[edit] Barnstar Award for You
 |
The Original Barnstar | |
| For jumping right in, and doing a great job with article content, especially with the Jack Clemmons article, I award you this Barnstar, Octavian history. Keep up the good work! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 15:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] Edison barnstar
Thanks for the barnstar! T.A. Edison had his flaws, but his achievements as an inventor are outstanding. Plus, they are well documented, unlike some rival claimants. The phonograph, major improvements to telegraphy and telephony, and motion pictures, as well as the first commercially useful lightbulb. Edison (talk) 02:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Page moves
Hello, please ask for help the next time you need to perform a troublesome page move (e.g. when a page history already exists, etc.). If nothing else, please do not perform any more cut-and-paste page moves. This has come up before and you did it again with Nur Ali Elahi and its talk page. I can appreciate that you wanted to quickly resolve an issue, but next time, please ask an administrator for help, or file a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of Kurdish references in Elahi's page
Hi,
The stuff you removed without any explanations[1][2] from Nur Ali Elahi's page were taken from his official website. It is well known that he was born into a Kurdish family. Please check out the provided sources more often or at least discuss your rationale on the talk page. Heja Helweda (talk)
[edit] Speedy deletion for William Pywell
A tag has been placed on William Pywell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. миражinred (speak, my child...) 23:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- I declined the speedy on this page & added some info and references. This guy was fairly well known in his day. I'm afraid I'm not much of a writer, but it's a start. :) --Versageek 02:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hajj Amin Elahi
Contact me about saving your article. I think that we can use the foreign language sources to help establish notability. Also if we can demonstrate credibility and independence for the Tanbur Society this will help. The NY Time obit is good for providing information on him, but useless for establishing notability, don't get trapped into arguing that point. --Kevin Murray (talk) 11:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Get the title, author, publisher and date on several foreign sources. It would be great to be able to use them as inline citations for specifics in the article. I'm hoping that you are fluent in the language and can translate, else will ahve to find a Wikipoedian who has access and can translate. Do you have info on the Tanbur Society? --Kevin Murray (talk) 11:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Salam
Salam, I have read Ostad Elahi's work and they are remarkable (Specially the Ma'rifat Ar-Ruh which was translated recently to English as well). I would like to know why you think the Nur foundation is cult. Note I am not affiliated with any group, but I would appreciate some more information, since I do have friends in the organizations. Also I do not read French at a sufficient level. I would appreciate any information through E-mail which you can access through my wiki-page. --alidoostzadeh (talk) 15:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Okay
I'll take care of him...Evilly Grins Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 16:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I haven't been to my user page lately and just noticed the barnstar you awarded to me. Thanks. --Kevin Murray (talk) 01:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
