Fair use rationale for Image:Selectionfromthebab.jpg

Image:Selectionfromthebab.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

People removing page from category "Manifestations of God in the Baha'i Faith"

Um, why? I would normally just revert the edits and not even ask but it's happened a couple times and has been changed by a couple different users so it would seem like someone has a reason for doing this, even if they aren't putting it in their edit summary (which you ruddy well should) Peter Deer (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See this discussion. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 14:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion explains nothing. It was for a category called "Manifestations of God". The current category has a different name and clearly explains that it applies only to Bahai. Either the category exists or it does not. If it exists then this article belongs in it. If you don't think there should be such a category you are free to propose its deletion, but there is no more reason to remove relevant content from it while it exists than there is to remove Saint Peter from the categories "Eastern Orthodox saints" and "Papal saints". Paul B (talk) 15:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Peter Deer (talk) 16:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Dead Link

Hey guys, this article is super interesting. I was going through the references, and I noticed a link takes you to an error 404 from the BBC. So, I deleted the link and added a cite tag. I've been looking for another source, but I can't find it. If you've got some time, please look it up. Otherwise unreferenced material needs to be omitted. I'll continue to search for it as well. --24.129.105.240 (talk) 09:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been fixed. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 12:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

family

how come nothing is written about His mother and father?

Father was : Siyyid Muhammad Ridá Mother was : Fátimih Bagum —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.127.119 (talk) 14:43, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

edit

i have added a small section about his mother and father, and also about his marriage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.88.158 (talk) 11:49, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

In Early life it is written : ... and the boy was raised by his maternal uncleḤájí Mírzá Siyyid `Alí, now Ḥájí Mírzá Siyyid `Alí is linked to Bab: is this link correct or wrong??? Bab and maternal uncle seems to be the same person??? --giorces (talk) 12:23, 7 February 2009 (UTC) mail[reply]

No, for example if Joe is only notable because of Frank the page on Joe redirects to the page on Frank where it's expected that one would be able to find out more about Joe. The same situation here and I've unlinked the name. T0lk (talk) 12:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely correct to delete what is effectively a self-link. Thanks, MARussellPESE (talk) 18:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

age

The article says between when he was 15 and 20, he joined his uncle in the family business, however many sources say that he was about 14-15. --Melaniegreyton (talk) 13:22, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The most-reliable academic sources are what are trying to be used in this article. Remember Wikipedia is not written in the Baha'i view, and must be written in a neutral point of view. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 16:17, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are not very many non-Bahá'í sources written about the Báb. In addition, the Báb joined his buisness on attaining the age of maturity which for boys in Islam is about 14 or 15. --Melaniegreyton (talk) 17:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
