Hello Lradrama

Thanks for your welcome to me.

Can I ask a question here?... Well, I ask, I hope so.

Please if you want: Can you check MY FIRST ARTICLE??

Well, my question is: I have not information about the accomplices of Iqbal. But can I create an article with:

Mamad Nadeem: was a 15 years old Pakistani accomplice of the serial killer Javed Iqbal..... ????

Well, thanks again Lradrama.!!!!!!!!!!

You are the only one who have patience with me.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahmed987147 (talk) 21:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

If you have only a tiny bit of information about this accomplice, then it might not be worth starting a whole new article on it, if all it will ever be is a stub. How about you insert this information about his accomplices into the article about Javed Iqbal? You could create a section with a name along the lines of Accomplices or something like that. That's bets if not much information is at hand at the present time. If you know lots of facts about Mamad Nadeem, and can find article on external internet sites to back up your claims, then by all means start the article. Do a Google search and see what you can find! Please reply if you don't understand or wish me to make things clearer or if you want any help at all. Happy editing! Lradrama 13:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks English friend!, really thanks, you are my helper :P. I'm ashamed but I must ask again .... Forgive me :P and thanks again.

Can I put an Iqbal's picture from Google?. Anyone picture? Or... what must I do? Thanks again... millions thanks.... really thanks. God Bless you and thanks and forgive me ...kisses! Ahmed987147 (talk) 19:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha don't worry about asking questions! It's fine, no worries at all! :-) If you are to upload a picture of Iqbal, it must a picture that you own, i.e. no-one elses. Therefore, any image taken from something like Google will end up being deleted I'm afraid to say. I'm sorry about that. Do you have any of your own pictures of Iqbal? If so, by all means upload them and put them on the article. With love and regards, Lradrama 18:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thanks! I do understand but I'm Israeli, I'm not Pakistani, so, I never met Iqbal. How can I do that an Iqbal's picture can be me? . Thanks My New Friend! Oh.... I want to say to you.... I'm not an Iqbal's fan hahaha. I'm not a sick, I'm only creating his article but I condemn his acts and I hope that Iqbal, Ahmad, Nadeem and Sabir rot in the hell. I have a little niece and I hate these people. Well, thanks friend! Ahmed987147 (talk) 01:40, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I never suggested you were a fan of Iqbal, and I understand that murder cases are of interest to many people, don't you worry! If you don't own a picture of him, then you may get one from the internet as long as you state the source from which you retrieved the image so it isn't deleted. Look at this example. The source and licencng details are both listed and you'll need to do the same for images you want to use. Ask if you need help. :-) Lradrama 15:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello my friend, well, I found much information about Sajid Ahmad (An Iqbal's accomplice) but this information is in Spanish. I used a translator to it. So, what must I do? Thanks my helper friend, God Bless you Ahmed987147 (talk) 17:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

You must put information onto Wikipedia into your own words. Do not just copy and paste it in as it violates copyright and the text will be deleted. Read what you have, and enjoy entering the information into the article in your own words - that way it'll all be your own work! It'll be something to be proud of. ;-) Lradrama 09:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, of course!, I created the Iqbal's article without copy past!, I created the Iqbal's article with my words. But my question is: If I found information in Spanish. Can I use it and put the pages in 'References' ?? Thanks friend. It's your largest talk hahaha. My doubts.... hahahahahaha. You are popular in WIKIPEDIA! Ahmed987147 (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you not find a translation of the site? Because a link from an English encyclopedia to a Spanish site may be inappropriate for those who can't understand Spanish? I'd suggest using a translation of the site, or a similar one written in English. Bear in mind the majority of British users of this website will know little or no Spanish. Many thanks, Lradrama 17:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi again friend!. I have a question. I will put an Iqbal's picture. Is it the procedure?: I have an Iqbal's picture from Google. I will cut out parts of the image. After, I will put the image that I had cut. Is it OK?... Thanks and Merry December !. Ahmed987147 17:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

As long as you say from where you got the picture and to whom its rights belong, yes. Lradrama 18:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello friend! I have a question about copyright. Can you help me?. I hope so. This image was taken in 1988... so. Is its copyright expired? Image. Thanks friend. The image is from Spain and I do not know the Spanish laws about copyright. Ahmed987147 (talk) 22:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. No, its copyright will not have expired. You may still use it, as long as you say from where you obtained the picture and who it's from. Find as many as you can, and the ones which are most reliably backed up and say who took them and where they're from, etc are best to use. :-) Lradrama 20:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Lra, I promise that it will be my last question but I want to know if this picture's license is ok. Here ...is it license ok? I think so but I found the picture on a page that the license is Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 SPAIN and the license that I have put here is Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 because on Wikipedia doesn't exist the Spanish license... so.. Is it OK or not? Millions of thanks. Ahmed987147 (talk) 20:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't see the picture. Something went wrong. Click on the link again and you'll see what I mean. Lradrama 17:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello LraDrama!, I wish to you and your family a very Merry Christmas! and really thanks for your help with Javed Iqbal, Copyright , etc. Really thanks and Merry Christmas. Ahmed987147 (talk) 17:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou very much. I would like to also wish you and you family and friends a very Merry Christams too! Have a great time! Keep up your excellent work on Wikipedia! Lradrama 19:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Talkheader

Hi, I saw you added a lot of Talkheader templates to talk pages. It is not necessary to do that for every article though, only when it is needed. See also this discussion. Garion96 (talk) 22:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I've read the discussion, and the point you made, both of which I found quite interesting. I would have thought that the talkheader is necessary on all talkpages for the simple reason being that it is so useful to newcomers. When I first started out on Wikipedia, it was the talkheader template that told me how to sign my comments and how to use the page properly. I hate to think of the clangers I would have made had I not seen that earlier. If adding lots of talkheader templates is going to darken my image, I will indeed stop, but what are your views on this? Lradrama 12:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

My opinion is perhaps a bit extreme on this. I prefer to read discussions on discussion pages. It used to be that when there was a blue link I knew there was a discussion. Now when there is a blue link you have a 99% chance that it is only full of templates. Besides my personal preference, consensus seems to be to not over use this template but only use it when it is needed. Garion96 (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, fair point. I'll be a bit more conservative with them in the future. :-) Thanks for raising your views on the issue. Lradrama 12:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Edit in Confessing Church-article

I have inserted "Pfarrernotbund" into the article because this organization was kind of the forerunner of the Confessing Church which was founded with the Barmen Declaration - not earlier. I don't know if there is an English translation of "Pfarrernotbund" so I've chosen the German name. An article with this name could be moved later if there is actually an English translation.84.167.165.228 (talk) 19:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, sorry about the confusion. I'll revert it back. Try to find a translation on Google or something. Would you like to write the article yourself? I can give you a link to some tip[s if you wish. :-) Lradrama 19:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. I'll try to get some more information about the subject in the library but I can't promise I'll have time to start on that article soon.84.167.165.228 (talk) 19:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, no worries. Tell me if you want help! :-) Lradrama 19:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Merritt Ruhlen (again)

Hello! Could you possibly look at the Merritt Ruhlen article again, please? I would like to undo some andalism. I have really tried hard to discuss the vandal's edits, but s/he hasn't responded yet. May I block her/his IP address? Or, better perhaps, could you do that? If you don't think it necessary, what else could/should I do? Thanks for any advice or help! --Pet'usek ^{[petrdothrubisatgmaildotcom]} 16:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted the IPs edits. You may wish to do this yourself. Please read Help:Reverting and try it out on the sandbox or something. You cannot block the IP because that is restricted to administrators only. I can only block the IP if his vandalism is persistant. Please let me know if the IP bothers you again, and you feel he should be blocked. Lradrama 18:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

excuse me..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pui_Pui_%28crocodile%29 i am sorry but i am not good in english cause i am a chinese speaker. why did you delete my changes?i am a hong kong local,i knew exactly how the crocodile is captured,it was not captured by the agricultural and fishery conservation dept. firstly,it was captured by a local female fisherman lived near nam sang wai(Chinese:南生圍),then the dept. sent a crew of staff and take the crocodile back to the dept. This news was reported after the day when pui pui the crocodile was captured on most hong kong major newspaper. To conclude I strongly suggest that wikipedia restore the changes i made. thank you

If I have reverted what it is the truth, then I am very sorry. What Wikipedia needs is references to back up claims like this. Can you find a relevant article on the net (that is reliable) and provides backup of what you write in the article? If you can, that would be great, and I'll tell you how to put in into the article. Lradrama 18:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Heinrich Hertz

Please consider re-visiting Talk:Heinrich Hertz#jewish ancestry. I'd be interested in your feedback about the suggested edit strategy I've proposed. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 15:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Erm, I'm not being rude or anything, but have you got the right person? I don't recall ever being in the discussion you indicated, or ever editing the article. Is this a mistake? If not, I'm sorry and I'll have a look for you, but it is a topic I'm not very familiar with. Lradrama 23:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

You came to my attention when I checked the edit history for Heinrich Hertz. I reasoned that anyone in the past year who appeared as part of this edit history might have an interest in resolving the unnecessary problems in the opening paragraph. FYI -- here is the information I copied from that history:

• (cur) (last) 14:17, 1 June 2007 User:Lradrama (Talk | contribs) (19,319 bytes) (rv - deletion of text) (undo
• (cur) (last) 14:15, 1 June 2007 User:Lradrama (Talk | contribs) (16,550 bytes) (rv - deletion of text) (undo)

As it happens, I ony stumbled on this curious dispute by accident. Hertz was amongst the recipients of the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure-(singular) which had been mis-titled as Order of the Sacred Treasures-(plural). In the context of correcting that trivial error, I was simply double-checking the links for each of the honorees with Wikipedia articles. As I quickly scanned the articles' text and talk pages, I hoped to learn more about the decision-making process of the Japanese Decorations Bureau. This is perhaps more than you wanted to know; but there it is.

I approached this article with a mind-set focused on abstracting what I could about an opaque reasoning process, so my perspective was a bit skewed. I was attracted to the array of reasoning processes which were combined in this thread, and I rather expected to encounter more difficulty in breaking through with a structure-based resolution to a dispute which seemed more concerned with whether or not Hertz' ancestry were Jewish. In contacting you and others, I hoped to attract fair-minded allies; or alternately, I was on the look-out for a point-of-view I hadn't yet considered.

In that regard, I did succeed in a way. Your response was not anticipated; but I do hope you now understand that my thinking was at least thoughtful, if mis-guided. In ratcheting up the participation in this thread, I reasoned that I could learn something about how to intervene constructively when, as here, I thought almost everything about this thread was wrong. If needed, I'm ready apologize for any inconvenience ... but I guess it's probably good enough to say that I was just barking up the wrong tree. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 00:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to worry about it, it is excellent that you show an interest in improving the article and making it go forward. All I can help you on however is more article structure/Wikipedia related matter rather than the subject content. My edits to the article were only reverting vandalism while on a recent changes patrol about half a year back. ;-)

However, if there's anything I can still do for you and this article, please let me know and I'll be most happy and willing to help you out. Happy editing. Lradrama 19:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello friend!

How are you? I hope fine. I have a silly question. I have heard that Heinrich Himmler (Nazi Officer) was gay, I heard he had sex with German soldiers; but I heard it on TV and of course I didn't find any reference to support this theory. So, can I put Himmler into the LGBT people from Germany category?. Well, I really hope you're fine.

Kisses. Ahmed987147 (talk) 07:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm fine thankyou, and I hope you are also. :-) Just to clarify, which type of television programme was it? Lradrama 15:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you're right. It's an Australian programme about History. Since Roman Empire, Titanic, etc. It said exists a rumour that says Himmler had sex with German soldiers. Do you think it's true? Kisses Ahmed987147 (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC).

I don't know whether it's true or not - it is a subject I'm not familiar with. One should always be wary about inserting rumours into an article, as encyclopedias are based on fact. Unless there is some backup in a paper-based document or on the internet, in which case use that as a ref and state that it is a rumour, I would avoid putting it in just yet. That is the safest way of going about things I think. :-) Lradrama 17:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Patrick Kennedy

Dear Lradrama, I recently saw that you reverted my edits to the Patrick Kennedy (congressman) page. These changes were not vandalism nor were they inaccurate. The current article is deceptive. Patrick Kennedy did not study at Providence college. His degree is an honorary diploma awarded to him after he had been elected to Congress. He did use cocaine while a teenager. I do not see why these facts have been excluded from the article. Additionally, very little is written about Kennedy's repeated use of rehab for drug use and infamous car crash in 2006. This was a national story and argueably the most widely known single thing about Rep. Kennedy. My concern is about the accuracy of this article. If I did not know any better I would incorreclty assume that Kennedy had studied at Providence for four years followed by earning his diploma rather than what I have described above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.174.147 (talk) 21:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello and thankyou for bringing this to my attention. I'm sorry I reverted what you say are true claims. However, they are unlikely to remain on Wikipedia if you don't back them up with references. What I suggest is looking on the internet and finding an internet article, that is reliable (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources) and using them to back up what you say. Please don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck doing this. Lradrama 21:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Copyright's problem!

Hello friend!, I hope you're fine. Well, I have a problem. When I was fascinated by serial killers (not now :P) I put an image of Jose Antonio Rodriguez Vega, Spanish serial killer. Its copyright is Attribution 2.5 and I put it but the original copyright says Attribution 2.5 Spain and I found this Attribution but I can't put the Spanish flag on the License!. Can you put that the Attribution is from Spain?. Thanks and if you are busy or you can't, don't worry, I'm really grateful. Ahmed987147 (talk) 07:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

As long as you state clearly somewhere in the image details that it is from Spain it should be fine. And if someone states a problem with the way you've set it up, just tell them what you have told me and it will be fixed. However, I don't think it is a problem. Don't worry about it.

Remember us?

my edit on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_Us%3F was showing that some tard has set the length of an unreleased album to 42 mins, only 2 songs have been confirmed for it and they certainly dont make up 42 minutes.

OK, but instead of putting something that is really quite silly like lol wut? into the article, could you please find out the correct length of the album and ammend it so it is correct? That would be very much appreciated. Thankyou, Lradrama 18:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
