Welcome!

Hello, Maher27777, 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, like Abdul Salam El Termanini, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, 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:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Bonewah (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abdul Salam El Termanini

A tag has been placed on Abdul Salam El Termanini 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Bonewah (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

You're welcome. I created a lot of the articles and templates, a lot of them in the belief that some day people like you will come along and add their knowledge and sources about them.. If you can expand them using sources you have and add any photographs you have I look forward to seeing them develop. Keep up the good work! You may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Libya. You can also invite any of your friends to join and help put Libya on the map! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 16:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change whatever you need to. Remember I'm not an Arabic speaker or translator so I have no idea what the names actually mean. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Hi there! I just wanted to say that I had noticed all the articles you're creating - you're doing a great job! If you need any help, feel free to ask me questions you have. Welcome! Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:IdrisI2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:IdrisI2.jpg. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 02:20, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Darnah

In August 2009 you added the sentence: There is an association in Darnah named Al Haila interested in gathering Libyan antiquities. to the Darnah, Libya article. Do you have a citation for that? Could you explain how it is relevant to the article, so that it could be placed in the appropriate section? --Bejnar (talk) 17:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I was a bit concerned about its notability as it was not mentioned in the three guidebooks that I consulted. Do they run a museum under another name? Remember that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Bejnar (talk) 16:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

		In recognition of your contributions to 2011 Libyan uprising, during which you risked your own personal safety, I award you the Bulletproof Barnstar.

Do you have a picture of one that isn't burned? A picture of a burned building doesn't really illustrate the purpose for which the building was constructed, although it certainly serves to illustrate the politics of the uprising. 24.22.217.162 07:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wadi el Kuf Bridge‎

Just wondered where you got the 500m main span for the bridge. You changed it with out providing any references. The external link on the page has the main span listed as 282m and has supporting diagrams. ShakyIsles (talk) 04:02, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean the length of the bridge from start to end, I simply used the car I drove to measure it!--Maher27777 (talk) 14:07, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The bit you changed was the main span which is 282m. There is a diagram if you click on the external link on the Wadi el Kuf Bridge‎ page. The length of the entire bridge is 477m (also shown in the diagram). I've added that information to the page. If you still disagree plase provide some references.

We noticed though that when you edited Murrah ibn Ka'b, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Quraish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of Barrah bint Abdul Uzza

Hello Maher27777,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Barrah bint Abdul Uzza for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Tritario (talk) 13:20, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge

Hello. I've revamped the contest page into this, based on the new British model. Long term goal, but I've added entries since the beginning of July to give it some initial life. Please add anything you've done then this then too! I hope it proves productive long term. The contests are still planned, but will be more tools towards increasing bulk output in overall goal. It's a permanent goal now, and open! I would be grateful if you could keep a record of all your articles you do there, as I really think seeing the combined efforts will encourage others to create more content too!

Mustafa Ben Halim

Hi,

regarding Mustafa Ben Halim, I'm quite confident he is not dead. An important political figure like him would have gotten many obituaries from Libyan news sites, so I think the Libya Akhbar one is simply a mishap. I saw reports of his death began circulating on Facebook on February 18. Anyway, to revert every edit when there is an (apparently) reliable source reporting it basing ourselves on an edit summary is not so righteous. I know the user which made the edits and he is (usually) correct. But I'd really like to find at least a denial from his family, to be sure. Thanks for your interest, this is not a moot point at all. --Folengo (talk) 19:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

John J. Richardson moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, John J. Richardson, is not suitable as written to remain published. You must include citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thanks, EDG 543 ^{(message me)} 14:38, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:John J. Richardson

Hello, Maher27777. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:John J. Richardson, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:01, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Australians entering the Public Domain 2022

Eothan (talk) 02:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC) Hi thanks for the heads up on Australian authors. I have created a list of authors, politicians, artsits, and public figures who died in 1951 as I thought their unpublished material (letters, manuscripts, drawings etc) would have been under copyright until 70 years after their death. So I'm wondering where it would it be best to add this list of names - there are around 30 of them? Best.[reply]

@Eothan: You can add them to Countries with life + 70 years list in the same page. Singers are not authors. Songwriters and Musicians are. You can add any one who wrote even one copyrighted work. Works of Australian authors who died up to 1954 are in public domain in Australia. Authors who died in 1955 will enter public domain in Australia in 2026, 1956 in 2027, and so on. Thanks.--Maher27777 (talk) 06:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
