[edit] Image:FloydThompson.jpg

Hi, I apreciate the fact that you have gotten permission to use the image on Wikipedia, but the problem here is that Wikipedia only accept free content, and having an exclusive permission to use something only on Wikipedia does not make it free content, this was explained on the notice that where put on the image when you uploaded it (please let us know how that message could be made clearer).

What we need is for the copyright holder to give explicit permission for anyone to use that image under terms that would qualify as a free licence, that is anyone must be eable to use, modify and potentialy use that image for commercial purposes. Only then can it be considered to be "free licensed" and used on Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for details for more info and tips on how to go about requesting this.

Failing that please read Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy, if the image meet all the criterea listed there you may make a fair use claim along with a fair use rationale justifying the use of the unfree image in the article(s) you intend to include it in. --Sherool (talk) 11:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do you have complex?

Do you always humiliate people in order to get advantage on them? Or is it a Kurdish inherited habit, a complex of not having a country and not being a nation. One Kurd does not understands the other when they speak to each other, you know that I am sure. Do not tempt people to be racists...especially Turks, trust me.(cantikadam 13:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Image:Peshmerga.jpg listed for deletion

I don't get it, why did you delete the picture you did not wait for me to replay, 3 Minutes after I uploaded the picture you deleted it. You at least could have waited for me to reply and then could have decided to delete image. There was no copyright on the image at all; I also took the time to write to the owner of the picture to ask permission to USE IT ON WIKIPEDIA. He said it was OK to use it on WIKIPEDIA. YOU NEED TO TAKE TIME TO READ THE INFO ON THE PICTURE AND NOT DELEAT THEM WITHIN 3 MINUTES. I WILL UPLOAD THIS IMAGE AGIAN; IT IS NOT INFRINGING ANY COPYRIGHTS, ITS TOTALLY FREE CONTENT. --D.Kurdistani 23:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

"Ok to use on Wikipedia" is not considered a sufficiently free license; our image policy is based not only on avoiding lawsuits ourselves, but also ensuring that our content is as freely redistributable as possible. If you would like to re-upload the file, I suggest contacting the copyright holder and asking him to release the file under a license such as GFDL or CC-by-SA, and then forwarding the email to permissions (at) wikimedia (dot) org. For now, however, if you continue to upload this file with this license it will continue to be deleted, by myself or another administrator; permission-only images are not accepted on Wikipedia. --Robth^Talk 23:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

That isn't an acceptable source. I need a link to the page the image appears on. I also need a license. --Cat out 23:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

First of all, the flags are representing nationality, not ethnicity. Secondaly, Arbil FC plays in the Iraq Super League, not the Kurdi league. Thirdly, Hawar plays for the Iraq national football team, not the national Kurdish team. Chaldean 06:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so you finally come to talk to me after reporting it to an administrator. --D.Kurdistani 07:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Your edits are politically motivated and just play false. Hawar is an Iraqi player - please take a look at this; Mladen Bartolović - he is Croatian but he plays for the Bosnian national team, thus making him a Bosnian Croat player. Secondly, please show me one football player or coach in wikipedia that has anything but a national flag next to their name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chaldean (talk • contribs) 07:07, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] WikiProject

Hi D.Kurdistani,

I think you're right about strating the project. Just use one of the names we suggested because they seem to be the logical ones; others offer some names with full paranoia. The problem is that I was really busy until last week and coincidently my ISP cut my Internet so I need some time to come back and do some work on this. But if you have time please do the Main Page and the other themes of the project so that people could see there is at least a start. Apart from that I think there is a lot of unfairness going on in Kurdish related articles and there's always the Turkish, Arabic or Persian users around to change the factual Kurdish articles to their countries product and that's simply because Kurds haven't got a country. It's like we need to fight for our history, literature and any other subject because every country in the middle east are trying to hide the Kurdish factor in their culture and political arena. This means we have a lot work to do I'll be hopefully joining the project. Keep it up. Ozgur Gerilla 17:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Diyako, everything looks good on the WikiProject Kurdistan page. Now we need to start doing some work on the articles. I have to inform you that I can't use the Internet for a couple of weeks due to ISP cut but will return as soon as it's sorted. Thanks again for the work. Ozgur Gerilla 15:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello D.Kurdistani. Thank u very much for the invitation. I am quite busy at the moment and I will not be able to contribute in the project as much as I would like to. Perhaps sometime in the future. U did a good work, by the way! Ciao Hectorian 17:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wikiproject Kurdistan

hey, u left a message on my talk page a few weeks ago regarding this project (sorry for the late answer). I'd be glad to participate in the project. can u tell me more about it, & have u guys started working on some articles already? Soapyyy 00:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

No it was not discussed. Wikipedia doesn't belong to anyone, I would like to remind you. Even Ozgurgerilla had suggested that he had favored the WP Kurds name. Believe me, this will be better and more efficient for the project. People are not allowed to create WikiProjects to their liking by themselves either - that can also be seen as disruptive. In the proposals page this was discussed, and it was clear that Kurds was not a problem and was preferred. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Cheers! Baristarim 04:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Please read my posts in the talk page of the project and try to be constructive. WikiProjects are open to everyone and everyone has a right to contribute, you cannot block people from contributing per WP:OWN, that's all I am saying. I am saying this in a good faith advice, otherwise all that the project will do will be to edit-war over the template - this way the project can function without problems. Do not emotionalize this issue please.. Baristarim 04:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at this for example: Wikipedia:WikiProject Basque. Listen, I know the issue, but we cannot overlook the fact that there is no independent Kurdish state. Take a look at how Basques dealt with the situation. That way the projects can get involved in articles more easily. Cheers! Baristarim 04:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

But that's exactly what the discussion in the proposals page was for? :) Don't forget that it was also with your individual decision that it was named as such, right? The other question is for future considerations: not only is there too much potential for edit-wars over that template if it stayed like that, but there is also a problem with WP:V - of what can be included in Kurdistan. I am sorry, but things are not clear cut as you might think. That region has been home to many other peoples for millenia like Assyrians, Armenians, Turks, Persians and Arabs - when I say that there are serious academic and legitimate problems about WP:V, I mean it. As I had said earlier, there is not much Wikipedia can do if there is no independent Kurdish state. Listen, there is not even a WikiProject TRNC even thought that is an actual state, do you see what I mean? Its stubs are speedily deleted for that reason. I am seriously cool with WP Kurds - but I am also worried about the actual efficiency this project will achieve if this issue is not taken care of. I have a lot of experience with WP structures and running with WPTR, so I will try to help out as much as I can as time passes by. Cheers! Baristarim 06:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal

Hello Diyako. I was thinking that creating a Wikipedia:Portal for Kurdistan (at Portal:Kurdistan) might be a good idea, what do you think?--Domitius 01:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, to create a portal, the instructions are here. I was thinking that some people may object to the creation of such a portal, however as there are portals on almost everything I see little reason for it. Do you think that it would be a good idea to model it after Portal:Bulgaria (for the colors)? We would have to decide what to include in it before creating it, do you know any good Kurdistan-related pictures and articles (for the selected pictures and selected articles captions)?--Domitius 13:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject:Kurdistan

Hello Diyako,

Hope you're fine. First of all, what Baristarim is doing is very wrong. We have decided the projects name and have applied it; thus no one has the right to tell us what to name it. The name should be changed to Kurdistan as soon as possible and should Baristarim behave in the same manner, then we would have to put some administrators into the issue. Concerning the content and articles of which the Project should work for, to be honest there is a huge lack of academic studies in Kurdish let alone Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean we have nothing to do. In fact there is so many articles we could add and improve regarding Kurds and Kurdistan. We just have to work on the WikiProject page from now on, let's start of by listing the articles we could improve. Currently I am busy reading our rights and the WikiRules to proceed in a systamic manner. We should decide fundamental problems such as categorizing the articles, by country or else. Please do proceed developing the Project, I think this project is absolutely vital for Kurdish-related articles to be improved for the better Wikipedia and realiable Internet source. And do not hesitate to ignore those nationalist users who are accusing as of doing a political propaganda but are boycotting our Project pages; apart from that everyone should be welcomed to participate. Ozgur Gerilla 02:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Not quite. No project belongs to one person Ozgur, you know that. By the way Diyako, who gave you permission to remove my posts [3]?? Do not do so again, it is not your personal website. And I have failed to see any discussion in the talk page, why did you move it to Kurdistan? This was talked over many times, Kurds is much better. There will be WP:V wars over many articles since the borders of the geographical region are undefined...Baristarim 15:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Generally, if you want to rename a page and it's disputed, WP:RM is the way to go.--Domitius 15:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

WRONG. This is not an article. Please cease stalking me and go do something more useful GreekWarrior. Baristarim 16:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

In any case, this issue is not a top priority for me, so we will see how it will go. However, I really would like to see some discussion in the talk page. Baristarim 16:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You did not even try to get everyone else input on this before changing the name. You do not have the right to change the name by yourself, we as a group decided on that name. Stop trying to rename it, if you can’t contribute in a positive and constructive manner then please don’t contribute to this project at all. All I have seen you contribute to in this project is in naming it, other than that I have not seen you do anything else. --D.Kurdistani 19:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

"Group"? What group has decided this? In the final roll call there were only two users. Get real :)) In any case, it is irrlevant, Wikipedia is not the local high school where every group has their "own turf". You were the only one pushing for the Kurdistan name in the WP Proposals page. I contribute to wide range of articles, so don't pass such a judgement call on my contributions please. Had I really been interested in negativity, I wouldn't even have said a word about this whole thing but just went on edit-warring at articles about the WP template per WP:VERIFIABILITY - meaning the criteria that can be used to determine what article falls into the scope of "Kurdistan" and not "Kurds". With the Kurdistan name the WP will become marginal, can't you see that? In fact, maybe you should go ahead and plaster all sorts of Ocalan and PKK images on the WP, how about that? That would really nail the coffin. I put another post at the WP talk page about how it is childish to try to create the WP before the country. It is lame dude, cannot u see that?? :)) I fully support WP Kurds and I know that I can really help but I also know that with Kurdistan this project will become dead in a short while (in fact I am not even sure if it is active at this stage really).

I don't know if the additions to Iraqi Kurdistan are in copyright violations or not, but I could put them back on the article and get sources for them. I started the Demographics of Iraqi Kurdistan page for this article, but it was merged with this article. I am thinking of putting this information on that page, so we have more time to get sources for it and so it’s not on up on this particular page without sources. --D.Kurdistani 02:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:The Saga of Jim Thompson 2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:The Saga of Jim Thompson 2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Kamkars.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kamkars.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kurdistan FA logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon employees. Well a big thanks to all those who helped improve Alis volat propriis and Fusitriton oregonensis last week. This week’s Stub improvement are: Government of Oregon which should be easy, and Miss Oregon. Again, no pressure to help with the collaboration, choose one, both, or neither.

[edit] WPOR Collaboration of the Week #3

Hello again WikiProject Oregon team members, its time for the next Collaboration of the Week. First a shout out to Sprkee for putting together some templates for this project. Now, in honor of Labor Day weekend and the outdoor nature of the activities that often accompany the three-day weekend, this week’s item is to de-redlink as many parks from the List of Oregon State Parks. Some may even by going to one of these places, a great opportunity to take a picture or two for an article. As always, participation is not required, though it is appreciated. And if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence. Since we don’t want to waste any effort through duplication, please make a note on the talk page of which park article you are going to start.

[edit] September WPOR Collaboration of the Week

First off, great job to all WikiProject Oregon folks for last week’s List of Oregon State Parks work. We pounded out six new state park articles: Sarah Helmick, Bald Peak, Bob Straub, Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge, Tumalo, and Peter Skene Ogden. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award {{WPOR COTW award}}, and this time it goes to User:Woodstein52 for starting three of the articles.

On to this week. We are back to the usual two Top importance Stubs: Sunstone and Oregon, My Oregon. Both are stub pluses, so it shouldn’t take much to upgrade them both. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts click here. Good day! Aboutmovies 22:46, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPOR Collaboration: 09172007

All righty WPOR ladies and gentleman, great job last week with our state song and gemstone. I have bumped them up to Start class. I haven’t looked at the contributions, so the COTW award will be later. This week’s articles are Darlene Hooley, by special request, and another Top stub, our very own state rock, the Thunderegg. Yes, apparently we have a state rock and state gemstone. No word on whether there is a state stone too. Hooley basically needs some sources to make it to the next level.

[edit] Fall WPOR COTW

Welcome to autumn and the weekly COTW news. Great job to those who helped out with last week’s articles: Darlene Hooley & Thunderegg. Both made great improvements. This week, something a little different. With fall upon us, the photo ops are going to be harder to get, so we have a photo request fulfillment drive. Take a look at the requested pictures for Oregon category or the graphics subproject for what’s needed. Then go take a picture, or search online for a free picture to upload (US gov sites are great and there are links available from the above links). If you fill a request, be sure to remove the request template from the article’s talk page. Our other item is another red link removal drive, this time on the flagship Oregon article. Like the state parks red link drive, try to coordinate on the talk page. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts click here. Aboutmovies 02:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Week 1 October WP:ORE COTW

I know everyone has been waiting anxiously for this week’s COTW, so here they are: Barlow Road and Columbia River Plateau. Both are almost Start class, just some formatting and referencing, plus a little expansion and they will be there!

As to last week, it is difficult to track the items we were working on, but I know some pictures were added and at least three red links were removed from Oregon, so thank you to all those who participated. The award winner will be GoodDamon for their creation of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute article. We have now worked through all the Top class stubs and are into the High class stubs.

[edit] WPOR CoTW: Don Schollander & Conde McCullough

Greetings WPOR world. Last week was great with the Barlow Road seeing lots of improvement, maybe even B class. Columbia River Plateau also saw some improvement, maybe enough to bump it to Start. On with the countdown, another two Stubs in the High category, both happen to be people: Don Schollander a multi-gold medalist; and then world-renowned bridge architect and all-around swell guy Conde McCullough. Schollander needs sources more than anything, and McCullough needs more of a bio, plus maybe a nice chart for the bridges with type/year/location/length.

Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon folks and entities. Thanks to those who helped out with improving Vera Katz and History of Oregon during the last Collaboration of the Week! As you may have noticed, we have changed the banners a bit, but not our dedication to everything Oregon! This week, in honor of the political process, we have: Current Oregon Senate members & Current Oregon House members. Hopefully by November we can have an article on every current member of the Oregon Legislature. So feel free to turn a red link blue or expand an existing article. Since it is an election year, there should be plenty of newspaper stories. Plus, the state archives has this site that allows you to go back and see when they started serving and district info, plus at a minimum show they were a state legislator from a WP:RS. And per WP:BIO, all state legislator's are notable so no need to worry about AFD. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Juxtaposition COTW

Howdy Ho WikiProject Oregon! Time for another installment of Collaboration of the Week. The last few weeks we’ve knocked out quite a few articles of our current state legislators, and even a few former ones too. Great job to all those who helped make it happen. On a related note, we have had several DYKs from this and now have 53 DYKs so far this year (not counting multiples), less than four full months into the year. Last year we had a total of 83 DYKs for the entire year, and 7 combined for 2006 & 2005. So we are well on our way to another record year. Each time an article makes it to the main page as a DYK it will typically get an extra 1000 hits, which is usually far more than the typical 100 hits per month most minor articles receive. With that said, this week we have two requests, Portland Lumberjax and Silicon Forest. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Cinco de COTW

Greetings once again from the Collaboration of the Week at WikiProject Oregon. Thank you to those who helped out with the last set of articles. This week we have the lone Stub class article left in the Top importance classification, Flag of Oregon, and by request, Detroit Lake. Help where you can, if you can. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here. Adios. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zzzz Oregon COTW

Howdy ya’ll, time for another Collaboration of the Week from WikiProject Oregon. Last week we improved Flag of Oregon & Detroit Lake, enough I think to move them to Start class, so great job everyone! This week, we have another request in Oregon Ballot Measure 47 and a randomly selected two sentence stub that should be easy to expand enough for a DYK in Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

[edit] QWERTY: Oregon COTW

Hello WikiProject Oregon participants, time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week we made some great improvements to Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and Oregon Ballot Measure 47 (1996), with a DYK for the forest. Great job everyone! This week we have another stub, George Lemuel Woods, one of only two governor stubs left, and should be an easy job getting it to Start class. Then, in honor of the long weekend, we have our second State Park Article Creation Drive. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs. Help if you can, even if it is only adding pictures of state parks. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion. May the The Schwartz be with you.

[edit] X marks the WPOR COTW spot

Guten Tag WikiProject Oregon team members! Great job last week with the Collaboration of the Week, we improved George Lemuel Woods and added eleven new state park articles. This past week we also surpassed the 6000 article mark as a project. The weather may suck, but WPORE is not. For this week we have by request Music of Oregon and Phil Knight. Both need some help, and with Knight we might be able to improve it to GA standards. Once again, to opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion.

[edit] A is for Apple at COTW

Hello again to those of the WikiProject we call Oregon. Time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to Music of Oregon and Phil Knight, great job everyone. This week, by request is the Applegate Trail, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, I’m trying something a little different, with the Portland State stuff. We included the two high profile schools during Civil War week last year, so now its time for the younger sibling that gets no respect to get some attention. After all, it is the largest college in the state. Feel free to help with whatever aspects you like, though to help with some ideas I added some to the article talk page.
