User talk:Nakh: Difference between revisions

Hello, Nakh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. 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 your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

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!  Calaka (talk) 12:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 12:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Helpme}} Can I use any picture posted on Wikipedia, in other topics of Wikipedia. Nakh 10:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. In fact, in most cases you cannot use any image that is fair use (rather than licensed under a free license) that has been uploaded for use in one article, in any other article. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair use images are specific to use in particular topics and in particular ways. This is not true all the time (and there are subtleties) but most fair use images are only properly used in articles which are about the subject the picture depicts and must be used at the beginning of that article. For example, a picture of a book cover or album cover is fair use as an educational image in an article on that album or book, but nowhere else. You could not properly, for example, use a fair use image of an album cover in a biography article on a band member simply because their image appears on that album cover. Now, if the image is licensed under a free license, or is in the public domain, you can use it anywhere. Any image page that is from the Wikimedia Commons is a free image as they only accept free images. Though all free images on Wikipedia really belong on the commons, people often upload them here, but many images locally uploaded are fair use and thus restricted. You can recognize a fair use image by the fair use rationale that the image page contains.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 10:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(I was composing a reply at the same time as the above; I'll add a bit of clarification)

The vast majority of pictures can be used on any page, but yes, you need to check if they are 'fair use', by clicking on the pic. For example, look at File:Windows logo.svg, and notice that it has a "Non-free media use rationale" - so it can only be used on specific articles; I cannot even display it here on your talk page. If, however, you click on the Phobos picture here, you will see that it is free for any use.

If you are not sure, just ask;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

Greetings Nakh, would you be so kind to help me create an article about Confucius in Chechen Wikipedia? Please. It's about a Chinese philosopher and is listed as one of the articles every Wikipedia should have. If you think that article is too long, here is a short version: "Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese thought and life. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity." Thanks a lot! --Amaqqut (talk) 13:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! I see that you have created the article, that's great! And could I ask you to add some categories to the article? Please. Thank you once again and best wishes! --Amaqqut (talk) 14:54, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nakh, I have looked at the Ilyasof book and noticed that you have copied many paragraphs almost verbatim. Please do not do that, or all your work may come to nothing. Wikipedia is very keen on copyright issues, and text that has been merely copied from a book will be deleted mercilessly. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 07:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I see no great harm yet, but you should try to rephrase the information you already entered, using your own words. That should not be much work; half of it has already been edited.
  In the future you may consider taking notes from the book by hand, and then editing the article by looking only at your notes. That is a way of removing the temptation to copy-paste from the net, and it will probably also improve the logical structure of your text.
  By the way, it would be nice also if you could upload a couple of photos of those towers, if you have taken any yourself. They are indeed quite striking and original. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 19:22, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My dear Nakh, may I suggest that you and User:Taamu submit this article to arbitration? You have the beginnings of an edit war here, and that does no one any good. I am not on the arbitration committee, however, if I can be of further service, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you the best of the day, --Lyricmac (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under a decision of the Arbitration Committee, at WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions, administrators can impose sanctions such as blocks, bans from certain pages or topic areas, or reverting limitations, on any editor who edits disruptively in the field of Eastern Europen history or politics. With your edits on Alania and related pages, you have been introducing questionable material in very poor English (in fact, some of it barely readable), partly apparently plagiarised from other sources (according to the thread just above), and which overall appears to be driven by a POV agenda, and you have been extensively edit-warring over these additions. I am informing you that you may face sanctions if you continue editing in this style. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, really, thank you (that's Barkala or barkallash, right?). I'd really love to learn some time, though I'm really busy right now (I'm a student, so... ugh). I really know so little... My great-uncle, and occasionally my grandfather were the only people I ever heard speaking it, and I generally only picked up words that are said alone (like marta, dunno how that should be spelled was breakfast, I think) or random phrases. Whenever I try to learn on my own, often the dictionary will be only Russian-Chechen (and I don't know much Russian either), or the Chechen will be in Cyrillic letters. I really appreciate it though =). --Yalens (talk) 16:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nakh,

I have placed the three articles on my watchlist.

I don't have Jamoukha's book available right now, but I do have this: http://www.shamsali.org/taj/chechnat.html . It is mainly about Chechens (i.e. any differences of the Ingush or Batsbi in the topics discussed aren't noted), but it makes note of much history, culture, and ethics, and could be of much use for Nakh towers and Vainakh mythology. I will see what can be added from that source soon, feel free to use it yourself as well. --Yalens (talk) 23:15, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nakh,

I have been working on the Pkharmat page. Do you like it? Should I continue with the comparison stuff (I hope to add the Georgian and Circassian comparisons as well soon), or should we reorganize it? --Yalens (talk) 01:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nakh,

You have probably already seen this, but, yeah, I put a section up for democracy... I am sure it will only be a matter of time before people put a "neutrality" tag on the page, but I feel its at least somewhat neutral. Yes, it notes the democratic nature of the teip system, which is of course exactly what the West likes to see and Russia would rather them not see, and people will call it "biased" for that, but I think, if they do, we should rebut it by saying that its simply the truth, whether the truth leans towards more legitimacy towards the Noxchi view of the war or not.

Also-I have made a page, awhile ago, because I felt wikipedia lacked it, about Circassian nationalism (i.e., wanting independence from Russia). I was wondering how much you knew about the the topic and if you could help me with the page. Barkall. --Yalens (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:1944Genocide.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 05:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:1944Genocide.jpeg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 10:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Attacks on humanitarian corridors in Chechnya has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-neutral article based on some questionable references including a blog. Fails WP:NPOV, WP:RS

While all contributions to Wikipedia 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. andy (talk) 14:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Attacks on humanitarian corridors in Chechnya, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Attacks on humanitarian corridors in Chechnya. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. andy (talk) 23:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are having some trouble with editing here, but I can not speak freely because of an aggressive campaign by certain users on-wiki. If you want to talk with me, you are welcome to use my wikipedia email (it should appear as one of options at my user page) or include your own email in "My preferences". Then I will send you email.
