Fair use rationale for Image:Yamunadevi.jpg

Image:Yamunadevi.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 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.

Yamuna in Hinduism → Yamuna (goddess) – The article is basically about the goddess. It would be better to rename it as things will be easier to understand. .💠245CMR💠.•^👥📜 07:18, 14 January 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 20:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@245CMR: Article is good. Should i help you in moving this to Yamuna (goddess). - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 15:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I just wanted to other others suggestions. Please help in moving Ganga. .💠245CMR💠.•^👥📜 15:15, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soft oppose IMO, this article serves as a sub-article to Yamuna#Religious_significance. Goddess suffix may restrict the scope of the article to the personification of the river as a goddess, however significance of bathing in her waters or tales of Krishna with Yamuna as a river (not said to manifest as a goddess) may be deemed WP:OVERDUE. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 15:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz: I think that info of holiness can be included in section "Significance" or "In culture". .💠245CMR💠.•^👥📜 16:20, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on the whole - I'm far from sure that the best overall way to regard the Yamuna in Hinduism is as a "goddess". She was present and sacred in Hinduism rather before being thought of this way. Does she have any temples, apart from the one near the source? Johnbod (talk) 22:10, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I noticed that there's a lot of content in this article that's similar to this website [1]. Would this site be considered WP:MIRROR? Eucalyptusmint (talk) 14:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz: @Johnbod: @MRRaja001: would you have any thoughts on above? I had noticed that the website is copyrighted and wasn't sure which text was copied from where. I wanted to gather some thoughts here (if there are any), before proceeding to WP:CP noticeboard. Thank you. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 15:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eucalyptusmint most of the article is same since the DYK [2] in 2013. [3] is copyrighted 2019. However, I am a related party as the co-author. Non-neutral party. Leave it to the others to judge. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz: Based on your comments, I looked further into some of the other pages on the website and found some content there which was copied from other web sources. And based on that, I believe this section [4], atleast, is WP:MIRROR and WP:BACKWARDSCOPY. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it! Eucalyptusmint (talk) 01:16, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
