Using one of your images
editHello. Just wanted to thank you for the image of black soldier flies mating, which I am using as a banner image on one of my podcast episode pages.
I would have linked to your own site, but it appears to be HTTP:// only and will not load. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeremyCherfas (talk • contribs) 13:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Request for input and keep up the great work!
editHi Muhammad! First off, great job on the work you are doing! You have an incredible eye for detail.
Also, I wanted to ask you if youre not too busy, if you could take a quick look at the Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Monroe Street Bridge Featured pic candidate and give your two cents. It got 4 supports and 1 oppose on the first day as a FPC, but hasnt gotten input since. I think it has been buried by the flurry of other FPCs coming in lol. I think this picture has high EV and I have found no comparable bridge pictures of any quality on this site that depict what is in this photograph, so I think it is important to the project and will be worth your time.
Anyway, thank you for all you do!G755648 (talk) 02:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Muhammad,
Just to let you know, the Featured Picture File:Grammodes geometrica moth.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on October 30, 2014. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2014-10-30. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:37, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey, Muhammad. I hate to be a pain about this, but I was trying to get a good writeup for your excellent photo, went to Fatima Masumeh Shrine, read the opening, and...
I just don't know enough about Islam. I mean, I can mostly understand the opening paragraph, but I don't know, for example, who the Twelver are, or other key information for interpreting it. Would you be willing to give me two to four sentences on the shrine that I can use in the Signpost article? Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:23, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, I have taken the introduction from the article and removed some of the filler and added a little to it. --Muhammad(talk) 19:33, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- The shrine of Fatima Masuma is located in Qom which is considered by Shia Muslims to be the second most sacred city in Iran after Mashhad. Fatima Masuma was the sister of the eighth Imam 'Ali al-Rida and the daughter of the seventh Imam Musa al-Kadhim. Among the shias, she is honored as a saint, and her shrine in Qom is considered one of the most significant shrines in Iran. The dome shown in the picture lies immediately above her burial chamber which also includes her 3 nieces
- Thank you so much! =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:37, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Spiders
editSince you seem to have no problems identifying spiders, I was wondering if you could help me out with these two. Both were taken at the Sambisari Temple Complex, Indonesia: A jumping spider, and a white-haired spider. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: They are Terrifyingus whyisitsospikius and Aughus keepitawayfrommeum. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Aww, the second one's rather cute, Restorationus extraordinarium. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:13, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, okay, I'm exaggerating with the second one. But the first one makes me shudder. SPIDERS SHOULDN'T BE SPIKY! Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Muhammad's spider is spiky too.

It's not me identifying them, I usually put them up on forums where there are experts to help out. The first one is A lynx spider - Oxyopidae, probably Oxyopes --Muhammad(talk) 12:30, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm tempted to say Oxyopes quadrifasciatus, but I'm not sure if there's anything similar-looking to that that might get confused for it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:24, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Idea: Additional language descriptions of File:Takbir of prayer.jpg
edit
Are you interested in adding other language versions of the image description to File:Takbir of prayer.jpg? I see English and Arabic. If you know Kannada, Hindi-Urdu, or other South Asian languages having descriptions in them would be very beneficial too.

Would like to use photo in a Google Map of Farming.
editHi Muhammad,
I am PragmaticStatistic, and I have a free educational web site, MyReadingMapped.blogspot.com, that contains over 150 Google Maps of historic and scienific events, many of which are listed on Wikipedia as external links; for example my Google Map of the Topography of Plate Tectonics that appears at the bottom of the Wikipedia Plate Tectonics page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics. I am currently working on a Google Map of Farming or Agriculture and would like to use your photo of the Masaai herdsman grazing his cattle inside the Ngorongoro crater https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Masaai_with_cattle.jpg as an example of farming in far off and extreme places. If you happen to have a variation of the photo that is not so horizontal would make it bigger in Google Map. You can see my progress so far on this map at https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zlY48eTMIq2I.kqPznatwTwTo. What this map map will do is put a location to photos that are examples of various types of farming around the world. If would be similar to my Google Map of Geology http://myreadingmapped.blogspot.com/2014/07/google-map-of-geology.html.
In order to determine the location within the crater I found a Panoramio cattle photo in the Ngorongoro crater at coordinates 3° 11' 30.35" S 35° 30' 12.68" E at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/73326897. Is that coordinate close enough to the location of your photo? You can reach me via my contact page on my web site.
If you have any other such photos I would love to use them as well.
Sincerely, Pragmaticstatistic (talk) 17:55, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Dear Muhammad, this is a great picture (as usual from you), but not Anopheles gambiae. No long palps: no Anopheles. I would think it is a Culex quinquefasciatus, but would have to see other sides to be sure. Could you have the name changed, maybe to Culicine mosquito Dar or something like that? It is already being used under the topic Anopheles.

Used Anopheles photo in non-commercial non-profit blog post
editI see on Wikimedia Commons that you request users of your Wiki photos to post a message on your talk page. I write a non-commercial blog about birds and nature called Outside My Window at https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/ that has 700 to 3000 readers per day, depending on the topic. Today, 2 July 2018, I blogged about a study that discovered that malaria makes people smell better to mosquitoes. To illustrate the blog post, I used your photo at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anopheles_gambiae_Mosquito.jpg and posted it here: https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/2018/07/02/malaria-makes-you-smell-better/ Kate St. John, Pittsburgh, PA, USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by KPeregrine (talk • contribs) 12:04, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Picture of the day
editI am translating the page of the Dharmaraya Swamy temple where your photo appears is to ask if I can put it on the same page but translated in Catalan and Spanish. Thank you.
Greetings
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Dharmaraya Swamy Temple Bangalore edit1.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on February 16, 2020. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2020-02-16. It has taken a long time for this picture to appear on POTD, largely because the Wikipedia article on the temple was too stubby. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:09, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Congratulations
editI wish to congratulate you for the high quality of your pictures. When I discovered them, I came to your web page, and I used many of your pictures to illustrate the "Dictionnaire des Sciences Animales". It is a free access french dictionnary about animals (and also many plants).
I cited your pictures for example like that : " Chrysomya albiceps, se nourrit de viande pourrie, à Dar es Salam, Tanzanie. (fichier Wiki Commons : "Chrysomya_albiceps_eating") (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GNU_Free_Documentation_License,_version_1.2) DP-_GNU1-2 - Karim Muhammad Mahdi, 2009 - licence GNU Free Documentation License ". I hope it is good.
I used for example among 34 photos : - ampulicidés : Ampulex compressa, — - abeilles vraies : Abeille géante, Apis dorsata, ruche naturelle, — - bilan fourrager : African_boy_transporting_fodder_by_bicycle. — - calliphoridés : Bengalia sp. — - caloptérygidés : Phaon iridipennis, — - cénagrionidés : Ceriagrion glabrum, — - charaxes : Charaxes brutus natalensis.

Blocked for sockpuppetry
edit
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. - TheresNoTime 😺 09:51, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Muhammad Mahdi Karim (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I know User:Mydreamsparrow (Augustus Binu), a fellow photographer from my college days in India. We were studying and living in the same college and I introduced him to Wikipedia, showing him how to edit articles, create user pages and particularly introduced him to contribute to Wikipedia:Featured Pictures as a way of improving his photography since it had done so to me. During this time, we even took a picture of the Vidhana Soudha together and I have labelled it as such on Wiki since 2012. w:File:Vidhana_Soudha_2012.jpg. Additionally, a simple check of the EXIF data of the pictures taken by Mydreamsparrow and me will show the differences in Camera used. I am not aware who the other users linked in the accusation are or if they have any relation with Mydreamsparrow. If ip logs can assist to prove my innocence, you may see that since 2015, most of my edits will have been from Tanzania where I am now based. I'm not sure about Wikipedia's procedure for blocking accused sockpuppets but it would have been good to at least have a chance to defend myself before getting blocked and my userpage getting blanked, having been a valuable contributing member for so many years. Really saddened and disappointed at this. Muhammad(talk) 10:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Unblock granted after consultation with the blocking checkuser. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:17, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
I have raised your appeal to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Muhammad Mahdi Karim and Mydreamsparrow. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:41, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks King of Hearts. I hope CU checks can prove my innocence. I was in India from mid 2009 until early 2015 living in the same dorm as Dreamsparrow but my edits after that should show beyond doubt that I have been in another country since (Tanzania) and not been sockpuppetting as claimed. Photograph EXIF data should also be used, as you must be aware Canon/Nikon lenses are not interchangeable and since I started photography seriously I have been using Canon SLRs including Canon 400D, 600D and 6D with canon lenses. I am willing to share my government issued ID privately if this can assist to clear my name --Muhammad(talk) 07:05, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Should the deer genus Rusa be classified under Cervus

The green terror (Andinoacara rivulatus) is a colorful species of freshwater fish in the cichlid family, Cichlidae. The fish originates from the Pacific side of South America from the Tumbes River in Peru to the Esmeraldas River in Ecuador. It is polymorphic and can have white or gold-orange edging to the tail and dorsal fins. As its name implies, late juvenile-phase and adult-phase specimens can be very aggressive. This green terror was photographed at Karlsruhe Zoo in Germany. Photograph credit: H. Zell
