Speedy deletion nomination of File:Moussa-konate.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Moussa-konate.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —SpaceFlight89 15:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * "This image was uploaded with the source only as "Tierno S. Bah" - nothing "tracable" on the web. No date, author, were given to support the "creative commons" license that was given.  Given that similar images exist  that do not have compatible licenses w/wikipedia & a specific source was not provided to prove the "creative commons" license, the image was deleted.  If you do have a traceable source & are able to prove that the image was in fact released under a wiki-appropriate license, you can either re-upload the image with the correct information or leave the information on my talk page (or at Deletion review where more admins may see it).  If the image is in fact copyrighted, you can go through the WP:OTRS system to get correct release to use it here.   Skier Dude  ( talk ) 00:46, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Please keep that image. It's a public domain file showing Amadou Hampâté Bâ, one of the most prestigious African authors in the 20th century. He was a great advocate of traditional culture. He coined the following phrase: «In Africa, when an old man dies, it's a library that burns down.» His masterpieces (Koumen and Kaydara) belong in the world literary heritage. And I publish the full text of Bâ's works with his pictures on my website webPulaaku Tierno S. Bah, Publisher, webPulaaku

Camp Boiro
I rolled back your recent additions to this article on purely technical grounds. The article has an external link to the main http://www.campboiro.org/ website, and the additional pages can all be reached from there. On a painful subject like this my personal view is that we can best serve our readers around the world by presenting the facts in as neutral a manner as possible, and letting the facts speak for themselves. Are you o.k. with this? Aymatth2 (talk) 02:08, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that campboiro.org is providing a valuable service. It is able to publish information that might not technically qualify for Wikipedia, and can provide a well-organized view of the subject as a whole. Several Wikipedia articles point to it. We cannot reproduce the campboiro.org entries, and must introduce other sources for Wikipedia articles to verify accuracy of anything controversial and to prove notability, but I don't see any conflict. Keep up the good work! Aymatth2 (talk) 18:13, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Several names designate this mountain region of central Guinea (Conakry). They are: Foutah Dialon, Fouta Diallon, Futa Diallon, Fuuta-Jaloo, Fuuta-Jalon, etc. The main article should include all of them to indicate that they denote the same area. Tierno Bah, publisher of webFuuta
