Aziz Mahmud Hudayi

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Aziz Mahmud Hudayi, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.mevlana800.info/sufi.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Erzurumlu Ibrahim Hakki

The article Erzurumlu Ibrahim Hakki has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:N - no sources, and Google search turns up nothing in English. I cannot read sources in Arabic or Turkish (sorry, I'm English) so if these exist, please add them to the article to prevent deletion.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File permission problem with File:Abu Barakat Tomb in Maldives.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Abu Barakat Tomb in Maldives.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may 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. Kelly 13:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Some advice

I see you're having a bit of difficulty getting anything done here at Misplaced Pages. Can I suggest that you might want to read my advice to new users? It's a good place to start. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:30, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

More of the same

It's not for us to decide how to interpret history. Recent edits made by you to Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi and Lycia seem aimed not to more accurately reflect sources, but to favour an interpretation. To be frank, several edits seem motivated by "feelings", personal disposition to the subject; this is something we all struggle with- just a well intended 'heads-up'.

Disambiguation link notification for May 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kanal İstanbul, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EXPRESS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 00:43, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement warning: WP:ARBAA2

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Specifically, please keep in mind that it is not compatible with WP:NPOV to make edits that make Misplaced Pages reflect (only) the government of Turkey's position regarding the Armenian genocide; see my talk page.  Sandstein  13:23, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
