Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rawalpindi, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Khyber Pass, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Islamabad. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Idell (talk) 09:55, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Nomination of List of spiritual entities in Islam for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of spiritual entities in Islam, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of spiritual entities in Islam until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

November 2021

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! -- Toddy1 (talk) 18:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Bilal ibn Rabah. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello The Story of Marjaan! Your additions to Bulleh Shah 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.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:25, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

List of spiritual entities in Islam

Greetings, you wanted me to talk to your if I disagree. Well, I disagree. First, this is a list and a Wikipedia list should be like a list. The type of list we are doing here is most likely Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Glossaries. These usually list items from A-Z. Now, as far as I understood your point of view, we should only add the entities mentioned in the Quran. This was originally my idea too, because I already suspected this going to some disputes. However, most people think we should keep the list. Now my reasons, why I think we should use this version: 1) There aren't enough creautres in the Quran. We only have these:

• Angels (with a vast list of beigns already mentioned in the Angels in Islam article, jinn, ifrit (arguably not even an entity by itself but merely an epiphet in the Quran. Marid doesn't appear, since this is just an epiphet in the Quran, devils (arguably only "evil jinn" as many contemporary scholars argue), the Qarin (not even an entity by itself in the Quranic context), Houris and Iblis.

2) Quran isn't a good source: The nature of spirits in the Quran is ambiguos. Best example is Iblis. He might be, in Islam (including literature, poems, Muslim believes, reports from the Sahaba, Hadiths etc.) an angel, a jinn, a devil, or entirely unique. Yes, you could say "But the Quran clearly says he is one of the jinn, so all other opinions must be false". You could, but this isn't convincing, since you only understand the Quran as such, because of exegesis. "Jinn" could also be a general term for any spiritual entity. Actually, there are view points arguing that "jinn" do not exist at all, thus we could even dispute adding "jinn" as a seperate class of being (many Modernists hold this view, but this view also appears in erlier works like whose of Ghazali). So what is it? Is "jinn" just meaning "invisible" and including all sorts of invisible beigns or is it a creature on its own? We don't know, the Quran doesn't clarify, interpretation does. 3) Unclear boundaries: How do you decide that belongs to Islam and what does not?: You could arguy, "but the div are Persian", but these scholars likewise attribute them to Muhammad and we don't have any source directly going back to Muhammad, only oral traditions. The Muslims might have called them "marid" instead of "divs", the concept would nevertheless root in "Islam". How about Sakhr? Doesn't occure in contemporary theology, does this mean "he does not belong to Islam"? Sarcely not, since this refers to an entity mentiooned in the Quran, tradition just gave this entity a name. How about Khidr? Contemporary scholarship, partly even deriving from (by the way rather unqualified) scholars like Sayyid Qutb who reject this as "unislamic", would argue "this is middle Eastern tradition, not Islam". Nevetheless, a majority of Muslims genuinly identify the "mysterious man" in Surah 18 with Khidr. How do you evne want to draw the line? By the Quran, those depiction of spiritual creatures is unclear? The hadiths, with not as profound but similar issues? How do you classify Miraj Literature? Is this "jewish" and considered "Israeliyyat"? Probably not. For example the devils I added derive from Muslim sources, although not made explicit, same goes for angels like Ridwan (who exist just because of interpretation and Miraj Literature) and they also found their way partly to Turkish Wiki. Islam has no clerical hierarchy like Catholicism, so we just don't have a clear definition of Islamic supernatural creatures (this is also why I decided to write the genus behind the entity, in case of ambiguity, you can just add another one. For example Iblis (angel, Genie, Devil) instead of adding Iblis to multiple categories. Much better to read this way). Thus, there might always be an entity not accepted by someone else but believed to exist or at least play an role within the Muslim's belief-system. Establishing boundaries about what is "Islamic" and what is "falsly classified as Islamic" is always a subjective point of view. But this violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. If you have a fair solution, I am willing to follow your suggestions, (my first decission was to avoid this conflict by just deleting the article so this inconsistence between different point of views within Islam would not be made evident) but if there is merely your personal point of view about what "Islam" is, I must, unfortunately, insist to make sure we have a neutral point of view here, adding every point of view, which includes every entity deriving from Muslim sources.

Replaceable fair use File:Ryan Kaji child star.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ryan Kaji child star.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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{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.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 22:35, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Faisalabad skyline.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Faisalabad skyline.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file 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 file 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 files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
