Hello, Msanta20, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Sam Sailor and I would like to thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

If you need further help, you can:

    Ask a question

or even:

    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, place {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.


Again, welcome,  and happy editing!

Better source request for File:Azadi Stadium Sorkhabi derby.jpg

edit

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Baba Tahir may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

A help in the talk page of Iran

edit

Hey,

Please go to the talk page of Iran (Talk:Iran) and read the two last sections. If you agree with me about them, just write it down and say you agree.

Thank you so much. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 10:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Photo Montage of Tehran in the Page of Iran

edit

Hi, The current montage of Tehran in the page of Iran is a non-professional and non-standard montage. Because the black lines distancing pictures are disordered and unfit to the photos, and the photos are criticized themselves.

If you believe we need to use another photo in this part of the page of Iran, I can make a new version of the montage and include it into the page. But the current image you've put there is out of standards.

Thank you for being an active and careful user. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 08:32, 7 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dear Arvid Qasemy! since that part is mainly focusing on the Iran's industries, I think you should use more of economic, financial and industrial symbols of Tehran. For example, you can keep the first two rows (photos of Tehran skyline, Milad tower and Azadi tower (as the symbols of Tehran)) and then include more photos from Central Bank of Iran, Tehran Stock Exchange, Tehran International Fair, Tehran Metro, Tehran International Tower (as a symbol of the construction industry), Tehran Oil Refinery, Tehran IKI Airport, Bank Melli Iran, Tehran Bazaar, Iran Air, etc. Thanks. Msanta20 (talk) 04:17, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Also, it would be very helpful if you could create the photo montage for other main cities of Iran, including Shiraz, Ahvaz, Kermanshah and Kerman. Thanks Msanta20 (talk) 04:17, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Alright, check the new one. :) Arvid Qasemy (talk) 11:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Arvid Qasemy! The new one is all about buildings. Could you include more of industrial environment in it (such as Tehran Oil Refinery, Tehran International Fair, Tehran IKI Airport, Iran Air, etc.) or some interior spaces (such as Tehran International Fair, Metro or Bazaar)? You can also add more rows (enlarge the length of the montage) to include more pictures. Thanks. Msanta20 (talk) 22:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I believe this one is enough. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 08:00, 13 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
It still has too many buildings in the montage. I think this one (the former version) is good, except the face that you need to remove this photo (it is mixed picture and not appropriate for the montage) and replace it with something else (industrial element and not another building).
