Siye abraha article - "THE ERITREAN QUESTION: AFARS AND ASSEB"

TO Gyrofrog

"By 2001 however Ethiopia, having in effect won the war with Eritrea, had regained this all-important strip of territory. Seeye wanted, for obvious reasons, to retain it; or at least to negotiate guaranteed rights of access to the sea"

How is the above sentence correct actually it was eritrea who was militarily in a stronger position.

Furtheremore its highly offensive it dismiss the United Nations Observer Mission to Verify the Referendum in Eritrea. Eritreans had a Referendum and 99.79% voted for indepedence.

The quoted comment from the Siye abraha article is factally wrong and lacks considerations for FACTS.

Please can you delete "THE ERITREAN QUESTION: AFARS AND ASSEB" article because it questions the soverign state of eritrea this is highly offensive.

Fair use rationale for Image:PeterGabriel1980CdCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PeterGabriel1980CdCover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 08:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Template_talk:WPBiography#Workgroup_parameters

I've answered an old comment of yours at Template_talk:WPBiography#Workgroup_parameters. --kingboyk (talk) 21:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help and clarification. -- Gyrofrog 04:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

What do you have against ebay? Just kidding. That was a typo, thank you for pointing it out, lol. I have no idea how that got inserted, but it's a funny mistake.--Octavian history (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Seeking Help!

I’m once again asking help from Wiki administrators in regards to the Nur Ali Elahi article. Octavian history, who recently began using this account name instead of Persian history after archiving all of the past history and information related to Persian History in a poorly veiled attempt to conceal all the different sockpuppet banners that were posted on that account, has repeatedly been disrupting and vandalizing this article while ironically accusing others of doing so.

It is clear from this user’s edits that his/her motive is not to improve or expand this article but only to disagree with other people and to undo the work of others. I’ve explained this further on the Nur Ali Elahi Discussion Page.

Global.wiki (talk) 20:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Gyro, read the explanation I just wrote on the Nur Ali Elahi talk page.--Octavian history (talk) 09:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Gyro my Wiki Stalker

You have a history of changing things you should not change. There is absolutely no valid citation listed for 80% of the false information the person wrote on the Nur Ali Elahi page. This will be the last warning I will give you to stop stalking me or I will make an official "Requests for arbitration" to have your admin taken away. You have a very long history of picking on me and others and making accusations that are not true.

If you look at my history, you will immediately notice that I have made over a 1000 constructive edits and created many new topics of great interest with factual citations. Global.wiki and Fhariri appear to be two fanatics who have never made any contributions to wiki except to the one article. Instead of making contributions to wikipedia, they have spent 80% of there energy making personal attacks against me and writing absolute gibberish (about me). I will not waste my time with an individual who wants to make a career out of personal attacks. The Ostad Elahi Foundation is a VERY dangerous cult and has been accused of many crimes in France.

Read this again Gyro, as to why I deleted that section.

1. He had all the spellings of the names wrong. (Amatu fixed it, thanks)

2. He had a lot of misinformation which is absolutely not true.

3. Many of the citations are incorrect, erroneous and false. For example citation number 22 is a false citation for the name Fatollah. It is out of context. Citation number 23 is also erroneous, no such info in the book. Most of the citations are false

4. A large part of it taken out of dictionary to explain the definition of Ostad and Hazrat in Persian. That is not the place to define words. Anyone can pickup a Persian dictionary.

5. Many POVs--Octavian history (talk) 12:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The Nur Ali Elahi article has been on my watchlist for a while. I saw another dispute over content and thought I would weigh in. -- Gyrofrog 13:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion for The Other Nite Show

Hi, I'd like to request you delete The Other Nite Show. It is a non notable community radio show from a minor AM station (and therfore not notable, if you don't delete it any other Australian community radio show could put up a page. Cheers, Ryan. 122.148.64.45 (talk) 12:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
