User talk:Dzlinker/Archive 1

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 06:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Archobarzane
In English sources this is the king known as Ariobarzanes - the article title needs to reflect this and distinguish him from the other kings of that name. I'd also suggest a complete rewrite using reliable (see WP:RS) sources written in English and a bit more modern. You might want to read WP:CITE to see how to do inline citations properly. Thanks for your contributions, it's good to see these new articles. Dougweller (talk) 06:08, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Houhou.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Houhou.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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:37, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: [edit] you want a talk about an image on this article Augustine of Hippo
Hello,

This kind on sentences is rude and unacceptable. Please avoid it for the next times you are writing a message on my talk page.

Otherwise, the use on En.WP is to put "French Algeria" for people born in French Algeria (before 1962), putting "Algeria" instead of "French Algeria" is an OR since, as internationally recognized, Algeria was part of France, not a "Colony".

I hope that you will understand that disruptive edits and PoV militantism aren't appreciated on WP, and I hope that you will not be blocked again because of that, as it happened on last time with your other account, Omar2788.

Thanks for understanding that.

Omar-Toons (talk) 12:20, 5 July 2011 (UTC)


 * what i don't understand is that you are always on my foot steps. I really don't appreciate that, if you can work on other projects that doesn't concern Algeria, it will be really a great thing, since you are not a member of the Algeria Project, and that your edits are symbolic and useless nonsenses, as french Algeria (we've got this talk earlier on the other wiki). about the augustine article, you haven't made any point about your counter edits.
 * Dzlinker (talk)
 * Hello,
 * For the second time, I ask you to avoid this kind of aggressive messages : WP is a participative Project, you can't deny to anyone the right to participate because of his nationality, race, religion, origin, participation to a project or I don't know what else.
 * On the other hand, keeping the NPoV policy on people born in French Algeria is undiscutable, putting "Algeria" instead of "French Algeria" is a PoV since, as internationally recognised, the territory was part of France (not a Colony, nor a protectorate or sth like that).
 * Unfortunately, I have to report that to the Board.

Non-free rationale for File:Arkoun.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Arkoun.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Chaâbi Rock'n Bled


A tag has been placed on Chaâbi Rock'n Bled requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Quiggers1P (talk) 17:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I apologise, my error there, this page is fine in my opinion. Quiggers1P (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chaâbi Rock'n Bled


A tag has been placed on Chaâbi Rock'n Bled requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Replaceable fair use File:Baaziz - poster for a show in Paris.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Baaziz - poster for a show in Paris.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 05:40, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Amar Ezzahi


The article Amar Ezzahi has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * all biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Only warning
This is the only warning you will get for enaging in edit-wars on wikipedia. Do not use the undo/revert function to restore your preferred version of articles - rather please discuss changes on article talk-pages in order to find consensus. Further edit-warring will result in thsi account being blocked.-- Cailil  talk 13:52, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Abdelkrim.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Abdelkrim.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? – Quadell (talk) 19:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

We at Wikipedia frown upon that method for various reasons, mainly because it doesn't move the history or move the associated talkpage. Please use the tool Special:Movepage to move pages in the future and before moving an article to a basically whole new name, please gain consensus on the article's talkpage. I am referring to your move of Kabyle people to Kablyian people. Please be sure to follow procedures and processes we have setup here. Thank you.  JoeGazz  ♂ 14:39, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Please gain consensus on Kabyle people talkpage before implementing an article name change. You have already been requested to do so once before. --Bob247 (talk) 00:20, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:NPA
Hello,

Please avoid this kind of comments in the future, otherwise I'll have to report you for PA to the RA.

Thanks in advance.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Omar-Toons (talk) 11:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Dzlinker, you are risking a block for edit warring at Template:History of Morocco. You may want to respond to the complaint at WP:AN3. If you think that your version of the template is supported by consensus, please link to where that consensus was obtained. You may be able to avoid a block if you will undo your last change. EdJohnston (talk) 13:22, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring at Template:History of Morocco
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Template:History of Morocco. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3.

A question
Hey,

I wanted to ask you re this diff isn't Bejaia a Kabyle speaking city and one of the major cities of Algeria? --Tachfin (talk) 20:17, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's about giving a major city for each province or region. Tizi is the most representative of kabylia berbers - Dzlinker (talk) 02:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok that makes sens. Thank you! --Tachfin (talk) 03:56, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Notice: ANI
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is People born in French Algeria : Nationalistic edits by_Dzlinker. Thank you Tachfin (talk) 04:19, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

talk transfered from here
Hello,

The user Dzlinker is processing a wave of nationalistic edits by replacing French Algeria by Algeria in biography pages of French people born in pré-1962 Algeria, here are some examples:

On each article he was reverted by many users, but he keeps pushing his nationalistic edits.

I'm not asking to block him, but to explain to him that he can't push his PoV this way, but that he has to start a global discussion about people born in French Algeria to seek for a new consensus.

Thanks in advance.

Omar-Toons (talk) 22:17, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * While I don't agree with their edits, I do not see where in this content discussion there is any kind of talk going on, on their talk page or on the articles' talk pages, about why their edits are (supposedly) wrong. No discussion from your side, no discussion from their side--I think you know where this might lead to, after the edit war at Template:History of Morocco. Omar, engage in discussion before you come to ask for the stick. To put it in other words: there is nothing actionable here for an admin right now. Drmies (talk) 22:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay then, I'll try to discuss that with him, even if, I think, the one supposed to start the discussion is him, since he's one who breaks "stabilized versions" and who is reverted by many users, but no prob' ; I hope that it will work this time (since discussion is never easy with him). Thx for the answer. Omar-Toons (talk) 00:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Omar, we've met before, I believe, and I hope you understood this in the spirit in which it was offered. Yes, perhaps they should initiate discussion, for the two reasons you cite, but they don't. At that moment it becomes incumbent on you (in my opinion) to at least make an effort. If you make that effort, and it's beyond reproach, and they fail to respond and/or modify their behavior, you can claim without doubt that you're dealing with a disruptive/incommunicative/whatever editor. It will take more time, but the end result is more likely to be a. changed editing behavior or b. forcible behavior modification. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 02:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This is better suited for a request for comment since a private discussion between you two is unlikely to yield anything or get attention from uninvolved editors. The standard practice is to put the constituent country at the time of birth; however when you look around this is not the case everywhere (e.g: People born in ex-soviet union or People born in Al-Andalus). Tachfin (talk) 04:17, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Tachfin, I never said such a conversation should be private--it shouldn't be. It should be out in the open, but an RfC is a bit heavy-handed at this point, in my opinion. And such conversations, on talk pages etc., often are useful--and if they're not, they provide evidence of engagement or disruption. Drmies (talk) 04:40, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Drmies, I agree with you; I was referring to a discussion that would be between user:Omar-Toons and user:Dzlinker on their talk page. As there have been some attempts here for exmaple. Regards.--Tachfin (talk) 05:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I notified user:Dzlinker Tachfin (talk) 04:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * My standard approach in these situations is to revert the change, make a post on the article's talk page explaining the reason for the revert, then make a post at the editor's talk page notifying them of both the revert, the concern, and the talk page discussion, ending with a request for their input at the article's talk page. This seems to work in the majority of cases.  N419 BH  05:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

this is really totally non human. I asked to discuss the matter with this reverter 2 months ago !!! i suggest a block on him since he refused the talk imposing his PoV. Dzlinker (talk) 19:20, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Talk may go on the same page (tp). Dzlinker (talk) 19:26, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * So... I see that it will not be easier than before.
 * Maybe we can find a solution through WP:CCN?
 * Omar-Toons (talk) 02:46, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Ahem. "non human"? The 'proposal' linked to by Dzlinker starts with "stop defending your false useless point of view". That's nonsense, and we don't have to take that seriously. It is also written in a grammatically challenged way, raising issues of English competency--a fair point, given that this is the English wiki. I note also that they do not address the perceived problems with their edits, noted here by a couple of editors--instead they call for a block on Omar. That's ridiculous. Dzlinker, if you wish to help your case, help it. If you don't see what the problem is (and it seems like you don't--perhaps also a linguistic issue) then it is fair to ask whether you have the competence to operate here. Omar, I'm not sure if that board is the best option since Dzlinker's commentary hardly rises to the level of political discourse; it is little more than knee-jerk responses which can be dealt with by successively warning for what is really vandalism: disruptive and unsourced edits with an ethnic slant. Drmies (talk) 12:53, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if this is a clue of the "discussion" we are supposed to start (even the previous one was more meaningful), I don't think that we will find a solution through Dialog... Correct me I'm wrong. -- Omar-Toons (talk) 23:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I am of the opinion that this might not be a only a "user issue". I think Dzlinker can be reasonably convinced; normally constituent country of birth -which still have to be defined according to each case- is indicated, which in this case would be French Algeria. But I can't find a policy or a clear a consensus on this and thus this is not applied with scrutiny and random searches indicate that it boils down to the main contributors preferences. A centralized discussion about country of birth has taken place here back in 2008, result: no body could agree on anything. Also keep in mind that sometimes users come from other wikis which had adopted other standards which of course do not apply here; this should be clarified for users who might not know it. Tachfin (talk) 04:04, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * french algeria is not a country it's a colony an historic entity imposed by blood and fire!
 * like british america or any thing else,
 * i took a look here it says he was born in present-day virginia.
 * if instead of french algeria we say in present-day algiers or oran or any other city, it's more correct than algeria or french algeria,
 * this's a good overture, hope w'll get threw

Non-free rationale for File:Reconstitution.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Reconstitution.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

File source problem with File:Wattar.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Wattar.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, 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.
