I just came to check in and see if you're doing fine on Wikipedia. If you need any help, just ask me! Pinkstrawberry02™^talk 01:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I think I am doing pretty well. Currently working on a new article in my sandbox so I hope to have it ready in a couple weeks and get some feedback before it goes up live. I appreciate your courtesy. [[User:DanSCohen|DanSCohen 10:12, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Wealth Distribution.pdf

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Wealth Distribution.pdf. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

Hey, Danny! Your article on the female labor force rate is looking really great! I wonder if you might want to consider changing the name of the article, as it might be a bit of a mouthful for a Wikipedia article. I'm not sure what you think a better alternative is; perhaps "Female labor force in the Muslim world"? You will know better than I do, but just thought I'd make the suggestion. Also, don't forget to only capitalize the first word and any proper nouns, as is the practice on Wikipedia. Hope that helps! Oh, and if you need help moving a page to a new name, just click on the arrow to the right of the "View history" tab, and select "Move". That will keep the history and talk page all together! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 22:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice! You are definitely right. The original name was too bulky and I liked your suggestion so now the page is called "Female labor force in the Muslim world." Do you have any other advice? Is the content and tone appropriate? Should I add more critical opinions about these metrics? Any other help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! DanSCohen (WMF) (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Danny! Sorry I missed your response (I forgot to add your talk page to my watchlist). I just glanced through your article (which it looks like you're still editing), and my main suggestion might be to try and break the sections into smaller paragraphs (and even subsections), in order to make the article more accessible to readers. One tactic I find really useful (and you may, too) is to find a good article on Wikipedia and compare layouts to see what you think looks best, as a reader, so you can try to format your own articles in a similar way. A second glance tells me you may want to include more 'wikilinks' (links to other articles on Wikipedia that are relevant to getting a thorough understanding of this one), but editing Wikipedia is such an iterative process, that it's not necessarily a priority. Just something to think about—hope this helps! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 23:39, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just edited the sections to break them up a bit and added subheadings. What do you think? Still too bulky? Thanks for all of the advice! I also added more wikilinks by the way. DanSCohen (WMF) (talk)

File permission problem with File:A group of women farming.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:A group of women farming.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2013/apr/03/aid-rich-countries-falls-oecd. 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 created 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 {{OTRS 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 18:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Estimated Earned Annual Income of Women in Certain Muslim Nations.pdf

A tag has been placed on File:Estimated Earned Annual Income of Women in Certain Muslim Nations.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

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 "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.

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.
