DYK for Forty Hadith of Ruhullah Khomeini[edit]

On 23 January 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Forty Hadith of Ruhullah Khomeini, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Forty Hadith authored by Ayatollah Khomeini is a collection of personal interpretations of 40 traditions attributed to the prophet Muhammad and The Twelve Imams? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Just to let you know, I reverted your deitalicization of the ship's name in the article title. I believe the usual style is to italicize a ship's name even when used adjectivally (cf. Mayaguez incident). But of course I could be wrong ... if I am it would be nice for someone to explain why. Daniel Case (talk) 01:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 16[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wasā'il al-Shīʿa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tus. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Lstfllw203, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to The Silk Roads has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. You copied material directly from http://www.peterfrankopan.com/ Thank you.

Tair Kaminer[edit]

Greetings, Lstfllw203. Please read the comments on Talk:Tair Kaminer regarding the possible deletion of the page for non-notability of a person known for one event. Evaders of IDF service are discussed in the article Refusal to serve in the IDF. Would you consider adding content there under a suitable sub-heading? Cheers, -- Deborahjay (talk) 10:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Edited to add: On 14 May 2016 you removed the proposal for deletion template, noting in the edit summary that you'd added (2) references. Your removing the template ends the WP:PROD process. The reason I suggest for deletion is that this person isn't notable enough for a page in the English Wikipedia. I mention this above and also in comments on the Talk:Tair Kaminer page. Compare with Omer Goldman, part of the Shministim movement, having numerous internal links within the English Wikipedia, thus that article isn't an "orphan" as Tair Kaminer is currently labeled. I'm willing to wait and see whether the latter article can be improved with more significant content. Her case has appeared repeatedly in the Israeli daily Haaretz also in its English-language edition, but this prominence may be largely a reflection of that newspaper's opposition to the present Israeli government and the occupation of the Palestinian territories. However, as the IDF has judged her unfit to serve, there may be little or no more to her story. -- Deborahjay (talk) 16:31, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
