Re: speedy deletion of Grema Terab page

Hi Beth Naught thank you for visiting the Grema Terab page and for the suggestion. It took me quite a while to figure out how to send this message and Im still not sure if you will receive it. I am the rightful owner of the picture andw riter of the bio posted on his wikipedia page as well as on www.bosema.gov.ng. I am going to try and figure out the instructions you provided in proving ownership of written material. I already have a creative commons licence for the picture. Please dont delete the page. Give me an opportunity to prove ownership. Thank you. Ammeerah (talk) 22:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ammeerah: The best advice you need is at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The article has already been deleted but if you follow the steps given in that page you should be able to recreate it. Note however that you must write with a neutral point of view and provide reliable, independent sources for everything you write. You will need to make significant edits to your text as it stands. For more information see WP:BLP. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 22:06, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accidental revert

Sorry for reverting your revert on the WTC conspiracy theories, by the time I figured out what was going on you'd got in and done it

Parameswara (king)

On the Parameswara page, there is a section titled "conversion to Islam" and it cites a source (a weak one though). Nonetheless there is no source citing that he was Hindu at all. So, what is the logic behind changing it back to Hinduism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesunneversets (talk • contribs) 20:00, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thesunneversets: To be honest, that was my mistake. I was a little quick to revert when you changed a contentious field without explaining yourself. Besides, my reading of that section is that he was at first Hindu, and then only maybe changed late in life? Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience. I will make an edit reflecting his convertion.
