Al Ain

Great work editing the Al Ain article, Maktaba. I was just thinking today the page was long enough for some sections. Do you have a source on Sheikh Zayed having been born in the city? I had never heard that. Marskell 13:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Coltness3.jpg

The file File:Coltness3.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
