Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. feydey 20:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Alam Khan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alam Khan.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 20:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Alam Khan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alam Khan.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so please also include the source of the image; in most cases the website where you found it.

Please signify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 20:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Aashish Khan 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Aashish Khan 01.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. 20:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Bahadur Khan

May I ask why you removed the {{tone}} template from Bahadur Khan? The article is obviously not written in a neutral tone. — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc|damage report} 16:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hello there megh malhar If you need verification on Vasant Rai's site! you will find it on his website and Ira Landguartens article on Frets magazine june 1981 issue. Also on Ravi Shankar's interview by Richard Bock thanks

VASANT RAI

ok megh malhar!!! get one thing straight!!!!!!!!!! AASHISHDA NEVER puts ustad before his name!!!! he himself tells concert organizers NOT to put to put UStad!! now stop putting your 2 cents in topics you dont know about. Oh btw Im Ashishdas student, just incase you might ask how i know this!!!! stop vandalizing other peoples work, how will you like it if i start to do the same to the contributions you have made. I wouldnt do the same as i am a more mature person than you! anjana patel ==

Hello Ms Anajana Patel There are better ways to discuss Ms Anjana. Well, I certainly dont know if Aashish Khan does write Ustad or not. But he certainly does not write Pandit (but you wrote Pandit before his name!!!). As a media person working in Indian capital and UK, I am fully aware that neither does Aashish Khan writes Pandit. But even if he does not write Ustad, people have the right to say him Ustad. You should not write Pandit Aashish Debsharma however!!! Neither is that a symbol of maturity. There are some great people from India in whose lives "everybody" should not interfere, may one be their student or anybody. Do you get the point now? I hope you do. Cool down and be responsible. I am sure you have not come here to fight!!! Neither do I. I am a busy media person. But my only responsibility is to check truths. Best wishes from MeghMalhar 10:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
