[edit] License tagging for Image:Haigazian University logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Haigazian University logo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you.

[edit] New article

Thank you for your contribution, and creating the new article Breakfast to Breakfast. Please see the notability guidelines for companies, and make clear in the article how this companies is notable. If this company is not shown to be notable it may be deleted. Jon513 15:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need to have correct copyrights

Image:AUB old college.jpg, Image:American University of Beirut.jpg, etc. that you have uploaded do not seem to be Logos. They appear more to be photos. They will eventually get deleted if you don't specify correct copyrights. Photos that are safe to use are (1) photos you take yourself, (2) photos were you have permission from the person that took the photo and (3) photos you find are US government websites. There are others like logos but these are obviously not logos. --MarsRover 20:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos for your African restaurant contributions!

Thanks a lot for your contributions! I've been meaning to come back and add more to Mr Biggs and other restaurant articles, but you've beat me to it and have done a great job! Rjhatl 15:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Halal Dichotomy

Hello! I just saw your change on the Halal article, changing the parallel to Judaism from using the word "kosher" to "kashrut". I am reverting this change back to kosher, because that is the accurate term. Kashrut is the name of the Jewish laws, while kosher is derived from a word that means "fit", very much like halal.Starwarp2k2 05:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Thanks for the info. I was still trying to master the differences between those terms, ever since I was transfered to the Kashrut article while clicking on the Kosher link through Nando's. But I guess I did the wrong thing there.

[edit] inappropriate interwiki links

Hello, I've noticed that you've been adding many interwiki links to entries that do not exist. I've been reverting these in a few cases, only to have you readd them. Please see Wikipedia:Interlanguage_links#Links_to_pages_that_do_not_exist. Thanks. f(x)=ax2+bx+c 00:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello? You're still doing this. f(x)=ax2+bx+c 18:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: About Islam's template

consensus means to obtain general agreement on the issue with other wiki editors (i.e. everyone agrees to the suggested change. see WP:CON). with regards to the template image, i think the mosque image is o.k, as it is described as the bayt allāh and traditionally has significant importance in islam as the social and religious center of the muslim community. i don't really mind though, but this topic is best discussed on the template talk page. thanks. ITAQALLAH 16:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the description of consensus. Guess I'm still learning much in the Islamic life. :) I kinda like the green and orange color though -- just for the Ramadan make-over; nothing bigger than that. However, we may have problems adjusting the background color with the mosque or with the "Allah" calligraphy. I made a minor test with Microsoft Paint (R) :S - Qasamaan 19:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chuba Okadigbo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chuba Okadigbo.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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.

[edit] MBC channels

Hey there, I reverted your edits to the MBC 2, MBC 3, and MBC 4 articles. These names are English, not Anglicized, so the Arabic script is not supposed to be added. All the best my friend. ↔ ANAS - Talk 17:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sami Yusuf.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sami Yusuf.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 18:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Maghen Avraham Synagogue.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Maghen Avraham Synagogue.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. -- tariqabjotu 22:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello tariqabjotu. I added the source of the image. Let me know what else needs to be fixed asap. But thanks for the info. - Qasamaan 08:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
