[edit] Hello
Nice to see a fellow Syrian around here. Yuber(talk) 01:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, that 1980's picture is going to scare the ajaneb away. I think it should just be removed for now until a better one can be found. As for the cafes/leisure, the Damascus article could use a lot more of non-historical information of that type. I haven't been back in 2 years myself, but when I was there I noticed a revival of the Old City, especially with the renovating of old houses into restaurants.

[edit] Image:Apamea.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Apamea.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Peter O. (Talk) 05:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
