File permission problem with File:Friday Evening Qawali at Dargah Salim Chisti, Fatehpur Sikri, UP, India.theora.ogv

Notification Removed because uploader provided more information, See below , Now tagged for Commons Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:58, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's been some misunderstanding. I took the video myself. I added the book source because the file was tagged earlier for having no source, and I thought that by "source" they meant an external reference either to the musical idiom or to the location of its staging. I guess I am confused now about the difference between "source" and "author." In any case, I have removed the external source and replaced it with an (unequivocal) confession of the video's provenance. :) Regards, Fowler&fowler «Talk» 16:38, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

True it is unfocused, but, as I say, on the deletion discussion page, at the time I uploaded the picture, it was the only one on Wikipedia of langur mothers and infants. This will be my only reply here. Flat out of time right now. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 17:36, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed about File:Creighton Memorial Hall.jpg

Hello, Fowler&fowler!

It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:Creighton Memorial Hall.jpg. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.

If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again!Template:Z136 --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has now been fixed. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 12:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan

Hi Fowler&fowler. The Pakistan article is currently undergoing a peer review and the aim is to make it a featured article again. An extensive number of edits have taken place over the past few days in this regard to improve the article. I see that you've significantly contributed to the India article in the past and given your expertise in South Asian topics, I am sure you would have some comments to spare for this article too. If you are interested, please drop in anytime for content improvement/suggestions/comments. Thanks! Mar4d (talk) 08:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I'm a little busy right now and soon to take off on travels, but once I've settled into a routine, I'll take a look see. Thanks for the invite. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 12:36, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

K.S. Lal

Hi and Happy New Year. I was wondering if you have read the books Indian Muslims: Who are they? and Legacy of Muslim rule in India by K.S. Lal. If so, then do you consider them to be reliable and objective sources? Joyson Prabhu ^{Holla at me!} 17:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and a happy new year to you as well. I'm afraid I've never heard of KS Lal and can't speak to the reliability of his books. Thanks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 12:32, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

His works are available online, although in a Hindu nationalist website. These should make interesting reads. Just for clarification, i am not a Hindu or a right-winger.

Talkback

Hello, Fowler&fowler. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ahalya/archive1.
Message added 18:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thanks for your comments. I have replied. Please take a look. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will take a look, but let me be blunt. You are either unable to understand my posts or are affecting to not understand in order to preserve your pet formulations. The article is very poorly written. I am traveling. We are still working on the first two sentences. Either withdraw the article from FAC, work on it for six months, and resubmit, or be prepared for the long haul on FAC. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 03:48, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Ahalya failed the FAC. Please help improve the article by providing your constructive criticism at Wikipedia:Peer review/Ahalya/archive2. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Fowler&folwer may have a blunt or even an abrasive style but he is quick and accurate when analysing an article. Finally User:Redtigerxyz has met someone who can give him feedback long overdue. He has gotten away with too many poorly written "good articles". I'm glad to see Wikipedia processes work when it comes to featured articles. User:Redtigerxyz indeed brings a lot of good topics to Wikipedia but the quality is very poor. More than half of his so-called good articles need to be downgraded. Sorry, User:Redtigerxyz, you are not FA material and will not be for a very long time. Sick to GA level and find obscure topics which some people may find exotic and may throw bits of GA status your way or prepare to work a lot harder.
