[edit] Reliable sources

Thanks a lot for your additions to Indo (Eurasian). I have, however, reverted the changes as no citations to reliable sources were provided. Your edits can be put back easily, but they need to have these references that you used. Any question, I'd be happy to help/advise. regards --Merbabu 06:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plan de Campagne

Many thanks for your message. I am sure it can assist me if I will contribute again. I soon will be traveling quite intensively so am afraid I will not be spending much time on the Wiki project.

As a rookie to this forum appreciate any comments from more senior contributors and editors. However with all due respect I do find the measures taken to the topic at hand somewhat drastic as returning the article to its old state doesnot enhance its quality nor does it allow specific scrutiny by other users. I have also noticed the following important rule:WP:IAR. Which in this case might very well be applicable.

I have written most from the top of my head one night and detest plagiarism as much as the next scholar. Also much of what I have written is common knowledge in my academic circles. But I'll be happy to add specific references where requested.

If I would cite one particular source of information from my college days in the UK its 'A History of the Modern World' by Palmer and Colton. ISBN 0-07-557417-9

In the meanwhile appreciate it if you would consider resurfacing my contribution herewith allowing the Wikipedia community to make improvements accordingly.

Merci bien and kind regards, JAGO It's just HIS story... 01:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TJALIE.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TJALIE.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] A suggestion

Hi there Jago. I've noticed that you are working up your article additions on your user page. While it's a great idea to do it off the main article, you don't need to do it on your user page which should be about you as a wikipedia editor - ie, kinda like your wiki-homepage. Most people create a sub-page to that work, usually known as a sandbox, but you can call the page whatever you want, indeed you can have more than one page. Next time you are at your user page User:JAGO, add "/Sandbox" to the url. (ie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JAGO/Sandbox ). When it asks if you want to create a new page, just create a new one. And, as i said, you can create whatever page you want. I have Newsletter and view architecture pages. Just remember the URL it is case sensitive. Any questions, just ask.

[edit] Lists of Indos deletion

Hi, and I am sorry that you were unhappy with my deletion. However, as the article was almost entirely a list of redlinks to articles not yet written and contained no references, I felt that there was no point in keeping it. If you feel strongly about it I could bring it to an AfD discussion, but I doubt that the end result would be any different. Best wishes, --John (talk) 03:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Thats BS administration. Just a show of power tripping without any consideration to the people working on this article. Ever heard of the Talk page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.94.191.131 (talk) 22:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
