Copyvio

Sorry, but I had to remove the text you copy and pasted from the Atallah Family site as it is a copyright violation. You can rewrite the text in your own words (but make sure you reference where you got the information from), but you cannot paste in text you've found elsewhere. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the image link because it is a dead link. If you tell me where the image is located in the database, I can help you place it correctly. Also, you need to leave the Koffieyahoo's verify tag in place. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 01:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Sarah, I'm still pretty new to this, so I'll have to review what I'm doing first.. I reloaded the pic now from a different computer because my other internet connection went over limit so it was too slow. I just figured out I can't add bitmap images so I just converted it to JPG and added it.. Hopefully this works thanks... P.S. Where do I message you from? Do I just type in here? or on your talk page? Prince Cadmus II 01:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problems, I adjusted the picture to bring it in line with the standard placement of photos as it was a little big for people with slower connections. You can message me on my talk page here: User talk:Sarah_Ewart

No worries. It can be hard feeling your way at first, I know. With regard to references, you list your references at the end of the article under the reference list. Also, it's good to use footnotes in the text (and that will help get rid of the verify tag). If you want to, you can just put the references into the article and then I'll show you how to footnote them. If you have books or offline material you have referenced, you should also list them under the reference list at the bottom. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 02:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of research and added some references and footnotes to your article. Let me know what you think. It'd be great if you have more references for some of the other info. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 06:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jieh

Hi, I'm glad you're happy with the page! I agree, it's looking really good and the extra text and picture you added look great! With regard to photos, you can either set them out like they are now or you can use an image gallery. It's really just a matter of personal preference. I can show you examples of the image galleries they have here if you want to see if you prefer them to the current layout. It has been my pleasure to help out. :) Don't hesitate to give me a yell if you need a hand with anything at all. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles always show in the first few Google hits, so you don't need to worry about meta tags. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 03:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice effort on the Jieh page

Good effort on the Jieh page. I was wondering if the port of Jieh is a regular international port like the ports of Beirut, Jounieh, Tripoli, Sidon, and Tyre in that they can recieve any kind of ship (passenger, cargo, etc.) from outside Lebanon.

Perhaps you could make a section in the article about the port, particularly since it caters to the biggest thermal powerplant. (MEA707 04:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for your response John. My name's Nabil. Thanks for the info about Jieh port. I was asking because I am trying to compile a list of official legal port of entries into Lebanon. I know there are 4 border crossings with Syria and at least 4 ports that can receive ships from other countries. Beirut airport is the only operational civilian airport at the moment, though this may change with the proposed future development of Kleyate airport north of Tripoli and Rayak Airbase in the Bekaa Valley. I am a university student at the moment working on a Business Administration degree. I'm just a big fan of MEA and perhaps one day in the future I will work for them! Take care.

Replaceable fair use Image:Jieh2.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jieh2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU 02:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Stgeorgesjieh vandalised.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Stgeorgesjieh vandalised.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 23:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Collegestcharbel.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:18, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The file File:Sleiman bustani.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused (see WP:NOTWEBHOST), unclear purpose

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
