WP:NOTMYSPACE
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. After you look over that guideline, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.

There are several options available for resolving this matter:
 * If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add  to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it.
 * If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.

 * Thanks for the email. Your article page can be found at User:Portpass19/Bilaal Rajan. :) I'm off for a while, but I'll help you out with it shortly. لenna  vecia  00:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

For the article
You need reliable third-party sources. Additional information, such as where he was born, info on his early life outside of his charity work, etc would also be good. So far, it's looking good. Needs work before the article space though. لenna vecia  02:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I found quite a few rs. It should be good for the article space now. لenna  vecia  19:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Madeleine Parent.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Madeleine Parent.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 08:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  The left orium  08:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:ConfederationofCanadianUnionsLogo2.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:ConfederationofCanadianUnionsLogo2.jpg. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:UNICEF Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Toronto, Canada, February 2012.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:UNICEF Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Toronto, Canada, February 2012.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 00:47, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Bilaal's father, Aman Rajan, emailed permissions-en@wikimedia.org over a week ago regarding Bilaal's photos on his Wikipedia page. The photos belong to Aman and he said this in the email. So why isn't Bilaal's photo on the page? Thanks. Portpass19 (talk) 21:15, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bilaal Rajan


The article Bilaal Rajan has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Promotional article with no evidence of notability. The substantial majority of the references are things by, not about Bailaal Rajan, others are on web sites to which he is clearly connected, or on promotional sites, a few don't mention him. What we are left with is a very small amount of apparently independent coverage.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:20, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi James. Bilaal Rajan's page was created over four years ago, and we've never encountered this issue before. He is one of the world's youngest UNICEF Ambassadors, a published author (at the age of twelve), and has raised millions of dollars for children's programs in the underdeveloped world. Some of the references are from the website of the organization he founded, Making Change Now, yet others are from mainstream media sources and organizations throughout North America. Are there any particular changes you think are necessary for the page? Thanks.Portpass19 (talk) 21:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

I made several changes to the text, and added new references from mainstream media sources such as CBC News and the Globe and Mail newspaper. I took down the notice. Bilaal's father, Aman, is preparing another letter proving his ownership of Bilaal's photo that he will email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, so that we can place a head photo of Bilaal on the website. Of the twenty references on the page now, only two are from websites belonging to Bilaal and the organization he founded, Making Change Now. Portpass19 (talk) 00:56, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Multiple accounts?
Are you the same person as Passport19? If so, why do you use more than one account, and do you have any more accounts? If you are not the same person, can you explain what your connection with that person is? JamesBWatson (talk) 12:30, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I only have one account (Passport19) that I've always used. I'm not on Wikipedia that much. I'm a friend of Bilaal Rajan and his family. I wrote some of the article since I've known him for more tan five years (and I have a bit of experience with Wikipedia).Portpass19 (talk) 21:15, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for File:UNICEF Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Toronto.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:UNICEF Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Toronto.jpeg. 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) 02:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:UNICEF Children's Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Tanzania, 2006.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:UNICEF Children's Ambassador Bilaal Rajan, Tanzania, 2006.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 14:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Stephan2: No offense or anything, but I think this is about the 18th time someone has messaged us about this photo. It was taken by Bilaal's father, who emailed WP (at permissions-en@wikimedia.org) with his permission months ago. We also provided the copyright. What else do we have to do to prove this is a valid photo with proper copyright. Would you like a blood sample or urine test from us? Portpass19 (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
