Ogham Coincidence

edit

Hi mceder I noticed your interest and remembered a program i had seen on TV about ogham insciptions on late roman/early saxon town houses of the roman name and info of the owner of the house(in latin but using ogham script). Thought it was very strange and a recent discovery i'll try and remember more info, i know it was a BBC program called "Meet the Ancestors" and was a one hour on a romano-british town.Hypnosadist 00:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Removal of Terrorist category

edit

I agree that this category should not exist, but I am concerned about the reverting happening on the Baruch Goldstein article. I saw you have tried to get the category deleted before but was unable to reach consensus and that is a shame.

There is no official policy on Wikipedia that states to avoid the word Terrorist. There is Wikipedia:Words to avoid, which is a guide... And it argues both for and against the use of said word! What it does state is that the word should be used in a manner that describes who is calling them what. Is a notable organisation calling Baruch Goldstein a terrorist and are there reputable sources that backs that up? If so, I believe the category should remain. mceder (u t c) 16:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree he is a terrorist. However, I think such a category creates a list of "Terrorists according to Wikipedia" which is a violation of WP:NPOV. Whether sources are provided is irrelevent in my opinion; a category of 'Accused terrorists' would be OK, but by adding someone to such a category as simply 'Terrorists' basically says Wikipedia agrees with the source, which it cannot do. Thus, while he is clearly a terrorist, there are lots of other people that belong on the list that are not there because some people object to their being labelled as a terrorist. So long as this subjectivity continues, it is not fair to label anyone as a terrorist 'according to Wikipedia.' —Aiden 19:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Organizational Chart of the Hezbollah

edit

Hi, could you please help us with making this chart in wikipeida:[1]--Sa.vakilian 03:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's great. Thanks a lot. But I guess we have some problem with copy right rule. Because it has derived from "In the path of Hezbollah" by Ahmad Nezar Hamze and on the other hand its reliability depends on that book.--Sa.vakilian 11:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Moving info. to a new article

Rudeness by that admin

edit

I am very sorry that you were insulted by that user on Talk:Fear of dogs, and I am even more sorry that the person who insulted you was an administrator who is supposed to know better. You as an editor deserve and environment where you are not insulted over a simple content dispute, and it is a real shame that the very folks that are supposed to protect you from that sort of thing are throwing it at you.

I have given that admin a warning about personal attacks, which was not received well. I give you my assurances that I will be watching that admins contributions closely from here on. Please do not let his behavior intimidate you from any page you wish to edit. ((1 == 2) ? (('Stop') : ('Go')) 21:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:HezbollahOrgChart.png

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Image:HezbollahOrgChart.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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 [[ Talk:Image:HezbollahOrgChart.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 18:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Indian motorcycle logo.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Indian motorcycle logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
