Hi, contributing original artwork is encouraged. However, to be used in wikipedia articles, it all still has to have proper citations to what Wikipedia defines as reliable sources. Your Iran flag appears to be from your personal knowledge, so I nominated it for deletion. In addition, we don't have room for maps of every country on the Secession article, and we don't play favorites, so I'm deleting the map from that article too. If you can provide good sources for the image, it would be very appropriate - excellent in fact - to post the image at an article discussing Iran's ethnic groups. Hopefully you can provide good sources for the image and find a specific article to use it, because it's a great looking pic. Nice job on the layout end of things.

Hello, I'm Dougweller. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Raayen that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 12:20, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Lurs does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Dougweller (talk) 10:48, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

We should not be labeling people as a member of an ethnic group unless we have a very reliable source according to our criteria at WP:RS. Dougweller (talk) 12:06, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
