License tagging for File:Bridgman05.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Bridgman05.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) 00:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Women's literary salons and societies in the Arab World[edit]

On 9 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Women's literary salons and societies in the Arab World, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that because Arabic author Zaynab Fawwaz wore the niqāb, her husband acted as a messenger between her and the men attending her literary salon? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Nice work! It won't be updated for the day including its time on the main page until about a day from now, but this page will have stats on how many people saw the article during the DYK.

One thing you might do now is find appropriate places in other articles to link to this one. For example, the biographical articles that already exist would be good places, as well as general articles about literary salons and societies and articles about the relevant historical periods in the history of the Arab world.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 12:27, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the help and advice - I am most grateful, as I am new to Wikipedia. I will continue updating and expanding the article over the next week, so any other comments and suggestions are welcomed.Act25 (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Act25! It's a wonderful article you've written, really interesting to read. Congrats :) --Bryan P. C. C. (talk) 14:32, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

a magnificent job, and I urge you to continue with Wikipedia; even if you do not have the opportunity to do such major projects as this, there are many smaller ones whee you skill in writing and research are badly needed. DGG ( talk ) 08:56, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
