DYK Nomination
Hi. I've nominated Mango House, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. Sincerely, BobAmnertiopsis (talk) 19:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Amman
Hi, Ldud!

This is the first time I'm creating a post in Wikipedia and I'm not sure where to post it but I hope it appears fine. I found these few articles of yours on Amman that fascinated me! I've been to Jordan a few times. I love Jordan, I love Amman and right now I'm searching for options to go to work there so I was so happy to find those pictures from around Amman that were taken a few days ago only! Thank you! I'll be looking forward to seeing more new pictures and articles.

Your Articles
Hello there, I'm Eyas, a fellow Jordanian wikipedian. Though I haven't been active recently, I'm quite interested in the improvement of Jordan-related articles and topics on Wikipedia; I've previously created a lot of articles on Jordanian politics as well as help in evolving the Jordan page into what it is now. I've seen your contributions to wikipedia, such as Abdoun Bridge, Jordan Gate Towers, Abdoun Circle, etc. and I'd like you thank you a lot for your efforts. There's one problem I noticed, however, and I hope you'll be willing to enhance the articles in that way, and this is, the articles are not linked to. Try to edit other pages such as Jordan, Tourism in Jordan, Culture of Jordan, Economy of Jordan, etc. as to include links to these articles. Also try to make these articles link to each other more, by adding "See Also" sections, etc. That improves the flow of reading and browsing in Wikipedia and makes these Jordan-related articles, and others, more discoverable. Thanks :) Eshcorp (talk) 18:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Little context in Talk:Hub Bicycle Co-op
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Hub Bicycle Co-op, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Hub Bicycle Co-op is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Hub Bicycle Co-op, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Development of WikiProject Jordan
Greetings, I noticed you have been active with Jordan-related articles, recently with Jabal Amman. You should think about jumpstarting WikiProject Jordan. It needs a crap-load of work and Jordan-related articles need more organization and categorization as well as general development. I'll try to recruit more editors to the project and will join myself. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! The purpose of WikiProjects is to management specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia, in this case Jordan; It also serves as a place where users like yourself who edit Jordan-related articles to collaborate and discuss with other Jordan-related editors on how to find solutions to certain problems with those articles, create new articles and expand existing articles. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a great resource to help coordinate and organize article writing and editing. You could take a look at WikiProject Palestine to get the general glimpse. Also make sure to see the talk page, the noticeboard and the portal. If you need anything just ask.

P.S. I am also an American, but I can't write or read Arabic well. ;-( --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

DYKz
I think I just nominated those DYKs...I don't get any credit for them. I did, however, help on the MoS article...whatever. Do you want me to remove them from my page? Bob Amnertiopsis ChitChat Me! 05:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I got the DYK medal for helping Ecoleetage with a few of his articles. I expanded and found more sources for them. Bob Amnertiopsis ChitChat Me!  16:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

JRF Plaques
In your Jordan River Foundation article, you mostly use plaques as sources. Can you take pics of these and put them up on Flickr or Wiki and link to them so the sources are verifiable? Otherwise, who knows whether or not you're telling the truth...(also, it won't get on DYK without the sources' verifiability...) Or, you could link to a reliable website that has at lewast some of the info, especially the hook info. Do something...soon. Bob Amnertiopsis ChitChat Me! 07:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Coo', doo'. But can you get pix of the other plaques? I linked to those pix in the refs, but it'd be helpful to have all the plaques photographed. Bob Amnertiopsis ChitChat Me!  16:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Azraq
Hey, Leo. I hate to have to tell you this, but the Azraq Reserve article isn't actually eligible for DYK. Why? Articles need a fivefold expansion to be able to be featured, regardless of the quality they were before. So, Azraq was about 3,000 when you began and is now at about 5,500. You'll need to get it up to about 15,000 in the next few days if you want it to be featured. I can try to help. Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 03:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, they do not. I know, it sux the box. Here are some book sources: These have some interesting info on how the park declined and what effect it has had. One of them also has some history. I can find more, if you want. Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 23:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ldud, I didn't add that, it was added by someone else (here). I don't remember exactly what sources I used, but given the date I created it, it was probably "The Crusades" by Hans Mayer, and "The Age of the Crusades: The Near East from the Eleventh Century to 1517" by Peter Holt.

Orphaned non-free image File:Teen Creeps 7".jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Teen Creeps 7".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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 07:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Tokyo-Police-Club-champ.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tokyo-Police-Club-champ.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of '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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

leaksallday.com
Hi, I saw that you re-inserted a sentence with a 'ref' to leaksallday here. It was established on our reliable source noticeboard that that site is not a reliable source, and (seperately) that several editors have engaged in reference spamming. That was why the info was removed: if the site is unreliable (and by nature unstable, so the reference 'expires', but that is a separate note), then that sentence does not have any reliability and should be removed. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps


A tag has been placed on Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and give your reasons on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. De728631 (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
