User talk:SaidAssar

Welcome!
Hello, SaidAssar, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Khairallah Assar, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Khairallah Assar


A tag has been placed on Khairallah Assar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   11:03, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest guidelines
You mentioned here that Khairallah Assar was your father. Are you familiar with Conflict of interest guidelines? One of them is that you should not create or edit articles about yourself, your family or friends. Creating an article about your father certainly falls afoul of this. I suggest you take a look at the section Advice for editors with a COI. -- Pemilligan (talk) 13:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, SaidAssar. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Pemilligan (talk) 13:25, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Response to the conflict of interest notification
Thank you for this important reminder, I will stick as much as possible to Wikipedia rules of thumbs and will do my best to be objective and give exact sources to the information I will provide on this page.

Nevertheless, in the actual state of the publication (i.e. Khairallah Assar page), the provided information is just basic elements of biography, it don't seem to me that there is any reason to worry here about conflict of interest. Concerning the books published in Arabic, I will soon provide images of the first page for each book. Unfortunately, there are no website available from the editors of these books.

This file can be deleted. It is not referenced no more because I uploaded another file with smaller size and that is referenced in the page of Khairallah Assar.

Khairallah Assar
Per WP:NFG in particular and WP:NFC generally, a gallery of nonfree (copyrighted) book covers may not be used to illustrate the biography of their author. This is a well-settled issue and applies to bibliographies, discographies, videographies and other, similar, lists of creative works. A cover images may, however, be used to illustrate the article on the creative work itself, in accordance with en-wiki practice regarding identifying images.
