Speedy deletion nomination of Wissam Al Mana


A tag has been placed on Wissam Al Mana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.therichest.com/celebnetworth/celebrity-business/men/wissam-al-mana-net-worth/ and https://dovedits.com/bihar-zuh/8e6b85-hisham-al-hamad-al-mana-net-worth. 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. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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.

Overlinking
I have reverted a few of your edits, such as Dhaka and Hussain Muhammad Ershad, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason. As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in an article, we never link back to the same page title (a "circular" link), and we do not normally link:- There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to reduce this, not increase it - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:10, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Everyday words understood by most readers.
 * Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
 * Common units of measurement and dates

ok. Thank you for suggestion. Md Nahid Islam Sumon (talk) 10:16, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Kamta S.N High School moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kamta S.N High School, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Md Nahid Islam Sumon! 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. 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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:37, 1 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello. I see you have been made aware of our copyright rules before; I have just spent quite some time cleaning up after your edits since it appears that all major additions you have made were taken from other websites. You have to say things in your own words; additional explanation is given in the message above, and the pages that it links to. Please read them carefully and consider this a final warning: Copyright violations put Wikipedia at legal risk, and you may be blocked if they continue. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.

Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.


 * Responsibilities


 * Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month


 * Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings


 * Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.


 * Facilitate and support communications


 * Affiliate Support and growth

Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict. Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?
 * Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members
 * Required
 * Fluency in English
 * Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.

We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.


 * Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at January 2022 page. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.

A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.

Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for advisors - January 2022
Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for advisors!

The main role of the Affiliations Committee is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and advise the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

We are looking for advisors who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee advisors selected will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.

AffCom advisors can engage with the committee in a variety of capacities: Individuals with extensive movement experience can be engaged as Consultants for specific cases or initiatives by AffCom. Individuals with specific expertise may be engaged for short-term projects for training AffCom or Affiliates. They might also lead the Capacity Building initiatives for AffCom or affiliates. AffCom can request specific or all advisors to act as an observer in different cases to ensure neutrality & compliance with guidelines. Development of Policies: While advisors cannot create legally binding policies for the committee, they can help create policies that provide direction and support for the committee.
 * Consultant
 * Trainer
 * Observer
 * AffCom Support

Planning and Implementing Community Relations: The advisors are long-term wikimedians & also include influential community leaders who can be effective at spreading the word about initiatives and services.

Supporting Subcommittees: The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.

Other Tasks: Advisors can be engaged to address a specific need. Such engagements are usually short-lived and are disbanded as soon as their specific goals are met.


 * Key skills

We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our advisors, including the following key skills and experience:
 * 1) Strong understanding of the structure and work of Wikimedia affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
 * 2) Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
 * 3) Availability of up to 2 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly two-hour voice/video meeting
 * 4) International orientation and ability to work and communicate with other languages and cultures.
 * 5) Knowledge of different legal systems and experience in community building and organizing are a plus.
 * 6) Fluency in English is required; skills in other languages are a major plus.
 * 7) Experience with or in an active Wikimedia affiliate is a major plus.
 * 8) Strong track record of effective collaboration (such as evidenced skills at facilitation, mediation, negotiation, and so forth) is a major plus.
 * 9) Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 advisors selection process will include a public review and comment period. All applications must be posted on Meta between January 01 and January 31, 2022 at the nomination page, and the community will be invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate. At the end of the nomination period, the applications will be voted on by the members of the committee, taking into account comments put forward by the committee's members, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and the community. A final decision will be made in February 2022, with new advisors expected to begin later that month.


 * How to apply

If you are interested in advising the committee, please submit your candidacy on the nomination page between January 01 to January 31, 2022. Your application must include the following information:
 * 1) Your full name and Wikimedia username
 * 2) A statement describing your relevant experience, skills, and motivation for joining the committee as an advisor.
 * 3) The advisor role you would like to serve

 * 5) How do you think affiliates work best together to partner on effective projects and initiatives?
 * 6) What do you see as the role of affiliates in the Wikimedia movement in the next three years?
 * 7) What do you feel you will bring as an advisor to the committee that makes you a uniquely qualified candidate?

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the committee. We are happy to chat or have a phone call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!

Speedy deletion nomination of Eye News BD
Hello Md Nahid Islam Sumon,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Eye News BD for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:02, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
