Picture of Bahaullah

Hi,it is user secthayrabe i was just asking is Wp allowed to show the picture of Bahaullah because in bahai faith you should not have it or show it.here is something about showing the picuter of bahaullah

"There is no objection that the believers look at the picture of Bahá'u'lláh, but they should do so with the utmost reverence, and should also not allow that it be exposed openly to the public, even in their private homes" (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, December 6, 1939) (Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 540) thanks please reply on my talk page thanks so much --Secthayrabe (talk) 13:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Copyright conflict with Ishraq3?

Hi there, I see that a copyright tag has been placed on the Ishraq3 image. I had forgotten to mention that that image is actually from the Bahá'í Library, which is hosted by the Universal House of Justice - if I'm not mistaken - the images from which require no copyright in order to employ for personal or public use. However, I don't know how to revert the copyright violation tag that's been set on it. How can this be done? Thanks in advance. --User:AdibMasumian

List of Bahá'ís

Per Talk:Bahá'í Faith#List of Baha'is I've reverted the mass edit out and commented that the as a general statement all these entries are sourced on their respective pages. I don't see any rule they must be sourced on the lists itself. I don't see any discussion of this issue on the referenced Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Christians (2nd nomination)--Smkolins (talk) 12:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

United Nations member states?? No or almost no citations there.Smkolins (talk) 12:14, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Category:Lists of countries?? yes meet policy and keep things right but I think this would simply remove lists in general as things like this would always require double entry. Why should categories be exempt - it's just code at bottom of a page. I see a few of lists of countries have been flagged with unsourced notes but is this really what Wikipedia wants? And has no one observed if sourcing is on the referenced page - no one has talked about it at all?--Smkolins (talk) 12:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

school categories

Various Baha'i schools are listed throughout the Category:International schools and per school by country but I wonder if there should be a Category:Schools by religious affiliation section for specifically Baha'i schools - (either by ownership or by curriculum). I don't know how to create a category.... or perhaps more of a move from a "education by religious affiliation" to "schools by religious affiliation"--Smkolins (talk) 04:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

referencing

Let me know what you think of Template:Harvnb. See note 6 on Hinduism. I think this will be useful to use on pages where the same source is quoted from different pages, and it will also remove some of the clutter in the text when editing. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 02:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I made a test page to mess around with the referencing. I think it works much better than what we use now. Check out User_talk:Cuñado/archive1. The first two notes are different pages of the same book, and the third note was a test to see which templates can be linked from a harvard reference. For example, the cite book template does not create an name anchor <a name="author"> but the citation template does. We'll have to change the references to the citation template, which I think is no big deal. We could also get all the citation templates to add a name anchor. I'm going to start making some changes on pages. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 21:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Take a look at Template:Cite book#name anchor. It took me awhile to get anyone to pay attention, and the response was not to change the template. Do you have a recommendation? I really want to use the {harvnb} template and reduce the clutter in the text, but the {citation} template formats in a way that I don't like. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 17:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jeff, I appreciate your contributions with Wikipedia and as I can see that you are the main contribution of Major religious groups. In last some days, Saimdusan has added his new created map and the dispute between me and him begin. I disagree with his creation in many points because as I can see that he is an anti-Buddhism and Chinese religions and always keep biased opinions for Roman Catholicsm and strongly pro-Atheism. See its Talk Page:

Thank you! Good luck!

Ah Well, that makes sense. Some of the objections were to the name, which has since been changed, and references were added to some of the articles, which addresses another complaint.

Glaysher

Jeff this edit of yours. I'm sure you're aware that we *do* allow authors to cite their own, even self-published material. The list of their works does not need to meet any non-self-published bar. You are, I think confusing that with what we *source* to, but we can even source to an author's own self-published statements. So I'm going to revert back in this information you deleted. Thanks.

Lidia Zamenhof

Hi Jeff, I notice that you removed the Polish Jews category and the Jewish Painters category from the Lidia Zamenhof article, saying that they were "unsupported." What do you mean by "unsupported"? Her parents were Jewish and she was raised as a Jew. As far as painting is concerned, I can find no evidence of that in her biography so I think you were spot-on there.

Thanks for your contribution on Nowruz article. The Bahai section looks better now. However, it is good not to exceed 2-3 paragraphs. As a suggestion, keep the size of the section to 2-3 paragraphs and refer the readers to the main article on Bahai new year. I also suggest you to have some more edits in Local variations section. This section need a major clean up.--Larno Man (talk) 02:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hud and Saleh

Thanks for your constructive criticism re: Hud and Saleh. I totally understand where you're coming from. However, I don't agree, for two reasons. First, the line in both articles that I added the citation to says, "A passage in the Kitáb-i-Íqán implies that Hud/Saleh is a Manifestation of God, a position of utmost religious importance to Bahá'ís." The citation was a link to said passage, and I figured it would be better to have a link to the passage that "implied," rather than [citation needed]. Second, when you only read the lines from the Íqán for each of those Prophets, it certainly can seem ambiguous, and thus original research. But taken in context, when you read from the beginning, it is VERY clear, and not ambiguous at all, that they are Manifestations. The preceding paragraphs talk about how the Manifestations were always rejected, and then He goes into detail about each. I would hardly call THAT original research. Your thoughts? --Managerpants (talk) 12:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I still disagree. I don't think that it takes any kind of "research" to draw that conclusion. It just takes reading the paragraphs in order. However, I'm not going to make a big deal about it... I'll leave it alone. I'll just stick to editing the music pages. --Managerpants (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

What I mean is, I disagree that it's against WP policy. I don't think reading the paragraphs of the source in order constitutes original research. After all, there is a difference between original research and research. But again, I'm not going to argue or split hairs about it. Although, if you feel the sources were no good, don't you feel it's just as irresponsible to leave the passages in the Hud and Saleh articles? --Managerpants (talk) 18:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kevjumba Loves Enya

A tag has been placed on Kevjumba Loves Enya requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kateshortforbob 21:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:

Okay, you dislike my edits. No problem, let's discuss. The problem I had with the user was that he reverted my edits and gave a confusing reason. I reverted him. He told me that I messed up the table, which I did, and which I fixed. Then he told me that my edits still had problems, and instead of waiting a response, went off and asked the opinions of 9 users. And gave me 3 vandalism warnings. Finally, after 3 hours, he told me what he disliked and I removed it. I think he's satisfied now.

I removed all the locations for Christianity and Islam because everybody seemed to have a different opinion on it. These two are very prominent religions - there's at least 5% of followers for each, in every country, and it is immensely difficult to categorize them (Christianity for Europe, Islam for North Africa, and on). We know that 10% of the British are muslims, and that countries like Saudi Arabia have a significant amount of Christian population. Moreover, it was sourceless and OR. So I removed it.

POV speculation

Dude, I had at least two Bahá'ís in my art class when I attended Tehran University back in late 90's. They didn't advertise their religion, but they were Baha'i nonetheless, and most of us who were close to them knew. Wikipedia is a not crystal ball, you can't categorically say that ALL Bahá'ís can't or won't lie about their religion to get into University, because many do. Muslims can't drink either, but half of Tehran drink alcohol.--07fan (talk) 04:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Your claim, even if it was backed by 200 sources, still constitutes original research as well. Wikipedia is no place for speculation, you or a source can't comment on people's intent, see WP:NOTCRYSTAL--07fan (talk) 05:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)]].

All these sources are citing an unverifiable claim. Why would the government release such a document? Where is this document? Who released or leaked it? Exceptional claims need dozen of reliable sources, and in this case, need to be verified by reliable non-partisan sources.--07fan (talk) 06:03, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL, how did the UN Human rights commissioner get his hand on confidential Iranian government documents? He "found" it in the street? This is nothing but an unverifiable claim and possibly a forgery. It's also a violation of WP:BLP as Khamanei is a living person, and you can't attribute something to him unless he's officially acknowledged it. --07fan (talk) 06:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

NHL Edit undo

I had deleted this section "The NHL fan base is also the most affluent and well educated of the four.[49] NHL season ticket prices have traditionally been higher (given the number of games per season) than the other sports.[49]" I dont see why or how that was wrong. If you look at season ticket prices they arent the most expensive of the four ajor sports, and saying they are more affluent and educated of the four fan bases is a partial statement. I stand by my edit! Ps your baseless threat of vandalism "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, or the insertion of nonsense into articles." That is so off base it isnt even funny.

There is no evidence supporting either of the claims is my point, the refferenced material does not support it. (Rongotti (talk) 21:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

Article People of the Book

This article People of the Book section regarding Dhimmis seems to be targeting specific groups by adding violating content. User Jeff3000 you seem to have problems with any user adding more content into the article and rvting information. Information and Definitions of Dhimmi should be properly said where i fixed the content that was not appropriate. Islam would never define Dhimmis in such a matter. Plus it already says on the top ( Clean up for Wiki Standard) and( Expand Link ) you perhaps didnt notice. If you keep rvting you will be reported for users contributing and fixing articles --Asalim din Lal (talk) 22:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Islam is not the fastest growing religion in South Korea

Hi!

I need some problems with Opticals about Islam is not the fastest religion in South Korea. He always persist in his Arab Islamic source, here is the detail [4]. Please tell your opinions about this case. Thank you so much. Angelo De La Paz (talk) 03:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Credible author

Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner. Can you help your fellow InternetHero?? InternetHero (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

I never said that Bahais believe in him as a Manifestation. They only respect him but do NOT believe in him. Ill get u a reference —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tp 2k7 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

So then whats the page for people they respect? I would advise you to read the "Joseph Smith" portion. It's only natural, that after reading that, I would add Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tp 2k7 (talk • contribs)

I'm not aware of any reference from a Baha'i or secondary source which mentions the status of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad with respect to the Baha'i view. As the article is about the Baha'i understanding of a Manifestation then he does not belong because there is no "Baha'i view". It would not be appropriate to list and say that there is little to say as there would be little constructive to say. The parts about Jospeh Smith and others have references that speak to the view of the Baha'is from authorities. So they belong. However, please do go ahead and write the House of Justice. If they say something that would make it appropriate to the article if their response appears in a citable form.--Smkolins (talk) 04:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello Jeff, I was curious as to whether I could contact you through another medium such as e-mail, preferably an instant messaging service like MSN.

Request For Rollback

Hi. If fulfilled your request. Please remember that rollback should only be used for removing obvious and simple vandalism, or for reverting your own comments when there is no benefit in an enhanced edit summary. In other situations it is best to use another methos of removing edits. If rollback is misused it can be easily removed by any admin. If you need any help please ask me or see WP:RBK for more. I noted your historical block and edit warring warnings so please do not use this tool in content disputes. Pedro :  Chat  07:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

List of RC Strasbourg players

What do you mean by "other Wikipedia pages cannot be used as sources, and the only souce is not accessible"? I am only referring to the section in the main article to get complete sources, I am not citing it as a source! There is no page listing all the records, I cannot make it up! I am progressively adding individual footnotes for records/national caps but this takes quite a lot of time and, anyway, the main websites I use are listed at the end of the page... If you could just take a few seconds to look at it instead of adding stupid banners it would help a lot! Zitelli67 (talk) 13:03, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Nazi grudge vandal

Hello. Thanks for reverting the recent template vandalism by 24.39.1.245 (talk · contribs). Unfortunately the poor soul behind this vandalism has decided to use Wikipedia for his own grudge match. Since this vandal always operates via open proxies and has been reported numerous times to WP:AN and WP:AN/I, please feel free to report him on sight (and un-warned) to WP:AIV. In order to help us limit the damage he can cause, if you run into this vandal again, just immediately report it to AIV with a diff so that we may block him as quickly as possible (the normal process of escalating warnings is not really necessary for this IP-hopping vandal). Please let me know if you have any questions or issues, and thanks for helping keep Wikipedia clear of vandalism! --Kralizec! (talk) 19:54, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
