Speedy deletion nomination of Abdul-Husayn Dastghaib


A tag has been placed on Abdul-Husayn Dastghaib requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Lunar eclipse main image
In your edit you state: "main image should show what is actually taking place". Isn't that what the image that I put there does? A single picture doesn't show anything "taking place". The sequence definitely shows something taking place. --TimL (talk) 11:08, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * All the moon shots in the image look equally red and the resolution is so low that hardly any moon detail can be seen. The single image clearly shows the change in color --Muhammad (talk) 11:20, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I would really like to the "hook" image to show a series of stills, what do you think of this image? File:Total_Eclipse_Of_The_Moon.jpg --TimL (talk) 20:31, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a series of images showing the eclipse but I haven't made a composite yet. Give me a few days and we can choose the better then. Thanks :) --Muhammad (talk) 02:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * What do you think of this File:Lunar_Eclipse_sequence.jpg? --Muhammad (talk) 13:03, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * PMFJI, but I think the spacing is too great for an illustration. There are already good images on wikipedia, by the way, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Total_lunar_eclipse_august_28_2007_edit.jpg Victor Engel (talk) 15:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have seen that but it is specific to a particular eclipse and the quality of the images I think is somewhat inferior. I can reduce the spacing if that is a major drawback. Others' opinions are always welcome :) --Muhammad (talk) 15:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In addition to the spacing, I would also suggest aligning them straight, unless there is a purpose to the curve, in which case, the purpose should be mentioned in the caption. Victor Engel (talk) 17:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw the curve in a few images and assumed the curve represented the moon's elliptical path. I can remove it of course. --Muhammad (talk) 11:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Because there are so many small images, I've reconsidered, and think that a single image for the "hook" is fine. It would be nice to have something like this somewhere on the lunar eclipse article, the only problem is that article needs some work, is a bit short right now with not much room for images. Maybe should add it to the gallery that's on the page. --TimL (talk) 17:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I would strongly urge that the lunar eclipse article be cleaned and expanded if necessary. After all it is the 24th most visited wiki article. If expanded we can use the single shot and the series together. Thanks for your efforts --Muhammad (talk) 11:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is there a list of most visited articles? Thanks. --TimL (talk) 13:20, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Re Black-headed Heron
The reason I asked is that the feathers appear to get quite soft across the shoulder, indicative of the softness often induced by stitching programs to help the separate images blend together better without a stitching line. Above and below that point the feathers are quite sharp and distinct. Not much you can do about it I don't expect (and not something I'd oppose on), but it makes it arguable whether it's worth doing 'panoramas' of that type of thing. Still it's an interesting experiment. Cheers, --jjron (talk) 11:32, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can probably fix the softness with a blended + layers option in PTGui and then editing the image selectively but I doubt it is worth all the trouble since only an astute observer would notice such minor softness (I confess, I hadn't seen it myself). Whether it's worth or not is debatable. After doing this, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a Canon MPE-65mm macro and covering a small animal, let's say at 5:1 magnification, focus stacking the images, stitching the results and getting a final gigapixel image that can be zoomed in to see lice on the animal! Something to do after one retires :-) --Muhammad (talk) 12:32, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol. Talk about setting the bar too high! Re this one, I agree, I wouldn't bother 'fixing' it. You must have been pretty confident the thing would stay in position though - or had very quick hands... --jjron (talk) 15:09, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I took a few single complete body shots before attempting the pano. All worked out well though. --Muhammad (talk) 10:27, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Re; Housefly on a leaf crop.jpg identity
Hi - I have added comments to the comments tab of the photo to support why I feel this is not Musca domestica - I hope you find this informative. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I hope you can find someone who knows West African Muscoidea well and have a name to put to this photo. It's is a great photo and it's a real shame that it can't be made good use of for lack of a species name. --Simuliid (talk) 17:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
