[edit] A welcome from Sango123

Hello, Zer0fighta, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy Wiki-ing!

-- Sango123 17:36, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

No problem, and of course I'm real, just like every other welcomer. :) Regards, Sango123 14:39, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ello

Hey, Thanks for the message. Yes, I'm currently working in Kuwait right now, but I'm leaving in 3 weeks. I've decided that while I'm here, I'm should try and write as much as possible. And take photographs. About my user page, I'm just a little too busy/lazy/thoughtless about it right now.

[edit] Speedy Deletion?

Hey, I was going through the list of Candidates for Speedy Deletion this morning, and I noticed that you had marked List of cities in Kuwait for deletion. I didn't see any reason to delete it, so I removed the {{delete}} tag... but what was your reason for wanting it deleted in the first place? I mean, you're Kuwaiti yourself, right? DS 23:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I've noticed how frustating it is for you to be the only one to be creating pages on Kuwait, and one person working on a country is not enough. I'm usually busy but I promise I'll try my very best to help you with that.

[edit] Terminus (band)

I noticed your comments on the AfD, and I also left a comment on the talk page for the article. Please review AfD for proper process regarding articles proposed for deletion, specifically your comment that you would "remove the AfD status within 72 hours if there is no objection by that time" in regards to demonstrating verifiability. AfD tags are not to be removed except by administrators and other removal could be considered vandalism. If you can show that there's some other way of verifying that Terminus is that integral a part of the Kuwaiti metal scene besides your own word, then I'd be more than willing to change my vote.  RasputinAXP  T C 08:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

We should start using infoboxes for comanies, institues, organizations and schools in Kuwait. --Ahmed 17:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kuwait City

Hi, I reverted your edit deleting suburbs of Kuwait City. Kuwait is a suburb of what? A suburb is a small city dependant on a very close (proximity) city for economic reasons. Please understand I am not being argumentative, I just felt that was not a good explanation. I see you are from Kuwait? Maybe just rename that section "Kuwait City Neighborhoods" or something and leave the names? Shukran. Kirby 23:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for the awesome explanation. I spent quite a bit of time in Kuwait city and never knew that. But I still think the neighborhoods (or whatever) should still be included in the entry. Although, with that explanation, perhaps the entry itself needs an entire reworking? Anyway, thanks for not being offended. And have a Happy New Year!Kirby 03:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Darn!

Sorry about those articles. I'll remember to add categorizes the next time I write an article :-). How was Kuwait? I've seen you've done a good deal of research. I'm going to be there next Thursday. Going to be there for a very long time. You get home safely. Talk to you later. --Ahmed 20:34, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] population of Kuwait

Hello,

I basically reverted your recent change to Kuwait about the population. PACI estimates that Kuwait's population in 2004 was 2.753 million, and as of June 2005 was 2.867 million [1]. The other estimates of Kuwait's population all seem to be from the CIA World Factbook. Some of the datapoints in its Kuwait article haven't been changed in 19 years! (like the ethnic group information).

Nice work on all the Kuwait articles. I see that you created a page for my old high school!

Arun 06:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the props. Kuwait seems great this time of year. Kind of quiet though, stayed up last night with friends organizing something. Prices seem inflated these days. --Ahmed 04:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Governorates

I've made some big changes on Governorates of Kuwait. Have a look, and fix anything you might think needs fixing. I've created a template: Template: Infobox GCC Governorate and applyed it to Kuwaiti governorates. I've done a bit on Governorates of Qatar. Have a look at them. Tell me what you think. Golbez has done all the maps with the highlighting. --Ahmed 03:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Looks good. I read the newspaper at the grocery store this morning. Seems the Sheikh Sabah is the Emir now. Apparently Official too, yet last night I was informed that at 6pm it was announced that Sheikh Saad is the official Emir and Sheikh Sabah isn't. Sooner or later we'll find out. Got to get going, at work --Ahmed 07:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:KU_coat_of_arms.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 00:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western Sahara

Hi, here is a vote related to Western Sahara, it's about the neutrality of wikipedia in this conflict, are you interested? Daryou 18:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation request

Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kuwait reverts

Hello. Why was my edits reverted?, I just added some useful information. Answer please. --80.63.213.182 15:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, i read your answer. I didn't know that you should not linkm even if there was already an article about it. I guess i learned something today. Sorry for the inconvinience :P. (but i still fixed the link in the infobox, where it said "2006 est. est." instead of "2006 est.")

[edit] RIT Userbox

Just to let you know, there's now a userbox for RIT students, {{User_RIT}}. Kari Hazzard (talk | contrib) 15:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Long time.

Hey. It's been a long time, and I took a huge break from Wikipedia but I'm back again. I'm going back to Kuwait City tommoro before dawn. I'm going to try my very best to clean up alot of the Kuwait articles while I'm there. Then move to writing about Qatar and finish up the rest of the gulf. It's good to see you're still looking over alot of the articles we wrote. --Ahmed 01:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

If you need photographs, you can give me a list and I'll try my best taking them... --Ahmed 19:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alarfaj group

Regarding the article Alarfaj group, what needs to be cited? All the information on that page was taken from the official website at the bottom of the article. -Zer0fighta 01:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Citations regarding companies should mostly consist of sources that are independent of the companies themselves. -- Koffieyahoo 07:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OWMC

Could you please take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OWMC? The article OWMC will probably be deleted unless the facts in it can be confirmed. The Older Women's Muslim Community (Arabic: مكان الاجتماع لأجل نساء مسلمة أرشدة. ) is a health club for older Muslim women. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 03:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More copyrightery...

Specifically, is Image:National assembly of Kuwait.jpg your own work? As it is it just has a PD tag on it and no indications of its source. 68.39.174.238 22:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: io

Na, not in Kuwait at the moment. I don't think I will be going to Kuwait anytime soon. Got a bit bored:-(. I bet it's really stormy there now. --Ahmed 19:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Btw, any idea why the Zajil Telecommunications article has been deleted? --Ahmed 14:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bader

Hey Mishari, I was browsing around and I found that you're really active in Wikipedai... this is Bader Alsabah btw. So ya I posted this article on health care proxy. Its an assignment I have for a technical writing class. If you have some spare time check it out and feel free to bleed all over it:) Health care proxy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bader isu (talk • contribs) 21:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC).


[edit] Re: Bader

Lol hey mishari thanx for that link btw:) oh ya and about Kuwait I left really early this winter break... Like I was out of there by Jan. 3rd. Most of the time there I got busy with family (cuz of Eid) and all sorts of random stuff, it was really a short break. But ya if you're going back in the summer we should hit up Mishref United lol like the old days or some other gahwa:) I'll probably be back by July. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bader isu (talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Sorry

I accidently displaced your image koc.jpg. Sorry for the trouble.

   Arunkumar P.R


A tag has been placed on Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Wysdom 08:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletions

Hi there :) Regarding the comment you left on my talk page (it's "ma'am", by the by, but that's neither here nor there): I don't do the deletes, I just tag things I come across as being possible cadidates for speedy deletion, or deletion, or needing this that or the other thing. Only admins can delete a page entirely, and they do so after reviewing the article themselves. The comment I left was for no reason more or less than to explain why I tagged it.

As for how notable the company is, notability isn't why I tagged it. It was a stub, it hadn't been sourced, and based on the amount of time it had gone without being sourced or improved, it didn't seem as though it was about to be. Furthermore, the bulk of the article was a blatant copyright violation.

The best way to make sure your articles aren't deleted, speedily or otherwise, is to add enough content to assert their relevance and then back up their notability with a variety of independent, verifiable sources. I'm not sure see what's "jumping the gun" about marking an unsourced stub that--other than the copyright violating stuff--hadn't been touched since January... Or by you, its creator, since February 2006.

Best regards,

Wysdom 16:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Alarfaj

A tag has been placed on Alarfaj, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 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 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. aJCfreak yAkBaK 11:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Burgan logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Burgan logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:NBK_Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:NBK_Logo.gif. 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 16:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 16:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Injustice is when you cant see it. The whole Knowledge EconomY (KEY) on-screen on one page: xyz. Vitology: the importances, etc. History 2.0. Plese set something up linked to the UN OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Project the first 300 million units of which are Open Source activated the last quarter of 07 world wide, etc. Network programmers etc to this - the plannet needs good wishes (Gold or spirit boosting groups), connectivity (Blue groups), Complementary Alternative Medicine/CAM etc (Red groups), and Greenpeace etc (Green groups directories/pages) help. Its your right to take responsibility for the KEY. Each thing done reduces the confusion and job size for all. Thank you for any help you can give. PS.

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:NBK Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:NBK Logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Mutlaa.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MTC logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MTC logo.gif.

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.

Good to see more people from Kuwait making contributions to Wikipedia! I've created a few articles myself, as well as fixing up errors here and there. Look forward to helping you guys increase the number of Kuwait related articles! M75.


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ask logo.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Ask logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
