User talk:I.Casaubon

Welcome!

Hello, I.Casaubon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Michael Slackman, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! E Wing (talk) 04:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Slackman

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael Slackman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. E Wing (talk) 04:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete other contributors' additions simply because you disagree with them as you did here. That is not acceptable conduct. If there is any further disruption of this AfD I will report it to the administrators' noticeboard for action. You may find yourself being blocked as a result. Prioryman (talk) 15:20, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Prioryman was attaching irrelevant material to a debate in order to obfuscate the issue and illegitimately influence the outcome of the debate.I.Casaubon (talk) 15:22, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you disagree with my view that the previous discussions are relevant, but please do not simply delete what I have posted because you disagree with it, and please assume good faith about my motives. An AfD cannot be obfuscated or "illegitimately influenced" by linking it to previous clearly related discussions; if anything, it sheds light on the situation, as it shows how Wikipedia has dealt with similar issues in the past. Prioryman (talk) 15:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add, it's absolutely fine to set out your objections, as you've now done. Deletion of contributions is bad, but you have every right to state your disagreement publicly. Prioryman (talk) 15:51, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was not deleting any comments. I was deleting a red herring, a box of unrelated articles with superficially similar titles that you posted at the top of the page in an effort to make it look as though an article similar to this had been previously created and deleted.

Hi I - a thought: perhaps rework the article into something about 'discrimination in arab countries' and you can bring in the aparthied quotes from khaled and dershowitz, etc. Soosim (talk) 06:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-semitism

hi i. - i just edited four pages relating to Anti-semitism, and all four were reverted - take a look and let me know what you think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Arab_world and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_Palestinian_territories and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_antisemitism - certainly it belongs in 'new' and has relevance to the others, no? thanks.

Sorry.

In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Economic history of the Arab world, I was under the impression most of it came from bits in [[Economic history of the Muslims, not realising you had wrote those bits for that article. My apologies.

IT might be worth seeking to merge your article with Islamic economics in the world, but I see no need to do so right away; develop the new article first, then, if there's still significant overlap, it may be possible to make one really, really good article from two good ones.

I have restored the page to User:I.Casaubon/Saeeid Shahabi so that you can get the text about the significance and references in there, then you can move it back to being an article. The template said not for living people so I did not attach it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Qanta A. Ahmed

The article Qanta A. Ahmed has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia: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. –Dream out loud (talk) 00:55, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apartheid in Bahrain

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Apartheid in Bahrain, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikibias.com/2011/04/apartheid-in-bahrain-censored-by-wikipedia.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 14:18, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't repost that again. You don't get to unilaterally decide that you've found enough sources to overcome the prior deletion result. Make your case at Wikipedia:Deletion review if you honestly think that you have one. postdlf (talk) 14:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Stephen. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

Citations

I'm so glad you added a reliable source to Gerard Bramwell Long. However, as I mentioned to you at Talk:Wales Evangelical School of Theology, the way you've been formatting your citations is incorrect. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and consider using citation templates. Thanks. St Anselm (talk) 13:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jonathan Stephen

I think we should go ahead and do a deletion review on article. There was no consensus and yet it was deleted. It's interesting that the deleter totally forgot to mention the BEC, FIEC, or Affinity, which I argue are some of the strongest arguments and which wikipedia doesn't have the greatest policy on.

Apartheid in Bahrain

OK --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:06, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted Bahrain and the apartheid analogy per WP:CSD#G4, as a recreation of previously deleted content at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apartheid in Bahrain and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 April 27. That you would recreate this content under a different title within little more than a month after the DRV is inexcusable. I am also posting a notice at WP:ANI regarding this and your other edits on this topic recently. postdlf (talk) 00:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
