[edit] Charles Fort

Martin, your Al-Hikma contribution has been vandalised. I've cleaned it up and added some changes--but I'm new to Wiki. P.S. As 24.149.161.58 22:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)one who spent time there (and spend my Summers on the Beara penninsula)I'm curious as to your own connection with Al-H.24.149.161.58 22:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC) Hi Martin, I moved Charles's Fort to Charles Fort (building) when adding some photographs; hope this is OK with you. I put a disambiguation link on the Charles Fort (author) page. "Charles Fort" is the correct name as a quick Google will demonstrate, for example:

To be honest James's Fort should probably go to James Fort also. -- Blorg 17:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gallego articles

Please take a look at the changes I've made to Ruben Gallego, both for content and style. Please adjust your articles to use this same style, and feel free to correct any factual mistakes I've made. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:CastleparkBoreenAugust2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CastleparkBoreenAugust2005.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Stan 19:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boreen

Boreen has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this is more a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe (Talk) 15:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arnold Wilson

Is this the same guy as Sir Arnold T. Wilson, the author of many books on Persia? AucamanTalk 04:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Ballagh

Thanks for your addition to the Robert Ballagh article, I was wondering did you have a reference for that? Notjim 17:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Targum dialect of Hebrew

Targum dialect of Hebrew (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I and another user have expressed concern for the accuracy of this article. I've had a look at the reference you have given (Communal Identities and Ethnic Groups: Jewish Communities), which mentions the Targum dialect of Hebrew in passing within a short essay. I believe that the source is mistaken. There are two varieties of Jewish Neo-Aramaic (not Hebrew) that are referred to as Targumic: the dialect of Sanandaj and the dialect of Zakho. Also, the word תרגום (targûm) means 'translation', and it refers to a translation of the Scriptures from Hebrew into another language, usually Aramaic. Considering all of this, I believe the source reference is wrong. I wanted to mention this to you just in case you have any additional information that might shed some light on the accuracy of the article. — Gareth Hughes 11:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Myrtle Jones

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Myrtle Jones, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Tok Pisin Wikipedia and Wiktionary

Hi, there are a few people getting together to revitalise the Tok Pisin Wikipedia and the Tok Pisin Wiktionary. If you're interested, your Tok Pisin skills would be invaluable. First stop is the discussion at WikiProject Melanesia - the Tok Pisin subpage and specific discussion pages on TPI Wikipedia and TPI Wiktionary. Cheers, Wantok (toktok) 07:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of R. M. Smyllie

A tag has been placed on R. M. Smyllie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Tiptoety 15:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

speedy declined, of course. Good article. Didnt warrant a speedy even in the original unsourced form. DGG (talk) 23:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mufid Nashashibi

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mufid Nashashibi, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0699/9906029.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Henri Maillot

A tag has been placed on Henri Maillot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Basketball110 the pages I've messed up completely 21:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
