RE: Islam in Puerto Rico

I figure it would come to this. Anyways, the problem is that, as I stated in the edit summary. Took a look at Islam in Saudi Arabia for example. Notice any driving direction? List of mosques? This is what we call here in Misplaced Pages: Manual style. List of mosques aren't listed because Misplaced Pages isn't a list of discriminate information. It's not a used for driving directions. The article has aboundant images for an encyclopedia. I do not understand the importance? How do you know it's "important"? What makes it notable that it's important? Since you're new at Misplaced Pages, you should know there is a Wikiproject dedicated to Islam. Here is the wikilink: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Islam. You can ask them for help and bring up the issues of the article. Another thing, you haven't addressed the problems when I put up that tag before you removed it.

Administrator's noticeboard

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Syncategoremata (talk) 20:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello there. Is the article you added to Muslim world written by yourself? We cannot accept reference that are not considered suitable by the policies at this page. By inserting it yourself you are also in somewhat of a conflict of interest, no? This also presents a bit of a problem. We have no way of knowing whether you are a reliable source, or whether your work has been peer reviewed and found to be reliable; and we cannot really take your word for it easily. Please respond. S.G. _ping! 21:11, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Do you have links to reliable third party sources which acknowledge your own expertise in the subject? If so, I can open dialogue at this page for experienced users to check the validity of the document. And note I'm not complaining, I'm just following up on policy. I am sure you understand. S.G. _ping! 18:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Just to add that one of the reasons I was initially concerned about these edits was because of possible copyright issues on the paper that you uploaded. You would need to show that the file is licensed in such a way as is compatible with Misplaced Pages's requirements, by being in the public domain for example. Alternatively you could give Misplaced Pages a licence for it, but we'd need verification that you are the author and that you still have the right to license it (that you have not granted exclusive license to the journal, for example). You'd need to verify your identity through the procedure at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.

All the best. –Syncategoremata (talk) 18:45, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

HI SG: If you go to the end of teh paper you will find all the citations and sources of the census data and estimates. Also, the file is a variation of five papers (one paper per continent) that would appear shortly at the journal mentioned. The materials of the journal is available for free from the corresponding website. So no need for you to be concerned.

File copyright problem with File:IJESD2010.pdf

Thank you for uploading File:IJESD2010.pdf. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

CV

Hello. Why are you adding your curriculum vitae as a reference to various articles? Rivertorch (talk) 09:23, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

It looks as if links to pdf files of papers you authored or co-authored have become stale and that you're substituting a link to your CV. If I'm right, that doesn't seem like a very good idea. I'd suggest instead using the {{dead link}} tag pending the files' being hosted somewhere else. Or am I misreading things? I see that you've been reverted in several places, but we really should resolve this on all of the affected articles. Rivertorch (talk) 20:09, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey, the pdf versions of papers and book are available in the "vita" link I included. Check before you complain! HK

I didn't complain—I asked a question. Now I'll complain: inserting links to your CV in articles is totally inappropriate. If you want to link to the PDF files, please link to them directly. And please make sure you read the guideline on conflict of interest before you do. You can ask for advice at the relevant noticeboard if the guideline isn't clear.

Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#CV

I have initiated a related discussion at the COIN noticeboard. Please comment there if you like. (It is unnecessary to reply to this message.) Rivertorch (talk) 19:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

• Hkettani - as noted at COIN CV used as reference and external link, you now are required to comply with Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest with regard to URLs used in Misplaced Pages references to which you are an author. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Vanity publishing

Please note that Misplaced Pages does not consider self-published works as reliable sources, except where the author has clear and demonstrable expertise in the subject matter, as verified by relevant academic or similar third-party sources. Even ignoring the obvious conflict of interest issues, your work is unlikely to be seen as of use to Misplaced Pages. If you wish to promote it, you will need to do so elsewhere. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

• RPS is not a self-publishing! Promoting nothing, just expert in the field contributing to the mentioned area of my expertise. Please discuss facts, instead of deleting all contributed knowledge to the article.

Hkettani (talk) 03:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Your expertise appears to be in the field of computer science. If you wish to claim that your work meets the Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources guidelines for the material you are citing it for, you will have to demonstrate that you have an academic reputation in the relevant subject matter. And even if you do demonstrate this, there is also the matter of your flagrant breach of Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest guidelines - which you have repeatedly had drawn to your attention already. Just so there is no doubt about this, I will make it entirely clear to you that if I see you citing your work on The World Muslim Population... again without first verifying that it is acceptable as a source at the Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, and without first making your conflict of interest clear on the relevant article talk pages, and gaining consensus for its usage there, I will report you at the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, and ask that you be blocked from editing indefinitely for self-promotion, and for abuse of Misplaced Pages for personal advantage. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:05, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

• Again, please discuss facts and not try to project your opinion by threatening. You are jumping from cause to cause just to enforce your opinion. First you said self-published, and I proved to you that you are wrong. Now you say I am not expert in the field, with a 600 page book reviewed and published by a reputable international scientific publisher, your claim is refuted. Then you say conflict of interest, please identify which WP rule you refer to? A researcher citing his own reviewed and published work does not qualify as COI per WP rules. Now, may I know what motives do you have to exclude the contributed knowledge to the article? (talk) 06:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Since you clearly don't intend to conform with Misplaced Pages policy and guidelines on this matter, and since your actions are clearly to the detriment of Misplaced Pages, I shall be raising the matter at WP:ANI sometime within the next 12 hours or so (I should have gone to bed hours ago) - assuming it isn't already raised there or otherwise dealt with by someone else. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

• Hkettani - Your contributions to Misplaced Pages articles appears to be limited to posting summaries of information you wrote, placing footnotes to source material you wrote, and/or providing links to pages outside of Misplaced Pages to material you developed. You need to stop contributing to Misplaced Pages to promote your own interests. -- Jreferee (talk) 06:53, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
