Thanks for uploading File:Foad-2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 18:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your emails! Actually, Wikipedia doesn't work with emails very much. The usual way to exchange messages with other Wikipedians is to post them on "talk pages" - see the talk page guidelines.
I have moved your user page to Foad Rafii. You could have done it, following the instructions at Moving a page, but I thought it safer for me to do this one because this talk page needs to stay where it is - it is your talk page, not the article talk page.
With only one reference to news coverage on this person, I'm not sure that the article passes the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (people). There are several awards listed in the info box that do have have references - did any of these generate press coverage? -- John of Reading ( talk) 08:10, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Foad-2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

{{ help me}} i have couple of questions about the proscedure of uploading and legality of the photos that i want to upload to an article. i am confused how everything works properly. the article is about the architect, Mr. Foad Rafii and the additional photos that i want to upload are about his style of design and are taken by: 1- himself 2- one of his emploees 3- a paid professional photographer in order to be used for pamphlets, advertising, their website and office needs, etc. Mr. rafii is comfortable about using these photos on his page but wanted to make sure the procedure is legal. He is willing to send wikipedia an email; confirming the source of these photos. My question; can i use these photos? is his confirmation through email enough for all 3 cases to make the photos legal to be used? And if yes, then what is the wikipedia email address that he can send his confirmation to
So:{{ helpme}} please!!! there is a mirroring site here http://wikien4.appspot.com/wiki/Foad_Rafii that mirrors the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foad_Rafii with a strange spelling! Can anybody do anything about this? they are also using the wikipedia logo. Appreciate your help. pishoo ( talk) 18:20, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank a lot jac for the fast reply and the information! pishoo ( talk) 19:27, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much sowhy! i will look into the links you told me about. pishoo ( talk) 19:33, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
cpied and pasted from his talk page: Foad Rafii pictures(I've broken this off into a new section)
john!, me again! i have couple of photos from different projects which were mentioned on Foad Rafii wikipedia article. those photos are taken by Mr. Rafii himself and some of them by one of his employee at his office. They have no problem with those photos to be uploaded on the page. i have checked the page about uploading files from someone else.To upload, the areas below should be filled and it is asking for some clarifications as follows, and i am not sure how to answer them.
|Description = |Source = |Date = 19:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC) |Author = |Permission = |other_versions =
As for Description; i will get the information about subject of the photo which is a building and will write it- for source; i am not sure what exactly should be clarified in here - for date; day and month is approximate but year is for sure- As for author; i think it means the name of the photographer, right?- for permission; they have no problem for their work to be uploaded but what do i say here to confirm that?- and as for other version; again i am not sure what it exactly means here. pishoo ( talk) 19:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
|Description = The Xyz Building, Vancouver, viewed from the south west |Source = By email to me from Mr Foad Rafii, the photographer OR the copyright holder (depending) |Date = 19:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC) |Author = Foad Rafii architects |Permission = To be confirmed by email to OTRS |other_versions = leave blank unless you are also uploading other versions of the same picture, eg a cropped version
John, thank you so very much for your feedback, thoughts, advices and thorough instruction as usual! You definitely are a very dedicated, overworked volunteer. You got back to me although it was so late at night. Your point of view about photos of buildings in article is totally valid however I was trying to keep consistency in the layout by following a repeated pattern through looking into the articles about architects in Wikipedia and looked at couple of famous ones known to me like - Moshe Safdie & Arthur Erickson- and some Iranian ones like Hossein Amanat - Fariborz Sahba & farshid Mousavi and noticed all of them had couple of work samples (photos) which would show their style of design. I have compared these articles with those with no photos in them and sure the ones with photos were more expresive of who those people were and the articles were more animated and less boaring. So, that is why I am trying to upload some photos of the designs. I will folow your adivices and see how far I can go! One more compliment john; i am a very non technical person who never reads manuals and instructions but could folow your instructions sucssesfully!!! ;) pishoo ( talk) 18:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
You are the best!! :))))))) Thank you!!!!! However i have no idea what wiki markup is!!! :(
Huh!!! :) thank youuuu!!!! why i never thought about that!!!! :) pishoo ( talk) 02:11, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
{{ helpme}} please! regarding OTRS email address.... Does anybody know how i can contact OTRS? i need the email address to OTRS in order to be able to forward the photo owner's permission towards some uploded photos on a wiki site. Thank you! pishoo ( talk) 18:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks!!! I appreciate your help! pishoo ( talk) 19:20, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited List of soft drinks by country, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lime and Mint ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
