[edit] Greetings to (and from) wikipedia
Usually you should be geting a greeting message from the welcoming committee. Since they didnt you see you coming, here I am doing that.
The rules, in brief, are
- Be bold
- Be neutral
- Edit in good faith
I can see that you already got a {{copyvio}} tag for you edit in Malé International Airport. It is against wikipedia's policy to post copyrighted material. You will have to re-write your own version from the available information. However copying a line or two is harmless.
Same goes with uploading images. Its source should be clearly defined with the appropriate tag inserted to it.
The policies could be boring and long, but I recommend you read them before becoming a Wikipedia:Wikiholic. Some important ones are listed in my user page under general stuff.
Happy wiki'ing --Oblivious 20:33, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] about airports article
Oblivious, thank you for your welcoming note. Really appreciate the heads-up on copyright policies of Wikipedia. The Airports article was the very first edit I ever did on Wikipedia, and I was merely testing it with full intentions of posting my own work shortly. Too bad that I didn't know about the Sandbox lastnight.
Am glad that we have a veteran Wikipedian (judging your work) among us. Am relying on your expertise to guide me right now.
- You are most welcome! --Oblivious 15:46, 7 August 2005 (UTC),
[edit] Greetings
welcome, and yes Oblivious is great help. He is also a wiki-holic, which ofcourse is a good thing for us.
[edit] Gaumii salaam
Nice work you have done on Gaumii salaam. --Oblivious 09:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The National Anthem and Wiki Formatting
Thank you Oblivious for your praise on the article I wrote on the National Anthem of the Maldives. I still feel that something is missing from it, particulary the bit about the commissioning of a new melody prior to the arrival of her majesty, the Queen. I haven't been able to make much sense out of the online research material I've read on the subject. Something about not confusing her. (It sure did me). If anybody has a less clouded opinion on it, please elaborate.
Need some help with alignment of pictures. Suppose I want to place a picture on a specific part of the page, how should I use the [[Image:Example.jpg]] instruction string? Any help regarding this matter would be duly appreciated because I have a lot of trouble with pictures.
Oh, and this one is directed towards you Oblivious. How exactly do you use this Unicode formatting for Dhivehi language? I've seen the source and frankly, even Greek makes more sense to me than that thing. Sometimes I wish I had chosen a career in computing. --Fizan

- For extended image support check Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax.
- To convert thaana into HTML unicode I use a pretty simple menthod. Assuming you have language pack installed and dreamweaver installed... First open dreamweaver then press Alt+Shift. This will turn your keyboard to thaana keyboard (to revert press Alt+Shift again). now a blank html page, in dreamweaver, type in thaan. View the source of the document and you will see HTML equivalent of characthers you typed. copy and paste it! Hope this helps. --Oblivious 15:24, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Oblivious. Got the problem with pictures licked. Now how do I handle (just like pics) templates such as these {{Babel-2|dv|en-2}}? And text too. Fizan
[edit] work pending on rufiyaa article
- Here is unicode converter for you. It will be more suitable if you post article-related stuff in it's talk page. Eg in this case its Talk:Rufiyah. And btw... {{currentdate}} does not stamp the time you posted... instead try signing your entries with --~~~~
I know {{currentdate}} displays the current time, was waiting for someone to point out the correct way (syntax?) to do it. thanks. Fizan --Fizan 12:24, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hulhumalemap.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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, please check 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. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 23:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- All the relevant info you put on my talk page needs to be added to the image description page and put that link to the source. I would use the copyright tag {{Fairuseunsure}} instead of {{PD-ineligible}} just in case. -Nv8200p talk 17:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- I've done this. --Oblivious 21:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CSD
Fizan, I was workign CSD's and saw your request for User:Fizan/Suvadive rewrite. It looks like you used this as a work place for building an article (a good thing) but that it was also contrinuted to by User:Oblivious. If you are going to use a cut and paste move on this, their edit attributations will be lost, if you are sure that this is not an issue, please remove the {{hangon}} and reply here. xaosflux Talk/CVU 06:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- I dont have a problem with that. --Oblivious 06:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Since Oblivious has no problems, please proceed to remove it.

[edit] Speedy deletion
Regarding the article Image:Dhivehinet.PNG, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "obsolete", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because images may only be speedily deleted as "obsolete" if they are smaller than the image that replaces them and in the same format. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:IFD process. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 15:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request
Hi Sam, I noticed the great job you did on the vector version of the US Presidential Seal, a task I failed miserably at. Anyway I was wondering if you'd take a look at this Image:Maldives_National_Emblem.png, and let me know if you can help create a proper SVG for it. You can find the vector file here. Thanks. --Fizan 10:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:DRPLogo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:DRPLogo.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HBO.svg

This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:HBO.svg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.
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 fair use images 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. Sandstein 18:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
