Reverting your addition to Husayn ibn Ali
Muslimguy, you added an essay that seemed primarily to be your personal opinion. I removed it. I don't want to discourage you from contributing to WP, but we do have to try to stay encyclopedic -- and that means sticking to the subject, avoiding judgments on controversial matters, and giving references for our statements. Bits of that essay could fit in other places in WP. If we had a good article on the History of Shi'a Islam, some of that would fit there, if referenced. However, the only article that even approaches being a history is something called "Historical Sunni-Shia relations" (I'm blanking on the exact title) that is extremely Shi'a-POV and unreliable. If you fit your essay into that article, it may be welcomed by the article's creator, but it is going to "cleaned up" sooner or later. Zora 02:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:HMCG symbol.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:HMCG symbol.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MCG_Annual_Book.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MCG_Annual_Book.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 22:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of A Comprehensive List of Halal Food Products in U.S. and Canadian Supermarkets
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article A Comprehensive List of Halal Food Products in U.S. and Canadian Supermarkets, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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.
