Symbolic Depiction of Abbas ibn Ali in Removed ArtworkI’d like to respectfully clarify the rationale behind the faceless depiction of Abbas ibn Ali in the removed artwork. The image was intentionally designed without eyes or detailed facial features to align with Shia Islamic visual ethics, which generally discourage fully illustrating the faces of sacred figures—especially members of the Ahl al-Bayt. The artist, Muntadher Saleh (a Shia polymath and visual artist), follows this tradition, using symbolism over realism. The absence of facial details is not a flaw but a deliberate choice to reflect spiritual transcendence, inviting viewers to connect with the divine virtues Abbas represents—loyalty, courage, and sacrifice—rather than his physical traits. This style is commonly used in respectful religious art within Shia communities. It avoids anthropomorphizing revered figures while still honoring their memory. In this context, the facelessness is what adds reverence, not ambiguity. Therefore, I kindly suggest that the image be reconsidered for inclusion. It is culturally and religiously appropriate, and it adds a valuable visual and interpretive dimension to the article, especially from the Shia perspective. Thank you for your consideration. 004bvan (talk) 06:03, 5 July 2025 (UTC) Page ReviewDraft:Farhan Ul Arshad Zona2 (talk) 08:30, 5 July 2025 (UTC) Problem IPComing from this, they restored their unsourced version and added similar in other articles.

You didn't readRead: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30035979 The US M9A1 rocket launcher is an example of the weapon type commonly known as the 'B'azooka'. The name was taken from a homemade musical instrument played by American comedian Bob Burns, which an experimental model of the launcher was said to resemble. The first 'B'azooka' to be adopted by the US Army was the M1, which entered service in 1942. The M9A1 is a later development with a two piece tube that permitted disassembly for ease of transportation. In common with German rocket-propelled anti-tank munitions, the 'Bazooka' employed hollow-charge warheads. Hollow charge munitions rely upon the generation of a jet of molten metal to penetrate their target. Their performance is therefore unaffected by range or velocity and they can be relatively light in weight. The M9A1 had a maximum range of 640m, and its rocket propelled munition could penetrate 120mm of armour. It is NOT about instrument, it is NIT about colloquial "bazooka" as any handheld rocket launcher neither. 94.246.147.217 (talk) 17:09, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
So why is there Challenger tank and not "challenger"? And any and evey other capitalized weapon name, including the German improved Bazooka copy Panzerschreck? 94.246.147.217 (talk) 17:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
The Bazooka is the M1 and the M9A1 (improved Bazooka), the Super Bazooka is M20 (very different model, incompatible). Just like I linked you, I even quoted for you, still still didn't read. 94.246.147.217 (talk) Here you have another example: https://www.pacificwarmuseum.org/visit/exhibits/artifacts/m9a1-bazooka 94.246.147.217 (talk) 17:31, 7 July 2025 (UTC) User you may want to peek at...Might make sense to look at Xada23 in the CU context of Liamalexander444 (see Talk:Poodle).

I am his granddaughter and have significant information and insight about this gentleman. I donated the families photos that were taken during his lifetime and my father's lifetime to the Provincial Archives of Alberta. These photos were not necessarily taken by Charles Eymundson and he was not "known" for photography as they were not released until 2012, after my father Romeo passed away. Charles worked for the Eau Claire lumber Company,(per Charles), but Charles, nor the PAA State that he was a lumberjack. I have not found any documentation to support this, however, in and it is not cited correctly on Wikepedia. Who ever uploaded the original, made assumptions. If you can cite the "lumberjack" job please and the citation to the article. If you read the biographical sketch and custodial history on the Provincial Archives of Alberta, that I wrote, you will understand that I did, cite the PAA Hermis.

There are few case reports of the causative organism being M. avium complex or other species in the same genus. I prefer not to include them as causative organism of TBVC, since it's a rare cause for a rare disease. In clinical practice, diagnosis of TBVC requires ruling out so many other conditions. 117.193.149.241 (talk) 06:44, 1 August 2025 (UTC) Gedo SomaliaDear Wikipedia Administrators and Editors, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out in regard to a recent edit I made to the Wikipedia page about the Gedo region in Somalia. I changed the classification of Gedo from being a regional administrative division under Jubaland to a federal member state in formation. This edit was reverted, and I would like to respectfully appeal that decision by providing further context and justification based on recent political and administrative developments within Somalia. ### Background: Gedo, while historically recognized as one of the regions within Jubaland, is currently at the center of a significant political realignment in Somalia. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) has, in recent months, asserted direct administrative and military control over the region, particularly in the town of Beled-Xaawo. This move follows ongoing disputes between the federal authorities and the Jubaland administration regarding the legitimacy and governance of Gedo. As of recent reports (mid-2025), the Somali federal government has: - Dispatched federal security forces to Gedo, particularly Beled-Xaawo, removing regional Jubaland forces. - Appointed new federal-level officials, including a regional NISA commander, without coordination with Jubaland. - Publicly stated, through government channels and allied media, that it does not recognize Jubaland’s claim over Gedo. - Actively explored the possibility of formalizing Gedo as a federal member state in its own right, in line with growing regional demands and the political climate. ### Why the Edit is Justified: My edit reflects the **ongoing political transition** and current **factual control** of Gedo by the federal government. The status of Gedo as a "region under Jubaland" is no longer uncontested, and therefore the Wikipedia entry should reflect the **disputed and dynamic reality** rather than present it as a settled matter. This change was not made as an act of personal opinion or original research, but rather based on: - Official statements from the Federal Government of Somalia. - Reliable news coverage from Somali media and international sources. - Direct military and administrative actions by the Somali government on the ground. I would be happy to provide citations and references from credible sources to support this update, including: 1. [Caasimada.net - Federal Government explores new Gedo strategy](https://www.caasimada.net/xog-df-oo-kala-dooraneysa-3-tallaabo-oo-kiiska-jubaland-ay-ku-wajihi-karto) 2.

Please advise me on any format requirements or additional references you may need to validate this change. I am committed to ensuring that the information on Wikipedia remains neutral, verifiable, and in line with Wikipedia's core content policies. Thank you very much for your time and understanding. Sincerely, Xaliimo123 (talk) 11:31, 5 August 2025 (UTC) GedoHello @Materialscientist, Thank you for your message and for your attention to the edit I made regarding the Gedo region. I understand and respect Wikipedia’s policy on avoiding original research. Please note, however, that the changes I made were not based on personal opinion or unsourced speculation. They reflect a current and well-documented political reality in Somalia, where the Federal Government has publicly declared and enforced administrative control over the Gedo region, particularly in Beled-Xaawo, and has explicitly distanced itself from recognizing Jubaland’s authority over the area. To avoid misunderstanding, I am gathering a list of reliable sources that directly address this federal position and the evolving status of Gedo. These include government statements and widely cited news outlets within Somalia. For example: - [Caasimada.net – Federal Government exploring new Gedo administration strategy](https://www.caasimada.net/xog-df-oo-kala-dooraneysa-3-tallaabo-oo-kiiska-jubaland-ay-ku-wajihi-karto) - [Goobjooge.net – Federal forces take control of Beled-Xaawo](https://www.goobjooge.net/wararkii-ugu-danbeeyay-ee-gedo-c-rashiid-janan-oo-ka-laabtay-beled-xaawo-ciidamada-dowladda-oo-la-wareegay) - [Shabelle Media – Fighting after NISA reshuffle in Gedo](https://shabellemedia.com/dagaal-culus-oo-ka-dhacay-beled-xaawo-kadib-markii-la-keenay-taliyaha-cusub-ee-nisa-gedo) These articles reflect concrete actions by the federal government and a shift in administrative control that should be acknowledged in the Gedo article, at minimum in a “Controversy” or “Dispute” section if full status change is not yet accepted. I will revise the content to better reflect these sources and avoid synthesis or speculative language. I appreciate your guidance and remain committed to contributing constructively to Wikipedia. Best regards, Xaliimo123 (talk) 12:36, 5 August 2025 (UTC) GedoDear Wikipedia Administrator, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully appeal the reversion of my recent edits to the Gedo Region Wikipedia article, which were reverted on the grounds of containing “original research.” I understand and fully respect Wikipedia’s policies on verifiability and the prohibition of unpublished material. However, I would like to clarify that my edits were based entirely on recent, verifiable, and reliable sources from July and August 2025, reflecting the ongoing political and military developments in the Gedo region—specifically the federal government’s control of Beled-Xaawo and related clashes with Jubbaland forces. To ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s sourcing standards, I have included multiple citations from reputable media outlets that document the following: The arrival of federal government-appointed security commanders in Beled-Xaawo. Armed conflict between federal and Jubbaland-aligned forces. Statements from the Somali federal cabinet confirming federal military presence in Gedo. Confirmation of control shifts in Beled-Xaawo and the political significance of these actions.

These articles explicitly verify the claims made in the updated version of the Gedo article, particularly the shift in administrative and security control over Beled-Xaawo, a topic highly relevant to the article’s subject matter. I respectfully request a review of the reversion and reconsideration of the content based on the verified sources provided above. I am also happy to revise any language or formatting issues to align with Wikipedia standards. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, (Full Direct Links – July & August 2025): 1.
