Per the policies on the usage of non-free images on Wikipedia, non-free images are not allowed on pages outside of the article namespace, including userpages. An image on your user page is copyrighted and unlicensed, so I had to remove it. I'm sorry if you are upset by my editing your page without your permission, but this is a rule where Wikipedia allows no exceptions. I want to make sure you know that this isn't personal. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or to seek another editor's opinion at the WP:MCQ discussion board. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 12:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware that that image was non-free and took the liberty to put it on my userpage. Thanks for the heads up. Epicurus B.  talk   07:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Per Radush
Tung shoku, a je majr? Ne lidje me kat fjali “the NLA entered Raduša and burned the hospital and the already destroyed building of the Raduša police station”, ju kishte drejt – refernca nuk ishte objektiv. Ajo nuk eshte nga gazet ose liber - une e mora nga nji websajt "Reality Macedonia", cili tash nuk egziston. Teksti ishte kjo: “The Radusa clinic offers a very sad site of scattered paperwork and destroyed installations. Vandals stole all objects of value that could be removed, and destroyed the rest. Our sources from the Ministry of Health doubt that local villagers perpetrated this particular case of vandalism and robbery, since it sounds impractical for the Kosovars to steal and drag the cumbersome stove, desks and ambulance beds. The burglars stole whatever medical equipment and personal possessions the employees had left in their offices, including the stethoscope and glasses of the visiting physician. The only piece of "equipment" left was a once white doctor's coat, now almost unrecognizable dirty grey rag, because the "visitors" repeatedly stomped on it, leaving their footprints”. Ju vendosni nese doni te lejme kat fjali. Tung/Поздрав --Модернист (talk) 16:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Partial reversion
I reverted your addition of PBUH into the article. Was that actually performed by the Checklinks tool?&mdash;Kww(talk) 16:22, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

this is not relevant or necessary information for "early life." is it factually important to state that a jewish person had a bar mitzvah or grew up jewish? do we do this for Catholics, Christians, muslims, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerogravity11 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I'm with you on this one. The bar mitzvah part does seem to be of no significant importance. You should present this at Darren Arronofsky article's talk page. ' Epicurus B. (Not my talk page) ' 22:57, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Edits to the 100 years Celebration Page
Pershendetje,

Teksa isha duke bere nje ndryshim te faqes per 100 vjetorin e shqiperise pashe qe ke hequr informacionin qe sapo kisha shtuar. Cfare kisha vendosur une nuk ishte nje reklame por informacion per nje event qe do behet ne Amerika. Kjo eshte menyra jone per te festuar 100 vjetorin e pavaresise. Dhe duke qene se kjo eshte nje faqe per te informuar njerezit per festimet qe do mbahen ne ter boten, edhe festimet te Amerike duhet te listohen ke faqja.

Nese ke ndonje pyetje apo do te konfirmosh qe informacioni i shtuar eshte i sakte mund te me dergosh nje mesazh. Gjithe te mirat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korneliasto (talk • contribs) 23:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Pershendetje shoku! Sigurisht qe cdo informacion mbi kete eveniment te madhe shqipetare eshte i mirepritur mirepo menyre se si eshte shkruar teksti qe ju e kishit vendosur bie nen kategorine e reklamave.

"Troy, Michigan-Albanian Cultural Club. Celebrating 100 years of Culture, Language and Tradition. Join us on November 17th, 2012 and enjoy a traditional Albanian concert featuring the students of Shkolla Shqipe. These students, the future of the Albanian community in Michigan, will sing songs, recite poetry and entertain us with traditional Albanian dances including the valle. Our goal is also to raise $10,000 to support the programs of Shkolla Shqipe. Come and celebrate with us so we can make sure that the Albanian legacy is passed on to the new generation. Visit our page for more information and find us on Facebook and twitter under Albanian Culture. http://albanianculturalclub.org/"

Shembull fjalet si "Visit our page" nuk duhen te jene te pranishem ne artikuj enciklopedik jane ne kundervim me rregullat e wikipedias. Ky tekst duhet te shkruhet ne kete menyre:

"The Albanian Culture Club from Michigan, Troy announced that on November the 17th, 2012 an event celebrating the 100 years of culture, language and tradition of the Albanian people will be held. The event will include poetry recitals, music and traditional Albanian dances, like the 'valle'. [and then you add the sources here]"

Number of Albanians in Macedonia
What you makes man we are Albanians you also ............... !!!!!!!! It give 900,000 albanian macedonian — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.72.245.145 (talk) 17:51, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Just because I am Albanian doesn't mean I have official-census changing abilities. The 2002 census clearly states that there are not 900k Albanians in Macedonia and that has to stay until a new census (hopefully soon) gets the green light. In Wiki original research is not tolerated. ' Epicurus B. (Not my talk page) ' 19:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * In the 2011 election the albanian parties got around 18%.I think that the 900k is an impossibility Vargmali (talk) 10:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

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


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

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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 01:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Albanian and Notifications
Greetings!

I was wondering if you could help out with a small translation project.

We are releasing Notifications to the Albanian Wikipedia next week. There are still three priorities to double check for translations to make sure they are complete and accurate so that the Wikipedia gets the best experience possible:
 * Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
 * Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
 * Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia.  You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.
 * Checklist

If you have any questions you can email me, kpeterzell [AT] wikimedia [DOT] org or you can contact me on my meta talk page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 03:33, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Christian POV pusher
A Christian POV pusher keeps on inserting a large section of Christian nonsense at the Bart Ehrman page in clear violation of WP:BLP.

Proposed deletion of The Chosen Few (Electric Wizard song)


The article The Chosen Few (Electric Wizard song) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No references, no claim of notability, fails WP:NSONG and WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Electric Wizard - The Chosen Few.ogg
 Thanks for uploading File:Electric Wizard - The Chosen Few.ogg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:19, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello Epicurus
Hello Epicurus,I'm working in the History of Albania article a lot lately,and I want to nominate it to at least GA class.But it needs a lot of work.Especially with citation.There are many uncited assertions,25 I've counted,and many of those assertions are true,important to the article but lack citation.So except for me nobody has been editing there much lately and so I thought I'd invite you to come and hopefully help me out so that together we can get this article to GA class,maybe even A or FA,who knows.Best wishes.
