Within hours, it jumped to 14th on Amazon list and 12th on Barnes & Nobles site.

He is using our nation money and time to promote his book. His personal gains should not take priorites over national interest and national time/money should not used for them. --- ابراهيم 23:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

The Criticism section needs a total rewrite. Definitely. 71.141.127.196 00:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The criticism section is extremely biased. Neutral Wikipedians are requested to rewrite that section without the heavily biased approach of the current criticism section.

I agree, the section needs a complete rewrite, but can some one at least remove some pointless paragraphs? for example the one about the very big big critic? ExE 00:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly I agree too. I have reworked a few paragraphs, but I think most is in dire need to rewording. I think the use of "blatant" such as in blatently false etc etc should be removed where ever possible. We are not here to make judgements, it is for 3rd party sources to do that. We only tell, what others tell. Thus, the language should change to something like this, example: in the view of so and so, many allegations are deemed to be false. I advise others to read the wikipedia NPOV for more information and clarification. --Waqas1987 01:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Agnipath.jpg

Image:Agnipath.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
