License tagging for Image:Srp4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Srp4.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

  • If you took the photo, just say so and give it a {{GFDL}} tag. Incidentally on your blog: here are photographs of butt of Shradha Ram Phillauri at crossing of Nawanshar Phillaur. Please change "butt" to "bust"!! In American, "butt" means arse - which is not what you meant! -- 84.69.204.59 21:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the spelling correction. It will be done.

PROD

Based on your and another editor's input on Talk:Robert B. Wray, I have removed the PROD tag from Robert B. Wray, thereby removing it from the deletion process. It remains subject to consideration at WP:AFD. Please endeavor to wikify the article at your earliest convenience and create appropriate cross-references to the article in other articles (to de-orphanize it). --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Hemchandra Kanugo

A tag has been placed on Hemchandra Kanugo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

WikiProject India Newsletter, Volume IV, Issue 1 – June 2009

Project news
Congratulations to the West Bengal workgroup for having their flagship article featured on the Main Page! The Indian states workgroup is also involved in maintaining articles about India's states and union territories. »

WikiProject Indian roads was recently started as a new workgroup, to standardize and improve articles related to Indian roads, mainly the National and State Highways. After all, India has the second largest road network in the world.

Iravan, the son of Arjuna, is now our 85th good article. How do we know this? Since last year, more processes have been automated, increasing productivity. Article alerts update the project with what's happening to India-related articles, from copyright violations to featured article candidates.

To do…
During the last few weeks, peer reviews for the recent general election and 2003 Afro-Asian Games (held in Hyderabad) were opened and are waiting for more comments, as are several articles at the peer review department. Sikkim has been nominated for FAR, and Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay has been nominated for FAC. »

Currently, 11,081 Indian articles need images. Please improve these pages, especially if you enjoy photography! We look forward to more contributions from you. To get started, go to the noticeboard. »

From the editors…
The last newsletter was written a year ago. In June 2008, Indian Premier League was "hot" on Wikipedia, but the article about this year's IPL has attracted 477 editors, or 53% more than the previous year! Even the number of articles in the scope of our project jumped by a whopping 18,500+ articles in an year. The 3.2-year-old India quiz continues to attract old and new Wikipedians, so join in the fun!

Wikipedians are organizing a meetup in Bangalore on July 4 or 5. If you are interested, head over to the page and add your name! Topics of discussion include Indian language editions of Wikipedia and Wikimedia India.

RegentsPark, one of the prominent members of our project, was promoted to adminship this year. If you'd like to know who are the most avid editors of Wikipedia by number of edits, refer to this list.

"While this issue has been resolved, one asks the question – what happens when there is a conflict of opinions? What about a Wikipedia entry on India and Pakistan, or the LTTE and the Tamils? Who can edit? Will the information be true?" writes B. Narasimhan of MiD DAY as deeper implications of the Scientology arbitration case,1 reminding us of the core principles of verifiability and the neutral point of view.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Delhi statement

Hello! Can you please address the issues I tagged on that article you created. I am tagging in the hope that you can improve the article (so someone doesn't delete it for not having references). Thank you.Calaka (talk) 14:26, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem! I placed it in the History of India cat which should suffice for now (in time more cats will be added when people see the need for it). Note that I am in no way mean bad intentions when I placed those tags but rather were to help you with the writing process of wikipedia (click on the "wikify" tab to find out more on how to create better articles). Happy editing!Calaka (talk) 08:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Do not feel bad. I am rather appreciating your act. It is community development. Thanks once again. Keep in touch. sumir

Speedy deletion nomination of Ambikagiri Raychoudhury

A tag has been placed on Ambikagiri Raychoudhury requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Apropos, I do not think that it qualifies under Section A7. First of all the people who have already substantiated it, made the significance of the personality stand out for itself. Secondly, Ambikagiri Raychoudhury's role in freedom struggle of India is mentioned by numerous historians of repute. The only thing required is to substantiate the biography with verifiable facts. I repeat that it is not about a person or group merely to promote the name. He is a historic person. sumir

To do...
The articles that have been selected for our latest collaborations of the month are history of Mumbai, Indian Railways, rail transport in India, Indian general election, 2009 and telecommunications in India. We need your help to improve them!

These India-related articles are currently on featured article review: Kerala (FAR), Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (FAR) and rail transport in India (FAR). Would you allow these articles to lose their FA status?

We look forward to more contributions from you. To get started, go to the noticeboard. »
