Copyright conflict with Ishraq3?

Hi there, I see that a copyright tag has been placed on the Ishraq3 image. I had forgotten to mention that that image is actually from the Bahá'í Library, which is hosted by the Universal House of Justice - if I'm not mistaken - the images from which require no copyright in order to employ for personal or public use. However, I don't know how to revert the copyright violation tag that's been set on it. How can this be done? Thanks in advance. --User:AdibMasumian

Baha'is of Afghanistan

The Baha'is of Afghanistan is merged under Baha'i Statistics, I think it deserves a separate page because more information is emerging about it. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unknown Master (talk • contribs) 02:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Life on other planets

I felt that my wording was fine, but I think your modification is fair. I opted to split the baby in half, so to speak, but you put it up for adoption. Either is fine by me. Regards, Mavaddat (talk) 04:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

You didn't smile?

at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.140.104 (talk) 20:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

List of Bahá'ís

Per Talk:Bahá'í Faith#List of Baha'is I've reverted the mass edit out and commented that the as a general statement all these entries are sourced on their respective pages. I don't see any rule they must be sourced on the lists itself. I don't see any discussion of this issue on the referenced Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of Christians (2nd nomination)--Smkolins (talk) 12:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

United Nations member states?? No or almost no citations there.Smkolins (talk) 12:14, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Category:Lists of countries?? yes meet policy and keep things right but I think this would simply remove lists in general as things like this would always require double entry. Why should categories be exempt - it's just code at bottom of a page. I see a few of lists of countries have been flagged with unsourced notes but is this really what Misplaced Pages wants? And has no one observed if sourcing is on the referenced page - no one has talked about it at all?--Smkolins (talk) 12:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the CIA disambiguation

Glad to know someone is reading, and you did something very appropriate. I'll be checking the other articles to be sure I don't make the same mistake there.

Any comments are welcome; there have been a lot of touchy people involved in editing here, and I'd enjoy hearing constructive suggestions about content rather than ideological indignation.

school categories

Various Baha'i schools are listed throughout the Category:International schools and per school by country but I wonder if there should be a Category:Schools by religious affiliation section for specifically Baha'i schools - (either by ownership or by curriculum). I don't know how to create a category.... or perhaps more of a move from a "education by religious affiliation" to "schools by religious affiliation"--Smkolins (talk) 04:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

back to using the F for Faith?

I missed that coming back and welcome it. So are we free to really use the capital f as part of the name again - is there something we should site per Misplaced Pages to show it's right?--Smkolins (talk) 06:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm - does that mean renaming Bahá'í faith in Australia?--Smkolins (talk) 14:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

referencing

Let me know what you think of Template:Harvnb. See note 6 on Hinduism. I think this will be useful to use on pages where the same source is quoted from different pages, and it will also remove some of the clutter in the text when editing. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 02:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I made a test page to mess around with the referencing. I think it works much better than what we use now. Check out User_talk:Cuñado/archive1. The first two notes are different pages of the same book, and the third note was a test to see which templates can be linked from a harvard reference. For example, the cite book template does not create an name anchor <a name="author"> but the citation template does. We'll have to change the references to the citation template, which I think is no big deal. We could also get all the citation templates to add a name anchor. I'm going to start making some changes on pages. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 21:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

re:Opinion of editors

Sorry, but I don't have the time currently (at least not for a few weeks) to look into this matter throughly. I strongly suggest you use the dispute resolution process if he continues to revert/add his favored addition of the article, or ask another administrator on this matter. Some helpful admins are located here if you wish to go for the latter option. Sorry if I'm not very helpful, but I am busy with personal issues lately. — DarkFalls 06:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Arbitration on Dominion issue

I've made an arbitration case on the nagging Dominion issue on Canada and related pages. I'm flummoxed. There might be a need for you to comment. Thanks. --Soulscanner (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for intervening. I'm not going ask you to post again, but could I ask you to contact other editors who may have been involved in mediation efforts or requests? --Soulscanner (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Your help on the Munirih Khanum page was greatly appreciated. Peter Deer (talk) 16:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense

Where did I add nonsense to Misplaced Pages? --79.210.113.178 (talk) 14:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to say that: Sometimes even a "long-lasting consensus" might be "nonsense". --79.210.113.178 (talk) 15:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Re Basque Country in Txalaparta

I reverted your link change. I'm not referring to the autonomous community, which represents an irrelevant administrative boundary to this topic, but tothe social and cultural reality of the Basque Country, where txalaparta schools spread. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iñaki LL (talk • contribs) 18:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't place tag on again

I'm filing an incident report. The both know that it violates Wiki policy to remove these tags. I don't want to get the page locked. We already got the Dominion page locked that way. Let the Administrastors deal with Quizimodo and G2bambino.
