[edit] Banū Mūsā

Trick devices was a very poor article title since it was actually a bio about three brothers and two of their inventions. I have moved it to User:Alhazin/sandbox. We already have an article about Banū Mūsā which links to other articles about their inventions. I suggest you read these thoroughly and improve them before you create any new articles in this area.

Other points to note: a) learn how to do references, b) do not create "blind" links such as [1] and c) make links specific, eg. this page not just the whole site. Also, have you checked whether we have other articles on the subject of Muslim universities - I suspect we do. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 16:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of MUSLIM EXPLORERS

A tag has been placed on MUSLIM EXPLORERS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Asenine  12:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Muslim Pharmacology

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Muslim Pharmacology, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? andy (talk) 14:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Muslim hydraulic engineering

Hi,

Please see my comments in Talk:Muslim hydraulic engineering re. copyright release issues.

Thanks, --  Chzz  ►  07:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Please also look at the ways that I have changed the references. It's best not to use "Ibid" in Wikipedia; instead, you can link multiple statements to the same footnote by using "name=". Leave me a note if you'd like advice on this. Please also put the <ref></ref> after the punctuation, e.g. comma or full stop, like this.[0] - Fayenatic (talk) 22:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
