Unspecified source for Image:Shiite.jpg
Salam.

Thanks for uploading Image:01 imam reza.jpg. You've written there:"me, picture taken, fair use because it is available online everywhere whith the intent used in this article." But according to wikipedia policy it's not acceptable. Thus please find the main source of it and clarify the copy right situation to save it from "Speedy deletion". Thanks a lot.--Sa.vakilian 04:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.--Sa.vakilian 04:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Picture of Zaynab's mosque
Argooya, I find it hard to believe that you took that picture. It's too good. You would have to be a professional photographer to get an image like that. Are you a professonial photographer? Do you have a professional website? Zora 05:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Imam_ALI.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Imam_ALI.jpg. 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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 07:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Imam Ali's Shrine.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Imam Ali's Shrine.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shell babelfish 07:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ALLAH.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ALLAH.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

3rr warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. -- Jeff3000 (talk) 23:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies
Hello, unfortunately Wikipedia is not supposed to be a tool for improvement of ideas. Wikipedia has many policies, and one of the most important is verifiability, which means it goes by what is published by reliable sources. Users are not allowed to do their own research or advocate their own view. Along with these policies there is is undue weight which states that articles must use views and names that are used by the majority of reliable sources. Based on these policies, advocating for a name change from Iran to Persia is not acceptable as part of Wikipedia. I hope you understand these policies, and work within the Wikipedia framework. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 23:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * While your content is verifiable, it is the minority view among published reports; the vast vast majority of published articles call the country Iran, and based on the undue weight policy, those minority views don't get as much representation on Wikipedia. There is already an article called Iran naming dispute that factually discusses the issues without saying one side is right or wrong. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 00:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The Undue Weight policy states "We should not attempt to represent a dispute as if a view held by a small minority deserved as much attention as a majority view. Views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views. To give undue weight to a significant-minority view, or to include a tiny-minority view, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute.". So your problem is that your view is not placed, but the the Wikipedia policy goes against your view because the vast vast vast majority of articles don't call Iran as Persia.  You have a handful of people who disagree, and that is precisely where the policy comes into being; their views cannot be given the same prominence, and that is exactly what is done; their views are in the Iran naming dispute article, and not in the main article which would be against the policies.  Furthermore the Iran article already states that the country was known in the past as predominantly Persia.  Please stop pushing your own views, which Wikipedia is not a medium for such use.

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Misuse of Persia
What's with adding Persia as contemporaneous to Iran? It's clearly archaic. Can you find one modern source that treats them interchangeably? El_C 00:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Ghaleye Rud Khan (14).JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Ghaleye Rud Khan (14).JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Credible author
Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner. Can you help your fellow InternetHero?? InternetHero (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
