Hi KOT-TOK, just a very minor thing, its better to use an actual year rather than a construction such as "five years ago" in an article, e.g. as you did in the article Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force, in a year or two years time the words "five years ago" will mean 2009, 2010 and so on. In this case it is obvious and easy to fix because its a new article, but in an older article with lots of edits it would have taken more effort to locate the diff and to insert the correct year.-- KTo288 ( talk) 17:18, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Major General Jarallah Alaluwayt making a speach for Strategic Missile Academy graduates, Jun 2013.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster ( talk) 00:38, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
My reason for using this picture is the following: the article purpose is to show that the Commander Jarallah Alaluwayt is official person, open for public, not a top-secret commander. He is in a very unique position - he is the only one (probably the first) Commander of Strategic Missile Force in Arab and Muslim world.

Thanks for uploading File:Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force , official emblem.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 22:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

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

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited GTA gang, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tajik, GTA and Uzbek. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to
November 2015 Paris attacks appears to be a
minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given
undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a
neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's
talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

This is your only warning; if you make
personal attacks on others again, as you did at
Talk:November 2015 Paris attacks, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Asking someone, even in passing, if they are a supporter of ISIS because they don't agree with you is a
personal attack of the highest order and will not be tolerated. Do not attack other editors. Period.

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Map with GEOMAR calculations of wing flaperon (MH370) origin deleted from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 5 June 2018.
