[edit] Welcome

Hi and welcome. I hope your article creation and editing goes well. One thing, Wikipedia articles do not receive "bylines". Don't sign your articles. When you make comments on an article's discussion/talk page, do sign your comments with the four tildes to stamp with your username and the time and date. Thanks. Welcome again and happy editing.

One more thing. I've used a tool called a redirect which is really useful. It automatically points people to the article you want them to read, even if you've named your article slightly differently. This way, only one version of the article needs to remain on the server--all the other names for the article are instant pointers to it. It is very difficult to maintain multiple versions of the same article, so we use redirects to keep all the edits in one place. Welcome again, and happy editing.

Thank you for all your advices. --Walid HADDAD 20:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saad Sami Haddad

There are several things wrong with this article. First, it may not meet wikipedia Notablity criteria for Biographies. You need to explain why he is notably, in an unbiased (NPOV) way. Since he is your father, many editors may see a Conflict of Interest. To establish notability, you should try to cite a variety of sources, including secondary sources. Finally, the article needs some general cleanup, such as section headings and interwiki links. You can read more about that on the Manual of Stly found here. You will notice I also tagged this article as "linkless". The "linkless" tag is common for new articles and is usually added eventually by an automated system. It just means you should create some internal wiki-links to other articles. Hope this helps. Danski14 23:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, glad I could help. I looked over the article again, and it's looking better already. I guess he is notable. Danski14 23:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You should see the "move" tab up on top, just to the right of "edit". In any case, I moved the page for you. It looks pretty good.. but I think english links might be better, since this is the English wikipedia. One other thing, when you post comments, you can sign your name using four tildas like this ~~~~ and your name and the time will automatically be generated. Danski14 01:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. I appreciate your good faith in my intentions to be helpful. Sometimes people percieve these nominations as malicious. As I state in my nomination and you were notified above by Danski14 at 23:32, 3 February 2007, you must make the article meet WP:BIO. Wikipedia is neither a primary source nor a secondary source. It is a tertiary source. As such, it has the responsibility to note that various secondary sources have cited primary sources as important. Unfortunately, your grandfather's notability is not heritable. You must cite (secondary) reviews of your fathers (primary) books in this tertiary resource to establish notabiltiy as an author. If you want to establish other types of notability you must provide evidence that satisfies any criteria at WP:BIO. Hope that helps. TonyTheTiger 18:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I got a chance to look at the deletion discussion. The problem is that the deletions were based on wikipedia policy and the appeals to keep were more emotional. None of them contested the failure of the policies that were pointed out. Instead, they said he is important because I thinks so (sort of). My own bio was AfDed and I believe myself to be one of the nations most prominent martial artists. I know how it goes. TonyTheTiger 20:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Sihaddad.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sihaddad.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of logo

It doesn't seem like the wikipedia logos are completely free use, but I think it's ok for you to use them on your website. I found this page [1] which says it is ok, as long as you don't change the logos at all. Danski14 17:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but to see all of the images you've uploaded, you can take a look at your logs. Hope this helps. —Pilotguy push to talk 15:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One more thing

If you still want to create content, you could create an article with a discovery or some discoveries of your father. Take a look on his books for something interesting. It would still be a way of honouring his work. Mr.K. (talk) 14:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
