List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita

Hello Mohsin

The IMF table is intended to follow IMF report. The IMF report declares that 2007 figures are estimates based on 2006 data, and that 2006 figures are data. For example, see here.

P.S. GDP per capita of Bangladesh in 2006 is a special case because Bangladesh's population in 2006 was not reported to the IMF, but most of the countries did report the IMF their populations in 2006, so their GDP per capita values in 2006 are data - not an estimation.

Have a nice day and successful edits.

Hello Mohsin, I am the creator of Image:World map of countries by gross domestic product at purchasing power parity per capita in 2007 from the International Monetary Fund.png; Basically the map of GDP (PPP) per capita that you have removed from the article List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita. I want to know why you have removed and more so why you have inserted another one (in blue with different wealth division for colour). I would have thought it more usefull to make a new one using the data from the World Bank seeing as it doesn't already have one. Please respond back, Bsrboy 17:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

You appeared to have undone the revision and restored my map. Thank you very much for your co-operation and understanding. Bsrboy 19:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsrboy (talk • contribs)

Hi again. Why does the map need key and legends (GDP PPP). And another thing; Do you think there should be one colour for all the maps on the article or a different colour for each map? I could change the colour of the World Bank map easily. Bsrboy 15:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsrboy (talk • contribs)

Please respond.--Bsrboy 20:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita

1. The map you've added is not updated, because it reflects April report, whereas the list (in the article) reflects October report - which is quite different.
2. IMF table can refer to 2006 data only, because 2007 estimates are not data.
3. Have a nice day.

Hi Moshino31!

I've reverted your 3 edits (February 1, 2008) in Islam in Kazakhstan to the last version by me because you has violated rule of third-party sources, that means you shouldn't/mustn't use Wikipedia articles as sources. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability for more details!

Add Guine-Bissau into the list of Majority Muslim countries‎

Salaam Alaykum, Moshino31!

I have added Guinea-Bissau into the list of Majority Muslim countries because it has 45% are Muslims and because I wonder that the percentage of Tanzania is only around 35% to 40% but why not for Guinea-Bissau? Right!

You could edit its map here: (Light green for Guinea Bissau)

Atatürk' s religion

Hi Moshino31. I have heard this particular rumor before, but the sources you've provided, particularly Jew Watch, are not considered scholarly or reliable. I'm not going to speculate on why Jews or Muslims might wish to claim Atatürk was Jewish, but it's not something that's been mentioned in any of the available scholarly biographies.

About Kosovo and Albania

Hi! I understand what are you talking about the religious status in some Balkan countries as Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina or Kosovo and Turkey. An example, I think that mostly Muslims in these country are nominal or secular adherents. Example: 99% of Turkey's population are Muslim but only 94% are believe in Allah and about half of total Turkey population are half Muslim half Secularist! How about Albania: 70% are nominal Muslims but about only 20% are true religious persons (so please give the sources that wrote 20% of Albania's population are Muslims). Can you help?

Map image for List of unrecognized countries Wikipedia article

Hi, I was wondering if you have the time to create a map image for the article List of unrecognized countries at Wikipedia? I noticed that you created maps for other articles and so I came here to ask you. Gary King (talk) 04:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The list of unrecognized countries will require three different colors, each representing a different level of recognition.

They are as follows:

1. No recognition (red): (These are countries that contain regions with no recognition; the countries themselves are recognized.) Georgia, Azerbaijan, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Moldova.
2. Limited recognition (yellow): Kosovo (formerly part of Serbia), Republic of China (Taiwan), Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
3. Majority recognition (green): Cyprus, Israel, Palestine, South Korea, North Korea, People's Republic of China.

Thanks again for doing this! Gary King (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I've updated the list above with the colors I want. You can choose the exact shade, though, as you're the expert on this. Gary King (talk) 17:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, give me the instructions on how to build the map. Gary King (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I thought you guys had a much fancier way of doing the maps. I think I can handle this then. Thanks for the help! Gary King (talk) 16:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Fakhruddin.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Fakhruddin.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Reverted it back!

Hello Angelo, sorry that I have decided to suddenly edit the article of Majority Muslim countries which I didnt realise it would effect your stability on Wikipedia as we can see, reacting too much so decided to change it back to the way it was days a go to make our lives more easier, happy then! Moshino31 (talk) 15:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

That is enough! I will not forgive you again because I've given you many opportunities but as I can see that you have violated many rules as WP:OR, 3RR, NPOV, WP:V and WP:SOCK. And now, it is over because I've had got enough evidences to request admins to ban your account and I've added you into my blacklist. In my life, I hate extremism and extremists mostly.Angelo De La Paz (talk) 16:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Majority Muslim countries. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 18:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Repeated warnings why?

Hi there, currently I have edited the Islam in Pakistan article, before I only put in 96% but now I have put 96% to 97%, but you have reverted why which I do not understand and you keep on repeating violating, please read the text which I have edited and then say whether I have violated or not thankyou, PS I have already recieved a message of an edit war from an Admin which you have also recieved to, no need to repeat it mate. Thanks a lot. Moshino31 (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You must respect all Wikipedia rules. Could you read? WP:RS, WP:OR (these are your violations in Islam in Pakistan)

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 19:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait a minitue I have added 96 to 97 to that article plus it was expanded, the only thing I forgot was to add the sources thats all, and you suddenly say violation, out of order mate. Moshino31 (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Who was deleted the citation given? Here is the evidences (open your eyes): [2][3]. It's clear, you has violated WP:RS.Angelo De La Paz (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

As you can see that was before then I have added 96 and 97 but I forgot the sources as you should see, with the sources spot the differences look for 96 and 97 on the other. It is there, and I have edited now with reliable sources anyway. Moshino31 (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

And it is not vandalism at all, good day. Moshino31 (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Forgot? I don't think so because as I can see that you has intentionally deleted all citation given. "Don't listen to what the you say, but look at what you do." (from the famous quote of former South Vietnam president Nguyen Van Thieu)

World religion map

Hi there I have realised you have removed the map because of the lack of information of small religions, do you think I should edit it with the percise percentages to improve? All right thanks a lot. Moshino31 (talk) 16:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

No comments! But I advise that only 1 image from Encyclopaedia Britannica was enough and sourced. But that is OK to use your created map in your User Page only! And please don't edit it if you don't want more problems with other main contributors, not me only!

Major religious groups as a percentage of the world population in 2005 (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 16:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

My belief & ideas

Please Angelo, I do not want to cause any wars between us, you seem to always use the phrase, devout Muslim just to back your argument and extremism, I can tell you that I am not a very devout type of Muslim. I have just created the image to show the other side of percentages of the religions of the world, you can see in the other image - Christianity has a far more larger percentage, but we all know from those stats that the Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist percentages are much larger than on that one, because in Asia the population growth is growing faster than ever with more adherents to them, but in the western world espicially - Christianity is dropping to non-religious in most societies, so I have created this image to create a sense of mind between others and other faiths including you and me, please forgive me in any way. Thankyou. Moshino31 (talk) 20:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

No more comments! Let's wait for next 2-3 days for the final opinions by many main contributors. But I believe that your new created image will be delete soon.

Demographics of religion

Please view page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_religion (<image created from) Thanks.

I've added WP:OR tag on this article from last year September. Not accpet to use Wikipedia's articles as a WP:RS. It's clear! Your new created image mustn't accept.

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 20:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

So it will be pretty reasonable to put the image there dont you think, because it reflects the statistics I believe. Moshino31 (talk) 21:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so because remember this is a public website, not your owned private website. And once again, your new created image has violated WP:RS (third-party source) and the second reason, that is its all estimates of the numbers of all religious adherents range widely and it is still in dispute of course. Why don't you creat your owned Wiki website as Moshipedia or Wikimoshino (whatever) and you can do anything you like. An example:

• http://www.wikiislam.com/wiki/Main_Page

I hope you understand and stop making more confusions.

Image:Islam percentage by country.png

There are some disagree points with your edits:

• You were always editing the highest for some countries (Kazakhstan as 50-59% but the predominantly sources have showed that was only 47% and recently Ethiopia)...but I accept these figures because I think it could be true and I've had got some evidences which also show the same.

• But you are disappoint me about your good-faith contributions. You are still keeping the highest percentage (as over 90%) with all Middle Eastern countries although everybody know that was totally wrong. Here are the four main points:

1. Bahrain: 81%
2. Qatar: 77.5%
3. Kuwait: 82%
4. UAE: 76% (76% was the official estimate of UAE Government. And as far as I know that Muslim percentage could be low as only over 60%[4] but it's still a unofficial survey)

• Where is your neutrality? I hope you understand and do something now. And remember that they are only small kingdoms.

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Muslim world map

Hi there just got your message, the reason why I don't myself want to edit the Middle-East is because, there will be edit wars espicially between Muslim (Arabs), they may think it is misleading the Muslim world or something, but I would edit it but that's the reason why. Plus, the Arab population is very low which is why we are having these discussions of the Muslim population, some might suggest the map is/ may be showing the Arab world are turning away from religion or something, so there's my reason's why, so I dont want to be in part of that controversey. Thanks. Moshino31 (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

OK! How could I find these 10 colours in that map? And can I use the paint program to do it? Don't worry! Its discussion was fixed before.

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 21:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Fix some problems

There are some problems you should fix:

• Your citation given about 53% Kazakhstan's population are Muslims [5]
• I've reverted back to the last version by Konchevnik81 (see its reason [6], I also think it must be re-colouring because it has many problems) and I suggest you edit its colours again and make it more suitable for the reality sourced figures (by official surveys of local Government or International bureaus). And here are its main points:

1. France: less than 10%
2. Ethiopia: 40 - 49%
3. Kazakhstan: 50 - 59%
4. Bahrain: 80 - 89% (81.2%)
5. Qatar: 70 - 79% (77.5%)
6. UAE: 70 - 79% (76%)
7. Tajikistan: 90 - 100%
8. Syria: 90 - 100%
9. Serbia: 0 - 9% and add Kosovo (unknow figure) to the map

I will appreciate for your good faith edits. I will follow closely it. I also hope it could our last problems and want it could be over as soon as possible.

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 02:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

DEAL!

I think all our problems were arranged fine! But I remind you that current map of Islamic percentage are partly acceptable and I don't want any change from you again. But be careful with your every edits in the future.

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Just for notice

Hi there Angelo, The pie chart - yes I have made another one, but I think it should be kept because it focuses on the four major religions of the world and is the distribution of how far spread they are in all of them together, please keep this yeah? Thanks. p.s. The pie chart was created using a software of Microsoft, the design is obviously 3-D non-flat shaped, so Christianity is larger than Islam if measured correctly. Just for the notice. Goodbye.

• I suggest you MUST stop adding your unsourced pie charts, especially religious demographics (and you use Wikipedia articles as WP:RS and it's still in dispute because the numbers of many religions are range widely, based on multiple sources and various estimates) and I swear that I will never accept these kinds of pie charts again. Now as far as I can see that you are always let Muslim numbers as much as better and let Christian numbers as less as better (my newest evidence about it: [7]) although I've accepted to keep the current map of Islam by country (which has used all the highest estimates and it's contradict the percentages of mostly Christianity and Hinduism)...So what do you want? It was not fair and justice (you have violated not only Wikipedia rules but also the teachings in your Qu'ran). You are loosing my sympathy seriously.

And I also want to remind you: Where are the sources of this map [8]? It's very important. I think I will keep this one if you could show me its sources (This map is much more better if it has reliable sources)

BTW, I will always appreciate your constructive contributions without the effect of your religious background. I hope you understand what I am talking about!

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 01:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Sources for you

Hi! I think it could help for your map of Religious Freedom.

• Center for Religious Freedom - Survey File
• The Range of Religious Freedom (bottom table)
• Country Religious Freedom Scores Compared to Freedom House Rankings of Political Rights and Civil Liberties

And I suggest you should see some example maps of Freedom House, Economic freedom, Freedom of the press before you creat the new version of Religious Fredom (I think you should choose these colours: light blue for free, green for partly free and red for not free).

Please always be justice, neutral and honest. And remember that I will always constructive contributions but please don't creat anymore pie charts like these ones again [9][10] (unsourced, biased, contradictable, etc)

Have a nice weekend...[11]

Image:Religion freedom map.png

Your map on religious freedom [12] has been removed from the article Freedom of religion. I personally wouldn't have done that (I would have searched another way to deal with the problem) but: the idea is good, only the source issue is probably going to kill it. You would need reliable sources on the status of religious freedom in every country in the world. If you think this is actually possible, I can help you to deal with the controversies this is going to raise. Otherwise, I would suggest that you don't take the removal too personally. Zara1709 (talk) 06:24, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, about the map I have actually created it by using a website that provides maps; the book is actually called 'The Atlas of Religion' by Joanne O'Brien & Martin Palmer. They have given the maps on the internet which can be opened by PDF, so I have just used it from there to create it from openDemocracy[13].

Let's continue this topic at your talk page. I should have guessed that there would be maps on this but it didn't occur to me to search for myself. If you add the source to the image description (and fix that one obvious issue with Turkey) we can put the map back into the article. This is bound to create some discussion, but the controversy shouldn't be overwhelming. Zara1709 (talk) 12:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Accept

OK! I see and I will revert your "Religious Freedom" map. But please re-make some countries in the Caribbean and South Pacific, it will be much more better!

And remember: Never add your religious pie charts again so I will appreciate it! OK?

Thank you!

A small mistake

Hi! You must edit Japan (4 large islands, not 1 largest alone) in this map [14]. The second mistake [15] that is Islam is the state religion (dark blue as Malaysia) of Brunei (the smallest land in North Borneo) with 67% of total population but its sultan has recognized, respect non-Islamic religions (Buddhism, Christianity, etc).

Unreliable sources added for the map

The sources you have added are not even reliable, you should provide sources that are reliable based on the criteria, and that would be the percentages of the countries which obviously cannot all be given in that type of non-article. Plus not vandalism. Moshino31 (talk) 16:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The sources what you mean "reliable" were always choosing the highest Muslims percentage [17] and least Christian percentage[18]?

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 16:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

OK I understand very well on that matter, but please do not change the map to an older version, we have already cited why percentages are very different in the Middle East, therfore we have excluded the real statistics right. Plus Kazakhstan will obviously reach 50% by now in 2008 because of population growth plus national statistics have also pointed that out 5 years ago therfore there will obviously be a change there. Bye. Moshino31 (talk) 17:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You can change the map's figures with it must sourced (Muslim percenatge in Gulf State or Christian percentagein any countries) but please don't change its original colors. Do you understand?Angelo De La Paz (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I should be open-minded with you Moshino because it could help our reletionship better. OK! I will accept your new created map, please keep your good contribute. Bye!Angelo De La Paz (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

But a littile request for Buddhist map. I think you must change its name in the figure table as Buddhist + East Asian because it's very hard to say who is a true Buddhist (extreme vegan, don't kill any animal, etc). Is that OK? The colors of your new maps are GREAT! Angelo De La Paz (talk) 15:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Because I don't like to biased any religions (I am a neutral guy) and because it's the mystique of East Asian culture. Please read the introdutions of Buddhism by country, Religions by country and List of religious populations. And as you can see that although I'm a Chinese mix but I will always fighting for the right things and goodwill reasons. Once more time, thank you!Angelo De La Paz (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Request to move article List of Presidents of Bangladesh incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page List of Presidents of Bangladesh to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 03:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright question

Did Asiatic Society *really* release the Khaleda Zia photo under Creative Commons? I doubt this as all images from Banglapedia are copyrighted, and NOT under CC license. Please clarify this. --Ragib (talk) 17:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

The problem remains ... which particular Creative Commons license did they allow? Who took the photo ... does Asiatic Society even own the copyright to be able to release it? And finally, if they do not allow any modification, then again, we can't use it in Wikipedia. Commons only allows images under CC-Attribution, or CC-Attrib-ShareAlike licenses, along with GFDL. "No changes" is cc-nd, which is not allowed. --Ragib (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mohsin: I truly appreciate the "spirit" of what you are doing with the images of Bangladeshi politicians (like Khaleda Zia, Sheikh Hasina, Iazuddin et. al.) We do need good images of these people on Wikipedia. And I believe you are trying to help these articles with your patriotic spirit. However, we need to understand one very important point - Wikipedia is supposed to be a "Free Encyclopedia". Other than a very few selected occasions (where a free image is impossible to obtain, but is required for the article, the image may be used as "fair-use" only on that article) all images and text on wikipedia are free. Anyone should be able to copy and edit these materials for any purposes (including commercial use) without any prior permission. So if we just use an image from Banglapedia or any Bangladeshi news media in Wikipedia without being 100% sure that the true copyright holder is indeed willing to release the material under free license - we will be commercially hearting that entity (Banglapedia or news media). It is like taking someone else's property and donating it for free without being 100% sure that the true owner of the property has allowed us to take it in the first place. It is almost equivalent to stealing. You have now become an established editor on wikipedia and have done some excellent work here. I hope you will now start to appreciate the importance of being 100% vigilant about the copyright status of the materials you use on Wikipedia. Regards, Arman ^(Talk) 03:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

You are welcome. Sorry to disappoint you, but no - I am NOT the "Arman" on BanglaCricket. I don't even know what Futurama means :) Take care. Arman ^(Talk) 03:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:ChowdhuryJusticeAFMAhsanuddin.jpg

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.

Fair use rationale for Image:ChoudhuryJusticeAbuSayeed.jpg, Image:K 0185A.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ChoudhuryJusticeAbuSayeed.jpg & Image:K 0185A.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. Polly (Parrot) 15:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Moudud.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Moudud.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Hux (talk) 20:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Now

That one makes me think. I'm guessing it was a serious question, so I'll give a serious response. I am, as you know, from a different Religion. I believe Jesus was more than a prophet, he was the son of God. About Islam, I can't understand why? Why is it associated with terrorists? Why are sunni and shite always warring? Ever seen Catholics and Baptists fighting each other? I saw your page and guessed you are a devout Islamic, so you're are not anti-Jesus person. I don't hate any Arabs, Muslims, or other Religion groups, but I'm sure you've noticed the current downfall of America, that's not by accident. America was founded on Christianity, now it's a "free country". No it's a "free to sin country". I believe God, and I'm guessing you do also, created the universe, not the popular darwinism evolution. I believe He is in Heaven, and will take his followers to Heaven with the Rapture. To me, my faith is everything, just, how it all fits. Only a Christian would understand what I'm saying, I think. But I respect you nonetheless. Thanks for asking, if you want to know/say more, I'll be willing to discuss. Cheers! AmericaNeedsJesus 23:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems

Copyright problems with Image:Bahrain Mosque.jpg

Image copyright

I'm afraid you're mistaken about images from Photobucket and Flickr. First, Photobucket is not an acceptable source for images, since images do not originate from there - it's just an image hosting service. And since Photobucket images don't provide any copyright information, the assumption is that they are copyrighted. And if you look at the original Flickr pages for the images you've uploaded, they all say "All Rights Reserved", which means that they're absolutely NOT in public domain. Finally, copyright for television screenshots belong to the broadcaster, and again, they are not considered free license. In any case, please don't remove dispute tags from images, and instead, comment at the linked dispute pages instead. If you need help, feel free to ask me, but definitely don't remove the copyright templates, because that will not save your images from deletion. --Mosmof (talk) 17:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

A little question

Salaam Alaykum!

Could you explain the difference between "Islamic state" and "State religion"; "Secular state" and "Secular republic" in your map:

The Islamic and secular countries in the Muslim World today by constitution.

Thank you!Angelo De La Paz (talk) 17:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Just a Question

Well I also believe God is One. I believe He is Three in One. There are several things that make our Religions different: "ritual prayer five times each day"; head coverings; Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once during life, to name a few. What do you think about the North American Union? Nice maps. Thanks, AmericaNeedsJesus 18:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

• Oh I see! Thanks for your wonderful explanations...oh yeah, that's right because I've visited Malaysia (a Islamic kingdom) before but its Sharia law was totally harmonized (no behead, no hand cutting, etc). And as I and you can see that the relationship between Buddhism with Islam (especially in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Sri Lanka, etc) is much more better than Islam with Christianity and Hinduism. One more time, thank you!Angelo De La Paz (talk) 21:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I beg to differ

Not to be rude, but you're so naive about the NAU. Someday you'll find out why, someday... Oh, and I know your Religion "put's a lot of emphasis on praying to God". In Christianity, it's a privilege, but is not connected to the afterlife. It's the attitude and HIs grace, not the prayers or acts. I am only a teenager so this is the first time I ever really have talked with someone of the faith Islam. Thanks, AmericaNeedsJesus 22:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Your edit in Image:Mujaid Jamaat.jpg‎

Again, please do not remove dispute tags from images like you did in Image:Mujaid Jamaat.jpg‎. That you wrote a rationale isn't the point - I'm disputing the validity of the rationale. It will be up to an admin to decide whether to keep or delete the image. --Mosmof (talk) 23:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I didn't mean it was wrong of you to think that, it's just what everybody is told to believe. Thanks for talking with me. I learn something new everyday. Blessings, AmericaNeedsJesus 19:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop removing the dispute tag from Image:Mujaid Jamaat.jpg

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Image:Mujaid Jamaat.jpg, you will be blocked from editing. --Mosmof (talk) 16:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Great Nuclear Weapons States Map!

Hey Moshin, I just wanted to say that the map you made for the list of states with nuclear weapons article is really good! I just noticed two things that you should update. Belarus should be shaded as a former possessor of nuclear weapons, as 81 SS-25 "Sickle" ICBMs [20] were stationed on Belarusian territory when they became independent from the Soviet Union. Also, Spain should be shaded as a reactor state.

Keep up the good work! Tricky_Wiki44 (talk) 06:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Emirati religiosity

Moshin, you created Image:Emirati.png a few weeks ago. I am assuming you created it with what you saw here. The problem is the content of that table was incorrect. Are you able to change the relgion graph so that it matches the text (that says "official ministry documents") at United Arab Emirates#Culture and religion? Thank you.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Shia Islam. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Peter Deer (talk) 20:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Wa Alaikum As-Salaam.

The way you stated the sentence was (in abridged form) "Sunnis, unlike shias, follow Shia Imams." I reverted it to state that Shias follow Shia imams. My apologies if the warning template was a bit of a cold response, it was not intended as such but was out of inconsideration on my part, for which I am quite sorry.
