Speedy deletion nomination of Arif Azad

A tag has been placed on Arif Azad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your contributed article, Paradoxical sajid

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Paradoxical sajid. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Paradoxical Sajid. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Paradoxical Sajid. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. –Ammarpad (talk) 14:33, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Aroj Ali Matubbar has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:36, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Arif Azad

Hello, The revealer. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Arif Azad, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Arif Azad (December 27)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Catrìona was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Recreation of content deleted by the community.

Catrìona (talk) 18:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, The revealer! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Catrìona (talk) 18:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An extended welcome

Hi The revealer. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:24, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Salah Zaimeche

A tag has been placed on Salah Zaimeche requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://muslimheritage.com/authors/salah-zaimeche. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:25, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Arif Azad

A tag has been placed on Arif Azad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 07:16, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article will be deleted per deletion discussion (G4) and permanently protected against article creation anyway. AaronWikia (talk) 16:11, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, The revealer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Arif Azad, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 07:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LINKFARM

I reverted you at Zakir Naik for adding links in violation of WP:ELNO. Wikipedia is not a link farm. We aren't here to advertise for Zakir, either. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:58, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invite

You are invited to participate in Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam, a project dedicated to developing and improving articles related to Islam and Muslims.

Currently, we are discussing prospects for the project. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ismail al-Jazari into Robot. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. Also, please be sure to copy over all relevant citations. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:03, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

June 2019

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world

The revealer, Your recent edits to List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world have some problems, including use sources that do not meet the standards of WP:RS and presentist wording. Are you getting these sources from a single place, such as wikipedia history or muslimheritage.com? A large cleanup of sumilar claims and sourcing took place some yaers ago: Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/Cleanup, and it is important to maintain high quality sourcing and not reintroduce content that needs cleanup. If you have questions about this or any specific source, please let me know or discuss on the relevant article talk page.Dialectric (talk) 16:02, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dialectric No! The books which have been cited, I have read myself. If it's needed, I'll add more references. But please don't revert my edits, I've worked hard.

Most references I have given are of good quality (Ehsan Masood, M. H. Morgan), one or two maybe not that good. But some are very strong (1001 Inventions, Seyyed Hossain Nasr). And yes, in some cases I have taken references from other Wikipedia pages. I'll remove the low-quality ones and cite more references.The revealer (talk) 09:29, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I have added few more references and have cleaned up the less good quality ones. I wasn't sure about those and had hit the button 'watch this page' because of that. Now all the references given are strong enough. You may have a look. If you find anything inappropriate then delete that one and notify me. But please don't revert all my edits, I have worked hard.The revealer (talk) 09:29, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding changes on Dr Zakir Naik Page

Hey! I didn't understand the reason you provided to delete about the interpol's red notice against him. Can you please elaborate here what you intended? Bansalitsme (talk) 12:50, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't mention what you changed. This is very wrong and it is enough to undo one's edits. Secondly, you wrote that line in the wrong place. Go below, you'll find relevant place to write that. What you did is in no way encyclopedic language. If one reads the article, what would he feel? it's being said who the person is, suddenly a detail comes up irrelevant to the previous line. Never do these two mistakes.And always hit the 'watch this page' button unless it's really a minor edit like fixing typo.The revealer (talk) 15:12, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This time I did so that has been corrected. Plus the red notice has been issued. Please open the link given. It is of legit and big Indian newspaper 'The Hindustan Times'. Im 2017 the red notice was cancelled by Interpol. This time this has been issued. Bansalitsme (talk) 17:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
