Fair use rationale for Image:Openbsd.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Openbsd.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Project FMF (talk) 22:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Openbsd.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Openbsd.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ViperSnake151 Talk 20:51, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aylin Nazlıaka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican People’s Party. 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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

February 2016

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mumiy Troll, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. –Davey2010^Talk 00:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If I see you calling someone a troll again I will have you blocked quicker than you can blink, Unless you can actually prove an editor's a troll or trolling then it'd be a very wise choice not use the word at editors under any circumstances especially those where the editor like here is acting in Good Faith, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 00:22, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Shuah_Khan

Hi Arved, I'm trying to add an article on Shuah Khan. Can you help? Thanks. AbdulRahim2002 (talk) 17:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abdul Rahim, I haven't heard of Shuah Khan until know. From reading the current draft version, i think she is borderline notable, there are hundreds of kernel developers so why is she notable?.

Maybe add some publications. (At least her Thesis should be available) Good luck. Arved (talk) 09:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She is the face of linux kernel after Linus_Torvalds and Greg_Kroah-Hartman.

She has been advocating for diversity and inclusion in the kernel community. And runs various mentorship programs to bring in new developers.

You can see her contributions here.

I think she deserves recognition, especially considering she is the only women to have serious contributions in the linux kernel.

Here's a previous version which had much more details, but was removed by a reviewer since it contained information from interviews.

The problem is that most of the information we have about kernel developers comes from themselves, since very few people can understand them.

On top of that, few writers cover "non-white developers", for example Valerie Aurora who was featured in this article on 2nd number has few trivial contributions while khan is not given such coverage.

Or consider Suparna_Bhattacharya who is described on wikipedia as "known for her contributions to the Linux kernel" only has 3 contributions. AbdulRahim2002 (talk) 19:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, these are claims, but if you can't name sources that claim this, they are most likely just your personal perception or local bias.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/graphs/contributors doesn't list her as a top contributor.

I don't think there is a particular non-white bias regarding software developers, as you yourself just pointed to another Indian developer (whose notability is indeed questionable).

It is just there are no particular notability criteria for OpenSource developers, so the bar is quite high for non-academic developers. Arved (talk) 07:44, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Development on the Linux Kernel doesn't happen on Github. It happens on Linux Kernel Mailing List. What you are looking at are commits, which is not accurate, since changes in Kernel are sent as patches. Many kernel developers don't even have Github. It's not liked much to be honest. Git was developed by kernel developers and Github is just lucrative Microsoft making money of it.

If you want to look at contributions, look at kernel.org. It runs git log --oneline --author=<Author> in the backend.

And i'm not questioning the notability of anybody. Having wikipedia articles about hardworking people is better then many superstars/pornstars out there who don't contribute anything meaningful to society. AbdulRahim2002 (talk) 10:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The github repo is just a mirror, so all commits to kernel.org appear there too, no extra account needed. I was just avoiding a git checkout of the kernel repo. It is up to you, the article author, to crunch the numbers and update your article accordingly. No casual reader is verifying the claim with a git checkout.

Oh, and pornstars are hard working too, no disrespect on my talk page please. Arved (talk) 11:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
