimate" son
Hmmm...well we seem to have multiple IPs who all agree that it's important that her child be identified as "illegitimate", even though this is a pejorative term used to communicate a point that is already expressed in a value-neutral manner elsewhere in the article. I've left notes on the talk pages of a couple IPs explaining why I believe this term is not helpful, but new IPs keep showing up and inserting the same comment. I've already reverted this twice today, and don't like reverting more than that, so I'm leaving it for now. Babajobu 22:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that "illegitimate son" is pejorative. I don't see why these anonymous editors consistently require more clarification than the phrase "unmarried mother" amply provides. --AladdinSE 19:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Read this for a clue.  --CltFn 05:36, 12 January 2006 (UTCItalic text)

My deletions of judgemental text
I am sorry to delete a significant piece of text, which evalustes and compares her efforts. My reasons are detailed in the article history, separate for each sentence, after my previous edit was reverted. I beg the editors to get themselves familiar with the policy about bios of living persons and rules of attribution. Colleague Sky7i, I am not questioning your edit comment: "Note that these statements simply report the reality of how her message has been received; not my judgments". I am saying that these judgements are not supported by proper references. Not to say that the first sentence of the deleted paragraph is poorly formulated, so that it is in fact wrong, although I understand what it intended to say. Mukadderat 01:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Restructuring proposal
I have an idea for organizing the article I wanted to discuss here first. The paragraph in the beginning of the article about the mainstream's reaction to her versus it's acceptance of people such as Ingrid Mattison is relevant, but I think it should be moved down to the Career section. As it is, half the article seems to be up in the introduction before her bio even starts and it doesn't look right. I think this proposal makes sense, please let me know if there are any ideas for or against. MezzoMezzo 16:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

please avoid the use of inline references
I just changed a bunch of inline references into full references. Inline references should be avoided because they don't provide enough clues to later editors when they find the link expired. Full references have the date, the publication, the title, the author, all clues that help track down mirror sites.

Two of the links are currently showing up as 404. Maybe it is temporary. If they are still 404 a week from now they should probaby be released. Geo Swan 16:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * still 404 Geo Swan 09:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

revert -- see talk
By all means we should remove unreliable links. But it should require more than a bald assertion that a link is bad to remove it.

Cheers! Geo Swan 09:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, the burden of proof is on the editor who wants to use a particular source to ensure and demonstrate that the source meets the standards of relevant Wikipedia policies. 168.105.120.138 23:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AsraNomani.jpg
Image:AsraNomani.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A pro-Nomani opinion piece masquerading as an encyclopedia entry
I will likely either mark this article as POV or add content to balance against its exclusively pro-Nomani content. The anti-Islamophobia 'community' nearly universally holds an exceptionally poor opinion of her, and that needs to be reflected in this entry. Places to begin examining that other side of the story are here, here, here, here and here.Haberstr (talk) 11:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Religion?
I understand that this is a contencious topic, but I am a bit confused by the layout of the article, the article is included category:Former Muslims turned agnostics or atheists yet half the article is dedicated to Nomani's movement to have women accepted in the same mosques as men in North America. If the subject truly is irreligious then why would she be campaining so hard for the right to go to the mosque? Inter&anthro (talk) 21:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Federalist Cite
None of the citations linking Nomani to The Federalist indicate that she works for the Federalist. None of the citations mention her name, or even indicate that she was involved in the referenced articles. She is listed a a contributor on the Federalist's web site, but unless there is a credible 3rd party reference about her articles, I think the entire thing should be boiled down to "She is listed as a senior contributor to The Federalist website." with a link to that article.

Arthur Gardiner Butler

Arthur Gardiner Butler F.L.S., F.Z.S. (27 June 1844 – 28 May 1925) was an English entomologist, arachnologist and ornithologist. He worked at the British Museum on the taxonomy of birds, insects, and spiders.

Biography
Arthur Gardiner Butler was born at Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London. He was the son of Thomas Butler (1809–1908), assistant-secretary to the British Museum. He was educated at St. Paul's School, later receiving a year's tuition in drawing at the Art School of South Kensington.

At the British Museum, he was appointed as an officer with two roles, as an assistant-keeper in zoology and as an assistant-librarian in 1879.

Work
He also published articles on spiders of Australia, the Galápagos, Madagascar, and other places. In 1859, he described the Deana moth.

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 1, June/July 2014 by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
 * WHO's list of Essential Medicines
 * Neglected tropical diseases
 * Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

I've () taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
 * IEG grant

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
 * Wikimania 2014

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
 * Integration progress

 * Swedish Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that. Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
 * Dutch Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
 * Polish Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article. (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
 * Arabic The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Whats with this????

An editor has expressed a concern that the subject of the article does not satisfy the notability guideline or one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Biographies, Books, Companies, Fiction, Music, Neologisms, Numbers, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines.

If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand the article to establish its notability, citing reliable sources. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for deletion, per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. (See also Wikipedia:Notability)

Tom Leykis
Looks like your "MWT" software reverted the edits I made to the Tom Leykis entry, claiming I was 'vandalizing' the page. If you take a look at the edit history, you'll see that I actually cleaned up the page by combining similar sections and rewriting awkward prose. I object to your use of automated software to claim that I was 'vandalizing' the page. Your software must be pretty stupid and unreliable. I also object to Wikipedia allowing automated software to undo legitimate edits without human review.

Marijuana
I'm interested in finding out your arguements about Marijuana legalisation. If I'm not mistaken, you support the use of Marijuana? I'd like to find out why, exactly. --Sumo Sniper 05:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no reason for Cannabis being classified as an illegal drug. Those that advocate prohibition tend to use "Junk science" in their reasoning. Physiologically, Cannabis is much safer than ethanol beverages. There is no practical risk of overdose, it does not impair judgement like alcohol does and it doesn't make people rowdy. I remember reading somewhere that up to 40% of crimes are committed under the influence of Alcohol. I am doubtful that many of those under the influence of Cannabis could even be bothered to commit a crime. I strongly suggest that you read this FAQ; http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_faq1.shtml --Jaymo 15:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Marijuana Wiki
Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Image copyright problem with Image:30-degree-rule.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:30-degree-rule.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 22:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:War105.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:War105.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

A few comments on your signature
First, I clicked on your signature to go to your user page and it lead me to User:Black Velvet instead of User:Black-Velvet. In fact the account User:Black Velvet doesn't exist yet, I made it redirect here so people don't get confused as to where your userpage is.

Something else about your sig. Please, could you not use the font size 4 in your signature. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll bold it for you:

This is your current signature:

Black-Velvet

Please alter your signature so it produces a littler font please. Maybe a size 2? And please change the link in which it goes to from Black Velvet to Black-Velvet. Thank you! — The King of Kings  23:46 June 30 '06

 * Thanks for telling me. I changed the link to User:Black-Velvet, and I changed the font size to 3. 2, I'm afraid, in my opinion, is much too small. If you have any further complaints in that area, then I suggest you change your browser settings. Black-Velvet  07:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Wiki-image.mpl plaster.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Wiki-image.mpl plaster.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Why Switzerland?
Hi. No, nothing to do with their financial position. I like the way they decentralize power to the cantons and let the people decide issues for themselves in referenda. Also that almost nobody outside Switzerland can name a Swiss politician, which is always a good sign. ;). Rhion 08:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I intended to revert those three edits as well. They simply removed the parenthetical SI measurements from the geography section, which doesn't accomplish anything useful and is kind of discourteous to users who aren't familiar with US Standard.

Alaibot tagging malformed disambigs
The basic problem here is that these all lack disambig, or any related template, and hence are uncategorised. Since it seems unlikely to be practicable to have a bot reliably tag these as disambiguation pages (and I'd be getting a lot more complaints if I were doing so unreliably), these are going to end up "clogging up", if not, then either or special:uncategorisedpages, until a human editor looks at them at some point and determines that a disambig really is what they're intended to be, as opposed to an actual article, since the distinction can be pretty murky. What I may do for now is have the bot skip the most common phrases used in disambigs on the "stub" run, which will mean it'll instead get picked up on the "uncategorised" pass (where it'll get dealt with a lot less promptly, I imagine, and may also get the occasional complaint). If you have any specific suggestions, I'm all ears. Alai 02:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:5CardStud.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:5CardStud.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:5CardStud.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:5CardStud.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:TheGreenBerets.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TheGreenBerets.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Bäckefors
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bäckefors, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Dals Långed. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Hof, Iceland
You created this page but there's no co-ordinates. I know there is a village of this name east of Skaftafell in Austur-Skaftafellssýsla, but that is much closer than 30km to the edge of Vatnajökull. Could you possibly add some more detail to this page because it seems inprecise and orphaned? --JBellis (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * FYI, please see Pending_changes/Feedback. Cenarium (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Quick Note
I see you recently accepted this edit to Rules of chess which is actually obvious vandalism (the board shows the White King being checkmated, the vandalism says Black was checkmated and White wins). This in turn generated this discussion, and some input might be handy here.

I do not know your level of understanding of the game of chess and do not imply anything such here, but more care needs to be taken in reviewing edits. If something is not obvious spam (i.e. "Black has just checkmated the White homo" or "White sucks here"), then carefully review the spot in the article where the edit is below and see if it makes sense. In many cases, copying the difference text and doing a find in the article takes you right there, then you can see it was obvious spam. =)

It's been corrected now, just take care in the future. I'm going now for lunch, TTYL. =) CycloneGU (talk) 17:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 * On review, it appears during some research that you clicked Accept, I'm guessing just to submit the comment, and that the edit was thus also accepted. If you disagree with an edit when reviewing, please use the Undo button and use your comment in the edit summary after the undid edit part.  And no worries, I was confused first, too. =)  CycloneGU (talk) 21:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that again, I meant to deny it but clicked the wrong button, and I meant to undo it and I thought I did. Black-Velvet  09:54, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Robert s abbott.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Robert s abbott.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Barry X Ball

A tag has been placed on Barry X Ball requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. noq (talk) 14:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Replaceable fair use File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:40, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Elena Delle Donne with egg.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Tables for lists of books
Hi there, I see you've recently added tables to house lists of books on pages about authors. The use of tables is a well-established convention for films, but it hasn't been usual for lists of books by a single author - and I'm not convinced it is an improvement. Do you know if there's been any general discussion or attempt to get consensus on this? Dsp13 (talk)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Your Signature
Hello, I came across your signature this evening due to two tracked syntax problems with it. It utilizes the obsolete tag which is not HTML5 compliant, and due to font color surrounding the userpage link instead of being within the link, your name is not displaying your specified color on most browsers and is defaulting to normal link blue. This is called a tidy font error.

If you would, please update your signature. The following is the error-free HTML5 equivalent to your current signature:  Black-Velvet   which displays as  Black-Velvet

Please and thank you. Best wishes, Zinnober9 (talk) Zinnober9 (talk) 02:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

User:Tintin1107/Lall

Lall Singh (born December 16, 1909, Kuala Lampur, Malaysia - died November 19, 1985, Kuala Lampur, Malaysia) was an early Indian Test cricketer.

Lall Singh's fame rests on his brilliant fielding which he displayed in India's first Test tour of England in 1932. He played in the only Test of the series and ran out Frank Woolley. In the second innings, he scored 29 and added 74 runs in 40 minutes with Amar Singh. He was an aggressive batsman with an uncertain defense.

During this tour, Harold Larwood had a bet with team-mate Bill Voce over who would be the first knock off Lall Singh's colourful turban. Different versions of this story exists, but David Frith writes that a film exists of the 'wretched batsman' being carried off the field with a bump on his head of the size of a lemon.

Singh was considered for the Tests against England in 1933-34, but English captain Douglas Jardine objected to it on the grounds that he was more of a Malaysian.

Mihir Bose writes that nobody is quite sure where Singh was born, but Kuala Lampur is the closest description. ''So exotic was he that there were stories of his running a nightclub in Paris. The truth was more prosaic. He lived out his life as a groundsman in Kuala Lampur''

Remark
Hi Tony. Thank you for putting interlanguage links. And one remark. Would you mind putting an edit summary? Something like "+zh" if you add links to the Chinese wikipedia, would be very helpful.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tony Liao. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tony Liao~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Call me Miss.jpg

Parkeston, Western Australia

Parkeston is a suburb of the city of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, located 3 km east of the city centre. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 60, down from 69 in 2006. It contains the Ninga Mia Aboriginal community.

Parkeston was gazetted as a townsite in 1904. It was almost certainly named after Sir Henry Parkes, the "father of Australian Federation".

Railway
Parkeston is located near the western end of the Trans-Australian Railway. From 1917, the town was the interchange between the Western Australian Government Railways narrow gauge railway from Perth and the Commonwealth Railways' standard gauge railway to Port Augusta – a break of gauge that was not eliminated until 1970.

The elevation at the railway sidings is 375 metres.

Camp
In 1919 Parkeston had a quarantine camp, due to passengers on trains from Adelaide being required to be quarantined. The internees produced a newspaper known as the Yellow Rag which had details of passengers and crew.

During and after World War II, Parkeston was the location of a small prisoner-of-war transit and detention camp, also known as the staging camp. It operated between June 1940 and March 1947 as a transit place for prisoners transiting across the country by rail, having a capacity of 20 internees in small cells.

Aboriginal community
The Ninga Mia settlement was established in 1983, constructed by Aboriginal Hostels Limited as the Ninga Mia Fringe-Dweller Village. It was created as an Aboriginal Lands Trust Reserve and leased to the Ninga Mia Village Aboriginal Corporation. It was also used by visitors from remote Aboriginal communities in the Western Desert.

Ninga Mia contained around 30 houses as well as a management office, health clinic, communal kitchen and computer room. In 2004, it was described by Guardian writer David Fickling as a shantytown with many houses lacking basic facilities. A state government audit in 2018 found that no major refurbishments had been carried out since the 1980s and recommended that the community be closed; the Aboriginal corporation holding the village lease had been deregistered several years earlier. A number of homes were subsequently demolished and residents relocated. The Department of Communities described Ninga Mia as "a site of continued social dysfunction with no governance, declining, aged and no longer fit for purpose infrastructure, [and] no system of community governance". It reportedly budgeted for the relocation of 56 residents, although some inhabitants were opposed to the closure of the village.
