Hi I'm planning to add this part into the Bush article regarding his war crimes in Iraq.
Bush has also been accused of war crimes after the Iraq invasion, including being convicted in absentia and possibilities that he may be unable to visit Europe due to fears that he could end up in the International Criminal Court at the Hague in Netherlands. [1] [2] In 2011, he cancelled his trip to Switzerland due to risks of legal action against him for "alleged torture". [3] In 2015, he was banned from entering Venezuela and accused of "committing terrorism and grave human rights violations" when he was in office. [4] Desmond Tutu has also called for him and Tony Blair to be taken to the Hague over the Iraq War and accused him of lying to get rid of Saddam Hussein. [5] [6]

First, where should I inquire whether is an edit-a-thon in progress? Second, more specifically, is there an edit-a-thon to increase the coverage of women from Ghaha?
I just reviewed three pages containing four stub drafts on Ghanaian women. One of them was married to a President of Ghana, and I decided that being a First Lady was ipso facto notability enough. It was a stub, but we accept stubs if they establish notability and otherwise are appropriate. One sandbox contained drafts on two women. This appears to be a case where the edit-a-thon organizer didn't properly instruct the participants as to one article one subject. (Also, neither of them was a clear case of notability anyway, so declining it wasn't a problem.) So, how do I find out whether there is an edit-a-thon, and who its organizers are, and is there an edit-a-thon on women from Ghana? Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:12, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I will make a $200 donation to Wikipedia if someone can help me resolve my problems with the book creation tool.
I am preparing to become a science teacher at the high school level and would like to have several different books on different science subjects. I created 3 books, but have substantial difficulty using them. 1. It is difficult to find the page where the contents of each book are listed. 2. When I try to add a page to an existing book, the page is added to a new book that I have not created. 3. If I have the same page in more than one book and delete it in one book, it deletes it in both books.
I would like to be able to open Wikipedia, go to one of my books, see the content all listed, search for new material, add it, save the updated book, and have it work that way every time.
The book help section is not helpful in resolving my problems. If someone responds with the right help, it make a few tries and a few more questions, so please be patient with me. There is a lot of technical how-to information on using Wikipedia, but I need something really simple. Thanks.

Could you please revisit them and accept? I'm sorry for the original mistake - I am new to Wikipedia and still learning. Moonlighting Film Production Services and its co-owners Genevieve Hofmeyr and Philip Key have produced major Hollywood blockbusters like "Avengers: Age of Ultron", "Judge Dredd", "Mad Max: Fury Road" and TV series - they are Africa's leading film producers, so I'm not entirely sure why one of the editors said they are not notable (there are, for example, producers from other countries that have made less notable films that have Wikipedia entries).

Hello, I write here to explain a situation which I am not sure how to resolve. On the article on which I am working Draft:The_Smile_Machine I posted two photographs that were contested. One was thought to be taken from a newspaper (but was actually of my own creation) and the other was a photograph. The person who denounced me wouldn't believe that I had actually made the one image (he or she wrote that it was "obviously copied form a newspaper") because, I can only imagine, it was "dot screened" like in old newspapers...but in 1992 I had had the image dot-screened because I found dot-screened images made better copies. I was told that I needed to supply proof for both so I did so by sending photos to the wiki permissions page: I then took a series of photos of myself with the original of the other contested photograph and sent it in. I wrote to the photographer of the other photo, received a scanned permission note and sent it to the wiki permissions page along with her email so it could be verified in case of further doubt. I have received no responses from wiki permissions and also have found that I can no longer upload photos to the page... I find this to be frustrating because I have played by the rules. I am working hard to make the article as good as I can and I feel as if I have no recourse when unjustly accused. I would be happy to supply all the proof again if someone would be so kind as to respond to me. Thank you, Dickturner ( talk) 22:04, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Editors,
I need your help, submitting a revised version of an entry that was rejected for lack of notability ( /info/en/?search=Draft:ARADA), the page I'm trying to create is for a high profile property developer in Sharjah (UAE). Below is a revised version of the listing that was declined. Will this now pass? Any support on how to make it even better is highly appreciated... thanks

ARADA is a privately held property development company, based in the United Arab Emirates, with an initial focus on the emirate of Sharjah ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-loans/uae-property-developer-secures-1-bln-dirham-loan-for-mega-project-idUSL8N1OS16X). The company was founded in December 2016 by Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, chairman of Basma Group, and Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud, chairman of KBW Investments ( https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/new-developer-arada-targets-uae-s-mid-market-housing-sector-1.89111). Projects Nasma Residences Launched in March 2017, Nasma Residences is an 800-unit villa and townhouse community in the Al Tay suburb of Sharjah ( http://gulfnews.com/business/property/new-developer-gets-cracking-with-residential-community-in-sharjah-1.1993253). The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019 ( http://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-44167-uae-408m-nasma-residences-to-complete-in-2019/). Aljada Launched in September 2017 with a sales value of AED24 billion ($6.5 billion), Aljada is a mixed-use development spread over a 24 million square foot area in the Muwaileh suburb of Sharjah ( https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/uae-developer-to-build-biggest-ever-real-estate-project-in-sharjah-1.626020). Aljada features residential districts, a business park, retail and hospitality segments as well as a Central Hub, designed by Zaha Hadid, which ARADA has said will be a new entertainment and leisure destination for the United Arab Emirates ( https://gulfnews.com/business/property/sharjah-developer-awards-contract-to-late-zaha-hadid-s-firm-1.2183993). Work on Aljada began in the first quarter of 2018, with the entire project scheduled for completion in 2025 ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-sharjah/uae-property-developer-launches-6-5-bln-sharjah-project-idUSL5N1LS3R3). In December 2017, ARADA secured AED1 billion in Islamic financing from two banks in the United Arab Emirates to help fund the development of Aljada ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-loans/uae-property-developer-secures-1-bln-dirham-loan-for-mega-project-idUSL8N1OS16X). In April 2018, ARADA signed a deal with Emaar Hospitality Group to open three hotels in Aljada ( https://www.reuters.com/article/brief-emaar-hospitality-group-and-arada/brief-emaar-hospitality-group-and-arada-join-hands-to-launch-three-hotels-in-sharjah-idUSFWN1RP0LN). Anantara Sharjah Resort In December 2017, ARADA announced that it would open Sharjah’s first Anantara hotel in conjunction with Basma Group. The Anantara Sharjah Resort, which is scheduled to open in mid-2020, will have 233 rooms ( http://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/32442-minor-hotels-to-launch-first-anantara-resort-in-sharjah).

(No idea whether this is an appropriate place to ask this, sorry if not)
I've just come across this page and I thought it would be good to discuss it with other people, as it could do with some outside help, but I still feel a little inexperienced on WikiPedia at the moment.
One editor put a COI tag on it a while ago, but the tag has been repeatedly deleted. It also seems to me like a lot of edits from several user accounts and IPs have been very closely affiliated to the people who developed the software, as they've all made edits pretty much exclusively about this article.
One question I have is when/whether a COI should be pointed out on a page, or if it really matters if the page (as in this case) doesn't seem to be written in an obiously biased way?
Another issue I have is that, from looking online, I'm still not sure whether this software is notable enough for a WikiPedia article: I can't find many papers published using it for instance, which is my idea of 'impact' for something like this [2], nor can I find any other articles etc on it, but I'm still hesitant to recommend it for deletion as data science is not my area of expertise.
I thought it was an interesting case to discuss, but again, sorry if this is an odd thing to bring up here, or if this post is a little rambling! BubbleEngineer ( talk) 00:30, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed on the DXC Technology page that the second source in the References section no longer links to the article it states it links to; instead it redirects to Yahoo News. I have found what I assume to be the same press release on their own website, here. However, I couldn’t quite figure out how to fix this, or flag this for someone else. Thanks for any advice or addressing this! Sharrington88 ( talk) 02:59, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I write here to explain a situation which I am not sure how to resolve. On the article on which I am working Draft:The_Smile_Machine I posted two photographs that were contested. One was thought to be taken from a newspaper (but was actually of my own creation) and the other was a photograph. The person who denounced me wouldn't believe that I had actually made the one image (he or she wrote that it was "obviously copied form a newspaper") because, I can only imagine, it was "dot screened" like in old newspapers...but in 1992 I had had the image dot-screened because I found dot-screened images made better copies. I was told that I needed to supply proof for both so I did so by sending photos to the wiki permissions page: I then took a series of photos of myself with the original of the other contested photograph and sent it in. I wrote to the photographer of the other photo, received a scanned permission note and sent it to the wiki permissions page along with her email so it could be verified in case of further doubt. I have received no responses from wiki permissions and also have found that I can no longer upload photos to the page... I find this to be frustrating because I have played by the rules. I am working hard to make the article as good as I can and I feel as if I have no recourse when unjustly accused. I would be happy to supply all the proof again if someone would be so kind as to respond to me. Thank you, Dickturner ( talk) 22:04, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi .. Please help on how to create an article regarding the history of a company? Explain me the rules of Wikipedia. My article gets deleted in a day or two.
I am new to this, so sorry if that is a stupid question: I would like to use this particular Image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/9/9a/20100225074214%21MIP_technique_timothy.png in a modified version in my Thesis. In my understanding this image is free to use as long as i cite it correctly? What would be the correct way to do this?

Hello Editors,
I need your help, submitting a revised version of an entry that was rejected for lack of notability ( /info/en/?search=Draft:ARADA), the page I'm trying to create is for a high profile property developer in Sharjah (UAE). Below is a revised version of the listing that was declined. Will this now pass? Any support on how to make it even better is highly appreciated... thanks
Misplaced version of draft

ARADA is a privately held property development company, based in the United Arab Emirates, with an initial focus on the emirate of Sharjah ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-loans/uae-property-developer-secures-1-bln-dirham-loan-for-mega-project-idUSL8N1OS16X). The company was founded in December 2016 by Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, chairman of Basma Group, and Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud, chairman of KBW Investments ( https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/new-developer-arada-targets-uae-s-mid-market-housing-sector-1.89111). Projects Nasma Residences Launched in March 2017, Nasma Residences is an 800-unit villa and townhouse community in the Al Tay suburb of Sharjah ( http://gulfnews.com/business/property/new-developer-gets-cracking-with-residential-community-in-sharjah-1.1993253). The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019 ( http://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-44167-uae-408m-nasma-residences-to-complete-in-2019/). Aljada Launched in September 2017 with a sales value of AED24 billion ($6.5 billion), Aljada is a mixed-use development spread over a 24 million square foot area in the Muwaileh suburb of Sharjah ( https://www.thenational.ae/business/property/uae-developer-to-build-biggest-ever-real-estate-project-in-sharjah-1.626020). Aljada features residential districts, a business park, retail and hospitality segments as well as a Central Hub, designed by Zaha Hadid, which ARADA has said will be a new entertainment and leisure destination for the United Arab Emirates ( https://gulfnews.com/business/property/sharjah-developer-awards-contract-to-late-zaha-hadid-s-firm-1.2183993). Work on Aljada began in the first quarter of 2018, with the entire project scheduled for completion in 2025 ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-sharjah/uae-property-developer-launches-6-5-bln-sharjah-project-idUSL5N1LS3R3). In December 2017, ARADA secured AED1 billion in Islamic financing from two banks in the United Arab Emirates to help fund the development of Aljada ( https://www.reuters.com/article/emirates-realestate-loans/uae-property-developer-secures-1-bln-dirham-loan-for-mega-project-idUSL8N1OS16X). In April 2018, ARADA signed a deal with Emaar Hospitality Group to open three hotels in Aljada ( https://www.reuters.com/article/brief-emaar-hospitality-group-and-arada/brief-emaar-hospitality-group-and-arada-join-hands-to-launch-three-hotels-in-sharjah-idUSFWN1RP0LN).

Hello,
I received feedback that the following entry is not recommended for Wikipedia because of notability policies. Can anyone provide any further detail? This person is very successful in the metro-Detroit / Michigan area. Is it because they are not well known nationally? Please advise; thank you:

(No idea whether this is an appropriate place to ask this, sorry if not)
I've just come across this page and I thought it would be good to discuss it with other people, as it could do with some outside help, but I still feel a little inexperienced on WikiPedia at the moment.
One editor put a COI tag on it a while ago, but the tag has been repeatedly deleted. It also seems to me like a lot of edits from several user accounts and IPs have been very closely affiliated to the people who developed the software, as they've all made edits pretty much exclusively about this article.
One question I have is when/whether a COI should be pointed out on a page, or if it really matters if the page (as in this case) doesn't seem to be written in an obiously biased way?
Another issue I have is that, from looking online, I'm still not sure whether this software is notable enough for a WikiPedia article: I can't find many papers published using it for instance, which is my idea of 'impact' for something like this [2], nor can I find any other articles etc on it, but I'm still hesitant to recommend it for deletion as data science is not my area of expertise.
I thought it was an interesting case to discuss, but again, sorry if this is an odd thing to bring up here, or if this post is a little rambling! BubbleEngineer ( talk) 00:30, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
