[edit] Image Tagging Image:Geishunkyo bridge.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Geishunkyo bridge.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 16:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:CEN-SAD-emblem.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:CEN-SAD-emblem.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia: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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 5, 2006

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on March 5, 2006, by Chris9086 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because March 5, 2006 fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting March 5, 2006, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Eating Asida.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Eating Asida.JPG. 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:

[edit] Rack_(Torture)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Rack_(torture). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Jfiling 01:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for the vandalism warning. The reverts you made were to highly controversial and completely unsubstantiated statements, which it appeared that you had either added yourself or you had previously reverted back into the article. Whichever is the case, I see that those statements are no longer in the article, which is good unless there is better proof for them to be included. For what it's worth, I do believe that Bush has ordered torture of suspected terrorists, possibly even including the rack, and I will be the first one to add that to that article once it is substantiated, unless you beat me to it ;) Jfiling 05:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dubai Cares

A tag has been placed on Dubai Cares, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Slavery by country

Hi. I see your rationale for keeping the page and it certainly looks as though it might be useful (though your definition of "slavery" will have to be well-sourced), however Wikipedia can't have effectively empty pages hanging about for indeterminate times while they're under development. Rather than deleting the page I've moved it to your user space here. You can edit it it there, taking as much time as you like to add content. When the content looks substantial enough for a mainspace article, you can move it back yourself (use the "move" tab at the top) or ask me, or any other editor, to do it for you.

[edit] Libyan Arabic

Could you please write a stub about Kurów in Libyan Arabic here – just a few sentences based on http://kurow-wiki.openhosting.pl/wiki/ar:%D9%83%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%81 ? Only 5-10 sentences enough. Please.

PS. Article about Kurów is already in 276 languages and dialects. If your village/town/city isn't yet on PL wiki, I can do article about it. (I'm first author of requests and this article have the biggest number of interwikis) Pietras1988 ^TALK 12:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:2193497389 6b7149ff60 o.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:2193497389 6b7149ff60 o.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 13:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Tripoli catholic church.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:2193497389 6b7149ff60 o.jpg. The copy called Image:2193497389 6b7149ff60 o.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

[edit] Barnstar

Oh thank you very much, shukran, shukran, I love editing Wikipedia articles on Libya and making them as neutral as possible. I always consider myself a very neutral person and thats why I started editing them in the first place. Once I find more time, my next goal are the cities. Only Tripoli and Benghazi have good articles at present.

Anyway thanks a lot for the barnstar, I really appreciate it! Jaw101ie (talk) 21:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Map of Kanem

Hello ! I am sorry for the late response. You asked on what source this map is based. It is a bit inacurate, because it does not represent the raw territory of the Kanem Empire, but mostly the cultural influence of the state. Also, it does include the Bornu kingdom, which explains the weird marking west of lake Chad. I hope it does not represent a problem. By the way I didn't knew about the existence of a territory map of Kanem in Commons, thank you. :)

[edit] Copts in Libya

Thanks for adding info about Copts in Libya. The lines you added say that the Coptic community in Libya is composed almost exclusively of foreigners. Are you sure that almost exclusively is the right choice of words here as I am not aware that there are non-Muslim Libyan nationals, which would mislead the reader to thinking that there is indeed a small (very small) indigenous minority of Libyan Copts - which is not the case. P.S. Consider adding the info to Christianity in Libya article as well. cheers. ;) -- hɑkeem_¡ʇu^{ɐ^ɹ}ɯǝǝʞɐɥ 06:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You mean I wrote that specifically in the article "Religion in Libya"? If so, than I only added to what had already been written.

This is the original sentence (as I remember it):

"The Anglican bishop of Libya has his seat in Cairo, as most Christians in Libya come from Egypt"

This is half-true, as Copts, who slightly outnumber the other denominations, are originally from Egypt — in fact, they are probably the closest to being pure descendants of the ancient Egyptians. However, you do have a point as to how this implies that the, quote, majority of Christians are almost exclusively foreigners.

I only added:

"The Anglican bishop of Libya has his seat in Cairo, as most Christians in Libya come from Egypt... including the Copts"

Either way, both are inaccurate, as it should probably only say that most Christians, the Coptic Orthodox, as well a few other denominations, have historical roots in Egypt.

I can tell you one thing for sure, though, I don't even remember writing the exact words: "the Coptic community in Libya is composed almost exclusively of foreigners". I know for a fact that this is not logical, as it is not feasible in most circumstances to have the majority being immigrants for centuries! The Italians have a history as well, as Libya was once a colony, so the same goes for all of the other Christians who have at least a notable prescence (ie: Catholics, Anglicans, Greeks, Russians).

Also, it was contradictary when it said that the Catholics have the largest minority, and then said the same for the Copts. According to the source I added, along with the Catholic source, the Copts should have about 10,000-20,000 more than the Catholics, so as this difference is not noticable, I see why the articles said what they used to.

Would you mind telling me where you think it needs help? Until then, I will try to add more information to the articles - may be it should clear up this mess with all this articles (the text is almost "exclusively" copy-and-pasted XD)Thanks a bunch. :)

~ Troy (talk) 23:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I agree entirely about what you say about Looklex Encyclopedia. The only problem is, it's probably the only source that I can find for the Copts in Libya — notice that I only used the 1% figure as an approxamite estimate. However, if I do find a better source (AKA, any other source at all XD ), then I'll replace Looklex with that other source. In any case, I would like to thank-you for helping me out and I look forward to working with you. Later,

~ Troy (talk) 22:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, I should notify you that whoever wrote "exclusively" to begin with didn't have any of the right sources. Thus, I have changed "exclusively" —> "largely" — not the best word, but I think that you'll find that it's far more suitable ;). Cheers, ~ Troy (talk) 22:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, then. Considering that you know more about Libya than I do, I'm not going to touch that sentence. Of course, if either one of us finds a reliable source which is contrary to any of our edits, then it should logically override our perspectives. Until then, I think that this is agreeable. Thanks for co-operating, ~ Troy (talk) 23:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
