Your comment editing Pope

I found your comment, "you are from Malaysia, you wouldn't understand" somewhat offensive. Please see the New Advent entry on Pope to see how other people capitalize Pope. (Unless you think that author was Malaysian too.) -- Cat Whisperer 05:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

If somebody reverts your edit with an edit summary "you are from North Carolina, you wouldn't understand", what would you think? Please don't do it again, as it may qualifies as personal attacks. Being a Malaysian doesn't mean that I wouldn't understand something outside my country. Joshua Chiew 13:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Your comment editing Audley Harrison

You refer to Harrison's ethnic background when incorrectly reverting a correction to your grammar. Please be clear that regardless of ethnic background, a British (adjective) citizen is known as a Briton (noun). See and note that "British" is listed as an adjective only, never a noun.

Karl Urban

You should not revert again without a source. WP:V is policy and not negotiable. Any editor can remove any part of any article that is uncited and that part should stay remove pending a reliable citation. You have no grounds for keeping that part in the article without a reliable source to cite that says it. It's really that simple. Mad Jack 18:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Ciencianob.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Ciencianob.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. 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.

License tagging for Image:Doom.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Doom.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:

Question

You're not one of those people who is totally unaware that being Jewish is a matter of ethnicity as well as religion? I.e. that's why "English Jews" is included in "English people by religion" and "English people by ethnic or national descent". As for The Jewish Chronicle, it passes WP:RS. Anyway, it'll be restored soon enough by someone or other. Mad Jack 23:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh, no, The Jewish Chronicle is a reliable source, regarldess of what you say. It passes WP:RS, not to mention that it's an interview with his grandmother. I'm tired of the nonsense that Jewish papers aren't reliable sources on who is Jewish. Obviously, you'd have to be certified to say that an African-American newspaper is not a reliable source on who is African-American, or an Irish-American paper isn't reliable on Irish-Americans. Mad Jack 23:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Radcliffe

Please do not remove properly sourced material from articles. This violates WP:V and WP:NPOV.--Runcorn 23:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, please can I check that you are aware of WP:3RR.--Runcorn 23:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on Daniel Radcliffe. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing. John Reaves 01:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

CfD

Request citation for Paulina Rubio

You have changed her article twice now (that I am aware of) claiming French descent. First you claimed in an edit summary her mom was French which I disproved by citing her mom's article. Now it is the grandfather. Unless you have a citation that is veriable via a reliable source, please do not do this again or you will be cited. Ronbo76 11:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I have asked for a citation on that article too. Nothing I have seen indicates her dad is French. Lots of people like to tag articles with nationalities just to lay claims. A reliable source will be needed. Ronbo76 14:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

• Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
• Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I have protected this article because of the week+ of edit warring over this article's infobox. Please discuss the issues on the article's talk page rather than warring over something like this. Metros232 17:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:070416_vatech_hlarge_10a_rp600x350.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2].

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file.

July 2007

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Islam. 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 which gains a consensus among editors. Please discuss your edit on the talk page and gain consensus before re-adding. Thanks. → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 21:11, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Islam in Europe

I have reverted you for now. I don't have an issue with the information or mention, let's just see about integrating in a better place into the article and with some source. I suggest the demographics or Modern times would be a more appropriate section for such an attribution. The section you placed it in was merely dealing with the global locations of muslim communities without getting drawn into other commentary. Just do include a citation and get a bit more specific if possible.--Tigeroo 13:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 22:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Logo copa.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo copa.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 23:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Europe

FYI France has the largest population of Arab origin in Europe, due mainly to their former territories in North Africa. It is estimated that at least 4% of the population are practising muslims. Please check your facts before making the kind of changes you made to the article on Europe. --Mathsci 09:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your personal opinion that 4% is insignificant is irrelevant as far as WP is concerned. The encyclopedia is about verifiable fact. Please look at the page for France, if you have not already done so. Please do not remove information from Europe that has long been agreed by consensus. If you feel sufficiently strongly, you should argue your point on the talk page of Europe, rather than attempting to revert war. If you continue against consensus, pushing your own personal minority point of view, you are at risk of being blocked from editing. --Mathsci 18:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

You are now on the verge of breaking the 3RR rule. I have reported you to an administrator and you could be blocked from editing. --Mathsci 19:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I have reported your disruptive editing to User:Durova. When you discover that you are editing against consensus, you should enter into discussions on the talk page of the article. Please, please, please calm down. You are removing correct information from the WP and this is unacceptable behaviour. --Mathsci 19:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

This sentence that you left on my talk page is unacceptable.

« France has been anything but muslim since the ice age or so, and just because a bunch of immigrants with islamic beliefs settle there recently, doesn't mean that it has a "significant" muslim population. »

Why do you assume that all French muslims are immigrants and why do you dismiss them in this way? --Mathsci 20:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007

Please do not remove other comments than your own from talkpages as you did to Talk:Europe unless they are vandalism, personal attacks, spam or the like. This could be considered as vandalism.

Thank you

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Doom.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Doom.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
