Help request

[edit]

what is COI ? me 11:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is a conflict of interest. You can read more about how it applies to Wikipedia here. Hope that helps. Vassyana 13:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Be aware that I'm less active on Wikipedia these days, but you can always send me an email too. --Fang Aili talk 14:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to adopt you, although it looks like you've already had an adoption offer above. Both of us can adopt you if you want. Walton Vivat Regina! 16:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, no problem. Two heads are better than one. :)
As your potential adopter, my first comment/suggestion would be to use a more standard signature. Sign as Athangjain and consider putting in a link to your talk page. This makes it easier for people to contact you (one click instead of two). Cheers, Fang Aili talk 18:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Bhavarlal Jain

[edit]

An editor has nominated Bhavarlal Jain, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bhavarlal Jain and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Hello Athangjain. You can't copy information from other places on the 'net and put them on Wikipedia. These are usually copyright violations and must be removed. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 20:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I will have to get back to you later tonight. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 16:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately it is still a copyright violation. You just added a few words here and there. I don't mean to be harsh, but here's what I suggest: read everything you can about him and try to remember what you have learned. Two days later, write an article. You will likely write differently than your sources. This way the information is in your own words, and not a copyright violation. Make sense? --Fang Aili talk 03:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanx for the help. i will try to do as you said but while the article is put up for deletion , is there anything i can do to improve it so that it doesnt get deleted ?

and how do you put the link to your talk page next to your signature ?

about the copyright vio , i really cant do much about it cuz its mainly facts .

anyways thanx.

Signatures

[edit]

About signatures, there's a lot of info at WP:SIG. But here's some quick directions:

  1. Go to "my preferences" (at the top right of the screen).
  2. In the signature box, insert [[User:Athangjain|]] ([[User talk:Athangjain|talk]])
  3. Make sure the "Raw signature" box is checked.
  4. Save.

That should do it. You can also play around (to a certain extent) with your signature. For example, I have my talk link raised a little, and green. The code looks like this:
[[User:Fang Aili|]] <sup>[[User talk:Fang Aili|<font color="green">talk</font>]]</sup>

Cheers, Fang Aili talk 16:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The facts in the article can be reorganized and worded differently so it's not a copyright violation. Even if it wasn't a copyvio it would need extensive work to improve it to an encyclopedic level. Wikipedia has several writing guides: check out How to write a great article for starters. --Fang Aili talk 16:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i was just going through random articles when i came around this one " jack eldridge" just check it out . i dont think it is encyclopedic content. Athangjain 14:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

When referring to a specific page, it's convenient if you link to it. Put the article name in brackets, like [[this]]. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 16:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What needs to be verified in this article? -- llywrch 20:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add a speedy delete request on an article just because the ProD has expired. After the prod has expired, an admin will take a look at it and decide to delete it immediately, keep it, or send it to WP:AFD. No extra action is needed for this, and the speedy delete tags should only be used in rather strict circumstances (see WP:CSD for more on this). It's not a big problem though, you obviously did it with the best intentions, but it's better if you don't do this. Fram 09:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Fram 13:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been edited. i hope its still not a copyvio. and how long is the Afd deletion discussion going to go on? Athangjain talk 13:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the copyvios have been removed or reworded into non-copyvios. Good work. :) AfDs run about 1 week (or more, depending on if it's backlogged). Based on the opinions so far, it looks like the article will be kept. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 19:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: help

[edit]

Athangjain talk 06:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it means how many characters have been changed since the last edit. So (-19) would mean a net loss of 19 characters. They are somewhat useful because you can see how "big" the change was, but if one paragraph was changed to a paragraph of equal length, it wouldn't tell you that. It only just shows the size change. So still manually check edits on your watch list. --Fang Aili talk 12:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy Athangjain, how's it going? Looks like you've been inactive lately. Maybe you're on vacation. I've been pretty non-active on the wiki lately too, but I wanted to check in with my coachees/adoptees. Have any questions/concerns/coaching aspirations? Feel free to email me if you like.

File permission problem with File:Bhavarlal Hiralal Jain.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Bhavarlal Hiralal Jain.jpg, which you've attributed to User:Jisl. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
