Hello Mabdul ...i don't know why they have not accepted my page on wiki ...so i guess i will need your assistance in it. Thanks Walemirjam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walemirjam ( talk • contribs) 11:23, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Mabdul,
Please advise as to why you took Accelerated I/O's PnZ Cloud SVG raster to vector converter information off the "Comparison of raster to vector conversion software" wikipedia location
Pnzjerry ( talk) 19:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mabdul,
Upon research I see that I need to create pages on Accelerated I/O and PnZ Cloud SVG before adding them to another page. I was planning on doing that but didn't realize it needed to be done first.

Hey Mabdul, I was wondering what standard you used to determine if a Barnstar was a "2.0" or not. It seems the easiest standard would be that BS2.0 use the Hires image and other stars do not. But there are some listed 1.0 that use the Hires image, with no 2.0 listed, like The Video Games Barnstar, Geography Barnstar, Biography Barnstar, Buddhism Barnstar, World War Barnstar, iOS Barnstar, Telecommunications Barnstar, MediaWiki SysAdmins Barnstar, and the Research Participation Barnstar (ok, so that's an all-encompassing list).
Does it make sense to move those a column over, or were you using some other standard for which stars were 2.0? Cheers!

Hi. When you recently edited OpenOffice.org, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PCWorld ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Here's some barnstars, you deserve them:
I don't know the rules about AfC and the standards for approving articles, but am surprised that an article like this has been reviewed and approved. The title is obviously wrong, the lead sentence isn't a sentence, there are capital letters all over the place, the link to ABC needs disambiguation, the references are all bare URLs. And your "cleanup" added 2 nonexistent tags, presumably through typing too fast! ("rphan" and "ofootnotes"!). Pam D 20:20, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Mabdul,
Sorry to bother you again with this issue, but after having sent to Wikipedia all images copyrights months ago as it was required, we are still waiting to see the images in the article.
This is disappointing, as we spent a great deal of time preparing the article and getting the copyrights of the images.
Could you, please, find out why this is taken so long?
Many thanks

Dear Mabdul:
I was the CEO of SynCardia, the artificial heart company for 6 years, 2005 to 2011. During that time enormous strides were made in the evolution of the Artificial heart. The advancement of the drive system completely changed the paradigm. The older drive system weighed 400 pounds and a person was tethered to the hospital until a donor heart replaced the artificial heart. Today as a result of the Freedom 13.5 pound driver patients can leave the hospital and have the "Freedom" to live a very normal life. Also I see that much of the history of the artificial heart is absent going back to William Kolf who invented the artificial heart during WWII. I would like to update this page. What are my next steps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carsoncity1017 ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Because it's easier I will write in German:
Ich habe jetzt mal pauschal Einspruch eingelegt. In der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia bekommen wir das Logo auf jeden Fall mangels Schöpfungshöhe durch. Wenn man sich commons:Threshold of originality anschaut, dann liegen auch die Hürden für US nur unwesentlich höher. Ich sehe also nicht, wie diese Logos überhaupt Copyright-Verletzungen sein sollen, weil die Schöpfungshöhe gar nicht gegeben ist. Die Logos sind mit CC alle falsch lizenziert - OK, aber die Änderung auf den entsprechenden PD-Baustein ist wohl kaum das Problem. Die Einschränkungen, die auf der TorProject-Seite zu lesen sind, sind deshalb bezüglich Copyright völlig uninteressant, weil es bereits an den Voraussetzungen für das Copyright mangelt.
Nebenbei ergeben sich die auf der TorProject-Seite genannten Einschränkungen schon komplett aus dem Markenrecht. Die zielen also auch gar nicht auf das Copyright ab, sondern stellen lediglich die Markenrechtssituation dar. Das wird schon allein daraus deutlich, dass sie es als "Trademark-FAQ" bezeichnen, nicht als Coypright-FAQ. Sie gehen also selbst nicht von einem Copyright-Schutz aus. -- Entzücklopädie ( talk) 23:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mabdul, I am surprised that the page submitted is empty as I spent quite abit of time on it. Is it because I have left empty spaces before the line that is not supposed to be removed? I have added more citations and published work references today. Should I resubmit? It's the first time I am posting a article on Wikipedia and I must be doing something wrong. Can I repost here for you to see what's wrong? The funny thing is that I am now unable to edit or repost anything, as Pressebot adminstrator decided I was an open proxy and blocked me suddenly. It may be because I am using an ISP account. Is there anything you can do to help unblock me? Many thanks! Lullullull ( talk) 11:02, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem with the AfC Review Tool. When it goes to check the AfC creator's talkpage for the (possibly pre-existing) TeaHouse Invite, it gets stuck in the process and does not go beyond that action.

The article PromoJam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
There was a discussion on IRC, and supposedly you need to change the template to Wikipedia:Teahouse/AfC Invitation and set it to transclude instead of subst. Apparently there were several duplicate templates made and this is the official one. Thanks, Nathan2055 talk 21:56, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

It is a picture of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for the article that talks about the hospital itself ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Israel_Deaconess_Medical_Center). I contacted the photographer of this picture ( http://www.richardmandelkornphoto.com/images/work/healthcare/Beth%20Israel%20Deaconess%20Medical%20Center%20%20Shepley%20Bulfinch,%20architect-03ctf.jpg) and he has given express permission for me to post that photograph on the Wikipedia article.

Hi Mabdul. I stopped by to say thanks for helping User:Penwatchdog with the I AM THE BEST ARTIST Rene article and image. I also wanted to thank you for the NAC on the deletion discussion. That reminds me, I watched your RFA and was certain it would pass with flying colors as you've been conducting yourself with the respect and dignity of an admin for a long time. I was saddened when it started focusing on the IRC stuff instead of all the work you have put in. The community can be rough that way and we've all seen good RFAs that degrade when focusing on a single incident. I'm sorry that happened in your case as you have been one of the best Wikipedians around. You, I, and many others know you'll be an outstanding admin in the future and it's a shame the community put you through all that stuff.

Thank you for your well-intentioned but nonetheless condescending messages, given that my contributions to the SVG page go back to 2009. You seem to have had no problem with the content until late last year. By your logic, Adobe SVG and SVG Web should be removed because there is no article link for them. The fact of the matter is that if you do a Google search on "svg plugin" the first two hits are Adobe SVG (which is no longer supported) and Ssrc SVG (which is supported). The SVG page has been abused as an advertising vehicle by addition (e.g., when SVG Web and Google Chrome Frame appeared they were featured ahead of pre-existing content) and removal (e.g., removing Ssrc SVG under the justification of WTAF while leaving Adobe SVG and SVG Web). I don't have the time, interest, or desire to deal with this nonsense. If I were to do as you suggest and write a page about Ssrc SVG, it would simply be removed as advertising (and justifiably so). Most of the product pages on Wikipedia are entirely inappropriate for a publication claiming to be an encyclopedia.
If adult professionals were curating the page, much of the content, including the entire "Support for SVG in web browsers" section would be removed because it consists of nothing but product plugs. But if people are going to plug products, they should at least plug the relevant ones (Corel SVG Viewer and Adobe SVG are no longer produced!). I was only trying to rectify the apparent product bias.

First of all, how goes the work for the FFU update? I don't do much work at FFU, but this patch seems really useful for the people that do help there. Another quick thing, I jotted down some bugs I noticed in my sandbox. Could you look into these? Thanks, Nathan2055 talk 18:20, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Are there rules against using a photo in more than one article, or is there a specific procedure to follow?? i recently made a series of revisions to the tattoo, temporary tattoo & body art articles. As part of those revisions i also inserted a ballpoint pen tattoo photo currently viewable in the Lennie Mace article, BUT, the image is not appearing in the revisions mentioned above. i believe someone may have already deleted the data from one of the articles because of this mistake. Any advice or assistance appreciated, thanks. Penwatchdog ( talk) 06:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
hi Mabdul, i just made the extensive revision i'd been planning. as i expected, there are problems with reference formatting; as far as i know, i did as i was instructed... anyway i'd like to ask you to take a look when you have a chance (or maybe someone else will get to it before you?). also, problem with the ballpoint tattoo photo i mentioned in another message have apparently been fixed by someone (THANKS to whomever!) BUT the same thing happened now when i added the same photo to the ballpoint art page. is there a procedure i'm missing that i can make note of for thwe future?

Hi Mabdul, thank you for reviewing my 'iDonate' submission to Wikipedia. I am also interested in becoming more involved in contributing to wikipedia. I am interested in the review process as this is my first article creation.
I look forward to your feedback on iDonate. I found some of the research difficult as there is no other provider offering this range of services. The online donations and fundraising pages are common - white label is unusual and not offered by others. SMS texting is very new and evolving.
The online charity shop is very unique and offers huge fundraising potential to the charities. Lots of charity shops see this as a new opportunity to raise much needed funds.
I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Paddy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poshpaddy ( talk • contribs) 14:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey there Mabdul. A couple of days ago I self-nom'ed the Lennie Mace article with a hook about his ballpoint pen Mona Lisa. I just noticed it was removed from that talk page (although it still appears on another page with all waiting noms), but it doesn't appear (yet) in the queue page. There may have been many flaws to the entry but... Any other way to track that besides just continuing to check the afformentioned pages? Penwatchdog ( talk) 03:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey there- I've just been chatting with the author about this article on IRC. It seems that there was an episode of Superquark (an Italian documentary series; see
Piero Angela for more details) specifically about this software, which, I believe, would be enough to render it notable, even without any other sources. I appreciate your concern about unverified claims; would it perhaps be possible for you to cut the problematic claims out of the draft? That way, the author can see what the page would look like, or get an idea of what needs to be sourced. Thanks,

If i may have a word... When AVS revieved the article, it was still without or with poor references in my humble opinion... Now, maybe the article is still not perfect, but for what i can see it does not lack reliable references. But now, i have to ask you something. In your revision you were worried about the notability of the subject, but now it has been shown. Now you say that it still lacks references. I can only assume that you do not agree with the creator of the page

Hi Mabdul, I am experiencing the above problem on eg. MyPrefs - gadgets, also on AfCHelper script, but it is not constant. It changes from time to time and page to page even in the same session. When it happens, it appears all over the place. Sometimes, I think, I log in and it works fine. I have tried purging server and browswer, I have tried searching for answers. I suspect it has something to do with my java installation. I came to you because I think you're very likely to have an idea what's causing it. I was using IE8 (Windows XP Home), found I couldn't use Twinkle and switched to Google Chrome. Wanted to install IRC. I went for an opensource option, RelayIRC, would not install, requirement specified JRE2. So installed JRE2, still wouldn't work, so I reinstalled JRE 7.5. It's more or less since then that I have the problem with the radio buttons etc. Do you have any helpful suggestions? David_FLXD (Talk) 05:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

In the your edit on May 17, 2012 you included IBM Lotus Symphony into {{ web browsers}}.

Hi Mabdul, sorry to bother you but I'd like to ask your for help/advice once again... I've been making numerous rewrites to my article for it to pass DYK. I'm aware it still needs work and I have no prob with that, BUT, before i proceed with further cuts/rewrites I'd like a third-party opinion on what definitely needs changing and what i can defend/challenge against DYK administrators. I wanna make sure if the article is indeed in that bad of shape OR am i dealing with an administrator on a power trip. Most annoying is one person who's continually calling everything promotional. Other claims of unreferenced material are understandable and I'm willing to part with if i can't dig up sources but... I don't have much more time to put into rewrites, paying-jobs to get to, etc! I haven't yet revised to meet the current list of complaints, but i plan on returning to it tomorrow and/or after hearing from you. thanks friend. Penwatchdog ( talk) 14:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey Mabdul, I was wondering what standard you used to determine if a Barnstar was a "2.0" or not. It seems the easiest standard would be that BS2.0 use the Hires image and other stars do not. But there are some listed 1.0 that use the Hires image, with no 2.0 listed, like The Video Games Barnstar, Geography Barnstar, Biography Barnstar, Buddhism Barnstar, World War Barnstar, iOS Barnstar, Telecommunications Barnstar, MediaWiki SysAdmins Barnstar, and the Research Participation Barnstar (ok, so that's an all-encompassing list).
Does it make sense to move those a column over, or were you using some other standard for which stars were 2.0? Cheers!

Here's some barnstars, you deserve them:
I don't know the rules about AfC and the standards for approving articles, but am surprised that an article like this has been reviewed and approved. The title is obviously wrong, the lead sentence isn't a sentence, there are capital letters all over the place, the link to ABC needs disambiguation, the references are all bare URLs.

Dear Mabdul,
Sorry to bother you again with this issue, but after having sent to Wikipedia all images copyrights months ago as it was required, we are still waiting to see the images in the article.
This is disappointing, as we spent a great deal of time preparing the article and getting the copyrights of the images.
Could you, please, find out why this is taken so long?
Many thanks

Dear Mabdul:
I was the CEO of SynCardia, the artificial heart company for 6 years, 2005 to 2011. During that time enormous strides were made in the evolution of the Artificial heart. The advancement of the drive system completely changed the paradigm. The older drive system weighed 400 pounds and a person was tethered to the hospital until a donor heart replaced the artificial heart. Today as a result of the Freedom 13.5 pound driver patients can leave the hospital and have the "Freedom" to live a very normal life. Also I see that much of the history of the artificial heart is absent going back to William Kolf who invented the artificial heart during WWII. I would like to update this page.

Because it's easier I will write in German:
Ich habe jetzt mal pauschal Einspruch eingelegt. In der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia bekommen wir das Logo auf jeden Fall mangels Schöpfungshöhe durch. Wenn man sich commons:Threshold of originality anschaut, dann liegen auch die Hürden für US nur unwesentlich höher. Ich sehe also nicht, wie diese Logos überhaupt Copyright-Verletzungen sein sollen, weil die Schöpfungshöhe gar nicht gegeben ist. Die Logos sind mit CC alle falsch lizenziert - OK, aber die Änderung auf den entsprechenden PD-Baustein ist wohl kaum das Problem. Die Einschränkungen, die auf der TorProject-Seite zu lesen sind, sind deshalb bezüglich Copyright völlig uninteressant, weil es bereits an den Voraussetzungen für das Copyright mangelt.
Nebenbei ergeben sich die auf der TorProject-Seite genannten Einschränkungen schon komplett aus dem Markenrecht. Die zielen also auch gar nicht auf das Copyright ab, sondern stellen lediglich die Markenrechtssituation dar. Das wird schon allein daraus deutlich, dass sie es als "Trademark-FAQ" bezeichnen, nicht als Coypright-FAQ. Sie gehen also selbst nicht von einem Copyright-Schutz aus. -- Entzücklopädie ( talk) 23:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mabdul, I am surprised that the page submitted is empty as I spent quite abit of time on it. Is it because I have left empty spaces before the line that is not supposed to be removed?

Can I repost here for you to see what's wrong? The funny thing is that I am now unable to edit or repost anything, as Pressebot adminstrator decided I was an open proxy and blocked me suddenly.

articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

I contacted the photographer of this picture ( http://www.richardmandelkornphoto.com/images/work/healthcare/Beth%20Israel%20Deaconess%20Medical%20Center%20%20Shepley%20Bulfinch,%20architect-03ctf.jpg) and he has given express permission for me to post that photograph on the Wikipedia article. How do I do that? What options do I select and how do I label it and express the proper rationale?
Thanks NeoTLmed ( talk) 22:58, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Raeky. Bummer, it seems I won't be able to upload the picture if the copyright holder has to agree to free use. It is a proprietary photograph that he has only allowed for use on Wikipedia. Thanks anyway. NeoTLmed ( talk) 16:44, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Last week i had contacted you regardign the Gaetani or Caetani family code of Arms, with reference that on the wikipedia page only a sub (more simplistic) code of arms was being shown. I had asked you to please insert an assitional (more comprehensive and complete) or Actual code of arms for the Gaetani Family.
Subsequantly to my request you very kindly accepted and proceeded to modify the page by adding the additional code of arms.
I am contacting you again because i visited the wikipedia page of the gaetani family (located on the italian Wikipedia) and there hasen't been any modifications or additions to the page. Can you please make sure that the modifications have occured?
If the modifications havent been made then please upload this one: (as it is the original code of arms)
Thank you kindly, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.52.104 ( talk) 21:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mabdul. I stopped by to say thanks for helping User:Penwatchdog with the I AM THE BEST ARTIST Rene article and image. I also wanted to thank you for the NAC on the deletion discussion. That reminds me, I watched your RFA and was certain it would pass with flying colors as you've been conducting yourself with the respect and dignity of an admin for a long time. I was saddened when it started focusing on the IRC stuff instead of all the work you have put in. The community can be rough that way and we've all seen good RFAs that degrade when focusing on a single incident. I'm sorry that happened in your case as you have been one of the best Wikipedians around. You, I, and many others know you'll be an outstanding admin in the future and it's a shame the community put you through all that stuff. So I just wanted to recognize your efforts here and present you with this.
Keep up the good work. 64.40.54.146 ( talk) 20:49, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
"as an IP (is it a hand full or not?)"I would guess there are about 50 or so IP users that help out in WP/WT. I probably notice them more because I'm an IP. I think IPs also notice the really helpful users more than registered users do. That's why I left the thank you note, because I noticed how much you help other people.

Thank you for your well-intentioned but nonetheless condescending messages, given that my contributions to the SVG page go back to 2009. You seem to have had no problem with the content until late last year. By your logic, Adobe SVG and SVG Web should be removed because there is no article link for them. The fact of the matter is that if you do a Google search on "svg plugin" the first two hits are Adobe SVG (which is no longer supported) and Ssrc SVG (which is supported). The SVG page has been abused as an advertising vehicle by addition (e.g., when SVG Web and Google Chrome Frame appeared they were featured ahead of pre-existing content) and removal (e.g., removing Ssrc SVG under the justification of WTAF while leaving Adobe SVG and SVG Web). I don't have the time, interest, or desire to deal with this nonsense. If I were to do as you suggest and write a page about Ssrc SVG, it would simply be removed as advertising (and justifiably so). Most of the product pages on Wikipedia are entirely inappropriate for a publication claiming to be an encyclopedia.
If adult professionals were curating the page, much of the content, including the entire "Support for SVG in web browsers" section would be removed because it consists of nothing but product plugs. But if people are going to plug products, they should at least plug the relevant ones (Corel SVG Viewer and Adobe SVG are no longer produced!). I was only trying to rectify the apparent product bias.

Hi Mabdul, any idea why the bot does not seem to be moving resubmit tags from the bottom of the page. I am having to manually clean up almost every page I review. It is also not removing 'draft' tags from submissions that are awaiting review? Pol430 talk to me 23:06, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Are there rules against using a photo in more than one article, or is there a specific procedure to follow?? i recently made a series of revisions to the tattoo, temporary tattoo & body art articles. As part of those revisions i also inserted a ballpoint pen tattoo photo currently viewable in the Lennie Mace article, BUT, the image is not appearing in the revisions mentioned above. i believe someone may have already deleted the data from one of the articles because of this mistake. Any advice or assistance appreciated, thanks. Penwatchdog ( talk) 06:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
hi Mabdul, i just made the extensive revision i'd been planning. as i expected, there are problems with reference formatting; as far as i know, i did as i was instructed... anyway i'd like to ask you to take a look when you have a chance (or maybe someone else will get to it before you?). also, problem with the ballpoint tattoo photo i mentioned in another message have apparently been fixed by someone (THANKS to whomever!) BUT the same thing happened now when i added the same photo to the ballpoint art page. is there a procedure i'm missing that i can make note of for thwe future?

Hi Mabdul, thank you for reviewing my 'iDonate' submission to Wikipedia. I am also interested in becoming more involved in contributing to wikipedia. I am interested in the review process as this is my first article creation.
I look forward to your feedback on iDonate. I found some of the research difficult as there is no other provider offering this range of services. The online donations and fundraising pages are common - white label is unusual and not offered by others. SMS texting is very new and evolving.
The online charity shop is very unique and offers huge fundraising potential to the charities. Lots of charity shops see this as a new opportunity to raise much needed funds.
I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Paddy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poshpaddy ( talk • contribs) 14:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey there Mabdul. A couple of days ago I self-nom'ed the Lennie Mace article with a hook about his ballpoint pen Mona Lisa. I just noticed it was removed from that talk page (although it still appears on another page with all waiting noms), but it doesn't appear (yet) in the queue page. There may have been many flaws to the entry but... Any other way to track that besides just continuing to check the afformentioned pages? Penwatchdog ( talk) 03:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey there- I've just been chatting with the author about this article on IRC. It seems that there was an episode of Superquark (an Italian documentary series; see
Piero Angela for more details) specifically about this software, which, I believe, would be enough to render it notable, even without any other sources. I appreciate your concern about unverified claims; would it perhaps be possible for you to cut the problematic claims out of the draft? That way, the author can see what the page would look like, or get an idea of what needs to be sourced. Thanks,

If i may have a word... When AVS revieved the article, it was still without or with poor references in my humble opinion... Now, maybe the article is still not perfect, but for what i can see it does not lack reliable references. But now, i have to ask you something. In your revision you were worried about the notability of the subject, but now it has been shown. Now you say that it still lacks references. I can only assume that you do not agree with the creator of the page

Hi Mabdul, I am experiencing the above problem on eg. MyPrefs - gadgets, also on AfCHelper script, but it is not constant. It changes from time to time and page to page even in the same session. When it happens, it appears all over the place. Sometimes, I think, I log in and it works fine. I have tried purging server and browswer, I have tried searching for answers. I suspect it has something to do with my java installation. I came to you because I think you're very likely to have an idea what's causing it. I was using IE8 (Windows XP Home), found I couldn't use Twinkle and switched to Google Chrome. Wanted to install IRC. I went for an opensource option, RelayIRC, would not install, requirement specified JRE2. So installed JRE2, still wouldn't work, so I reinstalled JRE 7.5. It's more or less since then that I have the problem with the radio buttons etc. Do you have any helpful suggestions? David_FLXD (Talk) 05:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

In the your edit on May 17, 2012 you included IBM Lotus Symphony into {{ web browsers}}.

Hi Mabdul, sorry to bother you but I'd like to ask your for help/advice once again... I've been making numerous rewrites to my article for it to pass DYK. I'm aware it still needs work and I have no prob with that, BUT, before i proceed with further cuts/rewrites I'd like a third-party opinion on what definitely needs changing and what i can defend/challenge against DYK administrators. I wanna make sure if the article is indeed in that bad of shape OR am i dealing with an administrator on a power trip. Most annoying is one person who's continually calling everything promotional. Other claims of unreferenced material are understandable and I'm willing to part with if i can't dig up sources but... I don't have much more time to put into rewrites, paying-jobs to get to, etc! I haven't yet revised to meet the current list of complaints, but i plan on returning to it tomorrow and/or after hearing from you. thanks friend. Penwatchdog ( talk) 14:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
