I disagree with your opinion. Scientific journals have couple of features, one of them is citation score, ISO 4, issn, and eissn, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. All of these are extracted from a source; thus, referenced. It’s not like I decided to give the journal these attributes. My article is not different from Acta Materialia, Scripta, Materials & Design and countless other examples. Abdo2905 ( talk) 06:48, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

A tag has been placed on Mohamed Nagi Alassam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Onel5969 TT me 13:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Mohamed Nagi Alassam after being released in April 2019.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 16:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 16:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Regarding these two messages on the file talk pages, I am not sure what you are trying to communicate. I'm assuming it is a screenshot from Copyright.com that is supposed to show it is free. But that shows that the cost is free. Freely licensed does not refer to cost. It refers to the rights one is granted to use, build on, create derivative works, etc. Also, if that screenshot is from copyright.com, then the screenshot is copyrighted and you need to request its deletion from Commons immediately. It is a copyright violation and cannot be hosted on Commons. -- Whpq ( talk) 23:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Abdo2905! Your additions to European Synchrotron Radiation Facility have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Diamond Light Source.

The file File:50 piasters film.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
WP:DECORATIVE non-free use of a non-free movie poster Ibrahim Mursal#Film career which fails WP:NFCC#8. Non-free movie posters are generally allowed when they're used for primary identification purposes in the main infoboxes or at the top of stand-alone articles about the movies they represent, but other types of uses are much harder to justify per WP:NFC#CS. There's no sourced critical commentary specifically about this poster in the paragrah about the film in the "Film career" section of the Mursal article, and there's nothing about what's written about the film that requires the reader seeing its poster to understand; so, there's no real loss of encyclopedic understanding caused by omitting the poster from the article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --

You uploaded File:VAMAS 1st Two Chairs.png to Commons, but I'm going to ask you about here. You uploaded the file as "own work", but this has a special meaning when it comes to image copyright and Commons. Did you take this photo yourself back in 1983? Is your uploading it to Commons the first time it has been published if you did? When it comes to scans of somewhat low-resolution files taken years ago that are uploaded to Commons, more formal verification of copyright ownership is often asked for just in case unless there's some way (e.g. EXIF data, online publication) of verifying copyright authorship. Such files can end up tagged for speedy deletion per c:COM:CSD#F5 or nominated for deletion per c:COM:DR when there's doubt about their copyright ownership. So, if you did take this photo, you should consider emailing your c:COM:CONSENT to c:COM:VRT as explained here. FWIW, sending in a CONSENT email is also often a good idea if you plan to upload more of your photos under the same license because it can make individual verification of each upload unnecessary. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:50, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
All the red links on your Commons user talk page indicate a file has been deletedfirst not all are red, there are 3 that were not deleted. So I am not sure what do you gain by this generalisation, because they are not everything I have uploaded. So, it means nothing, if I have uploaded 1000 images and 13 were contested and 8 were deleted for different 'mistakes'. Because this is what I am talking about, these mistakes were different and honest, and I offered @ Jeff G. the chance to actually go and have look to amend their conclusion.

Hi, as you know, I have copyedited your article on Sara Gadalla Gubara, and learned more about her achievements. As I met her during my time in Khartoum and attended the public screenings of her father's digitised films, I am very pleased about your great efforts (as usual) of researching this article. As I don't read Arabic fluently, I often overlook Arabic sources for articles on Sudanese or other topics relating to the Arab world and appreciate your references to let people know that there are such sources, too, besides others in English. - Of course, it's not always easy to find good sources in Arabic, as Arab media often don't give much importance to thorough cultural journalism. ): And here's a minor comment: WP infoboxes are not meant to carry national flags. Looking forward to more cooperation on Sudanese articles. Munfarid1 ( talk) 11:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Republican Palace (Sudan)/Temp. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Republican Palace, Khartoum. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Republican Palace, Khartoum. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fram ( talk) 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I disagree with your opinion. Scientific journals have couple of features, one of them is citation score, ISO 4, issn, and eissn, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. All of these are extracted from a source; thus, referenced. It’s not like I decided to give the journal these attributes.

Thanks for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

A tag has been placed on Mohamed Nagi Alassam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Thanks for uploading File:Mohamed Nagi Alassam after being released in April 2019.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Thank you for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 16:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Regarding these two messages on the file talk pages, I am not sure what you are trying to communicate. I'm assuming it is a screenshot from Copyright.com that is supposed to show it is free. But that shows that the cost is free. Freely licensed does not refer to cost. It refers to the rights one is granted to use, build on, create derivative works, etc. Also, if that screenshot is from copyright.com, then the screenshot is copyrighted and you need to request its deletion from Commons immediately. It is a copyright violation and cannot be hosted on Commons. -- Whpq ( talk) 23:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Abdo2905! Your additions to European Synchrotron Radiation Facility have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

A tag has been placed on File:Joan Winch.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

On 30 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Order of the Two Niles, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Order of the Two Niles. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Order of the Two Niles), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

The file File:50 piasters film.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
WP:DECORATIVE non-free use of a non-free movie poster Ibrahim Mursal#Film career which fails WP:NFCC#8. Non-free movie posters are generally allowed when they're used for primary identification purposes in the main infoboxes or at the top of stand-alone articles about the movies they represent, but other types of uses are much harder to justify per WP:NFC#CS. There's no sourced critical commentary specifically about this poster in the paragrah about the film in the "Film career" section of the Mursal article, and there's nothing about what's written about the film that requires the reader seeing its poster to understand; so, there's no real loss of encyclopedic understanding caused by omitting the poster from the article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --

You uploaded File:VAMAS 1st Two Chairs.png to Commons, but I'm going to ask you about here. You uploaded the file as "own work", but this has a special meaning when it comes to image copyright and Commons. Did you take this photo yourself back in 1983? Is your uploading it to Commons the first time it has been published if you did? When it comes to scans of somewhat low-resolution files taken years ago that are uploaded to Commons, more formal verification of copyright ownership is often asked for just in case unless there's some way (e.g. EXIF data, online publication) of verifying copyright authorship. Such files can end up tagged for speedy deletion per c:COM:CSD#F5 or nominated for deletion per c:COM:DR when there's doubt about their copyright ownership. So, if you did take this photo, you should consider emailing your c:COM:CONSENT to c:COM:VRT as explained here. FWIW, sending in a CONSENT email is also often a good idea if you plan to upload more of your photos under the same license because it can make individual verification of each upload unnecessary. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:50, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
All the red links on your Commons user talk page indicate a file has been deletedfirst not all are red, there are 3 that were not deleted. So I am not sure what do you gain by this generalisation, because they are not everything I have uploaded. So, it means nothing, if I have uploaded 1000 images and 13 were contested and 8 were deleted for different 'mistakes'. Because this is what I am talking about, these mistakes were different and honest, and I offered @ Jeff G. the chance to actually go and have look to amend their conclusion.

Hi, as you know, I have copyedited your article on Sara Gadalla Gubara, and learned more about her achievements. As I met her during my time in Khartoum and attended the public screenings of her father's digitised films, I am very pleased about your great efforts (as usual) of researching this article. As I don't read Arabic fluently, I often overlook Arabic sources for articles on Sudanese or other topics relating to the Arab world and appreciate your references to let people know that there are such sources, too, besides others in English. - Of course, it's not always easy to find good sources in Arabic, as Arab media often don't give much importance to thorough cultural journalism. ): And here's a minor comment: WP infoboxes are not meant to carry national flags. Looking forward to more cooperation on Sudanese articles. Munfarid1 ( talk) 11:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello, FuzzyMagma. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " sandbox".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:11, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Republican Palace (Sudan)/Temp. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Republican Palace, Khartoum. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Republican Palace, Khartoum. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fram ( talk) 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
