[edit] The pain of the inscrutably removed ˤayn

Is there some reason you took out the ˤayns in Šāfiˤī and replaced them with glottal stops (alifs)? Seems silly to have it spelled wrong, especially when the ˤayns are so readily available. em zilch 22:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please add categories!

Hi! I see you are creating a lot of stubs on towns in Chechnya. That's good, but will you please add at least two categories to all these articles: [[Category:Chechnya]] and [[Category:Cities and towns in Russia]]. It is of great importance. Thank you. --Anthony Ivanoff 19:06, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:H0000001.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:H0000001.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 1% for major edits and 23% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 88 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 05:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

==Please Use Edit Summaries==

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Map of India removed

Rohillas were Pashtun tribes from regions in Afghanistan and Pakistan and settled and created empire in Rohilkhand region of modern Uttar Pradesh, India. The map should include all mentioned regions.

[edit] Block Situation

Blocks to AOL IP addresses specifically are usually fairly short but necessary to stop vandalism etc. Autoblocks are different and are normally released as soon as we realise that they are affecting AOL users (we have no way of telling who is/isn't an AOL user). Therefore if the block message you receive contains the detail this it is an Autoblock it is essential you give us that information (and the detail of the block message), without it we can't do anything. --pgk^(talk) 11:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:M 12.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:M 12.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. --Hetar 05:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic

Hello,

My name is Chris Brennan. I'm in the process of trying to learn Arabic right now and I'm looking for someone that can maybe give me some advice based on their own experience in learning the language. Right now the only book that I have is Awde & Samano's The Arabic Alphabet, and I'm currently looking around for a decent textbook that I can use for self study, but I seem to be getting mixed reviews for almost every book that I'm looking at and I'm not sure what would be the best choice for what I would like to do. My original intent was to learn Classical Arabic, but I'm starting to realize that resources on learning Classical Arabic are much more scarce and it would make the process much more difficult to start there. So then I was thinking that perhaps I could start with Modern Standard Arabic and then once I had a decent grasp of that it wouldn't be such a big leap to get to Classical Arabic. I'm unsure as to how divergent MSA is from Classical Arabic though, so I'm not sure if that is a viable route to go, and I'm still not sure which text book to go with. Do you have any advice? I would really appreciate it. --Chris Brennan 08:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link to bosnian

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something Bosnian, please do not link to Bosnian, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Bosnia (region) or Bosnia and Herzegovina by writing out [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnian]].
