Replaceable fair use Image:B_Mishra.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:B_Mishra.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 07:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:A jaitley.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:A jaitley.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Shell ^babelfish 06:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Gomti logo small.jpg

⚠
Thanks for uploading File:Gomti logo small.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

"Wikify"

Do you know what "to wikify" means? To format using Wiki markup (as opposed to plain text or HTML) and add internal links to material, incorporating it into the whole of Wikipedia. And I disagree that quite short start-class articles need a substantial lead section (besides, it already has one as long as it says "xxx xx (born xxx xx xxx) is a xxx xxx"). Geschichte (talk) 10:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. I thought it meant formatting. I'm learning.. -- LogicDictates (talk) 10:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cheonan

So I've radically trimmed down the stuff you added to ROKS Cheonan sinking for two reasons:

I wasn't real happy with most of the sources; a bunch was ultimately from Wayne Madsen, who I don't trust as a reliable source. I chose what I thought was the most reliable and NPOV of the sources, and left it in as a reference for what I left in
The amount of stuff added, in my opinion, weighted the article too far towards the Chinese claims, which led to the entire thing ending up in violation of NPOV.

I trimmed it down to what I thought were the most important points, and moved the resulting paragraph into the "speculation on cause" section, as I thought it fit best there. Please don't hesitate to ask at either my talk page or the article's if you have any questions. Cheers, C628 (talk) 17:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given that you've trimmed it down to a very small paragraph, I'm not sure it qualifies as a NPOV. I would think for an article to qualify as a NPOV, both sides should be able to express the full content of their "evidence". In the end, no matter how many sources there are, they all will end up with the root source that is the intelligence leak from the Chinese Navy. I had provided 3 sources pointing to this leak. Have a look at the article, the vast majority says the N.Koreans did it, with a tiny paragraph saying otherwise. How neutral does it look to you? There are a lot of people in South Korea who don't believe the official story. There is a reason for this, one of them is possibly the Chinese version. I would urge that you expand it further if not the whole lot! -- LogicDictates (talk) 09:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thing is, though, at least two of those sources you provided ultimately came from a distinctly NPOV and unreliable source, Wayne Madsen. Both the Online Journal and Children of Cyprus articles credit him for the writing, and I personally don't trust him to be either reliable or NPOV, and when there's articles that don't have him as the source, I'd much rather use them, and that's what I did. I'd disagree with your assessment that "the vast majority says the N. Koreans did it;" there's not a ton on the results of the investigation there, and I think since it's the generally accepted cause of the sinking, it makes sense that there'd be more on that; so far, the Chinese claims are more of a fringe theory. I'll try to get another paragraph into it, but not more then that, and I'll also make a note about it at the talk page; there'll be more eyes there, I think. Cheers, C628 (talk) 12:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have to leave soon, so I won't have time to write the stuff in the article, but I will make a quick note at the talk page so more people can see it. Cheers, C628 (talk) 12:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Takshashila Institution

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Takshashila Institution, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://takshashila.org.in/about/mission.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Re:Would like some help.

Hi - I have commented on the AfD, but I just wanted to advise you to never to take deletion proposals personally. I know it can sting (I've experienced it myself), given the effort and dedication one puts in. One can get some useful constructive criticism from this, which will help you as an editor in the long run. Thanks, Shiva (Visnu) 21:19, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, consider WP:DYK for any articles you create or substantially expand. Its a cool way to get your work on the main page :) Shiva (Visnu) 21:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the nominator forgot to add the page to the log, which I have now rectified. Shiva (Visnu) 23:24, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:GSLV Mk2D3 Cryo Engine.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GSLV Mk2D3 Cryo Engine.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need to explain in detail WHY it's used in the relevant article :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft accidents

There is no need to cover every minor incident on Wikipedia. I've reverted your edit to Air India as all three incident fail the WP:AIRCRASH guideline. Mjroots (talk) 08:03, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
