[edit] Userbox:Coptic

I have moved your page Userbox:Coptic to Template:user Coptic and tagged the original for speedy deletion. Userboxes belong in the template namespace, not the article namespace. Thanks, —Swpb talk contribs 05:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:SaintVerena.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SaintVerena.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 19:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Excuse my insisting, but the picture comes from a website which states “Andrew Fanous, all rights reserved”. Are you Andrew Fanous? If so, you should mention it explicitly to avoid any abiguity. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 10:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your prompt answer. I have completed the description of Image:SaintVerena.jpg accordingly. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 17:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copts

Hi! Finnaly I have a chance to meet a true Copt on Wiki. Can you please review [[1]]. My version was numerousely removed by Arab users. Thanks, Regards Ldingley 21:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Dear Coptic brother, I completely agree with you on Ethiopian and Eritrean issue. I think we should remove that passage in the introduction. As for why did Arabs attack my version. First of all, did you see info box on my version? Its specifically designed for separate ethnic groups. Based on research and sources I wanted to create the ethnic info box for Copts due to the simple fact that Copts are a separate nation from rest of Arab Egyptians. Secondly, they objected to the notion that Copts of today are direct descendants of ancient Egyptians. After studying the language and culture of the Copts there is no doubt of that. But their main objection was when i created that infobox with photos of the famous Copts. They want to downplay this fact of Coptic identity. I was outnumbered and my changes were removed. I did get some help from some Georgian users but in vain. Please make all necessary changes and fix any POVs you might find on the Copts article if your time will allow. Also I have a very interesting collection of historic and modern photos of Copt country and its people. I travelled there a while ago. Let me know if you are interested and I will email you my whole collection of Coptic images (some of them are very rare). Thanks for your massage and wishing you all the best.

[edit] Nabih Youssef

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Nabih Youssef, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Nabih Youssef. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

  • I don't quite care, I didn't put the article on Wikipedia. Maybe you can notify the people who wrote or edited it then have a voting and go with what the majority decides. Thanks - Lant
You did, at some point, edit the article, so I included you among the people I notified. If anyone objects, I'll probably take the article to an AfD; otherwise, I'll let an admin delete it in 5 (or whatever) days. Argyriou (talk) 04:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
