Speedy deletion nomination of Faerie's aire and death waltz

A tag has been placed on Faerie's aire and death waltz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — ] (talk · contribs) 18:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Libyan woman.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Libyan woman.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:12, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Everything in the article is cited to reliable sources and is directly related to the notability of the individual. Removal of such information is considered a violation of Misplaced Pages's policies WP:NPOV. If you have issues with specific statements in the article that you believe are not in accordance with Misplaced Pages policies, please bring them up on the talk page. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 02:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I have responded on my talk page to keep the conversation in one place. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Amen

The word certainly has Aramaic connections, but unfortunately for you, the idea that the word as it is used in the Jewish Bible has equal and parallel Aramaic and Hebrew origins is not very credible, while the idea that the Arabic language had significant direct influence on Biblical Hebrew religious terminology is laughable. If people who know more about the details of a subject than you do are telling you that something is not accurate or helpful, then that's usually a useful warning sign.

Good work

Those of us who no longer have the time to bring some objectivity to articles on Islamic topics appreciate those of you who do have the time, and use it wisely. Keep up the good work. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

June 2012

Your recent editing history at Wahhabi shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. David 02:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks I realise this hence why I am making a new section on the Talk page to prevent this continuing. My reversions were intended to enforce WP:NPOV as there was consistant violations from Organometalic1 regarding his edits which User talk:Mark Arsten is also concerned about. Thanks very much Sakimonk (talk) 02:32, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

• Be careful about 3RR, some admins are very strict about it, others will be more understanding. So the user came right back and started again after his block expired? It might be a good idea to directly contact the blocking admin in this case in lieu of filing another 3RR report, although that's not a bad idea either. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Wang Zi Ping2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wang Zi Ping2.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Athari Edit

Sakimonk, i think your wrong in asserting that I vandalised the athari page. I created the page, which was vandalised by others who clearly (prob like yourself) have assumed wahhabs views are also athari - they are clearly NOT - and at best you should have objectively stated that this is disputed. It seems like there a concerted campaign from misinformed individuals to assert this incorrect info onto wiki. Sad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivegoturnumber (talk • contribs) 22:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Lady Godiva (song)

It makes perfect sense to merge them. The Alex Day is a cover. They do sound alike, don't they? --Smartie2thaMaxXx (talk) 22:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

"Perfect sense" to you is not the same for me. Please understand that Misplaced Pages is impartial and covers and originals are not one and the same. Sakimonk (talk) 01:04, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I had commented on the talk page for Lady Godiva (song), but apparently you did not see it. Consensus on Misplaced Pages has determined that originals and covers of the same song should not be split into separate articles. Please read WP:SONGS where it says: "When a song has renditions (recorded or performed) by more than one artist, discussion of a particular artist's rendition should be included in the song's article (never in a separate article)". See Without You (Badfinger song) and Kansas City (Leiber and Stoller song) as examples. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars 06:55, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

This discussion has been taken to the appropriate WikiProject at WT:SONGS#Lady Godiva. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars 10:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

And further to the above conversation I have re-merged the two articles. Not sure there was anything to discuss. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for the barnstar. I couldn't believe that the same user was back so quickly. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:31, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

That's what you call perseverance I guess! It's a shame it wasn't put to much good :) Sakimonk (talk) 04:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Blocked and the page is semi-protected. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 03:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Great news, thanks very much for being so prompt. Sakimonk (talk) 03:25, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Politicized Disruptive Edit claim

Sakimonk, you replaced dates in an article with an incoherent mess of "CE" and "AH" dates which would lead to persons being born around 700CE and dying around 760AH. That is well over 700 years old. When I reverted this, you got very angry and posted that I am being disruptive. I understand that you are biased and have personal, political interest in replacing commonly-accepted dating with Islamic dating, but that is no excuse for factual error and animus when you are called out on it. Please do not disrupt anymore. 184.77.173.64 (talk) 14:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

To be clear, even Abu Hanifah's page says he died in 148 AH, or 767 AD. So please read that page before you start going crazy and claiming I am being disruptive.

Thank you, your recent corrections, while still censoring out important information, is at least now mathematically correct. 184.77.173.64 (talk) 19:50, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

following my edits is against wiki policies

do you understand? Baboon43 (talk) 02:29, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Baboon43 (talk) 20:42, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Al-Ahbash. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SudoGhost 23:39, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Retirement

Well I'm sorry to see you go but it is certainly understandable. Being at university and working in a contentious area is not the kind of stress you need. I hope that sometime you will be able to return. Good luck with your studies. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 15:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Neutral point of view noticeboard discussion

Hello, Sakimonk. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Al-Ahbash. Thank you. -- McKhan (talk)

You will be missed. MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

You are more than welcome to help with Ahbashism_campaign as Baboon43 (talk · contribs) keep on pushing his Al-Ahbash POVs on all the Al-Ahbash related pages. Thank you. McKhan (talk)

File source problem with File:Wang Zi Ping2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Wang Zi Ping2.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 Misplaced Pages. 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:28, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits on Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais

Hello. You removed large sections of text which were properly sourced and cited, and which directly relate to the subject's notability—especially as it relates to the Enlish-language WIkipedia project. Please review the five pillars of Misplaced Pages, especially those that relate to the point-of-view from which articles need to be written and the prohibition against original research. Subsequent violations of Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines may require measures to be taken to protect the integrity of the project. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 19:12, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Please be careful, you appear to be starting an edit war on Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais. Please respond to my explanation of why your edits are incorrect on the talk page before blindly reverting again. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 19:25, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Attention requested on Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais regarding the edits of User:Sakimonk. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 19:55, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Please note that continued edit-warring will get you blocked. Please stop edit-warring, go to the talk page of the article and discuss the issue refraining from personal attacks.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Sectarianism

Salafi is not a sect but Barelvi is? What is this "Salafism" you speak of? following quran and sunnah? "pure islam" "just muslim" "no innovation". The truth is Salafism is a sect that disguises itself as a pure form of Islam. These clever tactics have been successful in infiltrating sunni islam. Are you the judge to say qadiyani is not islam through your edits? You are only half right when you say Al-Sudais follows hanbali. The saudis follow Salafism and Hanbalism. keep the sect bias off articles. Misdemenor (talk) 20:30, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
