Great work! Maybe write on Amna Suraka Museum next?

If you're around Slemani, we also lack an article on Amna Suraka Museum , if you would like to tackle that topic.

I emphasize though, you need to use more outside citations, like news media, international organizations, etc. to prove facts about the museum, not just quote the museum itself. And we do not need hours, prices, etc since this is an article for the ages, not a tour guide for this week.

If you are able to write about the Amna Suraka Museum, and perhaps provide a photo, that would be a great addition to both our coverage of Kurdistan and our coverage of museums! Nice work! MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:06, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi - ancient.eu doesn't meet our criteria at WP:RS and WP:VERIFY. And of course if you have any connection with it, adding it is a conflict of interest. As a new editor I wouldn't expect you to know any of this. Doug Weller (talk) 18:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I undid your addition of an image to this article. It was a nice image but it had no relevance to Mandarin Chinese, or Chinese language in general.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 11:07, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017

Hi. I can see from the information on your profile that you work in the academia. this is probably your profile.

I am looking for expert active wikimedia users with academic background and some bibliometric record (so I can prepare their wikidata items) to work as jurors for the next Wiki Science Competition. We still miss volunteers from countries without a national jury, like Malaysia. You would represent with nationality and workplace some countries that we miss. Plus, we only have one juror is a doctor, but noone in the second-level jury.

Would you be interested to join?

The jurors are not supposed to be all wikimedians, but we wish to promote the use of the images on the platforms and show that there is a continuum between the wiki-world and the academia. At the same time, I want all the jurors to show they are involved in the peer-reviewed process, so the uploaders can see they are students and researchers like them.

You might get visibility in exchange (the site will receive thousands of visits).

Let me know. The event starts on 01/11/2017 or maybe two weeks later. We can define the last details of the jury during the month of November, but we'd like to be almost ready in two weeks, in order to provide the challengers with a rough idea of the composition of the juries.

In any case, we can contact you next time if you are still interested but you can't join this time.

Also if you can spread the news around in your working environment, that would be great!

d:Q42297641 this is your item, I will refine later, it is far from being complete. We will link it from the jury page. I am sorry I have found you so late, maybe we will discuss to enlarge the final jury even more and promote someone, but I enlist you as second-level juror.--Alexmar983 (talk) 09:46, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!It is [remove just in case :)]. I will correct some of the information you have used to fill in that page of mine. Regards. Osama

Assyrian pics

Hello, looks like you have taken a lot pictures related to the Assyrian empire. Do you happen to have one suited for Resettlement policy of the Neo-Assyrian Empire or State communications in the Neo-Assyrian Empire? If you have one of a royal seal (typically round like a coin, with a picture of the king standing next to a rampant lion, similar to ones shown here), that might be useful as well. Thanks!

Photographs of wax works

Hello Neuroforever. You have been adding photographs of wax statues. Please see Derivative work; while you have surrendered your copyright for the photos, there is no indication that the owners of the copyrights on the statues (the creators or their assignees) have given up their copyrights. I suggest you bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights. Best wishes, Kablammo (talk) 01:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Kablammo, and thanks for the message! I have just photographed the wax statues/sculptors and I have already mentioned that the name of the sculptor was not mentioned; wax museums don't mention the name of the persons, who have made the statues, within the description beside the statues. There were no modifications or transformations in my images. I'm not sure whether this would be coined by the term "derivative work" or not? Please advise? Warmest regards Neuroforever (talk) 08:35, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

The point is that copyright belongs to the creator of a work, or their employer (depending on the terms of their employment contract), whether or not they are named by the museum. Copyright generally (in the United States) remains in force until 70 years after the creator has died, or 100 years from creation for a corporate product. A general principle in Wikipedia is that a work created or published in 1923 or later is assumed to still be under copyright until it is proven that the work has passed into the public domain. Copyright works may be used in Wikipedia if it has been proved that the work has been released under an appropriate free license. - Donald Albury 15:22, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm very grateful for this explanation! As you (may) know, I'm a neurologist and an associate professor, and yes I was an editor-in-chief and a guest editor, but my field is distant from this subject of photography. I live in Iraq and I have photographed a vast number of objects in Museums around the World, and I have uploaded quite a few numbers here in Wikipedia and Wikimedia. These images have helped many authors (books and articles) around the World because of their CC BY-SA-40.0 license. Therefore, the last thing to do is to intersect with copyright issues. Many of my images mention that the name of the sculptor/creator was not mentioned or I have mentioned his/her name clearly, including the year of their work's creation (if available). Please, I would be grateful if you may kindly advise me on what to do with respect to this subject in the future when I upload images? Warmest regards. Neuroforever (talk) 17:38, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@Kablammo and Donald Albury: Since there seems to be some misconception here. This isn't black and white as you make it out to be. It depends entirely on where the photo was taken. Every country has various levels of freedom of panorama associated with them. For example, the wax figures at Madame Tussauds in London can be photographed freely and posted here provided the photographer releases the photos under a free license. c:COM:FOP#United Kingdom has a very permissible FoP standard for three-dimensional works. If those same photos were taken in Iraq they would not be acceptable. --Majora (talk) 00:01, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Adding images of coins

Please take your concerns to the talk page of the articles or something instead of adding irrelevant images to several articles, thanks. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:15, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran: Excellent, your feedback has become clearer. Volunteerism is the backbone of Wiki. Each and every contribution (excluding vandalism of course) is appreciable. Volunteerism encompasses time, efforts, and many times spending money. However, not every contributor is a full-scale expert when he/she contributes to this or that page. Fruitful feedback or comment from an expert would always be encouraging and educating, rectifying an unintentional drift. I'm not an expert in IT language, history, archaeology, etc. (I'm a professor of neurology), but I always try my best to help out others with my free, high-quality, and up-to-date images of artifacts or places that are not easily inaccessible to the rest of the World, say from Mesopotamia (Iraq). These images have helped quite a few people, scholars, TV documentaries, galleries, and exhibitions, etc. All are free. I have noticed that many comments/feedback here in Wikipedia are some derogatory if not insulting, frankly. When people read these comments, especially if directed towards contributors who have no alias (or username, to hide their real-life identity), their reaction and thoughts are, many times, negative. I don't think phrasing a neutral sentence would be difficult. I'm sure you are experienced with this matter and you have acted for the best of interest of that page, in order to be as perfect and credible as possible. I have asked 5 people to give me their opinion about my coins' images and their pertinent pages edition, in one word. The reply was: spamming, spammer, vandalism, inefficiency, illiteracy. You see, I appear counterproductive. I'm not feeling offended, but I would rephrase your comment (Please take your concerns to the talk page of the articles or something instead of adding irrelevant images to several articles, thanks.): "Thank you for contribution and your high-quality images, but I believe that your images have not conveyed any new information to the readership and they have occupied an extra space. In addition, the images already present in those pages are more clear as they have been photographed in studios and are photoshopped. Therefore, I have reverted your edits." By the way, I believe "even worse" refers to the coin's condition. These coins are never-before-seen and have been displayed for the very first time in June 2019 in the Sulaymaniyah Museum, Iraq. They did not undergo much restoration/cleaning. They are a somewhat in dim case, flat on the base; very difficult to photograph! Wish you all the very best and good luck!

Thank you so much for your images Neuroforever, they are fantastic! Let me try another request, since you seem to have many excellent images from the British Museum: I am looking for a photograph of this votive inscription by A'anepada... it is located in Room 56 Display case 6, next to the following objects: . Do you have it by any chance?

And one more maybe... would you have the macehead of Shar-Kali-Sharri in the Akkadian display case ? (I am ashamed I only have this one: , besides century-old black and white images)

And last but not least, since you have access to the National Museum of Irak: do you have a good picture of this guy (although I am afraid he disappeared in the lootings...)

Thank you so much again, and best regards (it seems Corona has a lot to do with Neurology, so I hope I am not taking too much of your time, and take care!) पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Would you by any chance have a photograph of the inscription on the copper vase of Utu-hengal: (British Museum, room 56 display case 9 ).

Would have better images of the artifacts of king Nam-mahani (same display case as Utu-hengal in the British Museum):

Would you have a better image of the macehead of Shu-turul in the Akkadian display case . Best regards! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 07:49, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Dear Neuroforever, would you also have a better version of this plaque in this display case at the British Museum ? Best regards पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 05:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I have uploaded almost all of the above, except the macehead of Shu-turul, statue of Meannesi (son of Enannatum), and the statue of Meskigal (do u have images of them?). For Shar-Kali-Sharri, I uploaded his stamp instead (very clear). I have also uploaded some Akkadian/Ur III artifacts from those cases. I will upload the Jarmo bowl in the foreseeable future.

These are wonderful images! Thank you so much Neuroforever! This one is just amazing !!!! I thought it had disappeared in 2003... I don't have an image of Meskigal in the Iraq Museum (IM 5572, Note 12), I just read that it was in "Akkadian style" and quite similar to the Ishqi-Mari statue... For Meannesi there is this image: [9] or this one. Thank you again!पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 05:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Pythagorean theorem

I notice you just added a photograph of the tablet IM 67118 to the Babylonian mathematics article. Since Wikipedia has an article on that very tablet, would you consider adding the image to that article as well? I don't suppose you have a photograph of the reverse of the tablet also?

Your work is amazing! The image at CDLI is very poor in comparison—it's just a copy of the photograph in Baqir's original journal article. Do you work in some official capacity with the Museum or do you just take these photos as a visitor? Your IM 67118 photo is dated March 2019. Was it really taken just last year? If so, it's a relief to know that the tablet is still in the Museum's possession and proudly displayed. Will Orrick (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your note. I have just added it to the article. The way they display the tablet prevents you from taking photos of the reverse aspect. I believe this is the obverse (or the reverse?). Yes, the CDLI's image belongs to professor Bakir (RIP), a scanned one. Mine was shot during my visit to the Iraq Museum in March 2019. Within a short 2-hour visit, I shot 1000s of high-quality images, rapidly. I'm just a fan of photography and I love Mesopotamia. That's it! Thank you. Regards.

Dear Osama! So nice to hear the good news on Twitter! Stay safe! Thank you again for the wonderful photographs! As we say, it's "free knowledge for the world"... I like to think all our volunteer work is our gift to generations of students who will rarely have access to specialized books or will not be able to travel around the world to see all those amazing works of art! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 05:27, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I have not meant a financial reward, no. A moral encouragement and accreditation; this would boost contributors to give more and more. This is the core concept of volunteerism. Another point please, I don't know if you hold some specific post or position in Wiki, but I suggest telling Wiki that if someone thinks that this or that edit or a contribution (made by a well-known contributor; not an IP) is not helpful, the way of telling the feedback or doing the reversal should be "polite and productive". After all, this is to make things better. Using sharp, mockery, or derogatory phrases are not only counterproductive but also makes people reluctant to contribute. Keep up the good work! Thank you.

Another typical Wikipedia encouragement!! :)

	Emerit photographer Gem-finder of oriental archaeology Promoter of world history Indefatiguable Covid-fighting neurologist
	I am honoured to award to you the Order of Ashurbanipal, consisting in four rotating barnstars, for your outstanding contributions to Wikipedia. Each and every one of your photographs is an invaluable contribution to knowledge. Thank you! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I totally understand your comment about the rudeness of some contributors. Wikipedia is an exercise in humility: you are never protected from a complete cultural jerk challenging your contributions. You are never shielded from the abuse of some foul-mouthed otaku or nationalist. But in the end, it does not really matter, it is the characteristic of the internet, being open to anyone, from anywhere, of any age group and from any cultural background. Nobody really cares about rude language or attitudes, you just have to stay above the fray, and disengage when it turns unpleasant. What defines us is not the abuse we are submitted to, but the way we respond (or don't respond!) to it. What is important is that, thanks to the openness of this system, we can indeed contribute to the knowledge of the world, probably better and with more efficiency than any other system available. We are lucky to have contributors like you on Wikipedia. Best regards! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Would you by any chance have a better version of this relief , this relief , this relief and this relief in the British Museum? And would have the full relief this detail is taken from? पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 13:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your nice words and encouragement. Always appreciated. I have uploaded these: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ashurnasirpal_II,_2_royal_attendants,_and_2_apkallus,_wall_relief_from_Nimrud,_Iraq._9th_century_BCE._British_Museum.jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Babylonian_prisoners_in_an_Assyrian_camp,_reign_of_Ashurbanipal_II,_668-630_BCE._From_the_North_Palace_at_Nineveh,_Iraq._British_Museum.jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Babylonian_prisoners_in_an_Assyrian_camp,_reign_of_Ashurbanipal_II,_668-630_BCE._From_the_North_Palace_at_Nineveh,_Iraq._British_Museum,_London.jpg. The relief of Ashurnasirpal II is the full view. The Babylonian prisoners one, I had shot 2 sperate images because the light reflection was very prominent, as in your picture. I have visited the British Museum several times. The rest are not on display and appear to be displayed with the special exhibition of Ashurbanipal II; I did not attend that exhibition because I thought photography is prohibited, as in all other exhibitions, but surprisingly, people shot many pics and I missed it! Apologies. Keep up the good work. Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 17:58, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! The "I am Ashurbanipal" exhibit was apparently quite amazing... पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 20:24, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Vase of Pepi I

Dear Osama, I saw your wonderful picture of a large calcite vase of Pepi I from the Neues Museum. I think it is a great addition to the article on Pepi. As I am currently working toward making this article FA, I need a reference of some kind for the picture. Do you know of a book, journal article or website which mentions this vase ? Thanks for your help !Iry-Hor (talk) 12:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. No, unfortunately. I have no source. My only source was the Neues Museum itself; the description beside the vase and their website. Thank you. Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 17:22, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Alright thanks ! Iry-Hor (talk) 17:48, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Barda Balka

Hi Neuroforever, I saw that you recently added images to Barda Balka, and that in general you add a lot of images on archaeological sites in Iraq (great work, by the way!). I was wondering whether you know the coordinates for the site? (and maybe some others as well?) Best, Zoeperkoe (talk) 14:49, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you! I will try to specify this Barda Balka coordinates. But, I don't know how to add such a thing on/to the image. Regards. Osama Neuroforever (talk) 20:14, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

I can help you there. If you have coordinates, I can add them to the relevant places in Wikipedia/Wikidata and so forth. Let me know! Zoeperkoe (talk) 05:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey Neurforever, nice little article you got there! I tagged it because there is room for some improvement. The subject is indded of note but there are more sources you can use online to expand it. Consider also linking it somehow to the Erbil citadel article so it doesn't remain an orphan :( Happy editing!

@Elias Ziade: Hi. Thank you for reviewing the article of Kurdistan Music Archive. The article had been already linked (e.g., via Erbil Citadel). I fluently speak Arabic, English, and Kurdish; apart from the source mentioned in the article, I could not find any other ones, in any language. Having said so, I doubt if your message is bot-generated? Please re-check, and if you find any source or article about this archive, I would be more than grateful if you may kindly tell me about it.

Deletion discussion about Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes

Hello, Neuroforever, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Elias Ziade, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Elias Ziade}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

el.ziade (talkallam) 18:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

@Elias Ziade: Hi. It should be deleted because of "borderline notability and few reliable sources?" The Citadel of Erbil houses many small museums and permanent exhibitions. My intention was to include these displays to render the image of the Citadel more complete to the readership; for example, the article of the Citadel did not mention these places within the Citadel and I added them, started by creating the pertinent articles one after another. The articles should be small, as the museums/exhibitions are small and many are relatively new. I've created 4 so far. That's it. Let's take this example of the Kurdish Textile Museum within the Citadel. I have no comment on it but the Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes seems much much better, in comparison. Nominate it for deletion? I have come across 10s and may be 100s of Wiki articles that are similar to the Textile Museum's one (very abbreviated with no sources). Therefore, they should be deleted, as well. I will not discuss this on the deletion page of the Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes. You can delete it now, and delete the other pertinent ones; Erbil Stones and Gems Museum, Turkmen Heritage House, and Kurdistan Music Archive. By the way, the references you added to the latter were duplicate (2-4) and the 5th one was entirely unrelated to the article, but I did not wanted to "..." you. I don't know how to delete the remaining 3; either you do it (I would be grateful) or else I will try to find someone more experienced on Wiki to delete them (they all share the same criteria of borderline notability and few reliable sources I believe). I will not contribute more. Thank you, and all the very best. Neuroforever (talk) 18:51, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Deletion

Hi @पाटलिपुत्र:. I have created 3 pages/articles on wiki recently, and these are Erbil Stones and Gems Museum, Turkmen Heritage House, and Kurdistan Music Archive. It seems that they are of "borderline notability and few reliable sources". Can you please delete them as soon as possible? Thank you. Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 19:00, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Neuroforever! These are valuable articles, and thank you for creating them! I am quite confident that other users will vote for Keep if the articles are challenged, so let's just wait and see how it plays out! Best regards पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 19:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you @पाटलिपुत्र:. Please and please, I would be most grateful if you may kindly delete them as soon as possible. Please. Thank you. Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 19:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Neuroforever. I do not have the capability to delete articles. Maybe you would have to ask to an Administrator, but I am not even sure an Administator would delete without due process... Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 20:11, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot @पाटलिपुत्र: Please, I would be grateful if you ask an administrator to delete these 3 articles. The other one (Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes) will be deleted soon by @Elias Ziade:. I suggest that an additional one, Kurdish Textile Museum, is to be deleted as well; just look at it and compare with the Exhibition of Miniature of Kurdistan Costumes, as it lacks information and sources (while it has been there for about 10 years in the Citadel of Erbil; the others are relatively new and there is/was no media overage. I appreciate your help. Please help me delete them as soon as possible; I don't want anyone of my last 4 articles to be there. Thank you. Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 13:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

If you wish to delete an article you started, you can do so by pasting the following template {{Db-author}} at the top of the page. el.ziade (talkallam) 14:45, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Elias Ziade: No, you delete them. I will not. I think they are great (including the page you intend to delete for some reason or another) in spite of their short history and the no one cared about creating such pages of these small museums (with images). If you don't delete all of them, including the very defective Kurdish Textile Museum one, it means that you have a specific intention against something unrelated to the page itself. I will not correspond further and I will not contribute to Wikipedia/Wikimedia anymore. After all these years, I have encountered several underestimating, derogatory, and intimidating acts but I said its OK. Eventually, I feel it was just a waste of time, effort, and money of course. Neuroforever (talk) 10:08, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
