Hello, Abuk SABUK, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion of The True Furqan

edit
 

A tag has been placed on The True Furqan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 22:24, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The True Furqan

edit

Before creating an article about a book, read Wikipedia:Notability (books). Most books are not notable enough to be included in the encyclopedia.

Given the Amazon reviews: 39 5-star, 215 1-star, and a smattering in between, I highly doubt this book has won any major awards or otherwise qualifies as notable. The fact that of the 50 most helpful reviews, all 50 reviewed it as 1 star supports this.

Wikipedia is a "lagging indicator" of notability. A subject must become notable outside of Wikipedia before an article can be written here. If you do write an article about this book and it is not notable, expect it to be deleted through either the speedy deletion process, the proposed deletion process, or the Articles for Deletion process, most likely the last one. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also:
  • Do not include copyrighted information, including editorials from book-review sites.
  • Maintain a neutral point of view, that is, one that reflects society's view of the subject. When Amazon.com reviews are roughly 4-to-1 against the book, including only a single positive review without additional comments to show that the negative side is unbalanced. Any article about this book will out of necessity show it in the unfavorable light that "society at large" seems to have of the book. If it doesn't when the article is created, it will soon as other editors change the article.
  • Do not re-create an article deleted through speedy deletion without addressing the concerns of the deletion. If you feel the reason for speedy-deletion were unwarranted, open a discussion at deletion review.
  • If you are determined to write an article about this topic, I recommend you draft it as a "user draft" at User:Abuk_SABUK/The True Furqan then, when it is ready, ask Dougweller (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted The True Furqan, if the new draft addresses his concerns and if there is anything else that must be changed to avoid speedy deletion.
  • Personally, this is probably a waste of time. See Don Quixote and Tilting at windmills.

How controversial is it? I saw on User_talk:Dougweller#The True Furqan that you say the book is controversial. That might give the book the notability it requires. Draft an article in User:Abuk_SABUK/The True Furqan that focuses on the controversy, and which uses independent, third-party, reliable sources to establish that the book is sufficiently controversial to warrant an article. See The Satanic Verses for an example of a controversial book. Of course, a book by a famous author will have more positive things to say about it than a book that is notable only for being controversial. Once you are done with your draft, have Dougweller take a look at it. It still may not pass muster, but it will be good practice for your next article. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Flight computer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CR (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dead reckoning

edit

Hi, I see you've made some improvements to the Air navigation section of Dead reckoning. As the section (like much of the article) is uncited, do you perhaps have some suitable sources that could be added as references? all the best Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yabancı kelimelere gelen ekler

edit

Selamlar. Bu konuda net bir bilgi yoktu elimizde hatırlarsan. TDK'nın sitesinde de herhangi bir bilgi yer almıyordu. Burada, TDK'ya atılan bir e-posta ile iki farklı soru sormuşlar. İlki, yabancı özel adlara gelen yapım ekleri kesme işaretiyle ayrılır mı (Norwich'li mi Norwichli mi örn.)? İkincisi ise gelen ekler, o kelimenin yazılışına göre mi yoksa okunuşuna göre mi gelir (United'e mı United'a [yunaytıd-a] örn.)? Cevabı aynen kopyalıyorum: Yazım Kılavuzu'nda belirlenen kurallara göre, özel isimlere getirilen iyelik, durum ve bildirme ekleri kesmeyle yazılır. Özel isim olduğu hâlde kurum ve kuruluş adlarına, unvanlara, akım, çağ ve dönem adlarına gelen ekler kesmeyle yazılmaz.

Sorunuzun cevabı olarak özel adlara getirilen yapım ekleri ve bunlardan sonra gelen diğer ekler kesmeyle ayrılmaz. Bu durumda doğru yazılış şu şekildedir: Alvesli.

Yabancı özel adlarda adın özgün okunuşu temel alınmakta ve buna göre ek getirilmektedir.

Bu yazıyı ve gerekli bilgilendirmeleri köy çeşmesinde duyurup, ilgili kılavuz sayfalarımıza ekler misin sana zahmet? Hemen hemen tüm topluluğun ikilemde kaldığı bir konu bu, açıklığa kavuşsun :) Bir mevzu daha vardı aslında, onu da geri dönüş yaptıktan sonra söyleyeyim :) İyi günler--Rapsar (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Çekim ekleri zaten her türlü kesme işaretiyle ayrıldığından sıkıntı olmaması lazım :)--Rapsar (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
