Not sure what the issue could be regarding the photo of Maharshi Mehi on the Wiki page about Maharshi Mehi. My impression is there's no copyright problem with this particular photo, apparently released to the public years ago. In this case I'm quite sure fair use does apply. But just to indulge this further, what degree of proof of this would be required? A letter from this particular ashram stating there's neither objection to its useage at Wikipedia and, in writing, a statement to the effect it's from a non-copyrighted ashram publication? And whatever the standard of verification might be, is it it applied equally to all photos on every Wikipedia page? It would be good to know, as photos can greatly compliment an article, and in many cases copyrights are less of a big deal with some Buddhist, Hindu, or Jain type spiritual groups based in India. Sad if public domain type photos are removed for no good reason. SantMat (talk) 04:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My comments here also apply to the other photos mentioned on this page, as they are no doubt from the same Maharshi Mehi Ashram sources. SantMat (talk) 04:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Am reviewing Wikipedia guidelines on submitting and documenting images. Will work on this soon so the Mehi page can get its photos back. SantMat (talk) 10:11, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the entry is not "Mehi"

[edit]

Even as it would not be proper or accurate to redact a page entry about Martin Luther King Jr. and rename the entry as simply "King", why redact the name Maharshi Mehi Paramhans and only refer to him as "Mehi", editing out references to his name. Makes no sense.Santmatradhasoami (talk) 20:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC) We don't need to re-name or alter the names of public figures, including those in Indian history.

If anybody is reading this (?????), I would like to protest the page vandalism that took place recently, changing the url of the page from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharshi_Mehi to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehi setting up a redirect to the last-name-only "Mehi" url. I'm not a regular page editor at Wikipedia and am not sure about making all the repairs to the page. For instance, the photo on the page just is last-name-only "Mehi" instead of Maharshi Mehi or Maharshi Mehi Paramhans. I do protest any erasing of the original url https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharshi_Mehi The person that did this MADE NO COMMENTS AS TO WHY THEY DID IT, or why they edited out part of this individuals' name.
