Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum
Hello! I'm sorry, but the edit summary for the removal of this information is quite explicit: this level of detail is unnecessary for a main overview article; for more detail, see that article's talk page. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 11:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that most of the issues mentioned in the Pink Floyd FA candidacy have been addressed, if you want to have a look (audio clips aren't there yet due to some technical issues, and I can't make anyone unfamiliar with the band go over it :)).

"Hello, if you have a problem with the way we have made the Mohammad Reza Shah article, please talk about it "
I'm sorry but fixing grammatical inconsistencies and certain spelling errors is not something you revert back. Furthermore, the article lacks detail and a wide scope of examples and sources which would further explain the events and people described in the article. Adding these is not something you should revert back. Could you please explain why you removed my work? Entezar
Sorry but neither you or anyone else has ownership over that article and I saw no conversation about translation of the styles. If you have a problem my edits (adding translations back to it) feel free to talk about it in the talk page and then I will discuss them, until then, I am reverting your revert which has no basis but your imaginery ownership over it --

What makes you state that the acronym SAVAK could not be preceded by an article "the" ?? Supposedly in contrast to "The CIA" ?? SAVAK stands for the words: Sazman-e Amniat va Etela'at-e Keshvar (Persian for: State Agency in charge of Security and Intelligence). Therefor please note that an article "the" would be in place the same way it would be for CIA, in stark contrast to your assertion. -- Pantherarosa 00:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I've added the future game template to the some references for the bugs in Final Fantasy VI and some additional references throughout the article. However, as far as the other things you mentioned go, there's quite a lot of criticism in there already, and the new FMV cutscenes (if those are what you were referring to) are already mentioned. Please see the FAC for a more in-depth response, and also let us know if it's enough to turn the "Oppose" around. Thanks. Ryu Kaze 20:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

As i explained all images should start with intruduction of a section not the headline, just take a look at all other articles in wikipedia, also the images permission is given by the webadress i mentioned in the images summary. I appreciate that you have worked on the article, but wikipedia does not belong to anyone, we are all here to edit, and i will be editing that article more in the future. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
You wrote: nor did you provide accurate licensing information.

Furthermore if you continue to remove images i will have to report=block. Thank you. Spahbod ☼ 04:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I think you should worry about breaking Wikipedia:Three-revert rule more than me. I will now report you for destructive behavior. Again keep in mind that articles in wikipedia do not belong to anyone. Once again take a look at other articles to see where images should be placed, you can learn more about editing in wikipedia help. Also comments like you did about me spell checking at least, such comments will get you blocked from editing, instead of sending personal attacks, fix the spelling. The article is far away from FA which you seem to desire, and again i will be editing that article in the future, if you will be uncooprative and wage further revert wars you will be blocked, so simple is that. Good luck -- Spahbod ☼ 04:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from making further personal attacks or you will be blocked. You wrote: The least you could have done was spellcheck your edits to the article. Such behavior and waging revert wars, deleting fair images etc is NOT permitted in wikipedia, please read the policies to understand the rules better. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
By saying deleted i meant deleted from the article, not deleted from wikipedia, please see wikipedia help for further information. The image licenses are what they say they are. Consider this a warning and do not change license information on images or you will be blocked for vandalism. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Deleting image info is vandalism. In the future refrain from doing that. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 05:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I am afraid the disscussion is over. You only seem to be interested in deleting images and changing their info. Sending personal attacks and reverting. You have been reported for this, in the future please be cooperative. As i mentioned before i will be working on that article. -- Spahbod ☼ 05:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Sending false information and accusations to user KwH is not helping you.

Sorry for not getting back earlier, but-
I checked the guidelines, and found the normal list (I assume you've seen that). I'm fairly sure there was something about appending them in front of a title somewhere, I remember seeing it, but I can't find it as of now. Anyway, my reasoning was: the initial policy was enacted because people were complaining about royalty being styled in an article-therefore the regulation about infoboxes and not prefacing them was added. While I can't find the guideline now, I think it would apply if extrapolated to anywhere where royalty are directly described by a style, ie HM King X or whatever, which is why the HRH's have been trimmed out of most articles. Nontheless, I can't find the rule, so it's fine if you want to rv it. Thanks,

Thanks for your comments re the featured biography page. I had to bring up the Frank Lloyd Wright thing though - I am very curious as to how anyone could think him more important and influential than Le Corbusier. LC was probably the most important pioneer of Modernist architecture, whose ideas, buildings and techniques transformed the face of most cities in the twentieth century. FLW was certainly famous and talented, but had virtually no influence on architecture: rather like Gaudi, he will be remembered as taking architecture up an interesting cul-de-sac.-- Stonemad GB 23:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi SG!
I knew they'd be controversy over whatever decision the closer of this nom made! Anyway I personally feel that it wasn't closed correctly. Here are the points of my case: ;-)
If there are multiple edits, and someone specifies their preference to the edit, unless specifically stated (such as with Diliff) there vote is only for that edit - and therefore they oppose all other edits. So that is why "oppose" votes to edits are usually discounted (for instance I could have opposed edits 1-3 but that isn't necessary).
Therefore by a straight vote count edit 4 has the majority:
Original - 2
Edit 1 - 0
Edit 2 - 6
Edit 3 - 3
Edit 2/3 - 1
Edit 4 - 7
Edit 5 - 0
Any edit - 4
See what you think --

Thanks for uploading Image:Miahamm jump cropped.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ZidaneHeadbutt.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I see you think it is irrelevant, but then why don't you remove the pieces mentioning that the empire was the greatest ever seen etc.?

Hi SG. This days I'm buried under books that have little in connection to Cyrus, so I'm affraid I'll have little time to do anything for some weeks. I suggest you, if you want to begin, to take a look at Pierre Briant's From Cyrus to Alexander, there must be something there. There are also publications of the archaeological work at Pasargadae by David Stronach, but my local libraries are quite empty about such matters (perhaps yours are better equipped).

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation.

"Hello, if you have a problem with the way we have made the Mohammad Reza Shah article, please talk about it "
I'm sorry but fixing grammatical inconsistencies and certain spelling errors is not something you revert back. Furthermore, the article lacks detail and a wide scope of examples and sources which would further explain the events and people described in the article. Adding these is not something you should revert back. Could you please explain why you removed my work? Entezar
Sorry but neither you or anyone else has ownership over that article and I saw no conversation about translation of the styles. If you have a problem my edits (adding translations back to it) feel free to talk about it in the talk page and then I will discuss them, until then, I am reverting your revert which has no basis but your imaginery ownership over it --

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.

What makes you state that the acronym SAVAK could not be preceded by an article "the" ?? Supposedly in contrast to "The CIA" ?? SAVAK stands for the words: Sazman-e Amniat va Etela'at-e Keshvar (Persian for: State Agency in charge of Security and Intelligence). Therefor please note that an article "the" would be in place the same way it would be for CIA, in stark contrast to your assertion. -- Pantherarosa 00:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I've added the future game template to the some references for the bugs in Final Fantasy VI and some additional references throughout the article. However, as far as the other things you mentioned go, there's quite a lot of criticism in there already, and the new FMV cutscenes (if those are what you were referring to) are already mentioned. Please see the FAC for a more in-depth response, and also let us know if it's enough to turn the "Oppose" around. Thanks. Ryu Kaze 20:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry. I thought that the image was from http://www.livius.org, but actually this page states crearly that they took it from the British Museum. I'll try to be more carefull in the future. -- Amizzoni 03:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
As i explained all images should start with intruduction of a section not the headline, just take a look at all other articles in wikipedia, also the images permission is given by the webadress i mentioned in the images summary. I appreciate that you have worked on the article, but wikipedia does not belong to anyone, we are all here to edit, and i will be editing that article more in the future. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
You wrote: nor did you provide accurate licensing information. I suggest you take a look at the image summary, licence is there along with information on where i got the image and the permission to use it. Furthermore if you continue to remove images i will have to report=block. Thank you. Spahbod ☼ 04:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I think you should worry about breaking Wikipedia:Three-revert rule more than me. I will now report you for destructive behavior. Again keep in mind that articles in wikipedia do not belong to anyone. Once again take a look at other articles to see where images should be placed, you can learn more about editing in wikipedia help. Also comments like you did about me spell checking at least, such comments will get you blocked from editing, instead of sending personal attacks, fix the spelling. The article is far away from FA which you seem to desire, and again i will be editing that article in the future, if you will be uncooprative and wage further revert wars you will be blocked, so simple is that. Good luck -- Spahbod ☼ 04:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from making further personal attacks or you will be blocked. You wrote: The least you could have done was spellcheck your edits to the article. Such behavior and waging revert wars, deleting fair images etc is NOT permitted in wikipedia, please read the policies to understand the rules better. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
By saying deleted i meant deleted from the article, not deleted from wikipedia, please see wikipedia help for further information. The image licenses are what they say they are. Consider this a warning and do not change license information on images or you will be blocked for vandalism. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 04:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Deleting image info is vandalism. In the future refrain from doing that. Thank you. -- Spahbod ☼ 05:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I am afraid the disscussion is over. You only seem to be interested in deleting images and changing their info. Sending personal attacks and reverting. You have been reported for this, in the future please be cooperative. As i mentioned before i will be working on that article. -- Spahbod ☼ 05:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Sending false information and accusations to user KwH is not helping you. Again i will be editing the Cyrus article you worked on, so if you want it to go esay you have to be cooperative, i suggest you calm down and remember that i am not your enemy :). Thank you, -- Spahbod ☼ 18:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting back earlier, but-
I checked the guidelines, and found the normal list (I assume you've seen that). I'm fairly sure there was something about appending them in front of a title somewhere, I remember seeing it, but I can't find it as of now. Anyway, my reasoning was: the initial policy was enacted because people were complaining about royalty being styled in an article-therefore the regulation about infoboxes and not prefacing them was added. While I can't find the guideline now, I think it would apply if extrapolated to anywhere where royalty are directly described by a style, ie HM King X or whatever, which is why the HRH's have been trimmed out of most articles. Nontheless, I can't find the rule, so it's fine if you want to rv it. Thanks,

The problem was that you were trying to inflate one paragraph into two. Really all

Nice picture!
Thanks for your comments re the featured biography page. I had to bring up the Frank Lloyd Wright thing though - I am very curious as to how anyone could think him more important and influential than Le Corbusier. LC was probably the most important pioneer of Modernist architecture, whose ideas, buildings and techniques transformed the face of most cities in the twentieth century. FLW was certainly famous and talented, but had virtually no influence on architecture: rather like Gaudi, he will be remembered as taking architecture up an interesting cul-de-sac.-- Stonemad GB 23:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi SG!
I knew they'd be controversy over whatever decision the closer of this nom made! Anyway I personally feel that it wasn't closed correctly. Here are the points of my case: ;-)
If there are multiple edits, and someone specifies their preference to the edit, unless specifically stated (such as with Diliff) there vote is only for that edit - and therefore they oppose all other edits. So that is why "oppose" votes to edits are usually discounted (for instance I could have opposed edits 1-3 but that isn't necessary).
Therefore by a straight vote count edit 4 has the majority:
Original - 2
Edit 1 - 0
Edit 2 - 6
Edit 3 - 3
Edit 2/3 - 1
Edit 4 - 7
Edit 5 - 0
Any edit - 4
See what you think --

[2] [3] It appears that the permission was archived in OTRS. And I'm sure it was taken by Jona Lendering, because he referred to it as "my old photograph". The label "British Museum, London", bellow the picture [4], means that it was taken in the Britush Museum. Otherwise, he would indicate it with a ©!!!, as he usually do.

Thanks for uploading Image:Miahamm jump cropped.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

I see you've done a great job protecting such pages as Cyrus the Great against damage.

Firstly, thanks for pointing out that I hadn't removed them from the main page; I must have copied instead of cut when archiving them. This is my first time doing this since the university semester ended, but I have closed an awful lot of FPC nominations, infact there used to be a time when I was pretty much the only one doing them. That hasn't been for a while though so I apologise if there have been some changes in practice since then. I'll go through the noms one by one and explain what I was thinking (or not thinking in several cases):
Thanks for pointing out your concerns. I feel kind of bad now that I jumped in and messed everything up... I'll relist those two right now, and if you want to do anything else please go ahead. Raven4x4x 14:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, I thought you would like to know that the Barbary ape photo has been promoted. (I would have expected them to have left you a message.) Anyhow, thanks - Chris Buttigieg talk 14:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that I've uploaded a couple of new edits of the whipped slave image for consideration. They may help with the image quality discussion. MamaGeek ( talk/ contrib) 14:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Would you please at least stop changing "isbn" to ISBN when you continue to revert to the version that includes the modern Persian name?! roozbeh 16:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. I was just looking at Template:Achaemenid-tree and it seems to be quite nice. I just wanted to note that my source has a different name for grandfather/grandmother of Darius III. While you call him "Ostanes", this (a Persian translation of Kent's Old Persian: Grammar, Text, Glossary) says "Artostes" (it does not mention his/her sex). Would you please mention your source? roozbeh 16:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I recall that you did some great color correction work on the BC Parliment photo. I was wondering if you could help me with one of my images that has a similar problem. It might be more difficult becase the sky has clouds in it. How is it that you performed that correction? Did you edit it manually or use some type of special software that I'm not aware of. Thanks, Cacophony 19:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ZidaneHeadbutt.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 11:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Mohammad_Reza_Shah-Leaving_Iran.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Achaemenid Empire. | |
Languages | Persian, Elamite, Aramaic |
---|---|
Religions | There was no official state religion. Zoroastrianism and numerous others religions, such as Judaism, were practiced. |
Capitals |
Anshan, Babylon, Persepolis, Pasargadae, Susa |
Area | Near East |
Existed | 559 - 330 BCE |
I see you think it is irrelevant, but then why don't you remove the pieces mentioning that the empire was the greatest ever seen etc.? It may sound stupid but you don't really clarify the irrelevance of the sheer mentioning the capital of the greatest empire seen by that time. You haven't answered my last question, I wonder why. Mallerd 18:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. If you have the time, please have a look at this [9]. Since you have been contributing to the article in the past, I wonder if you have any comments. Shervink 15:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. Please have a look at this, since you are listed as an involved party on this request. Shervink 14:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi SG. This days I'm buried under books that have little in connection to Cyrus, so I'm affraid I'll have little time to do anything for some weeks. I suggest you, if you want to begin, to take a look at Pierre Briant's From Cyrus to Alexander, there must be something there. There are also publications of the archaeological work at Pasargadae by David Stronach, but my local libraries are quite empty about such matters (perhaps yours are better equipped).

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

There is a new extremely professional re-edit from my original RAW file by Richard Bartz, and I'd urge you to vote for this instead of my own imperfect Photoshop efforts. Thanks very much to Richard for the work he's put in.
