Copyright of images?[edit]

hello Kmabadir,

I just had a question regarding your contribution of Professor Naguib Pasha Mahfouz. For the three images, such as [1], where did you get the images from, scanned from a book I assume? Please be aware that Wikipedia has strict copyright rules regarding images. Is it a public domain, fair use, copyrighted, etc.? For further information on copyright rules you can look up Copyright and Licensing in the Wikipedia Commons [2]. If you have further questions you can also ask me, with kind regards Gryffindor 13:47, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ahmed Hassan Said[edit]

The article Ahmed Hassan Said has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

you cannot promote your own work[edit]

in the lead of the article, or anywhere, really. If you persist, it is likely you will be blocked or banned. soibangla (talk) 11:35, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These are published facts. One may or may not like them, but removing/hiding them is not going to help understand and solve these economic problems. Kmabadir (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A google docs of one page from your alumni magazine, which can't even be read, does not constitute "published facts" by Wikipedia standards, nor do I see your other sources explicitly corroborate your claims of predicting anything. You would need a reliable secondary source saying you did, not just your research papers. I doubt what you're doing here is considered appropriate in your line of work, and it isn't here, either. soibangla (talk) 13:55, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have removed the article in "International Banker" which they had prior to any data indicating stagflation. The first data indicating inflation came out in October in the US and later in Europe. Kmabadir (talk) 14:09, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As for the prediction of the Great Recession, anyone who attended Professor Abadir's inaugural lecture at Imperial College in summer 2007 knows this. One of them was an employee of the Bank of England who invited me to give the same talk there the month after. Similarly for a long list of invited seminars at universities and central banks (incl the Fed). Kmabadir (talk) 14:12, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you deny you're Karim Abadir? In any event, here's the bottom line on Wikipedia: you must use reliable secondary sources that say you predicted something. You can't just present your own papers and claim they show you predicted something. I'm pretty sure that if you had predicted the Great Recession with any degree of specificity the whole world would've heard of you long before now. soibangla (talk) 14:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The editors of the alumni magazine were sitting in on the inaugural lecture, and this is why "recession" was thre topic they chose to report on.

But you still don't answer why you have removed the mention & link to the article in "International Banker" which they had in Sept, prior to any data indicating stagflation. The first data indicating inflation came out in October in the US and later in Europe. Does this not qualify as prediction, published by a certified outlet? Kmabadir (talk) 15:09, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are not alone in raising the prospect of stagflation. Are we there yet? Nope. And there's always someone who makes such predictions, knowing that no one will remember when they get it wrong, but if they get it right they'll be a rock star of economics. soibangla (talk) 15:26, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote in your Sep 2021 International Banker piece "This current stagflation..."[3] Do you assert that 2021 EU GDP growth of 5.4% and 2021 US GDP growth of 5.7% (highest in 40 years) indicates economic stagnation? Do you assert the most recent numbers, while perhaps cooler, indicate economic stagnation? We were not in stagflation in Sep 2021 and we still aren't, with current data. So you first made an incorrect assertion of fact, and even if you amend it to be a prediction, it still has not as yet come to pass. soibangla (talk) 16:14, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) This conversation has veered away from the point. Guidance is to be very cautious in citing yourself regardless of the source's merits. Cabayi (talk) 07:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
