[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Austourgonzalezcover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Austourgonzalezcover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Videmus Omnia 03:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab World Edits

Hi,

As an editor, I can understand why you would feel my edits might seem unsupported. However, they are not.

Berbers migrated from the Middle East to North Africa. They already had ancestral ties to the Arab World long before they ever set foot in Africa. Proof of this is right there in their DNA. Egyptians and Somalis, like Berbers, are also defined by genetic haplogroups characteristic of Arab populations, namely, the E3b, J and K2 Y chromosome haplogroups in addition to the pre-HV and M1 mtDNA haplogroups.

Please follow the links to those haplogroup pages and check the references provided to see for yourself that this is the case.

There are also major clans within Somalia such as the Darod and the Isaaq that are directly descended from Arab patriarchs from Yemen. Combined, these clans make up well over 50% of the Somali population. Yemen itself is only 10 miles away from the Northern coast of Somalia across the Gate of Tears and has a huge Somali population of almost a million. There has been genetic, cultural and religious exchange between these two communities as well as Ethiopia for millenia -- it didn't just begin with the Islamization of the Horn of Africa.

I also want to point out that there is this one particular user that keeps removing my moderating words like "arguably" and "it could be argued" to make it appear as if there is no genetic or cultural connection whatsoever between the groups dubbed "Arab" and Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula, which is just absurd and completely out of whack with historical and especially genetic facts. He seems particularly keen on trying to distance Egyptians from Arabs, although the genetic connection between these two populations is extremely strong and well-established. I get the impression he is one of those Afrocentrists that is convinced ancient Egyptians were black despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

All I ask is that you revert the page back to my previous edit dated 10:39, 30 March 2008. If you check the actual lines I edited on that date, they are not much at all. I just tried to add balance to the page because, as it stood (and now currently stands), it had a distinctly and needlessly anti-Arab feel to it. I also did not tamper with the other edits you made to try and keep the page as non-partisan and neutral as possible. Thanks, Causteau (talk) 04:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC);

[edit] PlayStation 3 Edits

Sorry, but at the prototype, PlayStation 3 can connect to 4 sixaxis controllers. Like Nintendo 64, it can connect up to 4 controllers. With a PlayStation Multitap, only 4 controllers can be connected. 31Gabe 11:30 16 March 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 18:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tunisia Edits

Hi :) You keep reverting my removal of a picture on the Tunisia page. I fail to see how relevant "breadmaking" is to Tunisia's demographics. For, it is not every Tunisian that bakes traditional, Arabic country "tabouna" bread but rather a very small number of mainly country folk. On other pages, there is usually not an image of any group of people under demographics. This is probably due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to thoroughly represent a country's population in one image. On the Malaysia page, for instance, there is not a picture of egg roll cooks, but rather, images of monuments. Could you kindly explain why it is that you insist on reverting the article? You aren't simply doing it for the sake of it, are you? a Knee-jerk reaction, perhaps? It is further problematic that an image of two Muslim women is being used without their permission, as the Islamic faith shuns any kind of exhibitionistic imagery, particularly of their women. 70.132.151.236 16:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You could certainly bring it up over on the Tunisia talk page if you so wish. I see no problem if breadmaking is part of some Tunisian heritage, or if Tabouna is indigenous to the region or country. Perhaps, if it was moved to a more suitable subheading like indigenous food or cuisine and expanded on from there?
Personally though, I don't think a picture of egg roll cooks or hawkers would be out of place in the Malaysia page. Well. Maybe not egg roll cooks but certainly other cooks of local fare like the pandan cake or otak-otak. It would definitely go under culture or cuisine of Malaysia, but apparently those sections are so big they have their own pages as well. It is good, I would think, to showcase the fact that Tunisia has distinct local fare compared to other countries.
With regards to the image of Muslim women though. I believe that comes down to their Islamic denomination, and interpretation of picture-making which is something I'm not going to go to great lengths to discuss. Some say it's halal and some say it's haraam and quite really I'm not about to make my talk page an avenue of discussion on it. If it's brought up over on the Tunisia talk page, perhaps someone will listen. Chan Yin Keen | Talk 02:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PS3

I know the talk pages are not forums, but it is good to make news announcements so people working on the article can look out for recent stuff. Like a monthly sales number for Europe. --Playstationdude 23:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
