Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Talk:Battle_of_Mu'tah. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ITAQALLAH 16:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

i think to cite my personal faith as a reason for apparently being 'biased' is distasteful and an unacceptable jibe here on Wikipedia, please see WP:CIVIL. making your own conclusions- and presenting them to the reader- is original research and contrary to the principles of this encyclopedia. the previous figures have been sourced to traditional sources. if the numbers really are "probably" lower, then surely there must be an academic resource stating that, which then you can use as a citation to support your insertion. thanks.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Logo rund.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo rund.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. 20:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Tig10.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tig10.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Denniss 20:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ww2

Hey, I know you feel strongly about Russia and you could be right, but you need to watch your mouth kid. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. I don't care what country youre from, but what you said about Americans isn't smart. We certainly didn't lose as many people as the Soviets, but we certainly had a hell of a homefront here in the US to give Russia and Britain enough guns to fight the war. And let's not forget the USSR was bad at one point as it declared war unprovokedly on Finland, and invaded Poland. Youre saying leave out the friggen war against Japan, well the US would have been able to divert many of its troops the the ETO if it didn't have to divert forces and supplies to the forces against Japan, but oh wait, did the USSR invade Japanese held territory? Oh yeah, they did with 5 DAYS REMAINING IN THE WAR. --Mack540 22:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:BrokenCrescent.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BrokenCrescent.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

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) 00:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chef

Alright, it isn't irrelevant, it is redundant because just before that it already states that the word chef means "head" as well you are stating language information after where the article already begins discussing the culinary purpose of the word.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 15:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks! For the new additions you made at Criticism of Islam. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 15:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russia discussion

Hello, as I saw you implicated into the debate I think useful to give you the signification of some legal internation law words ;) (I'm really sorry if you are a jurist).

This concerns only the second dispute (about succession). I think you perfectly understand the problem with the infobox dates so I won't talk about it.

A "successor state" is a legal word to define a new state, which is saw by international opinion as being in a certain way a "child" of a "predecessor state". The word if often used when a state split into another but can also be used talking about fusion of state or scission. Succession may refer to the transfer of rights, obligations, and/or property from a previously well-established prior state (the predecessor state) to the new one (the successor state). Transfer of rights, obligations, and property can include overseas assets , participation in treaties, membership in international organizations, and debts. Often a state chooses piecemeal whether or not it wants to be considered the successor state.

In an attempt to codify the rules of succession of states the Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties was drafted in 1978. It entered into force on November 6, 1996.

Often transfer of rights concerns border treaties and treaties which are bound to a precise territory. However a "sucessor" state can decide to continue all the rights and obligations of its predecessor or to apply the principe of "tabula rasa" which implies exactly the opposite. A "notification of succession" means in relation to a multilateral treaty any notification, however phrased or named, made by a successor State expressing consent to be bound by one or more treaties.

According to these definitions (most of them from the Vienna international convention about succession of treaties [1], and some from international doctrine) this is very clear, but this is only my POV, that it exists no international status "continuing the the international personnality". Our case is a succession with a transfer of all international right, which is confirmed by the European Journal of International Law [2] : "From the point of view of State succession, the USSR dissolved into four categories of States.

The first category (of successor state) consists of the Russian Federation, a State which claims to be the continuation of the former USSR. Unlike the similar claim made by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, this claim has been widely accepted by other States.

The second category (of successor state) consists of the Ukraine and Belarus[...]

That's why the source of Mikyogan [3] and mines [4] are both correct (That's also the reason why I added his source too in th article). However I repeat this is only my POV. I'm encouraging you to read the sources' texts if you have any doubt about my definitions (or about my english ^_^).

To conclude just on word about the title : Russia is not the same country as the Soviet Union. It concerns the beginning of our case as Mikyogan was asserting that SU and Russia was the same sovereign country. I consider this case as closed as User:Doopdoop found sources from the Russian parliment and that we had also another source asserting the opposite [5]. However I looks like Mikyogan is just back on this: "Russia de facto never lost its sovereignty" (which is clearly not the case [6] :/).

PS => These are articles about international succession on eng. wikipedia (they are not perfectly correct, however I quoted some sentences above)

[edit] Inline references

Hello! I noticed you added a reference to some article somewhere. That is great! Wikipedia needs better sourcing. However, I thought I'd give you a pointer - for an article to reach Good Article or Featured Article status, which of course is the goal with every article, inline citations are required. So if you are contributing to an article, add inline citations for everything you add while you're at it. See Wikipedia:Citing sources#How to cite sources for instructions. There are a number of template you can use, for example {{cite book}}, {{cite news}} and {{cite web}}. Happy editing! Jobjörn (talk) 16:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] All roads lead to Rome

From my personal experience, it means to conquer Constantinople. I am an Iraqi (Assyrian by ethnicity) and my mother told me that the saying was used for instance when a task could be accomplished in many ways, that is correct. However, it also has another meaning. The Arabs found that the way to Constantinople was by sea and by land. Furthermoore, land routes could be via the Cilician gates, through Anatolia's mountains in Cappadocia, through the European sides. Effectively, all roads led to Rome! And the Arabs used this saying to emphasize that it was their destiny to take the city. Tourskin (talk) 23:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll make sure to add that footnote in. Tourskin (talk) 21:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BrokenCrescent.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BrokenCrescent.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 13:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Crescent

I've marked Broken Crescent with notability concerns, as it currently doesn't reference any third party reliable sources in order to prove that the mod is notable. Articles that don't reference sources to demonstrate notability are likely to be deleted. You might want to take a look at WP:VG for help[, support and discussion on writing videogame articles. Hope this helps, Gazimoff WriteRead 17:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Byzantine size at battle of yarmouk and Nicolle's estimates

Dacid nicolle in his book Yarmouk 636 wrote on page no 65 that muslims were outnumbered by 4 to 1. Which implies around 100,000 byzantine troops at yarmouk. Now all argues should be stoped imediately and info box should be edit. Nicolle was considered the best source for this battle and it mentioned 25,000 muslims and 100,000 byzantines. if any one have any doubts then gimme your email address i will sent you the page of that book.

[edit] Battle of Yarmouk

You reinserted the cleanup template for the Battle of Yarmouk. As per my explanation for removing the template, the article satisfies Wikipedia's style guidelines and therefore no longer requires the template message. If you feel there are still issues with the article I would suggest a more accurate template be added with a specific message to other readers as to what still needs to be done. Try looking through this list of alternate templates to find a message that would convey what still needs to be done with the article in terms of cleanup. If you have any questions I am happy to help. Thanks! Barkeep Chat | $ 13:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
