Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:26, 29 October 2007

Thanks! Thank you to everyone for voicing your opinion in my RfA. I do not wish to spam everyone's talk page (especially since it's a belated thanks as my net connection decided to die on me at the crucial moment). It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them! Regards, AA. 12:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar For Biman Bangladesh Airlines. It really flew like a breeze through the FA process. I haven't seen any article this prepared before going into FAC. Wow! Aditya 02:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
The Barnstar of National Merit Biman Bangladesh Airlines brings the number of FA class Bangladeshi articles to a full dozen. Great work. Aditya 02:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar Thanks to your suggestion, I have now fixed the problem. I am not getting all the details in the messagebox, but perhaps that was unnecessary details. I'm happy to go with what I've got now. By the way, congratulations for FA on Biman. Arman 03:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 26 September, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alpin (supplement), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Carabinieri 13:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi could you expand Prothom Alo thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 15:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. → AA — 15:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

ok boss! I'll add a picture tomorrow. Was thinking about expanding Prothom Alo for a while. Glad that you want to help as well. Tell me what to do. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 18:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Fatima

Salam alaykum. Masha Allah you've taken numerous bransters.

By the way. I want to review Fatima. I should remined you all of the article which I had reviewed had failed. I hope this article pass. I paid close attention to the details and found that minor edition should be done. I put hold tag on the article and explain the points on the talk page. Then I ask other editors to help with it. By the way I eager to see a good article about my mother. Jazak Allah Khayr.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 09:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

wa-alaikum as-salaam, I appreciate you reviewing this. I look forward to the review comments. → AA — 09:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

You can check my former reviews in Talk:Al-Manar, Talk:Al-Farabi and so on. I may have conflict of intrest in all of them but I did my best to be a good reviewer.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 17:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I added some comments for you in the talk pages and mentioned several pages of MaDELUNG'S BOOK which we can use.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 16:24, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I wish you've believe that I really want to make a good article and you have a really hard work.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 13:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I have no doubt we are working towards the same goal - i.e. GA status for the article. I apologies if any of my comments have caused you upset - it was not my intention. My primary goals (following the issue with User:Klaksonn) is to ensure the article is NPOV and to not prejudice the good work on the article by using partisan/polemic sources (from either side). → AA — 13:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Although the article has improved during last week but it hasn't reached GA criteria. I want to declare failing if you agree.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 07:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Yep - agree. It has failed this time but looking promising that next time it will pass. → AA — 17:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

En Sha Allah.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 17:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

List of cities and towns in Bangladesh

Can you create table for the page with space for Name, Population, Area, Established and anything else you think should be there? Since this is not a dynamic list, we can strive to make this the first featured list on Bangladesh. If you create an empty table, I can definitely fill in the empty spaces with the latest census data. Thank you. Aditya 11:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. I've added division and district as two additional items and the table is sortable so it will be possible to make use of these. → AA — 11:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

"participants" vs. "members"

It's not non-standard, it's the result of a disagreement. A number of us have tried to get consensus on choosing either participants or members, but there have been vociferous argument of proponents of both sides. So for right now, both members and participants are the "correct" form.--Mike Selinker 16:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Fatimah rewrite

I'm really interested in doing a rewrite incorporating all your other major information in. It would at least double, if not triple the length. Would that be permissible, or is it already in the works from your end? Thank you. --Enzuru 20:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Mediagenix whatson page deleted

Hello, I would like some help in how to write an article about the company I am working (living :^) ) for. Inspired about the article on adobe captivate http://en.wikipedia.org/Captivate and the article on our competitor from france. http://fr.wikipedia.org/Progiciel_Louise

So I write an initial article which I agree is pure commercial and inspired by our marketing material, so your evaluation is correct that it is advertising. But I do not see the diference with the above mentioned articles. Our system is used in over 18 countries for 20 big broadcasters with about 3400 user, so I think that we must have something enceclopedia worthy. But before attempting to submit a new descriptions which I will put some more effert into, I would like to understand more what your objection was especially compared to the two above mentioned articles.

No hard feelings, but very novice wikipedia contributor

Help concerning image licensing

Hello Please help me choosing the correct license for the Image Image:QMH_stamp.jpg. Best wishes.→Farhan nasim 06:40, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your family a blessed Eid.

Your friendly neighborhood Muslim.

If you object to the above message, please remove it, accept my apologies and notify me on my talk page.

Good job

You've had the dubious pleasure recently of deleting pages I've tagged as speedy candidates. Just popped by to say that I think your habit of warning creators of attack pages after you've deleted the article is an excellent idea, and one that more administrators should copy. Regards, Bencherlite 09:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I do check to see if a warning has been given to decide on appropriate action based on edits since the warning. You can add an appropriate warning at the time of tagging also if using {{subst:attack|ARTICLE}} or on one of the {{uw-create1}} type warnings. → AA — 21:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I CSD tag using Twinkle, which automatically notifies the creator of the nomination anyway (but doesn't issue a warning, which is perhaps a shame); I sometimes add a {{uw-create2}} warning (or higher) as well when I check the creator's talk page if they've done it before. I'll remember {{attack|ARTICLE}} for the future. Bencherlite 22:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Deleting Julia Page

Thank you for deleting the Julia article yesterday. I was showing her how wiki works and we where going to delete the article when finished. You did that for us so thank you. We understand that personal articles are not permitted, and so like I said we where going to delete it when finished. Thank you --Greenwood1010 13:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

No problems. You can perform tests in a Sandbox within your userspace (e.g. by creating a page called User:Greenwood1010/Sandbox) as article space should not be used for testing. However, even then I would advise against adding anything that could be seen as defaming or attacking another person since there are very strict conditions governed by the policy on Biographies of living persons. Happy editing and if you have any queries, feel free to ask here. → AA — 22:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

copyedit

May be it's too late for a DYK entry but you can still work out some copyediting at Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. Regards, hope you have enjoyed your Eid. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 18:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

no, no. it's not too late yet :) :) Dwaipayan da helped a bit. May be you can add a bit too. You can propose a better hook than the current one as well..Tarif from Bangladesh 18:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Phyllis Santiago

An article that you have been involved in editing, Phyllis Santiago, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Phyllis Santiago SPAs have apparently removed your {{prod}} tag and the {{db-bio}} tag that I previously placed on the article. Thank you. Toddstreat1 16:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I saw your note in the log and realized that she didn't remove the {{db-bio}} tag. Taking it to AfD as you suggested. Gotta correct my previous statement. 8-)Toddstreat1 18:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Niaz_bd became Niaz

This is a common message from Niaz

Fellow Wikipedians,

This is to notify you that recently I have changed my username (through userpatation) to an appropriate one and from now you'll recognize me as Niaz instead of Niaz_bd.

Kind regards,

I READ THE GUIDELINES...PLEASE HELP

Hello AA,

I read the guidelines for article submission. I am new at this.

You placed a speedy deletion on my first article...UTM the Magazine or Unsigned The Magazine.

As a regular person off of the streets, I found this magazine at a resturant and it was free. I thought this is interesting.

However, I use Misplaced Pages alot to get more information on things that sometimes can't be found with just a regular search. So, I thought I would registrar with Misplaced Pages and try to submitt an article about this magazine cause I thought others might come across it or hear about it and try to google it to see what all they could find out about this magazine.

How can I improve what little I have been able to find out and make it worthy of Misplaced Pages? Please help.

Sincerely Iseetomorrow

Hello Iseetomorrow, welcome again to Misplaced Pages. In order to create an article on any subject/product/company etc. we first have to ensure the topic is notable and verifiable. If the magazine is well known, then you should be able to find some reliable sources to reference the topic. However, if the magazine is not notable, then I'm afraid the policies do not permit an article on it. If you need any further clarification, do not hesitate to ask. Cheers. → AA — 15:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank YOU...

Hello AA and thank you for your assistance. I will try to improve this article. I'm not sure I understand Notibility and the references guidelines. Do you mean other sources about this magazine that can be found online?

Please help again...I am a novice at this as you can tell :)

sincerely Iseetomorrow 16:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC) iseetomorrow

Yes - if other sources (doesn't necessarily have to be online - it can be in books, newspapers or journals) have discussed this magazine, then we would say it's notable. Google Books/News/Scholar can be a good starting point to find references online. → AA — 16:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Wrong License in Image Ming Freeman

Dear Fellow,
Recently I have uploaded a photo of musician Ming Freeman (Ming_freeman.jpg). He has permitted to use the image in the following condition:It will not be cropped or altered in any way. But I have chosen the GFDL license for that. I am not certain whether this condition applies to the GFDL license. Please choose the appropriate license for the image.→Farhan nasim 05:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Farhan, images uploaded to Misplaced Pages cannot have any conditions attached to them. They must be licensed such that derivative works (cropping etc) can be created. Essentially, all rights are relinquised but see section 4 of the GFDL for full details. So, if you believe this condition cannot be waived, I would suggest tagging the image for deletion. For the moment, I have tagged it appropriately and you have a few days to resolve the situation. Regards. → AA — 07:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Royal bengal airline livery.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Royal bengal airline livery.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages 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. BetacommandBot 15:41, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

You were totally incorrect in your deletion of the moblog:UK entry, it cited instances where it's relevance in the field of mobile blogging was incredibly relevant, I'm going to re-instate from the last deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Al4ie (talk • contribs) 10:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Sunni view about Mahdi

Salam Alaykum,

I found that Mahdi#Divergent views among Sunnis is weak and it needs some reliable sources. I put a comment on its talk page and introduced some sources. I can help you with more sources.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 13:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Toolserver database lag

In case you haven't noticed yet, the lag of the toolserver database seems to be under control again (~7 hours at the moment), so the shortpages tool should be usable again. I haven't had much time for Misplaced Pages in the last few weeks, unfortunately, and haven't been able to revive the old bot in the end; sorry about that. If I manage to find more time soon, I'll try to modify the script so that it falls back on the old bot's code if the toolserver is behind. Hope I'll be able to do this before the next big lag ! Cheers, Schutz 20:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I did notice it was coming down and hopefully it will be back to near-zero soon. I had managed to move to the otherside of the fence with my new admin tools, so was busy anyway :) It would be worth putting the backup system in place as you've mentioned in case the problem shows itself again. Cheers. → AA — 22:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

utm magazine...notibility

thank you again AA...i have sensed learned that the featured music artists on the cover of their first inprint magazine have been nominated for a grammy award in three catagories...would that be considered notable? and i have also found other sources about them online. can those be used as references? since they appear to be a new magazine will there be information on them in other magazine journals?Iseetomorrow 17:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. What we need to look for is that the magazine itself is notable. If it printed stories about notable artists, that would not make the magazine notable. If there are any other sources which refer to UTM Magazine, then potentially we could use that. However, in my quick trawl through google, I could not find any relevant links. Generally, anything that is notable will have at least a few links on google. I commend your efforts in this and if you have any further queries, feel free to ask. Happy to help where I can. Cheers. → AA — 22:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks so much for deleting my page. It was an attempt for some fun in Misplaced Pages but you administrators just have to delete it. I even put hang on but you still deleted it. I will now tell everyone that Misplaced Pages is wrong and don't try and create a site, because the selfish administrators with their own useless pages, will just delete them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camoq (talk • contribs)
