Image Tagging Image:Latifa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Latifa.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. --Hetar 04:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:LatifaElaToghatAlAlaamClip.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LatifaElaToghatAlAlaamClip.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 04:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:LatifaAndCelineDionWMA2004.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LatifaAndCelineDionWMA2004.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Article translation
Bashari, I'm appreciative that you're translating articles into Arabic, but they shouldn't be added here on the English Wikipedia. Take a shot at the Arabic one; I believe it's at http://ar.wikipedia.org, but you may need to double check that at http://www.wikipedia.org. Foreign language articles are hosted on their corresponding encyclopedia. For now, I've moved the page to your userspace at User:Bashari/Paint Shop Pro, so your work won't be lost. Thanks for your translation work; let me know if you have any questions.  Tijuana Brass E@ 06:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Bashari, thanks for the well wishes and note. The most help I can give you for the copyright question is to direct you to Copyright FAQ, copyright questions can be quite complicated and I'm still learning the ins and outs of the policy myself. If your question isn't resolved in the FAQ, drop me another line and we'll figure out who to ask for more details. Again, I wanted to thank you for doing some Arabic translation, as there's a great need for it. Let me know any time you need help. Ah, and because you haven't ever received a proper welcome to Wikipedia, the following message will do it — it the impersonal, standard note I use on all pages, but you may find the links useful. Have a good one.  Tijuana Brass E@ 07:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Possibly unfree Image:LatifaElaToghatAlAlaamClip.jpg
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:LatifaElaToghatAlAlaamClip.jpg, has been listed at Possibly unfree images. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page to provide the necessary information on the source or licensing of this image (if you have any), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Aboul-Qacem Echebbi
Hi, This seems to be the commonest transliteration of his name. Wouldn't it be best to use it everywhere in Wikipedia? The version Abu Al Qasim Al Shabi gets some Google hits, but Abo Al Qassim Al Shabbi none at all (except where you've added it to articles). Also it might be a good idea to add the original Arabic in brackets after any use of the name. 11:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, It's doesn't really matter because Arab name could be written in many ways using English scripts. Many type my name "Bashar" this way but it's pronounced "Bashshar" with double "SH". I will write his name in Arabic script too ;)

Tildes
Hi Bashari. Please sign your name using four tildes ~ when making your posts on talk pages This will greatly help people in their efforts to communicate with you on wikipedia. Best, Kukini 07:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I thought I did :D BashariRadiant 07:54, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thekra
Hi, Bashari. If you wanted to rename an article, don't create a new page. It is considred vandalism. This destroys the edit history. Instead, use the move button at the top of the article.


 * Also, the Image:Thekra2003.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you indicated that only non-commercial or educational use of the file is allowed. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with this restriction on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, remove this message and replace this with to license it under the GFDL, or  to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use  to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want it to be used on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may replace this message with one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you. --Meno25 02:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Meno25 02:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

External links in Asalah Nasri
Hi, Bashari. The external links in Asalah Nasri should be deleted. Since you seem to be an inexperienced user (you have made less than 300 edits), I will try to use simple language in explaining why. Linking to sites such as: Flickr and Blogger should be avoided. The reason for this is that anyone can write anything in these sites and then use it as a link on an article in Wikipedia. However, note that Wikipedia does not have a consistent policy. If you want more information, please read External links.

I, also, noticed your contributions related to the articles: Latifa and Thekra. Good work. --Meno25 08:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, at the time I am working on the Arabic version of Thekra's biography.

Images, an issue!
Hi Bashari. I noticed you have many image uploads. I think you are tagging them under wrong licenses, and not mentioning any sources. You cannot just tag an image with the GFDL license, when it is actually a copyright promotional photo. I hope you go through all your images and revise their licenses and provide sources where needed. Thank you. ← A NAS  Talk? 00:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Samahni idha la aqdir 'an it-tashrih bi'l-'arabi. I'm having trouble with another editor about the wording on an old coin with an Arabic inscription. He insists that the Swedish translation of the coin is correct, but I do not see those words on the coin at all. Part of the problem is that the picture is blurry. If you would be willing to help me get a correct, complete transcription of the coin, I can send it to the museum that has it and maybe clear up the problem that way. If you can do this, please let me know, and I will send you the URL. Shukran jazilan. Cbdorsett 10:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Shukran marra thaniya. There are actually two coins. For one coin, there is one picture of the front and one of the back, and for the other coin, there are two of the front and one of the back. Here are the URLs:

Coin #15

Coin #14 - low resolution

Coin #14 - left image high resolution

These images are all linked from the page, which is written in Swedish. I will try to get someone to translate the Swedish, but I think it is not helpful at this point. It would be better if you transcribe and translate from your own eyes first, because I think the Swedish may be incorrect. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Cbdorsett 07:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. Did you see the phrase 'ard al-khazar' (أرض الخزر) on any of the coins? Cbdorsett 04:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Latifa
You definitely can. But it is not favored if they make more than 30% of your sources. All the best! ← A NAS  Talk? 16:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Latifa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Latifa.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-no-disclaimers 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 02:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 02:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have tagged Image:LatifaAndCelineDionWMA2004.jpg for the same reason. ShadowHalo 02:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
Hi Bashar, how's it going. Yes, I did tag it for cleanup. The article is in poor shape and needs to be modified in compliance with WP:MOS and WP:AMOS. It also needs copyediting as it contains many typographical and grammatical errors. Regards,  An as  talk? 12:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * In order to keep these files, you should release them under a free license. The best free license to choose, in my opinion, is the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5. To use this license, just tag your article with and replace Attribution with the website/person you wish to be attributed to when reused elsewhere. This license allows others to use the image for free anywhere as long as they attribute it to you or your website. I would also suggest that you indicate in every image's summary that Latifa herself owns the copyrights and has personally allowed you to use them under the free license in Wikipedia. If there are any album pictures, you can release them under fair use licenses, because I think that she doesn't own the copyrights, but the label companies like Rotana do; such images should be released under a fair use license, in this case a  tag should suffice in addition to your source, of course. Your images should be very safe now. Good luck! — An as  talk? 08:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Desert Roses 2.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Desert Roses and Arabian Rythms II.jpg. The copy called Image:Desert Roses and Arabian Rythms II.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 16:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Psp9.png
Hello, Bashari. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Psp9.png) was found at the following location: User:Bashari/Paint Shop Pro. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 08:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

remove Categories
please remove yourself from the Categories like


 * Muslim musicians
 * Arabic language singers
 * Arab musicians

these are for the wikipedia articles not for the users Bazel 06:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I copied Latifa's page source to my user page to edit it and I forgot to remove the categories from it *blushed* radiant guy 23:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use images
Under Wikipedia policies on fair use images, they are not allowed in lists/galleries (like discographies) or on userpages. I have therefore removed the album covers from your user page, Latifa, and Latifa discography. Because fair use image storage is only allowed if they are used in an article, I have marked all of them as Orphaned fairuse not replaced. If they are not used appropriately within 7 days, they may be deleted. If you create articles for them, or add them to existing articles, each one will need to include a fair use rationale. Please let me know if you have any questions about these policies. ~ Bigr  Tex  17:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * While the rules have been in place for a long time, enforcement of the rules is still catching up. I will review Tarkan discography this afternoon.
 * When you get around to creating the articles on the individual Latifa albums, you can upload the images again. If you need to, you could also ask whichever admin deletes the images to undelete them for use in the articles.  I would also be willing to undelete the images as you have the article(s) ready.  ~  Bigr  Tex  19:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have tons of stuff to do, translating some important articles to the Arabic wikipedia. I guess I'll re-upload them again when I create the albums articles. radiant guy 20:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Wa Akheeran (International).jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Wa Akheeran (International).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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Thekra2003.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Thekra2003.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 16:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
