Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your user subpage at User:Nayrouz Aly/American Literature, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. After you look over that guideline, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.

There are several options available for resolving this matter:

• If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it.
• If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.

Unfortunately it is against Wikipedia guidelines to keep copies of articles in your user space (see the articles you have created here, and the guidelines here). If you have any questions, let me know. Gump Stump (talk) 19:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry for that but I really did not mean to assume myself the editor of these articels; It was just a way proposed to me by someone to help me in translating the articles from English to Arabic. I will stop doing that starting from this moment and sorry again. I am a new user and did not know about the discussion page even! Thanks for your concern... ````

Hi Nayrouz Aly. That's okay! If you are working on one version of an article, there are a couple of options that would be better:

1. You can link to it from your user page. For example, if you go to an article page, such as Cat, then click "View history", you see this page; if you click on one of the time and dates, such as the one that says "17:44, November 1, 2009", you see this page, which is what the article looked like at that time and date. That page will not change (it is an archived version). If you make a link to that page from your user page, you can always go back to the version you are trying to translate, and copy things from it (click "Edit" while on that page to copy the text and formatting, but DO NOT save the old version of the page). Then you can work with the article without the page changing over time.

2. You can click "Edit", copy all of the text and formatting on the page, and save it on your computer for translating.

Thank you for your contributions! Also, if you want to put your signature after something you wrote, you write four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Let me know if you have any more questions, Gump Stump (talk) 22:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Nayrouz Aly, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot alerting you that Non-free images are not allowed in the user or talk-space. I removed some images that I found on User:Nayrouz Aly/Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use images to your user-space drafts or your talk page. See a log of images removed today here, shutoff the bot here and report errors here.
