Hello, UsamahWard, and welcome to Wikipedia!
Thanks for uploading File:East London Mosque - elevated view (2012).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. Stefan2 ( talk) 23:03, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
I removed the 'forging references' statement from the article. Under WP:BLP any potentially controversial statements need to be relevant, be given due weight, and be well sourced. If Vaz had made a serious allegation in a formal way in a publication then it might be cited. As it is, the only source is a claimed transcript of an unprepared statement at a public meeting. To allow the statement to appear in a journalist's BLP article is WP:UNDUE since this criticism has not been considered significant by any other commentator. I have tehrefore removed it. If you wish to debate the inclusion please use the Talk page of the article. Martinlc ( talk) 08:45, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
Manspacey is categorically not me, I do not have a sockpuppet. As I pointed out to the new user who made the accusation (see discussion page for East London Mosque), why would I create a sockpuppet to change back what I've edited? The edit in dispute is so trivial as well, and the new editor(s) have made changes using no sources and ignoring template guidelines. It's all in the discussion. Update: I note the user who made the accusation of sockpuppetry actually claimed the day before on the discussion page that he and an admin were investigating because of the "same IP address". His edits and behaviour for a new user, along with the other new user who appeared there, can be judged from the article and discussion. :Further update: I've just been looking at the contributions by Manspacey, and realised that his single addition to the Gilligan article was the year before the 'edit war' that took place there, and the only connection is that the day after his addition I edited his entry for balance. He didn't make any contribution, supportive or otherwise, during the 'edit war' at the end of last year. As for his edits of the East London Mosque, whilst he has clearly also disagreed with Rinfoli/Fisingi/Ellodorando in the few edits he made - which means he concurs with me - he has not contributed anything to the entry's discussion page, which is where you might expect a sockpuppet to be used to bolster support. Instead, he's left a single comment on each of the pages of Fisingi and Ellodorando which, as I've suggested below, may well be sockpuppets of Rinfoli, who has then reacted to those comments. Moreover, in his latter comment, Manspacey has kind of missed my point, which was the claim about being the first and only mosque in Europe was patently untrue, and I gave the examples of Istanbul, Granada and Albania which are more than enough for any impartial observer that may want to check the actual discussion, not some other user's page. I hope this will be enough to convince you that Manspacey is genuinely not my sockpuppet, and that my discussion on the article's page has tried to keep within the letter and spirit of Wikipedia guidelines.

Accept reason:
As I said below, I think that the duration of this block so far (a bit more than a week) is sufficient. I'm not retracting the sockpuppet accusation, I still think that evidence is too strong, but I believe that your conduct while blocked and your response to it has been very positive. -- Atama 頭 16:47, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Update: 'Ellodorando' has just reinstated the bizarre claim that the East London Mosque is the first and only mosque in Europe to broadcast the call to prayer, and gone on to add the completely untrue claim that the Queen visited the mosque! UsamahWard ( talk) 11:08, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Whenever said I that East London Mosque has 2 domes?? In regards to Freemesm,there are many users who copy this warning. Rinfoli { *Di§cu$$ with me"#}, 11:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC) Yes, you are taking suspicion too far. I have seen the contributions of those sockpuppet users, and it could be that Ellodorando is the sixth. But why have you mentioned me? Boh, I don't understand you. Then there are many proves that you are sockpuppet. Why are you continuing to tell lies? Rinfoli { *Di§cu$$ with me"#}, 11:53, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Usamahwars, I have already said this one did I wanted undid this revision because you deleted imams and chairmans name. In fact now there is written that it has only a dome. Few days ago I created an italian one, so where is the problem?? Rinfoli { *Di§cu$$ with me"#}, 13:32, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

For keeping your cool while blocked and helping uncover a huge batch of sockpuppets from a long-time disruptive editor. I almost never give out barnstars but you deserve one. -- Atama 頭 16:31, 6 May 2014 (UTC) |
Dear UsamahWard, I hope you are well. Sorry to ask, but could you please have a look at the page Asad Q. Ahmed and its talk page. Ashwak786 seems to want to consider this very imperfect page to be perfect and edit-proof. Thanks so much. Regards, George Custer's Sabre ( talk) 17:43, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
