License tagging for Image:Our Lady of Bekaa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Our Lady of Bekaa.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 19:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:OurLadyofBechouat01.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:OurLadyofBechouat01.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Terrorism in Syria
Hi, The content you added to terrorism in Syria is excellent, but it came across a little POV which is why I reverted to an earlier version. Feel free to re-add the content, but please keep in mind WP:NPOV. Thanks, KazakhPol 21:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi KazakkhPol,

Please do not remove my entries in terrorism in Syria that are very well referenced and with citations. The earlier version you reverted to is POV and not referenced or cited. If you wish to add anything to the subject of terrorism in Syria, please kindly provide citations like I did. Thanks for your contribution, User:Linaduliban, 5 March 2007
 * Please refrain from editing other users' userpages. When you wish to contact another user, you may post to their talkpage - in your case User talk:Linaduliban and in my case User talk:KazakhPol. Part of the problem with your edits to terrorism in Syria are your labelling of attacks or incidents as terrorist. As per WP:WTA, we cannot label acts as terrorist, we can only identify when others label or designate them as such. You are also capitalizing words improperly, such as 'Terrorism'. The "Baathist regime" is a pov way of referring to the Syrian government. Please keep this in mind. KazakhPol 23:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. KazakhPol 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I added some sources to the tabbouleh article, in particular clarifying that it really is a Levantine dish and not a pan-Arab dish. But there is an anon who keeps reverting. You might want to take a look. I try to avoid reverting more than once on an article if I can avoid it. Thanks. --Macrakis (talk) 21:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sylva Channessian
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sylva Channessian, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * No evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable sources that would satisfy WP:N or allow a full, neutral biography to be written about this individual.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Cheers, CP 17:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Linaduliban! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Bikfayaroad.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Bikfayaroad.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

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.

Survey
Hi Linaduliban!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

License tagging for File:Ruegouraudbuildings.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ruegouraudbuildings.jpg. 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) 20:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Can you though not add those unneccessary categories I removed them. Streets of Beirut is just fine as that category feeds into Road sin Lebanon and Beirut category and Roads by city should be for categories anyway, not articles! BTW if you want maps of any of the streets just ask.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately the "non commerical" aspect of the license means it is not useable freely on wikipedia.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:10, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the link to the rue Spears. As you'll see from the article’s history, I have contributed much of the material which appears in the article about Edward Spears.

Invitation to workshops on editing Wikipedia
Dear Linaduliban,

We are a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and AU Sharjah, researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Wikipedia. We are interested in your experiences of editing Wikipedia and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to. First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Wikipedia in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Wikipedia, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Wikipedia and Wikipedia articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions. Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in Cairo from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together.

We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions.

More details can be found by expanding our “Frequently Asked Questions” below. We would be delighted to welcome you to either (or both) event. Please let us know (wikiproject@oii.ox.ac.uk) if you would like the opportunity to participate and we can send you more details. Sincerely,

Mark, Bernie, Ilhem, Ali, Ahmed, and Heather

Your upload of File:Berdawnicafe.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File permission problem with File:The Market NYC.jpg

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 OTRS 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:10, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

The publisher of the Facebook page will email attesting to the fact that I owe the photo I posted. An email will be sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Would that be sufficient proof? If not, I'd be happy to go back to the Market NYC and take another photo!

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).

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. 05:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Lebanese people
Hello, Linaduliban. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Lebanese people have been undone because this box includes Lebanese who currently live in Lebanon. Jewish Diaspora, South European, Greeks, Italians and North African are not Lebanese. The CIA is more reliable.--Canbel (talk) 06:27, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Message text. Lina Du Liban (talk) 14:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC) Hi, Canbel, You misunderstood the edits. The edits I added are about the ethnicity of the Lebanese people based on a very, recent genealogical study conducted by the National Geographic which says, "This reference population is based on the native population of Lebanon." I would appreciate it next time if you would ask for clarification before you undo edits that I put a lot of time and research into. Also, you are not an expert on Lebanon or its people. The CIA date you mentioned references linguistic categorization in Lebanon, not ethnic. To make it easy for you to understand, in America, the majority of people speak English, but it doesn't mean they are all ethnically Anglo-Saxon. They could be of Italian or Chinese ethnicity, but they speak English and are still American. This is the case in Lebanon. While the majority speaks Arabic, ethnically speaking they could be Italian, Arab or of Anatolian or North African descent. I am trying to make this page more updated and based on research and science, instead of only referencing CIA's 2016 estimates. It is very offensive to someone who is Lebanese to be dictated to that that the only data acceptable or "more reliable" on this page has to come from the US Government. I'd appreciate if you check the references that I am adding before you act. I am an expert on Lebanon and the Middle East and have contributed to numerous pages on this topic while you haven't. I will be reediting this page, and my goal is to make this page factual and based on various resources. Thanks!
 * Hi, Linaduliban. I apologize but this should have happened. Actually I am half Lebanese and half Palestinian. You are talking about genetically not ethnicity, it is well known that all the peoples of the world are mixed with each other, an ethnicity, is the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition or a community/population made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent.--Canbel (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Audience by PETROU\MAN


A tag has been placed on Audience by PETROU\MAN, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Georges Nasser (filmmaker)


A tag has been placed on Georges Nasser (filmmaker) 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.

File:TheSellerofRings.png
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:TheSellerofRings.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TheSellerofRings.png. 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 in section F6 of the 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:TheSellerofRings.png
Thanks for uploading File:TheSellerofRings.png. 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).

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Georgina Rizk Miss Universe 1971.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Georgina Rizk Miss Universe 1971.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Bonjour Lina,

I saw (here) that you edited Levantine Arabic in the past.

We have an ongoing debate about the content of the summary and the infobox on the talk page. As you have some knowledge of the region, it would be great to have your opinion.

Thanks for any help you can provide. A455bcd9 (talk) 09:49, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Diamand-Bou-Abboud.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Diamand-Bou-Abboud.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:MiraShaib.png


A tag has been placed on File:MiraShaib.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation&#32;of https://m.imdb.com/name/nm7280537/?ref_=nmbio_rvi_nm_i_1 and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. — Ирука13 00:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
