License tagging for Image:Lebsf.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Lebsf.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Lebarmy m113.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Lebarmy m113.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey 18:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Zvoters, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Zvoters logo.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Zvoters logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for Image:Uh1hbomb.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Uh1hbomb.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 16:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Lebaneseairforceemblem.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lebaneseairforceemblem.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. J Milburn (talk) 21:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image permission problem with Image:Lebrepguard.gif[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Lebrepguard.gif. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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 [email protected], 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images 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. J Milburn (talk) 21:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008[edit]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Image:Lebaneseairforceemblem.gif. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

DYK for Lebanese Navy SEALs Regiment[edit]

On 13 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Lebanese Navy SEALs Regiment, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Gatoclass (talk) 01:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was fixing the page. Yarzeh is a village in Lebanon and it is not a Prison. The content of the page was redirecting it to Yarze prison page which is basically not the village itself. In addition, I was fixing the content of the page, so instead of redirecting it to a different topic page, now it has basic details about the actual village not any other subject. Please remove the warning

Oh, ok I thought you're blanking the page without a reason. Notification removed. Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 14:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Lebnavysealinbase.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Lebnavysealinbase.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Message left on my talk page[edit]

Which image are you talking about? If the image is not available in many places, why do you believe it is released under the Creative Commons license that you claim it is? J Milburn (talk) 19:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, why do you believe that it is licensed under a Creative Commons license? J Milburn (talk) 19:13, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you have read somewhere that it is licensed under a Creative Commons license, it is safe to assume it isn't. As a rule, we don't guess what the copyright of images is, especially with modern images. As for your other point, which image are you meaning? Could you link to it? J Milburn (talk) 19:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, that's not the way it works. Unless the copyright holder says it is released under a free license or into the public domain, an image is considered copyrighted. As for Image:Lebnavysealnahrbaredvic.jpg, I can see nothing on the source page about the image being released under a Creative Commons license. Just because that site has permission to use it, doesn't mean that everyone else does. J Milburn (talk) 19:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ground Forces[edit]

Hi Zaher1988, you're absolutely right about the history and combat history separation. I was wondering if you can help me with the location of the brigades and regiments under the Lebanese Ground Forces list by adding the base where each unit is found, because there's a very small amount of sources to rely on for adding such things. I tried the lebarmy website and other locations to find an info but there was nothing. Thank you.Alain08 (talk) 08:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for removing the notice message from the Ground Forces part, I did it because I started adding info. for the regional commands and brigades. My mistake. As for the bold character, well I think that the main parts (that have a single star *) deserve a bold character regardless if they have additional info or not.Alain08 (talk) 10:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiki[edit]

Hi Zaher,

First of all, you are doing a very good job in putting appropriate information concerning the military of Lebanon on wikipedia.

A small advice on using the interwikis links in wikipedia : Usually, you shouldn't add an interwiki link to a WP page in another language that doesn't physically exist (please check my modification : [1])

Lebanese Army pages management guideline[edit]

Hi, You may wish to consider re-posting the contents of this article at the Middle Eastern military history task force. This task force exists to co-ordinate the efforts of editors with an interest in Middle Eastern militaries and military history and would be a much better way to draw attention to these gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of the Lebanese Army.

Brigades[edit]

Hi Zaher, would this site be helpful for putting info. about the location of the brigades? [2] Since it's in the past I'm not sure if anything could be reliable and post-able.Alain08 (talk) 09:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lebanese armed forces TF[edit]

Hi Zaher:

Congratulations on successfully setting up a Milhist task force: you did a fine job! I've added a few bits and pieces to integrate it further into the Milhist structure (like adding it to the TF list.

I have a few reservations though about the TFs longer term viability. We usually find that we need a core membership of about six editors to keep them going so we generally ask for six editors to support before we proceed. The solution here is for you to try to rercruit a few more editors :) Next, the scope – Lebanese Armed Forces – is a bit specialist and it might have been better as the "Lebanese military history task force". The explanatory scope text on the TF page will need expanding and clarifying at some stage. The next thing is you'll need to arrange tagging so that articles within the scope can be easily identified. We'll need to set up a tag string Lebanese=yes on the Milhist history template. What are your thoughts?

--ROGER DAVIES ^talk 11:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So we should a reply from someone first??. Concerning the recruiting, I'm following you that approach you suggested too. --Zaher1988 (talk) 16:42, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kirill is one of the Milhist coordinators and looks after our templates, TF set up, and so forth. I've asked him to change the name to "Lebanese milihasry history task force" and to integrate the task force fully into our structure. He has put together a changed page [[3]]. It looks good to me. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:01, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you like it. There's nothing now for you to do on the infrastructure, other than recruit members :) Kirill will take care of all the technical stuff. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:16, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed but it shouldn't be long now. Kirill is putting it all together at the moment. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing, isn't it? :) (And don't forget to sign ~~~~ your posts :) ) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:50, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, you might think about giving Kirill a litle something for his efforts. Not compulsory, of course, but it might be a nice gesture. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very many thanks but it really wasn't necessary. Lovely thought though :)) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 19:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:49, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
