Sorry for the belated response. I had to stay away from serious editing WP for some time.
The problem with Fair use images is that, the criteria changes very often. So, even though the rationale was fine at the time the image was used, perhaps at a later time the rationale criteria changed. As a result, a bot probably tagged the image, and it got deleted.
So, better keep the image on your watchlist. -- Ragib ( talk) 18:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I promise to check tomorrow. Right now I'm a bit pressed against time (have been neglecting my own GA nominee for weeks). A quick look tells me that the article has become a formidable piece. There still are a few problems with sourcing (like the arrival of the first Bangladeshi to Brick Lane isn't sourced yet). But, on the whole... a great job. Wow!
I'll try to fix the WP:MOS issues myself (see, I'd prefer to do the easy bit... hahaha). And, I promise to be there to take this through GA. As for FA, seriously, the new quality standards has made it much more difficult. So, may be, you'll need to improve it to a formidable status before going for that (and, ideally, a few peer reviews). Cheers. Aditya( talk • contribs) 20:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the 'Religions by ethnic group' table to this article. It's certainly a useful addition, but I wonder whether it is wise to flags to identify ethnic groups. There isn't a complete correspondence between ethnicity and political boundaries, and this has the potential to stir up passions amongst nationalists of all descriptions without adding any extra information.

Go to the preference page (the link is on the upper right hand corner of you Wikipedia page coming right after the "M Miah" link and "my talk" link). There you'll see a signature window coming just before the language window. Put the formatting codes for your signature into that window (sans the timestamp, which is the date and time showing after your signature). If you are unsure what kind of a format you want, blatantly steal codes from a signature that you like (there are plenty good signatures around). Test your new signature at Wikipedia:Sandbox, it's the page everybody uses for experiments. Try not to make your signature too heavy, and avoid using images of any kind. For more check Wikipedia:Signatures (and if you are still unsure check out Wikipedia:SIGHELP).

Thank you for uploading Image:Brick lane wallpaper.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia 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 under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. J Milburn ( talk) 12:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Also i don't understand why did you remove house of the virgin mary from the article Turkey. Because it is very important shrine for both muslims and christians and 3 Popes visited it in the past and declared it a holy place. But i have to say that i like your contribs in Template:Islam.

Hi there, I got your message about merging articles. I can understand where your coming from. I primarily set up wrote the article because I didn't agree with the population estimates given in the article even the ONS ones. Any suggestions?
One very important point to note the ONS do not record birthrates for individual ethnic groups, thus any figures they provide on population should be treated with great caution! ONS also have problems getting acurate ethnicity data especially from local government. They made similar projections for the 2001 census which proved to be highly inacurate. I obviously though have no issues with the 2001 census figures. I will continue to search for authoritive sources on the birthrates of British Bangladeshis, I read in a journal recently it was 13 per 1000 but am trying to remember journal's name. If for the sake of argument the ONS figures are broadly correct, the 2005 figure indicates a circa 15% increase on 2001, but the 2008 figure you quote only 3 years later represents a much higher % increase which is unexplained. Perhaps you could flag your population stats as disputed. I like the rest of your article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethnic demographics ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I need your opinion on something. I even consider you as a friend that is why I need advice. I have the message to two admins but I want to hear your opinion on this because one user is being bullied out of Wikipedia, and I cannot stand for someone particularly him with his constructive edits to be forced to leave. I would like you to respond please, I feel such pity towards a good contributor. This is what I left with the admins:
"I have been monitoring the telescope article talkpage and clearly user: InternetHero feels distressed by the continuous edit warring that is happening in the article. The issue is the invention of the telescope and its history. Other articles state that Arab scientists created the telescope. I have looked and discussed and researched the issue and I too feel insulted when the debate is discussed. However I have seen that some users have reverted many of the above users edit even when he provided citations. I think this is the most important issue. Relevant information is not being added and clearly violates WP:POV. I have sources to support that above users statements with citations. user:DigitalC and user:Deamon138 are the ones doing so.
Furthermore there is no mention on the History of the telescope within the article, just a consensus on European involvement only whereas the Timeline of the Telescope clearly states Egyption, Islamic and Italian scienctists involvement among a few others.

Hi, I moved your changes down into the text, as Spitalfields only forms a part of the council ward with that name. There doesn't tend to be an identity (in wikipedia) between districts and council wards - since the latter get reorganised about every 10-12 years in order to keep a rough equivalence between the residents in each ward. Hope that doesn't cause too many problems. cheers Kbthompson ( talk) 18:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Please do not revert other editors' edits as you did on the above-mentioned article. First off, one little controversy does not need four references, two of which, in this case, carry the same text. Also, two of these sources are unreliable. For that please read WP:RS.
Secondly, you have no authority to decide and determine what needs and what needs not a copyedit. Your version consisted some grammar mistakes, was incohorent, and much of the text read like a blog (They celebrated this event with their families and friend ... every year ... whom currently are requested..?) Additionally, this fatwa is very similar to the one mentioned in the first paragraph of this section; much detail is not needed. Wikipedia is an ongoing project, saying that something does not need a copyedit is ridiculous, considering you are not the owner of this site and there will always be better editors than you and me.
Checking the revisions, I see you fully reverted my edits, including my additions in other places, and my removal of a spam link. It clearly shows that you just full reverted to your own version, with no consideration or observation. It is considered vandalism.
In order to prevent an edit war, I ask you, if you think something of what was removed by me should be kept (basically unnecessary and over-the-top detail), please refer to the article talk page and we'll discuss it there. Shahid • Talk2me 23:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I would say that your user names are a bit misleading, but you are not using them as socks. They do, after all, redirect to your page, which is quite the opposite of a sock - I would suggest, however, that you list them all clearly on your primary user page. That is to say "Hi, I'm Tangomaan, aka (List of all other User Names you have)."
You were blocked for continuing to edit war on the Turkey page after I warned you. It was a short block, but if the edit war continues I will increase block times incrementally. I blocked the Shup socks as well. Right now you two are pretty much the only one's editing that article, and you are both making a complete mess of it. This is probably the reason why you two are the only ones editing it. I would advise you to maybe take a few days away from the Turkey article, just as I would advise Shup to do the same (and I have no doubt he is reading this). While Shup is obviously a head-case, you need to understand that your attempts to force what is actually fairly POV information into a politically charged article is counter-productive.
He's a nationalist. You're some kind of religious fundamentalist. That's fine, but you need to recognize that this makes you both subjective editors. Your editing on Wikipedia needs to be an intellectual exercise in objectivity, rather than a battlefield in whatever propaganda war you find yourself personally invested. The role of Religion and political secularism in Turkey will not be defined or decided by the Wikipedia article on Turkey. Trust me on this. If you introduce something to the article that is NPOV and well cited, then it is my duty to police the article and ensure that it is not removed for malicious reasons. However, to date you have been editing in an excessively pointy fashion that is only serving to fire up the lunatics who don't share your vision. Canvassing for votes, and constantly reverting the article is not a valuable use of your time.
In fact, I would be more than happy to help you NPOV whatever language you are trying to get into the article, but you need to understand that I am not going to vote or endorse anything. My role as an administrator is not to enforce any particular point of view. Hiberniantears ( talk) 18:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I promise to check tomorrow. Right now I'm a bit pressed against time (have been neglecting my own GA nominee for weeks). A quick look tells me that the article has become a formidable piece. There still are a few problems with sourcing (like the arrival of the first Bangladeshi to Brick Lane isn't sourced yet). But, on the whole... a great job. Wow!
I'll try to fix the WP:MOS issues myself (see, I'd prefer to do the easy bit... hahaha). And, I promise to be there to take this through GA. As for FA, seriously, the new quality standards has made it much more difficult. So, may be, you'll need to improve it to a formidable status before going for that (and, ideally, a few peer reviews). Cheers. Aditya( talk • contribs) 20:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I have not reviewed an article for GA status in almost a year, nor contributed to the GA process since then, or even edited Wikipedia until very recently. There are far better candidates than me to review this article for you right now. Homestarmy ( talk) 23:55, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the 'Religions by ethnic group' table to this article. It's certainly a useful addition, but I wonder whether it is wise to flags to identify ethnic groups. There isn't a complete correspondence between ethnicity and political boundaries, and this has the potential to stir up passions amongst nationalists of all descriptions without adding any extra information.

By the way, that "noeditsection" code on this page is making it difficult to post to your talk page. If that was not your intention, may be you'd like to consider removing it. If you didn't have that code, I could've made this comment in the appropriate section.

Go to the preference page (the link is on the upper right hand corner of you Wikipedia page coming right after the "M Miah" link and "my talk" link). There you'll see a signature window coming just before the language window. Put the formatting codes for your signature into that window (sans the timestamp, which is the date and time showing after your signature). If you are unsure what kind of a format you want, blatantly steal codes from a signature that you like (there are plenty good signatures around). Test your new signature at Wikipedia:Sandbox, it's the page everybody uses for experiments. Try not to make your signature too heavy, and avoid using images of any kind. For more check Wikipedia:Signatures (and if you are still unsure check out Wikipedia:SIGHELP).

Hi M: honestly this is a large article and I lack the time and subject matter expertise to do a complete GA review of this artcile. But don't you worry, since this article is now listed for review, sooner or later it will get reviewed. One point though: I tried to verify the numbers in the table at the demographics section - but couldn't do it easily. Is it possible to give more direct references for these numbers?

Thank you for uploading Image:Brick lane wallpaper.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia 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 under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. J Milburn ( talk) 12:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I saw that you added some extra information without consensus in Turkey section of Hijab. I think it is not nesecerry and not neutral. Because serveys like that are made by islamists and they don't show the truth. When other users see, they will remove it immediatelly. Also i don't understand why did you remove house of the virgin mary from the article Turkey. Because it is very important shrine for both muslims and christians and 3 Popes visited it in the past and declared it a holy place. But i have to say that i like your contribs in Template:Islam.

Hi there, I got your message about merging articles. I can understand where your coming from. I primarily set up wrote the article because I didn't agree with the population estimates given in the article even the ONS ones. Any suggestions?
One very important point to note the ONS do not record birthrates for individual ethnic groups, thus any figures they provide on population should be treated with great caution! ONS also have problems getting acurate ethnicity data especially from local government. They made similar projections for the 2001 census which proved to be highly inacurate. I obviously though have no issues with the 2001 census figures. I will continue to search for authoritive sources on the birthrates of British Bangladeshis, I read in a journal recently it was 13 per 1000 but am trying to remember journal's name. If for the sake of argument the ONS figures are broadly correct, the 2005 figure indicates a circa 15% increase on 2001, but the 2008 figure you quote only 3 years later represents a much higher % increase which is unexplained. Perhaps you could flag your population stats as disputed. I like the rest of your article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethnic demographics ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I need your opinion on something. I even consider you as a friend that is why I need advice. I have the message to two admins but I want to hear your opinion on this because one user is being bullied out of Wikipedia, and I cannot stand for someone particularly him with his constructive edits to be forced to leave. I would like you to respond please, I feel such pity towards a good contributor. This is what I left with the admins:
"I have been monitoring the telescope article talkpage and clearly user: InternetHero feels distressed by the continuous edit warring that is happening in the article. The issue is the invention of the telescope and its history. Other articles state that Arab scientists created the telescope. I have looked and discussed and researched the issue and I too feel insulted when the debate is discussed. However I have seen that some users have reverted many of the above users edit even when he provided citations. I think this is the most important issue. Relevant information is not being added and clearly violates WP:POV. I have sources to support that above users statements with citations. user:DigitalC and user:Deamon138 are the ones doing so.
Furthermore there is no mention on the History of the telescope within the article, just a consensus on European involvement only whereas the Timeline of the Telescope clearly states Egyption, Islamic and Italian scienctists involvement among a few others. I will the raising the issue with another admin also." Lord of Moria (Avicenna) Talk Contribs 20:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I moved your changes down into the text, as Spitalfields only forms a part of the council ward with that name. There doesn't tend to be an identity (in wikipedia) between districts and council wards - since the latter get reorganised about every 10-12 years in order to keep a rough equivalence between the residents in each ward. Hope that doesn't cause too many problems. cheers Kbthompson ( talk) 18:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Please do not revert other editors' edits as you did on the above-mentioned article. First off, one little controversy does not need four references, two of which, in this case, carry the same text. Also, two of these sources are unreliable. For that please read WP:RS.
Secondly, you have no authority to decide and determine what needs and what needs not a copyedit. Your version consisted some grammar mistakes, was incohorent, and much of the text read like a blog (They celebrated this event with their families and friend ... every year ... whom currently are requested..?) Additionally, this fatwa is very similar to the one mentioned in the first paragraph of this section; much detail is not needed. Wikipedia is an ongoing project, saying that something does not need a copyedit is ridiculous, considering you are not the owner of this site and there will always be better editors than you and me.
Checking the revisions, I see you fully reverted my edits, including my additions in other places, and my removal of a spam link. It clearly shows that you just full reverted to your own version, with no consideration or observation. It is considered vandalism.
In order to prevent an edit war, I ask you, if you think something of what was removed by me should be kept (basically unnecessary and over-the-top detail), please refer to the article talk page and we'll discuss it there. Shahid • Talk2me 23:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I just want to be clear with you on the Turkey issue. You are going out of your way to antagonize the Shup socks. Turkey, as an article, is a lost cause. It changes radically every five minutes.

I would say that your user names are a bit misleading, but you are not using them as socks. They do, after all, redirect to your page, which is quite the opposite of a sock - I would suggest, however, that you list them all clearly on your primary user page. That is to say "Hi, I'm Tangomaan, aka (List of all other User Names you have)."
You were blocked for continuing to edit war on the Turkey page after I warned you. It was a short block, but if the edit war continues I will increase block times incrementally. I blocked the Shup socks as well. Right now you two are pretty much the only one's editing that article, and you are both making a complete mess of it. This is probably the reason why you two are the only ones editing it. I would advise you to maybe take a few days away from the Turkey article, just as I would advise Shup to do the same (and I have no doubt he is reading this). While Shup is obviously a head-case, you need to understand that your attempts to force what is actually fairly POV information into a politically charged article is counter-productive.
He's a nationalist. You're some kind of religious fundamentalist. That's fine, but you need to recognize that this makes you both subjective editors. Your editing on Wikipedia needs to be an intellectual exercise in objectivity, rather than a battlefield in whatever propaganda war you find yourself personally invested. The role of Religion and political secularism in Turkey will not be defined or decided by the Wikipedia article on Turkey. Trust me on this. If you introduce something to the article that is NPOV and well cited, then it is my duty to police the article and ensure that it is not removed for malicious reasons. However, to date you have been editing in an excessively pointy fashion that is only serving to fire up the lunatics who don't share your vision. Canvassing for votes, and constantly reverting the article is not a valuable use of your time.
In fact, I would be more than happy to help you NPOV whatever language you are trying to get into the article, but you need to understand that I am not going to vote or endorse anything. My role as an administrator is not to enforce any particular point of view. Hiberniantears ( talk) 18:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
