License tagging for Image:Sanjayamabd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sanjayamabd.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. 06:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Copyright violations

Harekrushna Mahatab

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Harekrushna Mahatab article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. utcursch | talk 05:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indian literature

We appreciate your contributions to the Indian literature article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. For this reason your edits have been reverted or removed. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the information in your own words. If you do, please remember to cite your source(s). For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Thanks. utcursch | talk 05:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:WDG-3a Shakti.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:WDG-3a Shakti.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 12:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Utkalgaurav.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Utkalgaurav.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:00Guntur division.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:00Guntur Division.JPG. The copy called Image:00Guntur Division.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 12:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Beriev Be-2500.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Beriev Be-2500.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We requires this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

Unspecified source for Image:00scr.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:00scr.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 17:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:00scr.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:00scr.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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 [[ Talk:Image:00scr.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Re: Guntur

The articles in wikipedia including Guntur article were not written in one day, they have been developed and coming for few years and by many individuals. And you suddenly decide to delete most of the relevant info. and categories with your whims is preposterous. Just now you have undone a reasonable and logical changes in 'Enternainment and Events' category (which should not have any private agency info. or names), what kind of constructive, sane contributions are you giving to Guntur article or other wikipedia articles. Atleast in Guntur article, what you have done is nothing but eliminating lot of important info., categories and pictures (placed properly per each category) and claiming that the artcile was already in sham. Hope you understand the concerns Gnt (talk) 13:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Re: Nandyal (Wikified the whole article)

Hi Abdaal, regarding your changes to page "Nandyal" on December 23 2009, I am quite surprised how you can remove so much information contributed by so many users just by tagging it as "Wikified the whole article". Can you please let the contributors of that page know what does "Wikified" mean when you removed most of the information in the Tourism section ? All the information about Nandis around nandyal, their pictures, was very much relevant to "Nandyal" page. If it was not relevant to this page, you should suggest what other page to include all that information. I agree there was lot of additional information, business listings which can be removed but the information specific to tourism and details of the important nandis should not have been removed. Please include the tourism section and nine nandis information back in the article. Also the segment which desribes the lake constructed in [Vijayanagara Empire] has some historical significance which should have been left unedited. Please revisit your changes.

Proposed deletion of Jehangir Kabir

The article Jehangir Kabir has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. joe decker ^{talk to me} 04:07, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
