Image deletion
Hi anon, these images should be deleted: 1. Image:IUB-image.gif 2. Image:IUB-logo.jpg 3. Image:IUB.jpg 4. Image:SCSM.jpg. I've added on each images. I think you mentioned it before and I noticed it in the history page. Give me feedback Thank you NAHID 18:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Got your message, I'm not an anon(ymous) person :) I deleted 3 of those images (one is still on commons) as orphaned fair-use images; as for Image:SCSM.jpg, I rarely delete free-licensed images.  I delisted it as a repost, as I couldn't find the prior WP:IFD on it.  If this is a repost, please feel free to retag it for deletion, but include a link to the IFD.  Thanks and happy editing! —  xaosflux  Talk  18:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as Image:SCSM.jpg goes, I'm not going to delete it on that basis, but one of the othetr 1000+ admins may. I pretty much don't delete images that are free-licensed.  My complaint on the listing is that you are tagging it as a speedy-delete candiate under the rule that it has been reposted after an xfd.  I delete reposts all the time.  If there WAS already a xfd on deleting this image, then when you mark it as a repost, include a link to the prior deletion discussion such as by using a tag like  .  If there is not a prior deletion log for page (and there is not on this one) admins would need to spend a lot of time researching where there was prior consensus to delete the page, that apparently you have already located.  By providing this information, the process runs 1000x faster.  Thank you, —  xaosflux  Talk  19:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Now with all that benig said, thanks to your talk message I've found the duplicate image at Image:SECS.jpg and deleted the original media as a redundant image, the normal tag for this would be: . Thank you, —  xaosflux  Talk  19:39, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like this was mostly a taging confusion issue, there is a list of all the speedy deletion tags list at Criteria for speedy deletion/Deletion templates, these may come in useful in the future for you. Thank you, —  xaosflux  Talk  19:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Number of students
Hi,Johntex. I'm having trouble with number of students on an university article. If an university claims to have more than 2000 or approximately 2000 students in their website, then what should be the exact number in infobox? Will it be 2000 students or more than/approximately 2000. How can I rectify this? Thank you NAHID 14:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I would use the tilde symbol to represenent "approximately", so "~ 2,000". I guess you could also use the greater than symbol, "> 2,000". That is probably sufficient.  Enrollment vaires from year to year so that should be close enough.  You can also include a footnote to your source.  Let me know if you have any trouble with that.  Best, Johntex\talk 23:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Nahid is not Arabic
Hi, When I saw you're username, I was interested to know more. And just to let you know, Nahid has it's roots in Persian (Iranian) and not Arabic. It's another version of the more ancient name Anahita. --Arad 00:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nahid
Hello, How are you bro ? hope fine. Actually I am working here since 2005 but never took it seriously. But, finally I have taken this task seriously and trying to do it in a professional manner. I have a plan to add some pix on EWU's page. I am waiting for some 'real data' from EWU authority, as I approached them with my goal at wiki and they agreed to provide me all the necessary information that I might need to develop wiki page of EWU. I hope it will be a nice page with in a few days.

Hope to hear from you again. For today, its Allah Hafiz from Niaz. Take care and a very good day.

(Niaz bd 17:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC))

Thank you
Thank you (that you found my baby picture cute). And also in Iran Nahid is usually used for girls. Have nice weekend ;-). --Arad 21:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

About Universities
Hello NAHID, thank you for your message. I am honored that you think I might be able to help with this.

I don't think I am able to give an easy answer that would work in all cases, but I do have some thoughts on the issue.

On the one hand, our articles are meant to be neutral. We don't want to just be a billboard for showcasing the very best things about a University and ignoring all bad things.

On the other hand, some criticisms are generic criticisms and are not very notable. For instance, it seems to me that all universities (in the United States at least) have student activist groups that want the school to hire more minorirites, or to stop building on vacant land that might be animal habitat, or to remove restrictions on student rallies, or to improve the free bus service, etc. I would not consider any such criticism to be notable unless it has garnered lots of mainstream press. We would probably want at least some of that press to be national, and not just in the local newspaper.

When something happened is also factor. If a university has been around for 100 or 400 years, we don't want to list every scandal that has occurred in its whole history.

A very important point is "what became of the problem or scandal?" If a scandal led to the university being reorganized completely, that may be a pretty notable scandal. Likewise, if they got a bad rating and that led to them replacing a lot of the faculty and going on a campaign of self-improvement, then that may very well be relevant.

There are two articles that may be instructive as examples: University of Michigan has made it to Featured Article status. University of Oklahoma is almost there. The latter article does mention some recent negative events, such as the student who blew himself up with a car bomb.

If you would like me to look at a specific article and give my thoughts, I would be happy to do so. Johntex\talk 16:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject History of Bangladesh
WikiProject History of Bangladesh has started. It needs members and participants. Aditya Kabir 11:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Re. Appropriate form
Hello NAHID. You can choose either "undid" or "reverted", it's the same thing really. I usually use "reverted" because I fight vandalism with Vandalproof and this tool always uses "reverted" when it, well, reverts. :-) Keep up the good work. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  13:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Book of Muscle
As an administrator, I can see deleted versions of the article and their history. This article has actually been deleted twice: The "G4" is a reference to Criteria_for_speedy_deletion which states "Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted via Articles for deletion or another XfD process, provided that the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any revisions made clearly do not address the reasons for which the page was deleted. This clause does not apply in user space, to content undeleted per undeletion policy, or if the prior deletions were proposed or speedy deletions, although in this last case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy deletion criteria, may apply."
 * 03:32, 2007 February 6 Lectonar (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "The Book of Muscle" (prod, nn)
 * 13:13, 2007 February 25 . . Theredfandango (Talk | contribs | block) (moved The book of muscle to The Book of Muscle: Two of the same page. No need.) - this is where the article got recreated. Theredfandango moved another copy to this name.
 * 13:46, 2007 February 26 . . Uucp (Talk | contribs | block) (dd) - this is where a user tagged it for deletion as being non-notable
 * 01:05, 2007 February 27 Irishguy (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "The Book of Muscle" (G4) - this is wher it got deleted again.

The first deletion may have been "out of process" in the sense that the required process may not have been followed. I don't see evidence that the required waiting period was followed.

However, the article is problematic in that their are no "outside sources" given about this book. That makes it look like an advertisement. Worse, it makes it look like the book is not notable enough to have attracted the interest of anyone but the publisher. I suggest that if you want to keep the article, you need to add some reliable verifiable third party sources consistent with our policy on attribution. You can work on it in your name space (E.g. User:NAID/sandbox) and then move the info when it is ready.

Below is the most recent version of the article in case you want to work on it. Johntex\talk 14:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a book about building muscle. It comprises: The Book of Muscle gives comprehensive muscle-building programes from a world class trainer (Ian King).
 * Three muscle-building programes, one each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced exerciseers.
 * Descriptions of more than 100 exercises.
 * Advice on warming up, stretching, and recovering between workouts.
 * Information on how to eat to make muscles grow.

Re. IP problem
Since you are a registered user, you don't have to worry about your IP being blocked because of someone else using it. When IPs are blocked, registered accounts using it are usually not affected. There is no need to specify your IP number in a userbox. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  18:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If that IP is blocked you will still be able to edit as long as you use your registered account. The block will only affect users using that IP without logging in. If you really want that userbox, you should state the IP that Wikipedia recognizes when you edit without logging in. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  19:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Give me a few minutes.... :) Megapixie 12:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you very much for the barnstar. It is a pleasure to try to help an inquisitive editor to grow in Wikipedia. Please keep up the editting. We need more articles like the ones you are making. Johntex\talk 23:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, NAHID. I have only uploaded a lower resolution version of this image. You may want to contact User:Aditya Kabir (the original uploade) about this image. Indeed, I have once tagged this image as replaceable fair use, but some user (wrongly) removed the tag right after. You may want to read the discussions. Best regards, --Abu badali (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, you haven't contacted me, yet. Posting a notice on User:Abu badali's page was fine, but I guess, you could have contacted the original uploader as well. And, that's me. Well, I'm contacting you, now. I have disputed the replaceability of fair use on the image aforementioned. Please, keep me posted about what you're doing with it. BTW, it's good to see you caring for fairness of image use. Keep the good work going. Cheers. Aditya Kabir 15:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Private Universities of Bangladesh
I have left a message for you on Template talk:Private Universities of Bangladesh. Please, check. Aditya Kabir 16:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No hard feelings
I am sorry if I have misunderstood you again. Even more sorry that I seem to forget the first instance of misunderstanding. I know you have only the best of Wikipedia in your heart. You may have noticed that, because:
 * I already have repeated that many time (POV sure, vandalism it probably was not)
 * I have awarded you with your first barnstar
 * I have lent my hand to help you with your efforts with private universities - saved them from redirects, started articles for a few of them, brought your example of creating a template to public universities, and yes, eidited and re-edited a lot of those articles, along with providing all the advises I could manage
 * Forwarded my goodwill when your wikistress blew through the top
 * Have attempted to help you (not very successfully, I must admit) through the ways of WP when you started editing
 * I have always kept you posted whenever I did something drastic to any of your contributions, which more than what you can claim when you did something to my contributions
 * And, I left you alone when you though Admins would understand you better (though they probably didn't, as understanding right is more important than understanding better when you're an admin)

Repeating again - Sorry, dude, if I have hurt your feelings. I am happy that you finally have answered to any of my postings that concern you. You have ignoring my postings to your talk page, deleting them, too, for long. It is good to see you responding, even if on a more public talk page and even if slightly disturbed. Have a cupcake, dude. Cheers. Aditya Kabir 06:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Sigh--- nice comments but mixed with jesting. It's easy to mocking at someone by writing such essay.--NAHID 23:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

And also
Regarding on comments of user aditya kabir... After tagging Image:Riya Book.png (uploaded by User:Aditya Kabir. He also removed Rfu tag, when it was once tagged by another user) User:Aditya Kabir attempted to engage in edit war and he was scoring my contribution. Few months ago, He tried to do the same thing. He also attempted to target User:Prince Godfather when he removed Aditya Kabir's images from article (though the fault was Prince Godfather). See discussion User talk:Misza13/Archives/2007/02. There, Aditya Kabir's statement I am checking this user as much as I can, though without the tools available to admins it's quite an arduous task---as he has / had wide interest to do that. Simply, if someone disagree with Aditya Kabir in any matters, he starts to score that user's contribution, mocking at him (probably Aditya Kabir also does it in his own User Page or any Talk Page regarding on that user) and attempt to engage in edit war. But wikipedia is not the right place for targeting user.--NAHID 20:13, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You said BTW, it's good to see you caring for fairness of image use.-- No need to be good here. Be normal.
 * You said I know you have only the best of Wikipedia in your heart.-- thanks for the comments !!
 * You said I already have repeated that many time (POV sure, vandalism it probably was not)-- don't need to repeat it rather we should follow it.
 * You said--I have awarded you with your first barnstar-- thanks for the barnstar.
 * You said--I have lent my hand to...-- yes we should help each other BUT again engaging edit war isn't acceptable.BTW You always put memorising negetive materials than infobox and other valuable information in the articles.
 * You said--Forwarded my goodwill-- that was really sweet of you.
 * You said--I have always kept you posted whenever I did something drastic to any of your contributions, which more than what you can claim when you did something to my contributions-- I should've checked the image (Image:Riya Book.png) page and posted Rfu tag on your talk page.Sorry for that.
 * You said--And, I left you alone when you though Admins would understand you better (though they probably didn't, as understanding right is more important than understanding better when you're an admin-- I don't know what do you think about yourself? Are you trying to take control over user / admin? Please refrain from that.


 * WOW. Not a lot of argument, but definitely a lot of anger there. Okay. Keep complaining, and see if it gets you anywhere. I apologized (posted on 00:47, 12 March 2007) on Template talk:Private Universities of Bangladesh to you and this is what I get in return, so I don't think I'll apologize again,not now. It's nice to find a really civil and respectful contributor. And, I guess, telling you relax will actually fuel your anger, not help you. Aditya Kabir 03:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * To Carry the Truth is difficult and I think that's not possible to be carried by you. So be Patient --NAHID 20:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You may be interested to know that User talk:Prince Godfather has been banned indefinitely from Wikipedia. This is the user I targetted a few months ago (according to the text above) and I complained to User:Misza13 about (I am checking this user as much as I can...). Apparently mocking User:Aditya Kabir was not his only crime. Anyways, good try. Aditya Kabir 21:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Are you trying to hide your fault? Don't be emotional. Huh! Good try, nice try- fits to you and take those words back to you.--NAHID 07:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Me wikidemon-- Aditya Kabir called me wikidemon at User:Bsnowball's talk page by mentioning this statment: You see, I am making this roaster of Wikidemon, and this would come handy (See User talk:Bsnowball and User talk:Bsnowball. He left that message just after my message. Again, He's Mocking at Welcoming committee members (Paragraph starts with: If you are new here) --NAHID 13:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Ian King
Hi Nahid, thanks for thinking that I could help significantly with this article, though it is in an area where I have zero expertise. I had a look at it and, while there is really nothing much wrong with it as a stub, the subject does appear to lack Wikipedia notability. Maybe that is just my limited perspective. It would be good to find some independent sources rather than what seem to be self-promoting websites, plus some further information - what birth year? what Pacific Island? which Olympic athletes did he train (names, dates etc)?. There is a lot more hype than detail. Cheers, Maias 01:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Articles on food
Well, this is just my own opinion of course, but most food has been written about somewhere. If you can find enough reliable sourcing to write a substantial article on a food, go for it! (It might be a good idea to do a quick search to make sure it's not already here but under a different name.) Seraphimblade Talk to me 08:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Well...those are one of those things in the "tolerate but do not condone" category, and a lot of articles that stay sourceless are eventually deleted. We do require sourcing, and just because some people don't do it, it should generally be done. Any source is better then nothing, cite a cookbook if you need to (though generally we don't allow recipes, but quite often cookbooks often actually will give some information as to what a dish is, its history, and so on). Seraphimblade Talk to me 08:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: comments
Hi Nahid, We have a very small number of Bangladeshi editors in Wikipedia, so if we quarrel among ourselves, the net loss is to Bangladesh.

Having spent 3 years editing in Wikipedia, I've been through a lot of disagreements with other users. The best way to deal with something you feel is not right, is to ignore it. That works quite well every time.

If you still feel you have any problem, there are several ways to resolved disputes. WP:PAIN is for personal attacks, WP:ANB/I is for administrator's noticeboard incidents. WP:DR for dispute resolution.

However, I still don't see any reason for you two to have a dispute (talk pages fail to show any big disagreement, except for a few minor ones).

In the end, I'd suggest both of you to calm down, and settle this, and focus on many more articles we need to write on Bangladesh. Thank you. --Ragib 22:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, a billion times, that I have hurt your feelings


Aditya Kabir 09:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message. I have just come across you comments about my poor self on Ragib's talk page, and I am happy that I did. It seems that I have hurt your feelings seriously, but had no clue that I was doing that. I guess some of the stuff that made you sad needs a bit of clarification to remove the misunderstanding. This may be long, but I guess it is worth it.


 * Always insulted me in his talk page archive by calling me newbie and has placed a derisive template box. -- You were a newbie back then. Since, you have ceased to be newcomer a long time back, you'll notice that my discussions with you are no more included there. My talk page archives mostly exist as lesson in what is not to be done. If I was not good enough to help a newbie with patience, it must be there. It should not make you look bad, rather should make me look like a bungling goof. I also have archives for my troubles with image uploading and my battles with other Wikipedians - all serving the same purpose.
 * Also he's mocked at me 'coz I'm a member!! -- Please, don't feel that way. If read the whole text of what you have mentioned then you'd find out that it also mentions Wikipedia adoptation project and the Kindness Campaign in the same spirit. Are you member of all of that? Then I am doubly sorry.
 * Called me Wiki demon at User:Bsnowball's talk page by refering the statement: You see, I am making this roaster of Wikidemon, and this would come handy -- It is a pretty cute list of WikiDemons - Wackos, Angry Mastodons, Headless Chickens, Bots, Tolls, Gnomes, Faeries, Doppelgangers, Vandals and Sock Puppets - all with appropriate links. It has got nothing to do with you (if you don't declare to be one of this group, LOL). If you read the Borges quote on Bsnowball's userpage, you'd know it fits the list of demons elegantly. BTW, Borges remains one of my favorite writers and while making the list of demons I missed one of his works very much - The Book of Imaginary Beings.
 * He tried to target another user in this talk page. -- That user was actually disrupting Wikipedia, and got banned for that reason. I have already told you that. Unfortunately it seems that he is back with yet another sockpuppet. What I did in that case was a research through the Wikipedia for 2 days on end, not following him for weeks. In fact I found out about the ban when you posted a complaint aganist my targetting of him. I am sure you don't find guarding Wikipedia as an insult to you.
 * I am sorry that I called you troll. That comment was silly, and I have already said that on Ragib's talk page, where the original post was made. But, to answer your question - So, should we judge someone as a troll if he asks some questions there? - I can lead you to What is a troll. Again, I regret my comment very much. It goes against the principle of assuming good faith.
 * I also regret that I accused you for trying to recruit other users. (It was about - Very few BD wikipedians have the courage to expand private university related articles on wikipedia - on Niaz's talk page and also about - in some cases private universities are doing better compare to some so called 'Public' universities.--Concured. Yeah, Bro you're right :) Regards - on the East West University talk page). I am not envious of you. In fact I suggested Niaz to talk to you, and awarded a barnstar to you for you efforts regarding private universities in Bangadesh.


 * Finally, please, check your contributions to find that for quite some time now all you are doing is monitoring my edits. I am sure you have a reason for that. That reason until now was quite obscure to me. Now I know that you are doing it because you feel wronged and hurt by me. Very sorry. But, please, if you keep editing mostly my edits and commenting on my comment, sooner or later it may considered as disruption by someone. I have full sympathies for you, not everyone may have that.

I hope this clears up some of the bad blood. I really am sorry (though there were times when I was quite irritated, but now I can very well see the reason). I also hope that we can collaborate on the private university articles. Quite a few still exist only as redlinks on the template, and most others are only loosely structured or poorly referenced. Let's improve the situation (can I hope for a treat now? A cup cake or an ice cream, may be?). Cheers. Aditya Kabir 05:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hahahahaha...Now That's become your proof !! Umm you'r trying to be a good man by providing this epic(in the name of  a billion times, that I have hurt your feelings). What about your hidden bad blood? However that was good approach. And might make you happy.No hard feelings.Keep up the good works :). Thanks--NAHID 20:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Boulogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Boulogo.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
