Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Preston Girls' Secondary College article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. - Lucky 6.9 06:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Copyright violations
[edit]I cannot stress this highly enough: Insistence on reposting text from other sources is against copyright law and viewed as vandalism. Please do not continue to do so. Thank you. - Lucky 6.9 06:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice work
[edit]Hey Semitic87,
Good job, I'm big fan of those singers you edited, specially Fadl Shaker and Kathem. But I think we should add more information, all I see is the info boxes.
Thats gr8 then ! Actually I am doing some research and I should translate them into english, which i could face some diffucilities. But anyway, we need to co-oprate to make the page usefull and meaningfull. Thanks SeMiTiC
Could you please add the source and fair use rationale to this image. It would also be helpful if you could find a free license image. ← ANAS Talk? 13:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the words of Ibn Qayim
[edit]Ahlan wa sahlan. We have a discussion regarding the correct translation and the actual meaning of something written by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. We might need an opinion from some native arabic speakers in order to reach consensus. If this caught your interest, feel free to join our discussion at Talk:Hadith of Sabra reporting on the prohibition of Mut'ah. Thank you. Hamid-Masri 11:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Fadhel shaker.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fadhel shaker.jpg. 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. 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 08:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Libyan placenames
[edit]I'm working on a standard (and official) system to transliterate (and retrotransliterate) Arabic script into my native language (applyable also for Spanish and Portuguese with some changes) and I'm nowadays trying to apply it in toponimic names for a publication, so I've chosen Libyan names first. The system has already been published and can be seen here, section 5.2. I've seen some inconsistencies in the name (transliteration) of some shabiyas of Libya (some articles give one transcription, some others give one different) in the articles of Wikipedia and its sources (mainly articles Districts of Libya and List of FIPS region codes (J-L)#LY: Libya, and sources for ISO 3166-2:LY here and here and statoids.com; if needed I can provide the differences in sources leading to confusion), and ask for help from a native speaker of Arabic to clear some doubts. Can you help me?
Problems are mainly concerning the unmarked harakaat for long vowels in the Standard Arabic version of the placename, and are the following:
| 1 | الجفارة | 'al-jifaaraº | 'al-jafaaraº | vowel of first syllable after article (or none?) | Al Jfara |
| 2 | النقاط الخمس | 'al-nuqaat. 'al-Hams | 'al-niqaat. 'al-Hams | vowel of first syllable after article | An Nuqat al Khams |
| 3 | سرت | sirt | surt | vowel of first syllable | Surt |
| 4 | ترهونة و مسلاته | msalaataº | masallaataº | vowel of first syllable (of third word) | Tarhuna Wa Msalata |
| 5 | المرقب | 'al-murqub | 'al-marqab | vowel of first and second syllables | Al Murgub |
| 6 | مرزق | murSuq | marSuq / murSaq | vowel of first and second syllables | Murzuq |
| 7 | يفرن | yafran | yifrin | vowel of first and second syllables | Yafran |
| 8 | غريان | Rarii'aan | Rarii'aan / Rariyaan / Raryaan | vowels of second and third syllables | Gharyan |
| 9 | سوفاجين | sawfaajjiin | sawfajjiin | length of vowel for consonant "f" | Sawfajjin |
| 10 | زلتان | Slitan | Slitaan | length of vowel for consonant "t" | Zlitan |
| 11 | القبة | 'al-qubaº | 'al-qubbaº | gemination (shadda) of "b" or not? | Al Qubah |
| 12 | الواحات | 'al-waaKhaaº | 'al-waaKhaat | last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah? | Al Wahat |
| 13 | مرادة | marad | maradah | structure of third syllable: ta marbutah? | Maradah |
| 14 | مصراتة | mis.(u)raatah | mus.(u)raatah | vowel of first syllable after article and last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah? | Misratah |
I am committed to upload the publication of the final article, if released, the same way I did with the previous one. Please check in my talk page if this is already answered.
