 * Dear Darkness Shines, The annual report is not copyrighted as the information is released to the public domain by the Islamic Development Bank for the viewing of the general public. The WP:PD states that the public domain material is material “that were released into the public domain by the copyright holder”. On that basis, I believe that information can be included on the Wikipedia article. As a newcomer, I’d say the following are relevant: Please do not bite the newcomers and WP:AGF. It will help to have a constructive discussion instead of the deletion, as information needs to be added to the Islamic Development Bank wikipage.


 * I will reverse your deletions and include the above discussion at the IDB talk page
 * I would strongly advise against reverting copyrighted content into Wikipedia. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:58, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Darkness Shines, Please state why you think it is copyrighted. As a newcomer, I have the right to know. Civility states "Explain yourself". Tariqmia (talk) 21:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol, a new editor already spouting policy. See the article talk page. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of a week for meatpuppetry. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:21, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Arbitration Committee Notice
Dear Tariqmia, I wanted you to know that I also got a notice from User:Darkness Shines on my talk page that looks like yours. You should know that DS placed that banner incorrectly and it makes him look like an administrator. He is not an administrator. Moreover, it looks as though he is from of Arbitration Committee. Again he is not nor has he ever been a member of Arbitration Committee. Like me, you may have been doing something innocent, but the banner states unfairly, "If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic." This is boilerplate language given to anyone who gets this template. It does not mean in any way that you did something wrong. Furthermore, although there is very little information about this banner, you may remove it from your page. Your name was also listed by DS on a noticeboard. In my case, I believe this is wrong because I'm not interested in editing in this area. You are not being investigated in any way. As a protest I have written a strikethrough mark through my name at the following location. If you are not happy about your treatment by DS or being listed, then I would encourage you to do the same. I hope I have clarified your situation as I had to find out more about mine and wanted to share the results with you. I wish you good editing in Wikipedia, Crtew (talk) 09:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
