Alp Arslan

Why did you move this to "Arp Aslan"? Adam Bishop (talk) 03:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I see he is sometimes called that, but I think that may have been an alternate pronunciation, by medieval Armenians or something. It's definitely properly "Alp Arslan". Adam Bishop (talk) 22:20, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Abdulmalik.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Abdulmalik.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Don't create unreferenced articles

Please do not create articles without including any supporting references as you did with Battle of Roccavione and Battle of Montebruno. I have also removed the claims that US and Saudi troops were fighting in Yemen as part of Operation Blow to the Head as none of the sources given in the article stated this.

Fair use rationale for File:Abdullahmehdar.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Abdullahmehdar.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 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 02:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Astigiani Wars

Please see the Talk:Astigiani Wars page for a discussion of what the article name needs to be. Also note that the article needs additional citations and verifiable sources. I've added the article as of interest to two Projects. You've done a lot of work on this. I'd like to see it mature. You may be able to get added help at either or both of the projects. Please remember we're producing encyclopedic content based on Wikipedia's Five Pillars. SBaker43 (talk) 09:04, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Stop making up names for stuff

The term "Nanda War", capitalised like that, is a name. We are not licensed to make up names. We can describe things in whatever way is accurate based on our reliable sources, and we can title it in any way that is in accordance with our conventions, but we cannot just make up a name for it. If we were professional authors, we could. But we're not, so we can't. You've done this before. Srnec (talk) 00:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Pristina Standoff

Are you really sure that Mike Jackson was a NATO commander at that time, I've hear din some articles that he did not want to start World War III during a conversation with Wesley Clark — Preceding unsigned comment added by VJ-Yugo (talk • contribs) 00:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Your contributed article, George S. Patton, Sr

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.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, George S. Patton, Sr. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - George S. Patton. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at George S. Patton - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ttonyb (talk) 19:31, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
