Thanks very much for the welcome. I am looking forward to making this page as good as possible, then maybe contributing more as I learn more about Wikipedia. Three questions, if you have time:
1. Is "Jubb Yussef (Joseph's Well)" a good title for this page? When you enter Jubb Yussef or Joseph's Well in the Wikipedia search box, you get "no page with that title exists", and then a list of possible matches, where it does actually appear. Whereas if you enter "Joseph" you get a disambiguation message, which is more inviting visually. Should I (and can I?) rename it Joseph's Well? Jubb Yussef is a transliteration, so it is problematic for people using the English Wikipedia: you can also find Jub as well as Yusuf, Yusef, Yusaf etc on the Web.
2. This is kind of related: how do I add Jubb Yussef to the Category page "Archeological sites in Israel", which is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Archaeological_sites_in_Israel ? It isn't a straightforward edit, I guess Category pages are different, or this site is one that is controversial and so has some extra security? Is there a kind of administrator for this category?
3. Finally, why does my signature add "Andrewfwilson" after (UTC)? I don't see any reason for this in my Preferences.
Thanks again. Andrew 20:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Andrewfwilson
and a little bit later: after I noticed that a bot had drop in a un-categorized message at the bottom of the page, I tried to add the line [[Category:Archaeological sites in Israel]] but it didn't work, not sure why. I even looked at other pages, like
Tel Hazor and just copied the category there and pasted into Jubb Yussef, but it didn't work, or at least it didn't show up in the preview. What am I doing wrong?
Aha! That's the answer: it doesn't show up in a preview or the sandbox like a norma edit! But it's done now. Whew.... So I no longer need to ask about question 2. Andrew 21:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Andrewfwilson Andrew 21:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Andrewfwilson
Welcome again, hopefully I can answer some of your questions.

Thanks for uploading Image:Floorplan of the khan at Jubb Yussef.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 20:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind note. (Just a lttle technical: it is normal to leave a new message on the *bottom* of the talk -page ...No big deal, though..I´ll move it..)
Also for future reference: it is best to keep discussions about a specific article on that articles talk-page, in this case: Talk:Jubb Yusuf...so that future editors will know what has been discussed about the article.
As to the Khalidi-quote: I will try to recheck this: but remember, in general he writes about the structures which now are on the grounds which was under the village juristriction. And in the case of the villagers of Jubb Yusuf; they had *huge* areas belonging to them. (I was just in a very similar discussion over at Talk:Nes Harim.)
Also, we need to discuss what should go into *which* article, wrt Jubb Yussef (Joseph's Well) and Jubb Yusuf. Normally it has been that *all* Muslim-time-history goes into the latter article: compare Belvoir Fortress (Israel) and Kawkab al-Hawa.
Also, I am not sure if you are aware that *a lot* of old books have come online, for free, in the last few years. Only last year we got SWP online. Take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Palestine/Books. I´ts nice to point/have a direct link when we quote old books.
Anyway; as you understand: I haven´t really gotten around to cleaning up/editing the Jubb Yusuf-article yet, but I will certainly keep your objections in mind when I do.
Oh, and I think it was you who found the Fauzi Al Qawuqji- memoirs? An exellent find! I had no idea that they were online. Regards, Huldra ( talk) 21:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
As of late 2012 the English language Wikipedia has over 4.1 million articles, and Wikimedia's image library Commons has nearly 15 million images.
Much of the time the people who write articles will add appropriate images, but in a volunteer based project where everyone chooses their own tasks we sometimes find things that get forgotten.
So we now are producing lists of articles that don't have images but for which images may be available.
Wikipedia:Articles with UK Geocodes but without images is a list produced by computer of articles about things in the UK, these are articles without images, but because they are in the UK we probably have images if anyone looks.
To add an image to an article.
Congratulations! you've just transformed a Wikipedia article.
On the lower left part of the screen you will see a list of other languages that we have that article in, usually we won't have images in that language either. Feel free to add images to other language versions of Wikipedia, but please leave the caption and alt text blank unless you can write them in that language.
For example you might have a waterfall in spate and in drought and you want to put both images side by side
You can do this with the following code:
<gallery>
file:photograph 1.jpg|Caption 1
file:photograph 2.jpg|Caption 2
</gallery>
We need to remember people with slow connection speeds, so we only want images that illustrate something in the article. Sometimes we have several more images than we use and in those cases it is worth adding a link to the category on Commons.
You can do this by putting the following near the end of the article, usually in the see also section {{commonscat|category on Commons}} Just replace the words "category on Commons" with the name of the category on Commons (if the name is the same this parameter is not needed).

A tag has been placed on European Society of Pathology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from esp-pathology.org/about-esp/esp-history.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Emilia Prieto Tugores, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heredia ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for uploading File:The pit and cupola.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 03:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
