File source problem with File:Land of Punt.png
Thank you for uploading File:Land of Punt.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

July 2018
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at DNA history of Egypt, you may be blocked from editing.

To Ryanoo
Ryanoo I think you are the vandal here you keep posting misleading information under the guise of fighting vandalism and you've been described by other people in your talk page as being "weasely" in the June 2018 conversation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ryanoo

There seems to be a consorted effort from You to scrape the term Northeast Africa completely from Wikipedia and even online because Egypt would then be attached to Sudan and the Horn of Africa. One such vandalism you did was on the Somalia page on 19:15, 15 June 2018‎, you made edits which do not correspond to the information cited in the source. I think you're part of the people who promote the Middle East origine of Egypt and hence anything that can attach Egypt to Africa must be scraped according to your agenda including the regional term Northeast Africa which has always been used. Arboleh (talk) 18:23, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at DNA history of Egypt, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Ryanoo (talk) 18:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Misleading information
Why is it forbidden to quote directly what the study listed as reference[8] has found in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_history_of_Egypt? There's a user by the name of Ryanoo who refuses that the study be quoted this user and others also scrape the term Northeast Africa from any Horn Africa pages such as the Somalia page to the point that the Northeast Africa page was deleted and redirects to another region even though the regional term Northeast Africa has always existed, the CIA for instance locates Sudan in Northeast Africa but that page was deleted from Wikipedia. There seems to be a deliberate and Consorted effort by some groups to deliberately censure information in Wikipedia under the guise of anti-vandalism and it's for that reason we need to bring back the Northeast Africa page and an Admin to monitor these groups who scrape that term. Arboleh (talk) 19:10, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Depends on how big the quote is. A quote is normally non-free content, and should therefore be as small as possible. See Quotations for more information. Ron h jones (Talk) 19:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

This is the quote: "two of which could be assigned to the Middle-Eastern haplogroup J, and one to haplogroup E1b1b1 common in North Africa". I've added it also to the talk section of the page with some other concern they have yet to allow because they keep reverting it. Arboleh (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey, Ronhjones Can you please help me stop this Ryanoo he keeps vandalizing my page by posting sockpuppet templates, his behavior is troll-like and other people referred to him as 'weasely' and even indicated his abuse of the tools, can you please help me report him. Arboleh (talk) 20:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Quote looks short enough - less than 40 words so use the Template:Cquote. Other user warned. Ron h jones (Talk) 14:42, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

I can't add it, they locked the page, the fact that they can't even allow direct quote from their own source says a lot. Also, why isn't Wikipedia investigating their scraping of an entire region of the world from the net? Is Wikipedia part of this agenda? If these racists want to keep Egypt in their Middle East page that's fine but they should not be allowed to erase an entire region because it does not conform to their racial agenda. Can you please send this to higher ups or tell me how I can request that Wikipedia opens an investigation as to why these people are being allowed to rewrite the history of an entire region or if this is a done deal and nothing can be done about it as it is a Wikipedia policy. Arboleh (talk) 19:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No-one can edit. They did not lock it, an admin did it due to edit warring. You have to discuss on the talk page. If you cannot agree there is always WP:Dispute resolution Ron h jones (Talk) 22:43, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Somali boys wearing traditional clothing.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Somali boys wearing traditional clothing.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  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 00:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

File:Somali boys wearing traditional clothing.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. Ron h jones (Talk) 18:13, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Somali boys wearing traditional clothing.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Somali boys wearing traditional clothing.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:45, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

November 2018
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is The user Arboleh. Ryanoo (talk) 06:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for adding your admittedly unfortunate encounters with Ryanoo to Admin pages and opening an ANI. I had the same impression (that he was possibly a racist) because of his irrational attacks of anything associated with Black people or states that have ethnic group populations that would be racialized as Black in the West. I was too afraid to say it since this user is fond of twisting words and evidence to support their personal biases and Wikipedia seems to be a place where they can openly discriminate without repercussion. I hope that changes ...

Peace to you my friend and keep doing what you're doing, Itaren (talk) 07:04, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I am not an Afrocentric as Ryanoo is accusing me, I am just trying to clean up bias and misleading claims in Wikipedia. When he first attacked me I didn't know why he was doing it but then I read the North Africa page and I was shocked of the language he was using, this person is clearly racist and there's not way to sugarcoat it and if Wikipedia has him harassing and attacking people who want to contribute and ignoring their complain about him then to me they condone his behavior. He's really unabashed about his racist views towards other Africans and doesn't even hide it, it's actually the opposite he likes to spit them. I don't have a problem with his Eurocentric view of Egypt, he can keep calling it Mediterranean Middle Eastern transcontinental country or whatever, but he and his friends should not be allowed to censure the region called Northeast Africa from the internet. Arboleh (talk) 07:46, 7 November 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem, I just thought a “thank you” was due. I agree with you ... it isn’t Wikipedia’s concern what their personal feelings are but it becomes a problem when said person tries to pass it off as fact. I had a pile of books and academic journal citations and the user didn’t care — just saw red. Anyway, from what I can glean from the ANI board it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost and Ryanoo could get a boomerang topic ban from articles regarding Africa.
