Unexplained One World Trade Center reversion

edit

Why did you revert my own revert to an IP's edit, and without explanation on top of that? At least I gave a very simple explanation for reverting that IP's edit: It has already been covered with the following sentences in the general Architecture & Design section: "The building's footprint is a 200-foot (61 m) square" as well as-- "As the tower rises from its cubic base, the square edges are chamfered back, transforming the building's shape into eight tall isosceles triangles, or an elongated square antiprism.[35] Near its middle, the tower forms a perfect octagon in-plan, and then culminates in a glass parapet whose shape is a square rotated 45 degrees from the base." There is absolutely no need for repetition or reiteration in this case. Please give me a clear explanation as to why you reverted soon or I will be inclined to remove those unnecessary sentences once again. Cadiomals (talk) 19:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's been six hours and you haven't yet replied. If you don't reply to this message within 12 hours, I will regard your reversion as simply an attempt to disrupt and restore my edit. Thank you. Cadiomals (talk) 01:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
I was unaware that the sentence was repetitive as I didn't read the sentence you quoted. At first I thought this was a nice addition. Now that I see that it repeats a better worded phrase earlier in the article I agree that this sentence can be removed. (User:Renetus) 12:44, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Flag of Syria

edit

I'm telling the truth GhiathArodaki (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

ghiath looks to be from the syrian electronic army that is vandalizing websites Alhanuty (talk) 18:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hahaha, Funny , Must i laugh more ?How a silly wordGhiathArodaki (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

what are we going to do if ghiath tries to vandalize the article.Alhanuty (talk) 16:49, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion you are both too involved to be neural and it would be best for both of you to stop editing this article. As a Syrian GhiathArodaki is to passionate about his standpoint and is clearly violating wikipedia rules. His contributions are mostly reverting, deleting and adding poor english language. Your (Alhanuty) edits are les disruptive but you also reverted some constructive contributions and have started threatening me if I didn't leave the article the way you left it. I have the impression that as a Kurd you strongly favour the Independence flag (to support the opposition) and are doing everything you can to represent this flag (and the opposition) as being of equal status in the name of objectivity. In the case of Lybia the green flag was a Kadhafi symbol. Because the red-white-black flag is not an Assad symbol I can understand that people object to the title "Flag used by the Assad government". I personally would prefer calling section 1 and 2, United Arab Republic flag and Independence flag as in the introduction. If GhiathArodaki (or you) would continue to violate wikipedia rules I would report that again which would probably lead to a higher sanction this time. Renetus (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

i wasn't vandalizing the article,i was making it neutral and i was reverting ghiath vandalism,but we have to find a solution for ghiath vandalism because he is refusing to stop his vandalism and he is vandalizing the article even he got blocked for 72 hours Alhanuty (talk) 20:11, 26 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

He will get himself blocked if he continues his behaviour. We'll see.... Renetus (talk) 20:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC) when i said leave it,that was about the introduction,because the explanation of the flags was in the article,so i was meaning that,but now i agree to what you did in the introduction Alhanuty (talk) 21:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Can you tell me what is disputed about the Syrian flag and coat of arms? Do you now about the colours of the Syrian flag which is still rising over the UN headquarters? Do you know that the Syrian passport bearing the two-starred coat of arms is accepted abroad and any other passport is not legal? Do you know that Bashar al-Assad is still called president by the entire world? If you know all of those facts, so please do not play dirty games and restore the official Syrian flag at the infobox.--Preacher lad (talk) 14:29, 28 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
The legitimacy of the Assad government is disputed and the flag is as well. I know about the UN seat, and about the Arab League seat. The "entire world" is not calling Assad the legitimate president anymore. Many countries now recognize the Syrian National Coalition as sole legitimate representative of Syria. Renetus (talk) 14:37, 28 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Then, we will stand at the UN representation. Yeah, a group of islamists with long beards are becoming legitimate representatives for Syria, funny kidding me?! Do not tell me that Jabhat al-Nussra front is the official army of Syria, please do not tell me!--Preacher lad (talk) 04:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

File:1928 Olympics poster day program.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:23, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Altavista-logo.png

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Altavista-logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
