Image copyright problem with Image:Bible Greek Vamvas Jehovah.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Bible Greek Vamvas Jehovah.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rory096(block) 21:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Bible Greek Vamvas Jehovah.JPG
[edit]![]() |
This media may be deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Bible Greek Vamvas Jehovah.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. Rory096(block) 21:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:World map pol 2005 v02 GRK.svg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:World map pol 2005 v02 GRK.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Article to be deleted
[edit]HELP. This article to be deleted in id.wiki. Can you help me to SAY KEEP in its Talk page, in Indonesia Wikipedia. I don't know why they don't appreciate Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, and Assembly. Thanks for your support. Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 09:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Jehovah's Witnesses lead section and infobox
[edit]Your edits to the intro of the Jehovah's Witnesses]] article are, as already explained, unacceptable given the lengthy discussion about the content and the eventual agreement. Here are some points to consider:
(1) Jesus Christ is no more the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses that he is of Mormonism (founder: Joseph Smith), Christian Science (founder: Mary Baker Eddy) or Seventh Day Adventism (founders: Joseph Bates, James White, Ellen G. White, etc). Each religion began with someone’s teaching ... though it's possible that within each religion there are people who also claim that Jesus moved these individuals to start their interpretations. At each article, however, the foounder is named, without Christ's name being mentioned. Without C. T. Russell, Jehovah’s Witnesses would not exist today. The point of the encyclopedia article is to identify the person who began the movement and in this case it was clearly Russell.
(2) Your addition of the phrase though terms like "sect" or "cult" are "negatively connotated" ones or imply a religious "orthodoxy" is your opinion and can’t remain.
(3) Your addition of “their peaceful attitudes” into the sentence about what the characteristics and activities for which religion is most well known is also your opinion. LTSally (talk) 01:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Article Alexander Thomson nominated for deletion
[edit]Article Alexander Thomson nominated for deletion
If you're familiar with the range of Wikipedia articles about Jehovah's Witnesses, you've likely come across the name Alexander Thomson a few times. He wasn't a Witness, but he (very) occasionally had favorable things to write about Watch Tower publications. By no means was he a shill.
Someone (see diff) has moved to delete the article about Thomson, claiming that he is not notable (is not worthy of even a brief encyclopedic article). That seems odd to me, because Thomson is listed among only twelve persons having "played a significant role in the work of the Concordant Publishing Concern", publishers of the Concordant Literal Version of the Bible. He edited and wrote much Bible commentary under his own bylines, some of which is still in print. He contributed and edited articles in Unsearchable Riches[1] (now in its 100th year). Primarily because of having had his scholarship so substantially influence a notable Bible, Thomson is himself notable.
I have no sentimental attachment to Thomson, but I believe he is notable enough to keep from deletion. Feel free to add references to improve the article, or chime at the article's Talk regarding whether or not you'd prefer Wikipedia delete its article about this Alexander Thomson.--AuthorityTam (talk) 17:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I will keep an eye on this discussion, thank you. -- pvasiliadis 20:11, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Article Tetragrammaton
[edit]The phrasing and concept "personal name of God" is somewhat anachronistic, since it does not entirely accurately represent Jewish thought of the Biblical or the Rabbinic periods -- and furthermore, in the modern period it is strongly identified with the particular ideology and theology of one specific relatively small group. For these reasons, the phrase would best be completely avoided in the overview article Tetragrammaton (though it may have a place in other articles in different contexts)... AnonMoos (talk) 02:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Furthermore, Biblical Hebrew simply did not have a "v" sound as a pronunciation of the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, period, end of story, that's all she wrote. The matter is not open to legitimate dispute among mainstream reputable scholars... AnonMoos (talk) 02:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
See the discussion at Talk:Tetragrammaton#Recent changes.
Dude, do not delete other people's comments from an article talk page, unless it's pure vandalism, or there's some other highly-specific urgent valid reason... AnonMoos (talk) 12:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Grammar
[edit]Please note the correct distinction between "since" and "although". Saying JWs prefer Jehovah "since there is no certainty" suggests that they use the name Jehovah specifically because there is ambiguity. That is not the case. They prefer the name Jehovah "although" (i.e. "despite the fact that") there is ambiguity.--Jeffro77 (talk) 13:42, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
