A bug in a user box?

I think I found and fixed a bug in one of the resolution userboxes. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, hydrox (talk) 18:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Quote: "UXGA is an abbreviation for Ultra eXtended Graphics Array referring to a standard monitor resolution of 1600×1200 pixels …" However, the userbox says (quote): "This user contributes at 1680×1050 resolution." But (quote): "WSXGA+ stands for Widescreen Super eXtended Graphics Array Plus and is a computer display standard. […] The resolution is 1680×1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels) …" See it now? --hydrox (talk) 05:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Oh, and same goes to User:Faizhaider/Res 1440x900 btw (corrected) --hydrox (talk) 06:14, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Aisha: lede

Originaly at User talk:HelloAnnyong
As you said on Talk:Aisha that, "I'm not well versed on this subject", I'll try to give you an overview of the case, there are few personalities in early Islam who are little controversial, in general Sunnis have great veneration for them and Shi'is dispute their righteousness by pointing out their acts which are not taken so well by Sunni majority (although even their books are filled by such narrations e.g. Aisha's envolvement in events preceding to murder of third Caliph and then her as leader of Battle of Camel/Basra). Abu Bakar & his daughter Aisha, Umar & his daughter Hafsa, Uthman & his caln Bani Umayya are few of the contentious figures between the two parties. As most of the Sunni Jurispudence is based on the rulings of first three Caliphs and narrations of Hadith from Aisha their being not reghtious & being controversial is not taken well by Sunns and they try to label any such report as fringe, dubious & some time to extent of blasphemy. Ther have been riots and loss of life over these issues from start of Islamic days continuing till today (if you are aware of recent Kuwait & Bahrain fiasco against Shi'is).

Are Shi'a fringe?
Yes and no!
10–20% of the world's Muslims are Shi'a, they may number up to 200 million as of 2010. The Shi'a majority countries are Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain. They constitute 36.3% of entire local population and 38.6% of local Muslim population of Middle East. Shi'a Muslims constitute over 35% of the population in Lebanon, over 45% of the population in Yemen, 20–40% of the population in Kuwait, over 20% in Turkey, 10–20% of the population in Pakistan, and 15–19% of Afghanistan's population. Nations with populations of more than one million Shi'as include (in descending order): Iran, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Lebanon, and Tanzania.

For more details: Shi'a–Sunni relations, Persecution of Shia Muslims

Feel free to contact me in case of any question or clarifications.

--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 04:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Ha, thanks. That is a very succinct and neutral explanation of what appears to be an exceedingly difficult issue that has caused strife all over the world. More importantly, it reflects well upon you as an editor, and I hope that you stick around and continue to help out on that article. Thanks again for taking the time to write that out. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I was just wondering about having no response from you over my little essay ;). BTW, we are having great action on Talk:Aisha and little on Aisha. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 04:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Ask for a favor

Hi friend. thanks for your contributions on Aisha article. I improved the article by adding more references and its itroduction has now high quality. But as I am busy on another articles, I will be grateful if you keep watching the article against possible vandalism which I am sure will increase after now. Thanks in advance. --Aliwiki (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume V, Issue no. 2 - November 2010

English WikiProject News

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias.

Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up the Indian chapter of Wikimedia have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a bot to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to Twitter was created and launched by User:Logicwiki.


What's New?

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India was saved. Meanwhile, Chalukya Dynasty appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16.

The source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc.

The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the previous issue made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011.

In October there was a heated discussion in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of Wiki San Roze's party symbol images by Hammersoft as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

Speedy deletion nomination of Criticism of Twelver Shi'ism

 

A tag has been placed on Criticism of Twelver Shi'ism, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

the article is original research, POV, in bad faith and soapbox. References given are non-verifiable and out of sync to the matter which they are tagged to.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

References & holidays

My "real life" is fairly busy from now until the end of the year so I won't be participating as extensively the next 4 weeks, but once the holidays are done I'm intent on improving the references throughout a series of related articles, including Muhammad, Ali, and Aisha. Any resources you have regarding those subjects would be a welcome contribution; in the meantime I'll do what I can to help in bits and pieces, especially on the talkpages.

The Story of the Hungry Goat

You got a good chuckle out of me when I read your suggestion to call the lost verses by that name. However, some of the information actually seems worth including....the fact that Aisha was gathering the reports from people might belong in "After Muhammad's Death" section. As I told Aliwiki also, there is a lot of new material, so feel free to start a new section if you think something is overlooked. Thanks for your contributions, Doc Tropics 02:39, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, i invite you to join the discussion here, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam#Proposal_Shia_holiest_sites if u want. Someone65 (talk) 14:37, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

General Shi'a issues, ANI, etc.

No worries on the ANI. I was slightly miffed that it went to ANI without a post on my Talk, and more that I was being lumped in a guy doing some rather... "extreme" moves (Caliphate? really?). But I understand you meant well by it, no worries.

On a separate note, I have two folks now okay with Shi'a, so I'll stand by for more comment, and then make changes as needed, and if possible get it added to whatever "standardised spelling" list we have. Though probably just having the bulk of articles in one spelling is its own standardisation.

Before you do wander off though, it would be appreciated if you'd go to the Criticism article and weigh back in on the new version. I'm afraid that some of the "Delete" voters are POV pushing, and one seems well-intentioned but doesn't seem easily satisfiable. Having the original proposer weigh back in might be worth something. There is some real difference of opinion between Sunni and Shi'a, with the Sunni being awfully hostile about it at points, so I think it's really a topic worth covering.

Thanks for the comms, hope all going well. MatthewVanitas (talk) 05:16, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Copyright listing for Criticism of Twelver Shi'ism

Hi. This listing has come due for admin closure, and I have a question for you there. Hopefully, we'll be able to close out that matter soon. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:37, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I think, this discussion is no more relevant, the article we are talking about has been deleted as per an Afd. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 02:53, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your response, but there may be some confusion. The article is still present; the AfD has not yet closed. It was relisted by an administrator today and will not close for another five days at least. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:44, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know, the confusion has been cleared up: the article was evidently undeleted before I saw your note and the AfD relisted for some reason. So, the article was gone, but it's back now. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

The IP who was edit warring with you in Muslim World a week ago has been identified as a sock of sockmaster Shinas/Anwar Sadaat (since [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shinas/Archive|indef blocked). He is now coming back using open proxies to push the same content in the other articles he was edit warring in. I am informing all others who were involved in reverting him and thought i would let you know.--Sodabottle (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

APPEAL TO YOU

Reg: [BRAHMAN PUJAN] , [UNIVERSAL PRAYERS] . written by [Naresh Sonee] On wikipedia , These above two pages are far older than the present article [Brahman] References of above titles are also available on New York site - http://www.printsasia.com/BookDetails.aspx?Id=445813482 Meanwhile, Can your good selves in Wiki Project Indian Community re-create a precise pages on [Naresh Sonee] & his book [Brahmand Pujan] – [Brahmaand Pujan] . However, Sonee is the writer of this book [Brahmand Pujan] written in 1999 . registered with Government of India- HRRD. Details of the registration is provided here on http://brhmaandpujanbook.tripod.com/ . More than sufficient, news and reviews are there on http://brhmaandpujan-news-reviews.tripod.com/ Since 5-6 yrs, for one or the other reason pages of [Naresh Sonee] & [Brahmand Pujan] are faced by communal bias from outside India so these articles over and again get deleted here in Wikipedia for minor reasons. However, many hits of - Naresh Sonee reflects on google search engine also. So, I request Wiki Indian community to kindly come forward and generously help these two pages to grow, as I am fed up to fight my case alone here [left] and moved out long back. Meanwhile, such an important info/issue on ‘Indian literature’ which adds & spell ‘new meaning /dimension’ to Brahman -should it stay lost else ignored? Your community panel has to judge at last. Myself, will not be on Wikipedia, for the same i apologise, but- pls. help these two pages to get reinstalled, reap, sow and grow, if you too feel so, I appeal to do this munificent favour.
