Picture

I changed the picture to the normal non-edited version. It's clearer to see the city like that; not sure why there is a blurred one that doesn't look like as it does in the caption. If you get what I mean. Seriphyn 12:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:KowloonWalledCityplane.jpg

 

Image:KowloonWalledCityplane.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 05:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Needs better description

This article needs a better quantitative description of the city, i.e. location, size, dimensions, etc. It's written in a sort of anecdotal fashion. -67.67.15.123 (talk) 01:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Another "walled" city

We might consider adding Shibam city to the See also section. It looks like "walled" too and has the "stuffed" appearance as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mountleek (talkcontribs) 23:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
