Scholarly Sources
Islam: A Thousand Years of Faith and Power was published by Yale University Press and was written by two respected historians. Don't censor Wikipedia, it's not nice. Elijahmeeks 22:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Scholarly?
Viewed as respected historians by what community? An anti-Shia community? This is just plain slander!
 * Wikipedia, perWP:NPOV, does not ask "what community?", or does is assume "anti...". If it is slander, then you should take action against the editors and publishing house. Wikipedia just uses the sources available, and if you are able to supply references that refute the other then that will be usable as well. Please note, removing referenced text is considered vandalism so please do not do so again. Thank you. LessHeard vanU 22:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

cat box
Hello - I think your series box on Cat Stevens] is a creative idea and was well done - you might want to talk to the folks at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians to see if there's any room for that approach in their project. I don't know of any policy requirement overall about requiring infoboxes, but there's some desire for consistency across the encyclopedia that your series box might not fit in.  I personally would rather see your drawing in the article than no photo, even in the standard infobox - if we can't find a free photo, why not?  Anyway - I just wanted to say that it was a good try and thank you for the attempt - and to encourage you to present it to WikiProject Musicians.  Cheers Tvoz | talk 23:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons
Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaK 19:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
