Speedy deletion nomination of Oriental Society for Literature Ancestral Studies and History

A tag has been placed on Oriental Society for Literature Ancestral Studies and History 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 club, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 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. Qö₮$@37 (talk) 13:56, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Mahls.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mahls.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 13:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)^(Talk) 13:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Brother!

Brother the correct English spelling is Mahls (for people), and Mahl (for the language). But pronunciation is Mahals and Mahal. English spelling is Maldives but pronunciation is Moaldivs isn't it. Check the following two links. These are screenshots of two books. One books is published by Cambridge. Cambridge and Oxford are the most authentic sources for English Spellings

Yes brother, but there are many contradictions. How about the case in "Taj Mahal"... There are some people who prefer using "Taj Mahl", but still the common usage is "Taj Mahal" right. Other millions of cases ranging from famous international landmarks, companies, places, etc... the common usage of the word is still "Mahal". Lets look at the etymology of the name. We all believe that here in this case the word "Mahl" is taken from Arabic word "Mahal" right... If it is the case the most commonly used and internationally accepted term for the word is "Mahal". In case of the Hindi language too "Mahal" is used instead of "Mahl" for referring to palaces of Indian Kings. I can give many other examples of the usage of "Mahal" instead of "Mahl". It is the most commonly used and most accepted term. On the first hand the etymology of the name and many other factors prove that "Mahal" is the most correct way.

Please take into note brother. According to Wikipedia terms and guidelines we should be using the commonly used term in such a case. I have gone through many of the websites including websites from Maliku (like mathaaran.com) as well as the Indian Government websites and figured out that the commonly used term for the word is "Mahal". As a proof please take a look at the google search. For "Mahl language" we get 54,000 results while for "Mahal language" we get 2,070,000 results. In case of the English language please take into consideration the famous online dictionary - thefreedictonary.com. There even the word "Mahal" is used instead of "Mahal". Many other examples. So with respect to Wikipedia guidelines it should be Mahal which is the common usage and the most correct and widely accepted term taking into account the etymology of the name and many other factors. There is a group which always prefer using "Mahl" instead of Mahal. But we should believe the fact that the common usage is "Mahal". Some people prefer writing "Taj Mahl", but we all agree that the common term is "Taj Mahal". In such cases commonly used term or the most correct way taking into account the etymology of the name, is preferred in Wikipedia articles.

Dear Brother,

I am from Maliku and I am one of the administrators of http://www.mathaaran.com the spellings in mathaaran is corrected now. It happened because it was a copy and paste from wikipedia. And the website is under construction. please see the website http://www.mahlkot.com as well. We Malikans use the spelling Mahl and Mahls.

Manikfan (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

When we look at the origin of the name here in this case we find out that the correct spelling is inarguably Mahal. Please look at the correct spelling from the historical accounts and reliable documents... This one as a proof... (http://www.archive.org/stream/hobsonjobsonglos00yulerich#page/547/mode/1up) Many other proofs. See this one too. (http://www.qaumiyyath.gov.mv/docs/whitepapers/history/Names%20of%20Maldives.pdf) I would like to present before you how the spelling was used in historical accounts and the official usage of the spelling today. We all believe that Mahal here in this case derived from Mahal in Mahaldheebu or Mahal used to refer to the king's place... For instance, from historical documents we see (Mahal-dives, Dhibat Al Mahal, Al Daulat min al- Mahaldibiyat, Diva-Mahal, etc...) which can be seen from the links I have given. Today what which is most closely related to the subject is the national emblem of the Maldives which itself uses the spelling Ad-Dawlat Al-Mahaldheebiyya. Qaumiyyath.gov.mv is the website of the Maldives National Centre for Linguistic and Historical Research. There even the spelling used is "Mahal" with an "a" instead of "Mahl". Thus, the official usage of the spelling is inarguably "Mahal". The etymology of the name too proves on the first hand. I have presented some details above. From all the reliable sources available it is clear that the correct spelling is "Mahal", brother. Now it seems that the usage of "Mahl" has been originated from the name "Mahlkot". Anyway, the usage of "Mahl" has been started much later. We should be relying upon the native documents and the most closely related ones. We should rely on the most reliable sources and accounts. With respect to Wikipedia guidelines concentrating on the sources available we should be using the most correct and commonly used spelling which itself is clearly "Mahal". So the names have to be changed brother...

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
