Sorry I didn't know how to reply to your welcoming note
Thank you for encouraging me, I am a new user and don't fully understand how this encyclopedia works. If you could guide me, as for the article I have written it is from my personal information. In Pakistan Nazam Tabatabai is not welknown, it's a pity, in India he is taught upon, some Phd students have written research papers on him, and one of them sent her consolidated book to one of my uncle. You may find more information about him in India, lady who had written the book works in India's education department, probably Secretary of Education. As for what I have written is what I had heard from my Father and Mother, both were grand children of Nazam Tabatabai, My mother was Fatima Zainab Tabatabai, second daughter of eldest son, and my father Agha Ali Ahsan was eldest son of youngest daughter, I don't know how could that be verified. I myself was taught by Nazam Tabatabai's elder son Syed Ahmad Tabatabai, my mothers father. He taught me astronomy, geography and physics, the experience was wonderful and I was almost eleven years old when he died and what he taught me till then, I was much beyond my age. Any how thanks and I will be happy if could be of any help on any matter. So Long

"Muta" is a practice permitted by the Holy Prophet and still believed to be permitted by Shias however as per Sunni belief their second caliph Umar after having a debate among the elder companions decided this practice be stopped, Shia say nothing can be amended by any one once which was initially permitted by the Holy Prophet its only the Holy Prophet who could amend his sayings. Same is the case with "Salat Trawih" (Ramadan late night prayers) Holy Prophet offered these prayers but forbid other Muslims to offer, yet the second caliph made it a part of belief that every Muslim has to offer these, both incidence (Holy Prophets forbidding and second caliph's continuing) are recorded in Hadith books of Sunnis yet it is being practiced. In Muta you can marry temporarily for a predefined period, the man has to pay the woman's expenditure, food, clothes, house etc during period of this marriage. A man for that matter can temporarily marry any woman, however it is instructed that widow or divorced women be preferred (since these women are usually neglected in societies) over unmarried girls. In case of a child birth the child will be of the man and he (child) will have equal rights to his (man's) other children in property and other heritage. The man will bear the entire expenditure of that child upbringing, schooling, living food etc. (oct 12-26 2009, added originally to one of my IP addresses by Baaby_99)

Greetings! Maybe I can help you?
Hi, I saw your comments on the talk page for The Tubes. If you wish to make the article more beautiful with photographs, or begin to build pages and wish to have photos of the members, I can upload them for you, using Creative Commons, CC-BY-SA-- this way there will not be a challenge to delete the photos. I know the photographer. The only reason I didn't ask him for specific photos before now, is that I don't know anything about the band's members, and so can not identify anyone in the photos. But I am guessing you can! Take a look at this photostream, and leave a note on my talk page, if any seem to be of help either on the main page, or in new articles on the individuals.: The Tubes photostream. If you are fairly new to Wikipedia, I'd start just by placing photos on the main band page before making new articles on the members, unless you have a lot of information and references to show what you are talking about!

Primary sources on International of Anarchist Federations article

 * Hey! You made a note that there wasn't much reliable sources outside of ones connected to the IAF in the article, I'm trying to gather some more, and have already added in some new ones (as have others). What do you think, would it be enough to warrant taking off the template, or should I get some more? =D (talk) 14:15, 19 January 2010 (GMT)
 * No problem, glad I could assist, I'm still a novice at editing and still get templates and stuff wrong all the time but am learning as I go along. That's a fair point about sources though, unfortunately there's not too much mainstream, third party coverage of the IAF, I'd put that down to the disregard for anarchist politics by the state and bosses (understandable) in general but I'll try and see if there's anything written in books about the IAF.
 * Haha, that's fair enough, I know a fair number of class struggle anarchists who remain outside of organisations for their own personal reasons, but I think Malatesta puts it quite well in his response to Makhno on the Platform where he argues that anarchists who oppose organisation tend to organise "even better than we do" when they want to get something done on certain issues, making their political opposition to joining organisations moot because humans, by nature, organise. Not to say that you oppose organisations though. Libleft (talk) 01:41, 21 January 2010 (GMT)

Italian Inventions
How can you say that Italy did not invent much in modern times?

The list you voted to delete had references and was true and accurate. No matter what you or other wikipedians might say it contained accurate and verifiable information, especially for someone who would do a minimum of research before deleting stuff. Why no one deleted other similar lists? The one on English inventions is lacking ALL references....not one....zippo....and yet it has not been challenged by anyone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Altes2009 (talk • contribs) 10:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Inspirational Fiction
Thank you very, very much for your personal note to me! I thank you for your civility, and I realize I was getting more and more frustrated with some of the comments of one of the others in the discussion.... I just posted a definition from a public library in Charlotte, which describes inspirational fiction (while acknowledging that all books can be inspiring) as a genre which includes some character's overcoming adversity or reaching a new level of understanding, either by pulling him/herself up by his/her bootstrings, or with the help of a higher power. I thought this might be a very good beginning. Some of Albom's works fit this definition of inspirational fiction, while others (like Have a Little Faith, and Tuesdays With Morrie) would fit in a category of inspirational non-fiction (or literature) using the same basic definition, because those books describe the way the author himself comes to a new level of understanding through the conversations he has with his old teacher, or his old rabbi. Perhaps this is a good beginning? By the way, I do think more categories are helpful. I remember Daniel Moynihan's observation that the world does not need more simplifiers; it needs more complexifiers. I'd be very interested in your opinion, as to whether or not we are getting closer to a definition workable enough to make the category worthwhile? Resnicoff (talk) 22:37, 21 March 2010 (UTC)


 * In the above note, I thanked you for your civility,and now I thank you for much more. I feel bad, but hope everything is sorted out (largely, I think, thanks to you). In the meantime, I've taken a stab at "bold" editing of the article, "inspirational fiction," and wonder if you could take a look? I agree that it would need much better sourcing, but perhaps we're on to something that could make the category make sense?  I would value your opinion.  And, again, I thank you.... NearTheZoo (talk) 23:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Mercurywoodrose: I'm not sure I'm doing this right, in terms of leaving notes for you. I wanted to ask if you would look at the article, "Inspirational Fiction," and let me know what you think. And I wanted to ask if there is a way to delete the discussion of the mistakes I made from the discussion of deleting or not deleting the category.... I don't know if that is allowed or not. Anyway, I thank you again for your help. NearTheZoo (talk) 03:26, 24 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Mercurywoodrose: I was surprised to see that the category, "inspirational fiction," was deleted already. I don't think I want to fight either way, although I still think it is useful, but I just want to learn more about the process. Since there was still disagreement in the discussion of the nomination for deletion, at what point is the decision made to delete it? Thanks! NearTheZoo (talk) 00:58, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Quattron
I'm actually a reviewer for an AV magazine and I discovered your article while doing research for a technical article on color theory and the Quattron system. I had actually found a source saying that Sharp based Quattron on opponent theory, but forgot to add it to your article due to the pressure of deadlines. I'll try and locate it again though. --Ferengi (talk) 11:26, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I just added it to the article only to notice that the ref was already there. Doh! Ok, it doesn't say exactly "opponent color" but the description about "comparing levels of red versus green light and blue versus yellow light, which all happens in a special layer of neurons within the retina" is a perfect match for the theory. --Ferengi (talk) 11:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Reply from me
Thanks for checking it out. I too know nothing about that subject, but admittedly, I am not from India and know nothing about how beautiful their poems are, largely due to the fact that I can't read it! It is not the subject on which [Abdul Hamid] wrote that caught my attention, but rather, what he tried to put on Wikipedia... three years ago and his last edit in 2008ish. I saw one IP address that only contains edits for that particular article and so I know that it has to be him due to the fact that he's done that sort of thing before. No one would particularly target one article like that; it just doesn't make sense.

Hello Mercurywoodrose
Hello Mercurywoodrose I have recently edit the page "List of Urdu Language Poets" which I had done before but you deleted it kindly don't delete it again it is authentic and I personally know the poet and I have more than 20 names who are poets but not mentioned in this article. They all have published books and are read such as Mr. Riaz, Mr. Obaid-ur-Rehman etc. Ahmed Ashraf is also a good poet but he is very young he is only famous in the upper punjab, studies in HITEC Taxila, Pakistan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.120.250.73 (talk) 17:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

History

 * Hello Mecrurywoodrose, I saw your name at the history page and a recent date with it. I have something on my mind that I would like to add to the wikipedia if it is not already in it. I only know the dutch word for it, so I'll describe it. In History it is common practice to research sources. One of the most important things to remember is that a source is merely a person and that this person has a certain position in the world. As such, that person is bound to its standing place so to speak. In Dutch (my native tongue) there is a particular term for it. Is there one in English, and is there a wiki page on it? If so, do you know the term or can you point me towards the wikipage in question?
 * Thanks in advance.

Query
Hello -- you posted a nice, thoughtful comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rob_Baker_(producer) and I wanted to follow up outside of that discussion and get your further thoughts toward that. Don't know if you got to read my longer piece in the collapsed section, which offered links and more information -- but the key point within the guideline seems to be that notability is conferred upon a creative professional if they were a key part of creating a notable project -- which the main producer of a TV show is. It doesn't mention requiring that articles be written about HIM, but rather, about the project. Just being mentioned in articles serves to help "identify" him for purposes of verification. I think this could be a key point which matters toward articles on countless other creative professionals, many of whom most likely haven't attracted a journalist's interest -- as mentioned, the producer, or creator, or chief writer of almost any TV show -- or film -- or book authors, and so forth. Most folks who enjoy entertainment of all forms tend to think of the stars or the characters and not the people who actually wrote or created them. If you were looking for articles on the producer of "Avatar," likely you'd find them. If you were looking for ones about the producer of the Ellen Degeneres Show, or any other random TV show or film of smaller note -- you might not find them. The rule seems to recognize this and allows that a key creator can be deemed notable if the project itself is considered notable, and no one seems to dispute that the project is notable. Then all you have to do is to prove that the person can be verified as holding that role, which in this case no one now seems to dispute. If you think I'm wrong in reading the guideline which says that, notability for creative professionals, item #3 -- then please tell me what's missing? Thanks!
