User talk:Mystìc
ShahadaSalam brother. Of course, by Allah, the Shahadah is the most significant symbol for us. However, in this secular encyclopaedia, it is not about what WE feel represents us, but rather what universally represents us symbolically - and few people recognise the Shahadah. The crescent is more symbolic and universal, but then it's not really Islamic. As for the Mosque, I think that is definetely not a good option, as it could be a mandhir! So, to clarify, I would like it to be the Shahadah, but I agree that the crescent has a stronger case for being used, but either way, I disagree with the mosque. Just thought I might tell you my opinion, and although I support your request all the way, I still think it is not the best option. That is why I am neutral.

shahada issuehi mystic, I saw you left a message at my talk page. I actually dont understand what you wanted me to do. where's the actual discussion? I'd like to have my say there. Suleyman Habeeb 19:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC) Vote stacking on Template:IslamYou have recently been observed canvassing for votes regarding Template:Islam.Please note that this may be construed by many administrators as internal spamming, something severely frowned upon by most administrators on Wikipedia.This behavior in fact on one occasion contributed towards a Arbitration Committee ruling of disruptive behavior that resulted in blocking.Please do not game the system and respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by ceasing to further canvass for votes, and instead allow the process to instead reflect the opinions of editors that were actively involved in the matter at hand. Thanks. Netscott 22:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Vote Stacking proofActually your "gaming of the system" was in fact quite a bit worse than I had realized but now that I have reviewed your edits I can see that you've been essentially canvassing all along. You intitially started out mass mailing a group of users neutrally asking about the new image you wanted to add to the Template. [3] But when that didn't work you proceeded to persuade and induce belief that the group you spammed should support the image you added by internal spamming the following message across dozens of user talk pages:
When that didn't work you proceeded to continue to game the system: "would you kindly consider voting "for it" thanks"
"please include your name in the section for consensus" And you accuse me of "gaming the system" when I invited one person to join the debate (actually discuss "what represents Islam")? Let if go already! Netscott 20:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
) I have another chance..If you noticed I didn't even respond when Cunado accused me of sock puppeting.. And my current focus is on the Colombo article, and I am looking for someone to correct grammar mistakes in it. thats all I have to say. «₪Mÿš†íc₪» (T) 20:57, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Your post on my talk page is incredible, considering postings here Wikipedia:WikiProject_Islam:The_Muslim_Guild/Categories requesting votes. There is no wikipedia policy against informing long-standing members of votes the outcomes of which may interest them. In no case did I request that the party vote one way or the other. Your outrage is highly misdirected. --Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 20:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I didn't mean to imply that 10 was a magic limit. I put that in to show that I had contacted only a small number of people. But if I had contacted 100 (out of the tens of thousands of editors out there) it would have been no different- as long as I was targeting people I knew and worked with, andknew they would be interested. With all the bajillions of articles it is very easy for something to slip by someone when it is quite important to them - it has happened to me on votes, rfas, and the like on more than one occasion. For all that, I am still not aware of any policy that bars the conduct in which I engaged, and I fail to see such conduct banned in any of the materials you referred me to. Nor, on a slightly different topic, do I have any clue as to how saying "such and such a person was killed at Muhammad's order" can be "original research" (your justification for the vote) when the source for the statement is a myriad of Islamic sources whose purpose was to extoll Muhammad's virtues.

Image Tagging Image:Nabwi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nabwi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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.See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. gren グレン 03:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you contributed the above image which you made yourself. I don't know what program you used to make it but is it possible for you to contribute a SVG vector image of this map? There are numerous advantages with vector graphics for this sort of data, Vector graphics may give you an idea. One of the key advantages in this case is that the map can be enlarged to any size and still look good. It's also easier to edit for example to translate the image to other languages or to recolour or change the borders if this is ever necessary. If your program is unable to output SVG but is able to output vector graphics of any other kinds, e.g. EPF, PS, WMF, EMF etc then you're welcome to e-mail me the vector output and I should be able to convert it to SVG. If your program is incapable of output vector graphics or you worked completely in raster, would it be possible for you to submit a higher resolution version of this map? Currently, the text is a bit blurry and it's not very suitable if we want to highlight a certain area. If you do, I strongly recommend you use PNG instead of JPG. PNG which is a loseless compression format is much better for this sort of content then JPG which is lossy. JPG is primarily designed for photos. You'd probably find the PNG is in fact smaller but even if it isn't it's still wise to avoid JPG for such content. BTW, the specific reason I'm asking is because your image might be useful to illustrate where Colombo is for example in the ITN on the mainpage. Cheers Nil Einne 07:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC) Hi thank you for your interest in the article. I dont think I have the original image that I worked on. I used Photoshop for my work, please go ahead and edit the image as required.

Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 08:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Hi. When you uploaded Image:TalkArchive.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted. This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided. If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image. If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you.
