Thanks for uploading Image:2001 ed The International Jew by Henry Ford.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 21:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please explain what does "there is a concern" mean, and exactly what about this low resolution sourced image is being disputed and where? Thanks. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 23:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I intend to use the graphic image labeled "2nd century Rome gold goblet shows Jewish ritual objects.jpg" <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:2nd_century_Rome_gold_goblet_shows_Jewish_ritual_objects.jpg> as an illustration for a forthcoming textbook on Judaism to be published commercially by Routledge. Since you are listed as the file's uploader, my editors have recommended "if you are in any doubt you could contact the person who uploaded the image." I am hereby doing so, and would appreciate it if you could confirm, or at least provide background, for the picture's public domain status and permission to reprint.

WikiProject Middle East Textbooks is looking for editors to create, expand, and maintain complete, accurate, and neutral articles on school textbooks used throughout the Middle East, with a focus on textbook controversies and textbook analyses. You can start by simply adding your name to the list of members at WikiProject Middle East Textbooks.

I am aware that blogging being an unregulated force, quotes from a blog do not constitute a validation for a viewpoint or be counted as a source for anything with a factual basis. In this specific case however I am using a remarkable peice of writing, that happens to appear on a blog, to illustrate the ways that the language is and can be used. In that context I do not feel that the fact it is written by a blogger in any way diminishes its validity and the point it makes.

Futhermore the piece that I have tried to use as a quote not only perfectly illustrates the point but it is the fact that it appears on a blog written by a chassidic jew (and we all know that they are a retiring community that do not often make their views plain to outsiders) that makes it all the more relevant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.66.110.45 (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is a user who is harassing, name-calling, and is generally being disruptive to many articles. She has been warned on numerous occasions and archives pages before you can reply to her incivility. This has finally gotten out of hand, and I would like to know what to do about this user. To find out the details, please see my talk page. I was willing to ignore her for quite some time and take her abuse. But it has ended up going too far in this case. Can you please help me, or at least show me how to go through the process of reporting users? Thank you very much.--Lan Di (talk) 23:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The arguments made by Lan Di have in some cases been laughed at (not by me) for being pointless and nonsense. The user is incredibly in-civil towards me by engaging in discussions which are solely to attack me such as on User Talk:Angelriver and User Talk:MiB-24. I find the user to be highly disruptive and in my opinion not familiar with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. The user had pushed me to the limit and I exploded in one go and only once, the user is just as to blame if not more to blame than I am.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would like to directly quote some of the comments made by Lan Di "All we have to do is attack her credibility". "I can also get my admin friend involved, as he likes me, and will help us out if I ask for it". "I will get my admin friend to slap her down extremely hard". "We really need your guys help in slapping her down again". These comments seem to show a pattern that Lan DI firstly has a disliking for me and secondly is going to make personal attacks and involve administrators to attempt to have me "slapped down". These comments are highly uncivil and do not focus on anything but me as a user.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And what about your comments to Lan Di which included calling him a "petty, ignorant, obsessed fan" as well as being uneducated and narrow minded? Civility works both ways, Lucy. You have a habit of incivility that started with me from my very first day here where you called me an "absolute wally", "stupid" and threatened to have me banned. Angelriver (talk) 00:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That is one individual comment and not a systematic and virtually continuous pattern. Here is not the place for Angelriver and I to discuss our differences that is for one of our individual talk pages.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree, Lucy. This is for our talk pages. Unfortunately though, you archive yours before rebuttals can be made. Angelriver (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you, IZAK (talk) 07:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You know i find extremely funny to read above such a cry for help on this topic here, while i was on the way to ask Humus sapiens why he used wikipedia as his tool for pushing what is looking like his pro-israeli and pro-zionist agenda (time to precise that i am neither an anti-israeli nor an anti-zionist)... I reviewed some of his articles creations ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Humus_sapiens/contribs ) before coming to this conclusion, by just having a look on how he reword sentences or piece of facts to reflect his POV in its initial edits, his purpose looks more than clear for anybody objective. Quoting dubious sources like palestinefacts.org from the Zionist Organization of America as if their were credible ones, while giving biased or distorted meanings to the actions or declarations of the other side of his POV, i.e. Palestinians if anybody more...

A random example: "In December 2004, he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction in interview to Iran's Al-Aram television station: "At this stage there will be two states. Many years from now, there will be only one... [There are] 300 million Arabs, while Israel has only the sea behind it." Khaddoumi said his platform was endorsed by the PLO in 1974. ([1])" [BTW another nice and objective source along others for an encyclopedia...] cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Farouk_Kaddoumi&diff=8987385&oldid=7480722

Now can you explain us how the quoted declaration -from a dubious source to say the least- of that guy Khaddoumi can be translated in your words into "he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction", all this while you are wearing your "Countering Systemic Bias" banner (sic) and are a Wikipedia administrator? ROFL. Poor Wikipedia, you used to be more than decent before being hijacked by people with an agenda and far too much spare time to propagate their biased POV... "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable", right. :rollingeyes: (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I happened to spot this whilse looking for another comment I left on your page almost a year ago (guess I'll check the page history to find it!) Anyway this comment looks like POV pushing. It attempts to discredit the source rather than exmaine the information (and MEMRI reference now is at least solid evidence the statements were made). That is means "he insisted that the Palestinian goal is Israel's destruction" is also clear. Looking at the account where this accusation came from, it has very few edits very spaced out. I'm not making an accusation, but I'd urge you to examine the users contribution and to draw your own conclusions if you haven't done so already. Sigh.

Hi Humus: My attention was drawn to the Talk:Hummus page, a dispute over your name-sake it seems, see Talk:Hummus#Hebrew/jewish/Israeli references and Talk:Hummus#RfC where some users are deploying the worst kind of blatant antisemitic and Anti-Zionist vitriol in violation of WP:HATE and WP:CIVIL, over a minor food article, yet, unbelievable.

Here is a new reference about Isaac Steinberg's Orthodox observance during his service in the early Lenin's government:

http://books.google.com/books?id=S0Ls8Z-Y89cC

(Read pp. 126-128, available in the Google preview)

It's a well known fact among the Yiddishist circles (to which I happen to belong). Steinberg's family, the former secretary of his New York office, and a number of other people can verify this information. Even the Russian poet Bunin mentioned in his memoirs "Окаянные дни" that Steinberg was religiously observant. Please don't delete my notion about Steinberg's Orthodoxy (or add it youself). The religious aspect of Steinberg's personality plays a significant role in his anti-Marxist version of socialism, close to Martin Buber's and Gustav Landauer's mystical anarchism. I believe, this fact is worth mentioning. Laplandian (talk) 14:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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).

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Palestinophilia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod)) notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author)) to the top of Palestinophilia.

Thanks for uploading Image:1938 Interior of Berlin synagogue after Kristallnacht.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The Judaism Newsletter Issue II -- Tammuz, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) Now with 200% more Jewishness! Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique. A Special Dispatch Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s]. There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views to weigh in. Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved. To Do The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list) [Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter. WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

The Judaism Newsletter Issue III -- Av, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) "Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, ((The Jewish Barnstar)) and ((The New Jewish Barnstar)), and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday. New Members Judaism: Arigont, Avi, CheskiChips, Pini00001, Shirulashem, TaliaNadel, Tyciol, yehoshuafriedla Jewish History: 5768altalena, AniMate, User:Yosef.garibaldi.gmail, Pinnecco, Shirulashem, Tyciol Kabbalah: Shuliavrumi New Articles Bezalel Rudinsky (thanks Shirulashem!}, Jewish tartan (thanks Briangotts!), Hebrew spelling (thanks Epson291) We get a lot of articles that are being created and not announced!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Beria timemag 1101530720 400.jpg.

Hi,

I found 2 articles about the same person. One article has a subset of the information in the second article, has a number of warnings about quality (and is frankly pretty badly written), and misspells the man's name. I redirected it to the other article.

You reverted the redirect (or at least you left me a message why the redirect was reverted).

Your message stated that maybe my edit summary was not descriptive enough. Here's what I put there: "Duplicate article. Redirected to more complete version (basically a superset of the content here)."

Here's the article that I redirected to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzchak_Dovid_Grossman Here's the article that I redirected: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Grossman

What is the appropriate action? Now we have 2 articles about the same man again. Is that a good situation?

Thanks for uploading File:Vgrossman1.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.

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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC).

Hello Humus sapiens! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,700 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the ((unreferencedBLP)) tag. Here is the list:

1. Cesare De Michelis - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Criticism of Judaism. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Judaism (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi,
I assume you are busy sysopping, but I had a question about a photo you set up ages ago.

[[File:Andrei Sinyavsky.jpg]]

I'm fairly new to these photo copyright issues.

The purpose of the image is to illustrate the article, Andrei Sinyavsky. The use of the image to illustrate such article(s) is considered fair use by US law because:

There is no free equivalent of the image, that can illustrate the article the same way.

The image is used in a minimal amount of articles.

The image will only be used for encyclopedic purposes.

The use of the image will increase the reader's understanding of the article significantly. The use of the fair use image in Andrei Sinyavsky is for identification of the photograph.

The image will be only used in the article(s) abovementioned.

I would like to put this author photo here:
List of Russian language novelists

Hence, "minimal number" of articles, "increase understanding", and so on.

Can the allowable article list not be expanded to include the list of novelists?

Thank you for uploading File:1938 Interior of Berlin synagogue after Kristallnacht.jpg. 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. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. 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 within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear sir,

I could not find your argument for the deletion of the "Later Jewish persecution of Christians" section of Persecution of Christians, done, if I am not wrong, the 29 May 2007. I can figure some reasons but I don't find them sufficient to imply a complete deletion. Besides is such an important move without rationale good practice? As I make training sessions about Wikipedia and its possible use in education, I would be very interested by your explanation or complementary information and thankful.

The article Cesare De Michelis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP. Makes no claim of notability, provides no context.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Himmler to Mufti telegram 1943.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Leon Pinsker.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add ((OTRS pending)) to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 06:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I put up an entry on this webpage and a user is deleting it for no reason. She isn't discussing the reasons why on the discussion board but putting up useless comments about how she "likes socks". Well, the category is for the individual's religion. She is an atheist. The categories are there to guide the encyclopaedia to provide information to the public. This allows people to reference categories. Particularly relevant in politics. Among a number of things is to allow people to do searches. I found this entry because of listening to the radio and there is a religion in politics debate. I wanted to know who is an atheist in the debate and who is religious. Also Euthanasia is a big issue and as health minister it is good to know what religion she is. It only adds to the encyclopaedia not detracting from it. Look at the entries for politics around the world. Religion is a big thing in Australian politics. Incogfrig (talk) 13:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

אך היא ברזולוציה שאיננה מספיקה לפרסום.

Thank you for uploading File:Iudaism bez prikras 63-7.gif. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the ((di-fails NFCC)) tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely.

A tag has been placed on Sergey Kovalev requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

Thank you for uploading File:Masoleum-gorky kaganovich molotov voroshilov stalin kalinin.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Maabarah children.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text ((di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>)) below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 06:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar

Thanks for uploading File:PalestinePost Israel is born.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:10, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
