Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Nmentha! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic Acid 01:27, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you (Nmentha 01:30, 19 August 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Baha'i template

I noticed you were adding and changing the Báha'í template. I just wanted to say that it was a problem bothering me for a long time, how to work with having a picture on the top of the page, and the template.

I like what you did on the Báb's page. and I tried something new on the International Teaching Centre page. there's a third option on the main Baha'i Faith page, but you have to look at the source because there's code on how to align the pictures.

keep up the good work Cuñado - Talk 10:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry for kinda backing up all your hard work, but I think having a bunch of small pages, when things can fit into one big page is better. Also, while we can quote a little bit in the pages to prove a point, Wikipedia is not a place to load the content of books. -- Jeff3000 02:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was not exactly what I was planning to do, check my comments on the Summons page. Nmentha 02:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Cic-am2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cic-am2.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}}.

Please signify the copyright information 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. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 08:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the copyright status to "Attribution" in which it is attributed to Hossein Amanat. Nmentha 00:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hi Nmentha, would you have any pictures of the World Centre that you have taken yourself that you could upload at commons.wikimedia.org on a free license? Regards, -- Jeff3000 04:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Some Answered Questions.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Some Answered Questions.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 11:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bwcongress63.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bwcongress63.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. Rossrs (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Bahai administration 2006.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Bahai administration 2006.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 22:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:HaifaPilgrimCenter.jpg listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:HaifaPilgrimCenter.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:40, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The availability of a replacement (where a free photo can still be taken) isn't really relevant to the deletion process. There also isn't really any sort of grandfathering that exists. The old image page description ("Seems that author provides free access to public domain and offers for free use through website.") is not sufficiently concrete. Could you contact the copyright holder for an explicit rights release? See WP:CONSENT and WP:OTRS for the process of verification of permission. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We actually also have a replacement as well, which is suitably licensed. See File:NewPilgrimHouse.jpg, which is in use in the article Pilgrim House. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:FirstUHJ.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:FirstUHJ.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:37, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
