Thanks for contributing to the article Department of Materials, University of Oxford. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Kuru  (talk)  23:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

International Journal of Fatigue moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, International Journal of Fatigue, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * I have reverted yout action and instead started a talk. I have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, I can now create articles without posting a request. and I dont need to "Submit your draft for review!" as you stated. Abdo2905 (talk) 11:04, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I disagree with your opinion. Scientific journals have couple of features, one of them is citation score, ISO 4, issn, and eissn, see WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. All of these are extracted from a source; thus, referenced. It’s not like I decided to give the journal these attributes. My article is not different from Acta Materialia, Scripta, Materials & Design and countless other examples. Abdo2905 (talk) 06:48, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. 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) 09:30, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mohamed Nagi Alassam


A tag has been placed on Mohamed Nagi Alassam 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Mohamed Nagi Alassam after being released in April 2019.png
Thanks for uploading File:Mohamed Nagi Alassam after being released in April 2019.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I added the tage .. Sorry I should have uploaded from the beiging as non-free fair use as the different versions of the picture exists through the interent and is used by alot of new outlet. I hope that solve this problem Abdo2905 (talk) 18:35, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Modulated microstructure for DSS.jpeg. 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 seven 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. Whpq (talk) 16:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Whpq I provided some reasoning to most the images you have flagged. I’m not sure if that fully justify usage, although it is make sense to me .. but please feel free to delete them. Thnx for checking - Abdo2905 (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The image was missing a source. A source is needed in order to verify the license.  I just looked at the paper that you provided as a source.  The version of the paper I am looking at (retrieved from ScienceDirect) does not have a Creative Commons license of any sort, nor is this image in the paper.  It instead has the other image.  And checking the other source, it has this image so you it looks like you got the two sources swapped.  However, for both of these papers, the version I am looking at does not have a Creative Commons license noted. -- Whpq (talk) 03:56, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Whpq The articles are open access articles. I can use these images for my thesis and I assumed I can use it here too. I trust your expertise and as I mentioned earlier you can delete them. meanwhile I will email the authors for permission and surely then you can revert you action. Thanks alot for your patience. Images are really tricky -- Abdo2905 (talk) 08:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not very familiar with open access for academic works. My understanding is that open access refers to the fact that access to the papers does not require payment, and not the licensing.  Some journals may also provide the papers under some form of Creative Commons license, but that is not the case here.  A paper published with a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license would have that explicitly stated in the paper itself. -- Whpq (talk) 12:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Regarding these two messages on the file talk pages, I am not sure what you are trying to communicate. I'm assuming it is a screenshot from Copyright.com that is supposed to show it is free. But that shows that the cost is free. Freely licensed does not refer to cost. It refers to the rights one is granted to use, build on, create derivative works, etc. Also, if that screenshot is from copyright.com, then the screenshot is copyrighted and you need to request its deletion from Commons immediately. It is a copyright violation and cannot be hosted on Commons. -- Whpq (talk) 23:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I disagree. The screenshot shows that I can use the illustration for a non-commercial web page for free.Without spending time in the semantic of your argument, if I don't need to pay to get the image for a non-commercial web page, then it equates to being freely licensed. 'It refers to the rights one is granted to use, build on, create derivative works, etc.' = Creative Commons NonCommercial license.
 * ' if that screenshot is from copyright.com, then the screenshot is copyrighted ' FuzzyMagma (talk) 06:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I can borrow any number of books including Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from my local library and I pay nothing. I have no intention of commercial use of that material but that book is assuredly not under any sort of Creative Commons license.  For your information, WP:Free licenses lists all of the acceptable free licenses at Wikipedia.  Creative Commons Non-commercial is not one of the accepted licenses because re-users of Wikipedia are allowed to use Wikipedia for commercial purposes.  But that is a digression.  Just because you don't pay anything does not mean there is a Creative Commons license.  AS for your "citation needed", the footer of the copyright.com page is quite clear: "© 1995–2022 Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. All rights reserved." -- Whpq (talk) 12:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has different licenses including non-free. You can recommend the appropriate license and that would have been more helpful.
 * And I’m not sure what is your library example have to do with images used in webpages FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:23, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The point is that there is NO appropriate license. The copyright holder is the only one that can apply a license to the work.  We can't just make up licenses and apply them to somebody's copyrighted work. -- Whpq (talk) 12:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Let’s agree to disagree. If a professionally trained lawyer checked these images and allowed me used for the online version of my thesis, then I’m more inclined to believe I’m right. BUT you do whatever you think appropriate, given your wealth of knowledge and wiki-‘rank’.
 * PS: please don’t interpret challenging your views as more than what it is. I truly learned alot about licensing from fact-checking your views. Thanks — FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Abdo2905! Your additions to European Synchrotron Radiation Facility have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 16:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * It’s rephrased and then referenced. I cannot rephrase names and dates. I’m not sure if I agree with you Abdo2905 (talk) 16:25, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Moneytrees your edit to Angus Wilkinson is really out of order! If you check his notable work you will these are the will known facts about him. He does that! You cannot rephrase the name of techniques 🤦‍♂️ Abdo2905 (talk) 16:33, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Moneytrees and now VAMAS! It’s rephrased from 4 websites! start a talk before you ruin something that took me time to write and rephrase. I’m not here to rewrite history from my head. And I cannot reverse your edits. Wikipedia administrators 🤦‍♂️ Abdo2905 (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * All text you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Content copied from or to closely worded to sources is considered a copyright violation and does not need discussion to be removed. Yes, there is some text that is too basic to rephrase and will inevitably overlap with the source, but what I removed did not fall under that. I've seen you've rewritten some of what I removed, I reworded some of your rewrites a little more as they were still close to the source. Close_paraphrasing has some information on avoiding close paraphrasing; my advice is to cut out less relevant details and keep prose simple. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 15:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Moneytrees thanks for doing that and the advice FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:54, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

October 2022 (or What is ethnicity and race?)
Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Saber Khalifa article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 12:21, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @GiantSnowman Saber name was listed on the Afro-Arab page with over 80 other names. I added the category to each one of them and then reduced the names to only 5.
 * the term afro-arab, similar to african American, relates to ethnicity and solely based on “perception”. I’m sure both of us will agree someone like Snoop Dogg is african American not because there is a reliable source says that but mainly because we perceive him as such. That’s might end up being wrong.
 * As Saber name was listed by someone else as afro-arab and from my own “perception” as being native to the region, I concluded that he Afro-arab. FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:35, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:WIKIPEDIAISNOTARELIABLESOURCE. GiantSnowman 12:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @GiantSnowman that has nothing to do with what I said.
 * Make sure to remove O. J. Simpson from the african American category. There is no reference for that too. And he is known for saying, ‘I’m not black, I’m OJ’. Which mean we need to create a new category for ‘OJ’ people.
 * i will revert you edit. it’s ok that you don’t see ethnicity but most of us do FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You are adding unsourced wP:BLP content to articles; that is not acceptable. GiantSnowman 12:44, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @GiantSnowman do you know what the terms Afro-Arabs entails?
 * Sabir is an arabic name for someone who is born in africa. Khalifa, his father, also has an arabic name and he is born in africa.I really think you just want to win this regardless even when I provided examples of why you are wrong FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You have not provided any reliable sources, like I said. You are using original research. GiantSnowman 12:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @GiantSnowman I don’t think I need that for the same reason I don’t need to prove Sabir is a human and not a humanoid. I already provided examples.
 * I think you try to pretend that you don’t understand how ethnicity and race work, and we seem to resch a dead end here, I think getting a third opinion from someone who preferably can see color because I dont agree with you.
 * PS: please stop tagging random policies FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:01, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

 * If you're willing, you're welcome to work on Irradiation at some point. It's an important topic yet the article is in a horrible state. BorgQueen (talk) 12:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @BorgQueen I might know some people who I can entice to share their literature review about irradiation effect on inorganic materials but irradiation itslef will be beyond my expertise. The EBSD article was based on my own PhD literature review as it takes months of focus work to write a coherent literature review.
 * There are already literature review competitions which I am try to literally infiltrate to point them toward contributing to Wikipedia as these literature reviews are reviewed by experts .. but but but for some reason there is a huge disconnect between scientist and Wikipedia.
 * This might not be the place, but I believe Wikipedia can setup a similar literature review competition for PhD students (which I can easily find the fund for) which will surely help the scientific content on Wikipedia. What do you think? FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I see. Well, the word fund alone is a red signal as the Wikipedia community very much frowns upon any amount of money involved, in any way, for any purpose. BorgQueen (talk) 13:07, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @BorgQueen fund for the prize and ceremony. PhD student already do the work as part of their PhD and an acknowledgement won't be missed. But the appeal (and risk) here is using Wikipedia name to get free labour from a community that does free labour already but for scientific journals that actually earn money from that free labour.
 * For me the scientific community work ethic and Wikipedia are surely aligned at least when it comes to accessible publications and freedom of knowledge. I think I am asking you (as a well versed admin) to tell me if there is a value to the idea, what can be improved, and how to move it forward? FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Even if the fund is for a prize, the prize is still an indirect payment. Paid editing isn't banned on Wikipedia so long as they properly disclose it, as per Paid-contribution disclosure. But I'm probably not the best person to ask about this subject. I suppose Village pump (proposals) might a good place to start a discussion on that. BorgQueen (talk) 13:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:H. G. Carrillo.webp


A tag has been placed on File:H. G. Carrillo.webp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * As long as all the criteria for doing so are met! If there's a service that charges money for a given image, then, as stated above, it isn't to be treated as fair use, regardless of the subject of the image, live or dead, human or inanimate object.

Anything to do with history, politics, society is fine...for science topics please find someone else. ;) Cielquiparle (talk) 07:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Cielquiparle many thanks for the offer. since that GA., I have doubled the article size. User:Hameltion kindly went through the article, copy edit it, and tagged the article where clarification and other things were needed. How about you have a crack at the GA review instead, and if the article is beyond hope, I will respect your quick fail. But if it needs minor work, please give me a chance to learn. How about that? FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I checked the GA Review archives to see if this would be considered inappropriate canvassing, but I believe it's not. I think the best thing to do is to submit it for GA Review when you're ready, and if I happen to see it and have the time, maybe I will review it or maybe someone else will get to it first (though they appear to have quite a backlog, so who knows). I think the main thing is to not submit it until you feel that the article is in good enough shape, and you have a week free to respond to any comments (though it's always hard to time it exactly, since some reviews happen right away and others don't). Cielquiparle (talk) 21:09, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cielquiparle it has been nominated since 5th of Feb but I understand you reluctance to review it as you literally doing it because I asked you. No pressure. Can you please then - instead - go through Archie Mafeje and the Mafeje affair and treat as a GA review (not an actual one), just for me to learn from you? FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I think choosing both of them is being too creedy, do one article when you have time. again thnx for the offer FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

 * @Marchjuly I was working under the assumption that pictures for dead people are far game but recently discovered it’s not. Sorry for having to clean after myself FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:06, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Non-free photos of deceased individuals are generally allowed per item 10 of WP:NFCI, but their uses still need to comply with all ten non-free content use criteria. Unfortunately, any photos attributed to Getty Images or other types of commercial image companies are pretty much never allowed per non-free content use criterion #2 unless the image itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary. If you've done a reasonable search for a free-equivalent image of Winch per WP:FREER and wasn't able to find one, then perhaps another non-free image that's not from Getty or a similar company can be uploaded and used instead. Before you uploading anything though, you might want to try and find out as much as you can about its provenance. A lot of sites use images, but don't say too much about where the image comes from. You may need to try and searching for the origin of the image via Google Images or even maybe something like Tineye to try and narrow down where it originally came from. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:50 piasters film.jpg


The file File:50 piasters film.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "WP:DECORATIVE non-free use of a non-free movie poster Ibrahim Mursal which fails WP:NFCC. Non-free movie posters are generally allowed when they're used for primary identification purposes in the main infoboxes or at the top of stand-alone articles about the movies they represent, but other types of uses are much harder to justify per WP:NFC. There's no sourced critical commentary specifically about this poster in the paragrah about the film in the 'Film career' section of the Mursal article, and there's nothing about what's written about the film that requires the reader seeing its poster to understand; so, there's no real loss of encyclopedic understanding caused by omitting the poster from the article."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 file's talk page.

Please consider addressing 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 files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:21, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Marchjuly the way I saw it is that the first paragraph was describing the movie and if you see the Italian movie counterfeit you might understand why I thought the image is needed. If you disagree, then I trust your expertise on this one FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:09, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * A single paragraph describing a movie found within an article about the movie's director is generally not considered sufficient justification for non-free use in and of itself. If there was sourced critical commentary specifically related to the movie poster (e.g. a controversy associated with), then that might be considered a justification for the file. Similarly, if the director was also well-know for designing/creating the poster art for their movies and their efforts have been discussed in reliable sources and sourced content related to their movie poster artwork is added to the article, then this too might be considered a justification for non-free use as a representative example of their work. Any other types of non-free use other than those types of things is likely going to be not allowed per WP:DECORATIVE. You can, of course, disagree with my assessment by WP:DEPRODding the file and itss non-free use can be further discussed at WP:FFD if you like, but I think you're going to have a very hard time establishing a consensus in favor of its non-free use in that article based upon how the file is currently being used. You can also ask for more informal feedback at WT:NFCC or WP:MCQ if you like. The file is not going to be deleted for at least a week from the date it was proposed for deletion; so, you have time to seek other opinions if you want. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I accept your call on this then. Sorry for learning about the rules "the stupid way", by making mistakes. FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:31, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize and there was nothing stupid about what you did. There's nothing wrong with learning by doing and making "mistakes"; that's pretty much how everyone figures things out when it comes to Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

File:VAMAS 1st Two Chairs.png
You uploaded File:VAMAS 1st Two Chairs.png to Commons, but I'm going to ask you about here. You uploaded the file as "own work", but this has a special meaning when it comes to image copyright and Commons. Did you take this photo yourself back in 1983? Is your uploading it to Commons the first time it has been published if you did? When it comes to scans of somewhat low-resolution files taken years ago that are uploaded to Commons, more formal verification of copyright ownership is often asked for just in case unless there's some way (e.g. EXIF data, online publication) of verifying copyright authorship. Such files can end up tagged for speedy deletion per c:COM:CSD or nominated for deletion per c:COM:DR when there's doubt about their copyright ownership. So, if you did take this photo, you should consider emailing your c:COM:CONSENT to c:COM:VRT as explained here. FWIW, sending in a CONSENT email is also often a good idea if you plan to upload more of your photos under the same license because it can make individual verification of each upload unnecessary. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:50, 30 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Marchjuly no I didn’t take the picture but had the access to some historical files regarding VAMAS made a scan copy of the image among other images and they were meant to be made public. To be honest I was not sure how to tag the image as it’s not licensed and literally found neglected. Do you recommend deleting the image to avoid problems? FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't being claiming something as your "own work" if you are not its copyright holder. Doing so is a common mistake, but it's nonetheless still a big mistake when it comes to Commons and file licensing. Doing so doesn't mean you're going to be immediately blocked or banned, but you should try and be careful about this in the future. If you can figure out the provenance (who took the photo, where it was taken, when it was taken, etc.) of the image, then it's possible that the file might still be OK for Commons and only need to be relicensed. Being meant to be made public isn't really the same as "not or never being eligible for copyright protection". When it comes to photos, the copyright holder is generally considered to be the photographer; however, in some cases, the photo could be considered a work for hire or might be considered to be within the public domain for some reason. If all you know about the photo was that it was in a historical file with other photos, then it's probably going to be hard to keep by Commons. You probably should ask about the photo at c:COM:VPC because copyright laws often vary quite a bit from country to country, and Commons requires a photo like this to be acceptably licensed under the copyright laws of the US (where the Commons servers are located) and in the country of first publication (country of origin). -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok I included all of what I know about the photo in the photo summary. And will pop the question in the village pump as I have similar pictures and scanned letters that I also don’t know what is appropriate way to tag it. Thanks for extensive and very informative reply FuzzyMagma (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I asked to look at the file's licensing since he's a License Reviewer on Commons and is also VRT member on Commons. I didn't do so because I thought you were habitual uploader of copyvios and needed to be warned; I did so only to seek another assessment of the "Two Chairs" photo. What Jeff G. did was of his own accord and was based on his own experience, which is more extensive than mine, when it comes to Commons. Prior to your post on Jeff G.'s Commons user talk page, I hadn't even looked at your Commons user talk page and was just assuming that you were uploading a file to Commons for the first time with the "Two Chairs" photo. It does, however, seem you've been using Commons for quite awhile and have had issues with some of your previous file uploads (many have been deleted), and this might be part of the reason why you received the warning you received.Wikipedia and Commons are separate projects with their own respective policies and guidelines, and the Commons community can be a bit prickly when it comes to repeatedly uploading files with questionable licensing. Tagging the file with "npd" was actually a way of "assuming good faith" and giving you a chance to resolve the issue; the file could've been tagged as a "Copyvio" instead which would've made it subject to immediate speedy deletion.Finally, there's no discussion about the file anywhere on Commons that I can see. I advised you about the issue with the file on here on your Wikipedia user talk page because that's where I thought you were more active, but Commons files ultimately need to be resolved on Commons. So, if you disagree with the assessment of this file's licensing, you can challenge the speedy deletion tagging by following the instructions given on the file's page and clicking "Challenge speedy deletion". If you somehow feel you were inappropriately warned or otherwise treated poorly, you can seek input at c:COM:AN/U. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:41, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Marchjuly many have been deleted is not true. I don’t consider less than 5% as many. as I explained in commons. You can have a look and judge for yourself if it was intentional or honest mistakes.
 * Anyway, I would have appreciate if I was tagged into the discussion and not discovered it because I could have replied by saying that I have already sent an email to the commons team for verification. As the discussion after all was about my upload which now turned to a final warning without any proper discussion. I do no think I will need to escalate things as most seasoned editors here do not take things personally and capable of reasoning and accept other opinions.
 * That does not take anything away from your helpful discussion and guidance here, for that I am grateful FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:28, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * All the red links on your Commons user talk page indicate a file has been deleted; it seems there is more red than blue, which to me means "many". I didn't go through your contributions history to check on actual numbers. If it's only 5%, then that might seem low to you but for Commons it could still be too many if you're a very proflic file uploader. If you emailed VRT about the "Two Chairs" photo, you can add c:Template:Permission pending to the file's page. This should ensure the file remains undeleted until a VRT member reviews the email. If the email checks out, the VRT member will replace the "pending" ticket with c:Template:PermissionTicket; if not, they will replace it with c:Template:Permission received, and let you know why. There's nothing more you can do now but wait. Finally, I didn't notify you of that discussion because I was asking for an assessment first to determine what to do next. The warning that was added could've been added at anytime and is sometimes added when Commons user talk pages look like yours. It could've been added by any user who believes it's warranted. It's equivalent to a user warning here on Wikipedia. It doesn't mean your account is certain to be blocked. You should be able to remove it or any other notifications from your user talk page if you want (archiving is preferred though), but it will be assumed that you read it and understood whatever you remove. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not want to dwell on this longer or invest time on the semantic of what constitute "many", but basing your conclusions on assumptions is not good. All the red links on your Commons user talk page indicate a file has been deleted first not all are red, there are 3 that were not deleted. So I am not sure what do you gain by this generalisation, because they are not everything I have uploaded. So, it means nothing, if I have uploaded 1000 images and 13 were contested and 8 were deleted for different 'mistakes'. Because this is what I am talking about, these mistakes were different and honest, and I offered @Jeff G. the chance to actually go and have look to amend their conclusion.
 * Receiving a "final warning" is not a trivial thing. As it seems things here are based on "perception" where someone will see red links in your talk page and might think your are "habitual" copyvios. I also do not want to receive user warning if I can for the same reason.
 * Again, this is a very thankless place, and I think I have specific gap that I want to fill and would be happy to receive help and guidance, but not "final block" warnings without due diligence.
 * I have no comment about seeking assessment on my work without me being included in the conversation, if that how you do things, then be it. I do believe you would have come back and discussed it once you got that assessment.
 * PS: thanks for explaining how the permission and archiving process works. FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:47, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Sara Gadalla and other articles you wrote
Hi, as you know, I have copyedited your article on Sara Gadalla Gubara, and learned more about her achievements. As I met her during my time in Khartoum and attended the public screenings of her father's digitised films, I am very pleased about your great efforts (as usual) of researching this article. As I don't read Arabic fluently, I often overlook Arabic sources for articles on Sudanese or other topics relating to the Arab world and appreciate your references to let people know that there are such sources, too, besides others in English. - Of course, it's not always easy to find good sources in Arabic, as Arab media often don't give much importance to thorough cultural journalism. ): And here's a minor comment: WP infoboxes are not meant to carry national flags. Looking forward to more cooperation on Sudanese articles. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * @Munfarid1 thanks alot. Truly appreciate your kind words, especially because it’s from someone who I really admire. No more flags, I learned that the hard way. I was doing that because Arabic Wikipedia includes flags in the infobox automatically. FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:42, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Currently nominated: Abdel Halim Mohamed (copy edit), El Hadi Ahmed El Sheikh, Sarah Gadallah Gubara, Mohamed Hamad Satti, Marianne Bachmeier (if you can watch some of the interviews or documentaries which are in german to improve the article further)
 * To peer review (almost ready .. improve lede and copy edit): Mansour Haseeb, Mafeje Affair (can go to FA if someone summarised this), Mohamed El-Amin Ahmed El-Tom, El Sheikh Mahgoub Gaafar, Werner Pinzner,
 * Previously Failed: Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga (copy edit), Archie Mafeje (still writing a section about personality) FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Impressed by your many projects, I understand your current priorities. I myself don't have a lot of time for editing these days, but I will try my best to add whatever I can to your articles. Of course, I will start with the videos in German on Marianne Bachmeier and whatever I can find on Werner Pinzner, even though they are strange characters...Good luck with the GA nominations, as they can be very time consuming... ;) Munfarid1 (talk) 19:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Primary sources for BLP articles
Hello, please do not add personal details to BLP articles based on primary sources as you did at Carole Souter here. This is against the policy at WP:BLPPRIMARY. I have replaced the official source with a list of old members of Jesus College, Oxford. TSventon (talk) 11:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @TSventon Can you tell me why you consider the government website as a primary source? FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I think the government website contains public records that include personal detail, so it is covered by the guidance on primary sources, which says Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. Do use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses. TSventon (talk) 12:11, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @TSventon it does, these are companies record that are verified by the government and published. I think for some kinda of transparency, see and . So the information there are verified against the government records which make it more reliable than any record
 * your Jesus College refs: Normally you are approached by the college to provide this information about yourself
 * I really don’t think your conclusion that the government website can be considered as primary source fit any definition of primary source, and your Jesus ref also does not.
 * So can you please put it back both of the government refs does not contradict each other but the government ref provides the month (May)
 * if you still disagree, can you please tell me why public governmental records are considered primary sources? FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:21, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that the wording of WP:BLPPRIMARY clearly covers dates of birth on the Companies House website. If you disagree I could start a discussion on the Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. WP:BLP is an important policy, so editors who edit BLP articles should understand and follow it. TSventon (talk) 12:32, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok let's do that as I think I am asking you to justify the woridng of a policy which is not right. Thanks FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:39, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok done see Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for doing that, I will wait to see what answers come in. It is possible that alumni provide some of the information on Jesus College's list of notable old members, but I think that it is an acceptable source for a date of birth or maiden name per WP:ABOUTSELF.

 * @Diannaa sorry for that copyvio, I really thought I did a good job with paraphrasing (which I corrected it), but one thing to note: Under the 1996 Sudanese law, copyright does not extend to state emblems and symbols or official documents.[1996 Section 6] "Official documents" means the official documents issued by the State or its institution, corporation or unit and which, by virtue of their specialization, are issued for publication to the public, including laws, Presidential or administrative orders, international agreements and judicial judgments, but not including military documents, secret agreements and deliberations of secret sessions in courts or legislative bodies".[1996 Section 3], see Copyright rules by territory/Sudan
 * Nevertheless, I am really sorry, i truly believed that I did a good paraphrasing which I did re-do immediately regardless of the licence FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Regardless of what the Wikimedia Commons has to say about copyright law in Sudan, the source webpage says "Copyrights 2016 @ Presidency of the Republic - The Republican Palace. All rights reserved. It's not allowed to re-publish any of the content of this website or transmitted in any way, whether electronic or otherwise without the prior permission from the press office of the Presidency of the Republic - The Republican Palace." I have to assume that they really mean it. — Diannaa (talk) 19:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Tbh I’m not going argue to the contrary and put the Sudanese law before what is written on the website, bas I have already paraphrased all of the contested text. I will leave it to you to decide whether my recent amends to the article can help with removing the copyvio template from the article (you can find the fix article below this comment, deleted). And I’m happy to face the consequences for my foolishness if you upheld what is written rather than the law .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The new version is acceptable. Thank you for taking the time to do that. — Diannaa (talk) 13:31, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Republican Palace (Sudan)/Temp


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Republican Palace (Sudan)/Temp. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Republican Palace, Khartoum. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Republican Palace, Khartoum. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fram (talk) 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm a little curious as to why you (FuzzyMagma) felt the need to copy the page to a /Temp page. Does it have something to do with the copyright issue?  I'm hesitant to delete it if you need it for purposes of addressing the copyvio, however such temp pages do not belong in mainspace.  Before Draft space was a thing that kind of work was usually done in talk space, now it's usually done in draft space.  I'm moving the page to draft.  If you don't need it, let me know and I'll delete it. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 15:35, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Eh, never mind.  already beat me to it and deleted it.  If you do need it let me know and I can restore it and move it to draft space. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 15:36, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @ONUnicorn and @Fram that was a link that was given to me post the text i.e., you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page ... FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * In the Talk namespace, yes (and even then you would need clear attribution of where you got the text from). But not in the main namespace, where you placed the page. Fram (talk) 15:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * As I suspected. Do you want me to restore it and move it to the appropriate location? ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 15:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @ONUnicorn I have no clue what to do tbh, but the copyvio issue will be reviewed by an admin which I guess can see that the page was deleted and recert it if they wish. The text itself is not different from the text in the page now. Leave it deleted for now FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi
Please don't be upset about what happened. I've been through such things, too, during my early days on Wikipedia. I certainly hold your contributions at a high esteem; we need more coverage of North African topics, which are very much neglected. BorgQueen (talk) 13:14, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Really thanks for these words. I took some days off to clear my head. I am sure there was better ways to articulate my argument but I cannot deny that constant “movement of the goalpost” got to me eventually (+ the whole 2023 Sudan conflict.
 * I opened my accounts today and expected to face more of the same but these kind words truly change my “anxiety” to complete calm. Thanks FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:19, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm using Sara's image in Template:Did you know/Preparation area 3, as we need to feature more accomplished women. Hope it is indeed PD. BorgQueen (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @BorgQueen it’s. The 1980 date is an over estimate as a version of the image can be seen in this article of 1973 race.
 * thanks for including the image. FuzzyMagma (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
