Copied from User talk:Chaswmsday#Question: Hi Chaswmsday. As a recent contributor to discussion on the WP:NOTADVERTISING policy, I was wondering if you could perhaps help clarify a related issue? Does including an image of a particular brand of a given country's main export constitute advertising (i.e. does it breach that policy)? I ask because an editor has suggested that adding this photo of Ethiopian Blessed Coffee brand bags by the Maryland state government as an example of Ethiopia's main export, coffee, is advertising. I believe the situation is little different from the Iran Khodro car photo that's included on the Iran article as an example of one of Iran's main exports, cars (c.f. [1]). The Manual of Style's WP:PERTINENCE sub-policy also seems to support the both commodity pics' relevance. Please advise. Best regards, Middayexpress (talk) 20:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC) As you may have noted from my discussions, I have some serious disagreements about proper content with the seemingly self-appointed "powers that be" within Wikipedia. That being said, your question is not one I've ever considered. My best hunch, at least at en.Wikipedia, is that such an image would probably be OK if it's in the public domain or similarly free (probably contatined in WikiMedia Commons), or licensed, as was the image you cited. I'm certainly no expert in this area. You may wish to enquire at Commons. Other than that, it's anyone's guess what the opinion of the "powers that be" here in en.WP might be... --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC) End copy --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:30, 5 January 2013 (UTC) Thanks. That's what I had thought. Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 17:33, 5 January 2013 (UTC) French Montana Do you mind reading WP:OVERLINK and then explaining this edit here? After you do that, a talkback template would be appropriately left on my talk page. Thank you. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC) Hi. A subject's ethnicity or nationality is commonly linked in the first sentence of blps (c.f. WP:OPENPARA). Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 16:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC) Hi. No it's not. It should be listed, but not linked. Also, "Ethnicity ... should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." And by "emphasized" it means discussed. Against that see WP:OVERLINK in which nations should not be linked. Particularly egregious is when there's a city or province/state linked immediately before it. In short, while many articles do link the country of a subject's birth or nationality, it should not be linked. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC) WP:OVERLINK doesn't appear to discuss nationality. WP:OPENPARA's Petrarch example is also linked accordingly. But point taken. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for January 8 Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Transport in Somalia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Transportation network (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I think it would be a great idea for Somali regions to have this template as it would be more convenient to look up related articles. 26oo (talk) 21:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC) Iman Left a response here.
