User talk:Bmjmureithi

Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Bmjmureithi! Thanks for the contribution over on the Kenya article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and Assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Bmjmureithi, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 17:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove tags

Hi Bmjmureithi, please do not remove the tags/categories in double brackets without reason - they serve to categorize articles and to find them. Thanks --Ioannes Pragensis 07:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Bmj theatre 002.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bmj theatre 002.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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.

Kenya Empowerment Newspaper

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Kenya Empowerment Newspaper, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image copyright problem with Image:DSC 2483.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:DSC 2483.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 18:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a copyright tag. BMJ Mureithi

March 2008

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Ben Muriithi. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Ben Muriithi

I have nominated Ben Muriithi, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Muriithi. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Carbuncle,

I wish to draw your attention to the fact that in Kenya, where I come from, we share very many common names. It is therefore ill advised to assume that because there are similarities in my names and those of Ben or BMJ Muriithi, then we are one and the same. Just like in India where everyone is either Shah or Patel, so is Kenya. I therefore request you not to delete the article on that account. Please let me know if you need any more information. God bless you. BMJ Mureithi.

Legal threats

Wikipedia does not allow the participation of users that use legal threats. Please see WP:LEGAL. Unless you retract the claims made here and here, you will be blocked until the legal issues are settled one way or the other. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove other users' comments as you did here. Thank you. --jonny-m t 00:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions other peoples comments, you will be blocked from editing. _(1 == 2)^Until 01:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We apologize

We were only trying to retract a threatening statement as advised by Stephan Schulz above. No ill intentions. If that is not the way to do a retraction, please show us the way. Thankyou for the advice anyway. (Bmjmureithi (talk) 16:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Your recent edits

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) 14:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have noted the advice. Thankyou. (Bmjmureithi (talk) 16:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Clarification request

Are you one person, or are you a group of people? Wikipedia does not allow group accounts; if you are a group of people, you will each need an individual user name. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answer to Fisherqueen

We are a Kenyan lobby group using bmjmureithi's account as a single entity. We don't see anything wrong with that. We also wish to clarify that Kenyans share very many common names (just like Patels and Shahs of India) and anyone who concludes that Ben Muriithi, bmjmureithi, BMJ Muriithi, BMJ mureithi or any other Muriithi are one and the same is wrong and should do some home work before jumping into conclusions. Thankyou and Good day (Bmjmureithi (talk) 16:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Whatever you think, Wikipedia forbids the sharing of accounts for a number of reasons, including accountability and copyright issues. For a shared account, it is not clear who edits and who releases added contend under the GFDL. Hence the required proper attribution (normally implicit via the edit history) cannot be made. Also see WP:ROLE. There is no reason why you should not use multiple accounts - they are free. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 16:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikipedia does not permit group accounts, I told you about that rule, so that you could create separate accounts for yourselves. Because you have chosen not to create separate accounts, and because Wikipedia does not permit group accounts, I've had to block this account. If you wish to create separate accounts for yourselves, there will be instructions in the block template. That way, those users in your group who are not editing disruptively will still be able to edit, while those who are editing disruptively can be blocked as individuals. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Fisherqueen

It appears as though you have blocked all activities from my IP address. I am therefore unable to open another account. Please help.

RE: Your comment on my talk page

I don't appreciate the veiled legal threat that you made on my talk page. Not only is it blatantly against Wikipedia policy, but it is wholly not necessary in this instance. My only comments on this article were A) the need for the references listed at the end of the article to be used within the article - inline citations - and B) a general comment that after reviewing the article, I don't necessarily see the notability, but that I had no strong objection to the article. In the future, if you would like to have others work well with you, I would suggest that you take a few moments to review WP:CIVIL and approach fellow editors more along the lines of that policy. Thanks. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 16:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"I advise you to avoid what would appear to be discrimination as it will not augur well for Wikipedia in the days to come" That comment most certainly reads like a threat to me, sir. Also, please do not continue to create a new thread on my talk page each time that you respond to something that I may leave here. Please keep your response(s) in the already established thread. Thanks. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 16:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because this account is a group account.

This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

November 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Kenya. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Michellecrisp (talk) 00:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking

I got your message, and your contribution history seems consistent with your claim that you allowed others to use your account and have stopped now that you realize it's against the rules. I'm unblocking because you seem to have been a useful editor before the disruptive incidents of mid-March. Good luck, and welcome back. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kenya

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kenya. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Michellecrisp (talk) 01:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Najib Balala.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Najib Balala.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Bmjmureithi! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 35 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Packson Ngugi - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Njeri Luseno - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 06:04, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2011

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Piers Morgan. Thank you. Reliable sources are required for edits of this nature. Rodhull andemu 19:01, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of KSN (Kenya Satellite Network)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on KSN (Kenya Satellite Network) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Brianhe (talk) 15:10, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:BMJ Muriithi DSC 2483.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Mbeere north divions.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mbeere north divions.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 07:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
