Welcome! edit

Hello, Zayed1, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
  • Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.
There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.

Happy editing!

Karrana edit

As the article clearly states that Karrana is a village, why have you changed its category to "Cities in Bahrain"? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 00:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mr Ian Henderson edit

Your continued alteration of the article on Mr Ian Henderson is an infringement of Wikipedia's NPOV policy on individuals and is also at risk of libel action. Please desist from making these alterations when the current article reflects a neutral position. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bahraini (talkcontribs) 18:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC).Reply

Where is the infringment of NPOV? --Zayed1 18:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The tone of your article adds nothing but a biased view - this is not Wikipedia policy.

Tell me which states are false. And please sign your comments --Zayed1 21:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: History of Bahrain Article edit

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

What are you talking about? I added statements with valid sources! And please learn to sign your comments! --Zayed1 22:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re:Ajam / Hajjam edit

Salaam Zayed. Thanks for providing me with the information. I apologize for reverting your edit as I thought it was a removal of relevant information. The information was actually added by 213.106.161.155 and was fixed by Deeptrivia. Thanks also for the advice on creating an article on Hajjam. Because I have not researched the topic extensively, I might not be the right person to do this. However, if you would like, I can create the article with the information added by the IP Address and you can expand it. Another option would be to incorporate the text into the hijama article. Please let me know what solution seems best to you. With regards, AnupamTalk 20:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Ajam edit

 

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Ajam. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ajam. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Isa henderson cartoon.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Isa henderson cartoon.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 00:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:IanHenderson 1964.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:IanHenderson 1964.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:18, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:33, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
