Birth date I just realized we're going to need a source for your birth date... is it somewhere in the current citations? Otherwise it should be removed. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 19:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC) @FreeRangeFrog: the Curtis reference (the Book titled "Encyclopedia of Muslim-American History") mentions it at the top of its section on me. I replaced the image that was deleted by a user at Wikimedia Commons. I will get that one reinstated later this week when I get the permission lodged the same way we did for my father's image. But in the meantime, I loaded up another one which also serves the required purpose. --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 19:49, 1 May 2014 (UTC) @FreeRangeFrog: Hi buddy, I wanted to let you know that I am going to request an undeletion of the image at this page that was deleted: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Mansoor-IJAZ.jpg. Would you kindly have a look and see whether the same basic procedure that I followed before would be allowed in this case as well? Just so I know what to do when the photographer gets in touch with me tomorrow. Also, I am now about 70% done on adding in all the references in the article on my father. Have a look when you have time to gauge progress. Best --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 22:51, 1 May 2014 (UTC) It should be the same. A release is a release, doesn't matter where it comes from. But to expedite things you might want to just state "CC-by-SA" without Wikipedia or anything like that... and make sure the photog knows what the image will be used for. Then just forward it to the permissions queue so that another editor can look at it. The undelete request can be made in Commons in the same place I did the last ones once the ticket is in OTRS. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:55, 1 May 2014 (UTC) @FreeRangeFrog: many thanks --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz @FreeRangeFrog: Good afternoon Sir. I'm a day late, but now I'm ready to give you a crack at the Sandbox. It's fully referenced except for the Atoms for Peace paragraph -- that one I felt was already properly sourced by the WP:LINKS but feel free to add some in if you find good ones. Maybe the Eisenhower Library link or something. I look forward to seeing the piece moved over to mainspace with your help. Separately, I spoke to the photographer for the image that was deleted from my article yesterday. He agreed to provide the license we need -- should get that over the weekend and then we can get that problem sorted as well. Let me know if you need my inputs anywhere. I think it came out pretty good and I was really able to reference almost everything important that needed it. --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 18:46, 2 May 2014 (UTC) Will take a look later today, and will look for that release as well. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:41, 2 May 2014 (UTC) The image issue is now sorted out in Commons, by the way. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:08, 2 May 2014 (UTC) @FreeRangeFrog: can I go in and now replace with the old image again then? Thank you for your help. We make quite the tag team! --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 22:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC) Yep, I see you already did, so you're all set. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:14, 2 May 2014 (UTC) @FreeRangeFrog: Many thanks, I also need to go in and fix up the Personal life section for the corrective edits that were made in my father's biography. Experimental physicist vs. what's there now (Theoretical physicist) -- there really was a lot of almost entirely wrong information in my father's Wikipedia biography. I'm glad we did that project to correct it. Anyway, with permission, I will go in and fix it up and you can review/edit as needed. Thanks, and I look forward to your commentary on my father's article at my Sandbox later. --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 22:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC) Absolutely, if there's something wrong then by all means. I have it in my watchlist so I can diff. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:20, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

User Talk 03 MAY 2014

@FreeRangeFrog: Good early morning to you. Just a short note to say that the Sandbox is now complete from my input standpoint. Hopefully you can find time to review and then let me have one last look before we move the re-developed article to mainspace -- thanks. --Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 07:13, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Recruitment Centre

Hi Mansoor Ijaz,

I would just like to inform you that the WikiProject Good Article Recruitment Centre project has been but on hold until further notice. The decision comes after it was noticed that there was a lack of commitment from some of our recruiters as well as the recruitees. We will be working on revising to the program in order to make it more efficient and productive so we can teach user interested in reviewing Good Article nominations better.

I am telling you this because I see that you have added your name to the waiting list. If you are still interested in being recruited at some point in the future, please leave your name on the list, however, if you are no longer interested, I ask you to remove it or contact me on my talk page. Thank-you.--Dom497 (talk) 20:15, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Robin Raphel

The article Robin Raphel you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Robin Raphel for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sasuke Sarutobi -- Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 17:43, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry to have had to fail this, but given the attention that the reported investigation into Amb. Raphel has brought and the resulting activity to the page, the article could no longer hold up as stable or NPOV. In the meantime, I've also placed a request for the page to be semi-protected while the media activity passes. I hope that you consider my recommendations in the GA review and renominate the article after addressing these. Please feel free to contact me if I can help. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 17:51, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for the flip-flop, but given that recent activity isn't as bad as I'd first perceived it to be, I'm looking to re-open the review, at the suggestion of another reviewer. Would you be able to drop me a line either here or on my talk page if you wish for the review to proceed? Thank you — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 00:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Need your help on the Hussain Haqqani and Memogate case

The content under Hussain Haqqani and memogate scanda is being debated in the talk page for the lack of credibility. You contribution and suggestion to the content is highly recommended as you are one of the prime witness in the whole episode. Kindly come on the talk page of Hussain Haqqani for review — Preceding unsigned comment added by VisionHawk (talk • contribs) 08:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

@VisionHawk: Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, as the legal case in this matter of the Memorandum is still technically open and ongoing, it is not possible for me to directly comment on the changes being made to the Husain Haqqani article. I have noted this conflict of interest problem on the article's Talk page before, as you will see. I can only recommend that the main Memogate article and the version that was passed in an intense editing of my own Wikipedia article are accepted as factual and accurate, and should therefore essentially appear in the same manner in the Haqqani article as well for consistency of content and objectivity. Hopefully this helps. I'm sorry I cannot directly contribute more than that. Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 10:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
