[edit] Greetings

I have seen you have been doing a lot of work on articles concerned with Islam. I thought I would introduce myself. I've been doing a lot of work on the articles about the Guantanamo captives, and related issues.

I get the occasional challenge that my contributions are POV or "anti-American". When I get this kind of challenge, I ask my correspondent to be specific about what raised their concern. Usually they can't cite a specific passage.

If you work on the same articles as I do, and do your best to comply with NPOV, you may find yourself getting the same kind of challenge. If you do, and you would like to talk about it, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talk page.

Thanks! I'm trying to complete the list of foreign Mujahideen commanders fighting in Chechnya. Today I will probably add Muhannad (al-Urduni's successor), unfortunately there is little known about him so it will most likely be a very short article. If you find the al-Urduni video maybe you can add it to the external links. Greetings! ForrestSjap 07:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abu Ayyub al-Masri edits

Hi there. I confess that I do not know very much about the subject of this article, and so I do not feel qualified to weight in on any editorial debate at this point. My best advice would be to continue making changes to the article that are well-sourced and verifiable. If there is a point of contention with another editor, then make sure you explain your edits clearly in your edit summaries to avoid confusion, and describe the reasoning for your edits in some detail on the article's talk page. The idea is to reach a consensus with the other editor(s), on what should be included in the article. If any other users are being directly disruptive, feel free to let me know, but at this point I don't see that happening. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 12:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ansar al-Islam

Hi, thanks for keeping a lookout for copyvio. In cases of long-running pages, clear copyvio is most likely the result of a recent edit. I have simply reverted some recent anon edits rather than deleting the article. Thanks, BanyanTree 10:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject:Terrorism

Greetings,

I was hoping I could get some input from you, about the proposed mergerof Wikipedia:WikiProject Terrorism and counter-terrorism with Wikiproject:Terrorism. It seems there's a lot of overlap between the two projects, and if we spent a few days merging the lists of articles, sharing ideas and collaborating on improving the same articles which both projects are focused on improving...we could really make some headway. Whether you're in favour, or against, the idea of a merger - I'd appreciate some feedback regardless. Much thanks. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 21:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph of Abu al-Walid

Thanks for the tip! I might be able to use it some time! ForrestSjap 21:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Abu jihad al masri 1.GIF}

Thank you for uploading Image:Abu jihad al masri 1.GIF. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our 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.
