User talk:Zhatim

You need to ask a question. --Stephen 22:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC) {{Helpme}} Good day (or evening), I have written a new article and have included lots of citations (references) but still it tells me that I need more. I have no idea what I did wrong. I have picked most of the information from a particular source. Most other information is actually references themselves. It is the article about Dr. Michel Fattouche that is in My Contributions. Help!!!!

I'm a little confused. The banner date is January 2008, yet your first edit (complete with the banner!) is 16:02, 21 December 2010 - has the article been copied from another page or another site? The banner will not go away on it's own, someone added it to whatever page you used, and it stays until you remove it - it's the first line in the edit window - {{BLP sources|date=January 2008}}.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I removed the banner; I think (just before I got your message - hence the uncertainty). The article now does not display the requirement for more citations. However, I cannot see it in a search of Michel Fattouche. Is there something else that is wrong?

Here it is! →♠Gƒoley↔Four♣← 17:40, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Calgarians of the year.PDF

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Calgarians of the year.PDF. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 02:40, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Hatim Zaghloul

Thank you for your effort at contributing to the Wikipedia, especially if you are a newcomer. The Wikipedia community owes its newcomers a lot, and continues to value this as per policy and per practice.

That said, the article you created at Hatim Zaghloul seems to be erroneously placed, as it seems to consist of information you give about yourself. Aimed at being an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's main (article) namespace is not generally the best place for this. In order to preserve the results of your effort for you, and since the article appears to be about you, I have moved it for you to your user space, which is the best location for a user's information about themselves in the first place.

If you really did mean to create an article about yourself, please be aware that this is often considered a bad idea, even if you do meet the guidelines for inclusion of biographies.

I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors, so you are welcome to ask for help at the help desk or on my talk page.

As a technical note (and please don't be put off by the grown elaborate nature of some parts of the expression of Wikipedia's rules - as you will soon find out, they're by no means all that technical), as per Wikipedia standards and principles (available from e.g. here), an autobiographic article is usually eligible for deletion without further discussion under criterion A7 in the criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. Colliding with this criterion is considered a common mistake to avoid. Guy (Help!) 11:02, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

You have a clear conflict of interest in respect of Michel Fattouche. As you apparently have legal action pending, you may not write about yourself, Michel Fattouche or the standards in which you are involved. Guy (Help!) 11:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Michel Fattouche for deletion

The article Michel Fattouche is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michel Fattouche until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. bender235 (talk) 13:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Article has been deleted

I wrote an article "Michel Fattouche." It was deleted on two grounds: 1. it had no external citations (references) and 2. it had some conflict of interest (some of the subject matter was in a court case). The first issue was artificial since the person who recommended deleting the article had himself deleted the external references that were originally included. The second one has been nullified since the litigation has been settled favorably. I am not sure how to get the article back in. I have to admit that I am very disappointed with this exercise since it seems Wiki was pressured to remove the article by the big boys (Intel, Broadcom and other big WiFi players). However, this is a conjecture from my side.

Another article that my daughter wrote based on the first article was moved as an auto-biography (or whatever they call it) to be under my own account (originally it was under "Hatim Zaghloul"). I do not know what to do about this. Again, I think the editor was biased.

It is unlikely that Intel, Broadcom, etc., were involved. Since it was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michel Fattouche, you have basically two options—you can request a Deletion review, in order to have the deletion decision re-examined; or, you can submit a request at Articles for creation with a new version that addresses the issues raised in the deletion debate. Whichever you decide, I can provide a copy of the deleted article in your userspace on request. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 01:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I would appreciate if you could provide the original article (the one with the references that the editor deleted before stating that there were no external references). Do I have to create the article with a different title? What about my own article?
