[edit] Jaffna (City)

Please stop. If you continue to blank or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Jaffna (City), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.-- ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♪  (Ŧ) 17:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply.I removed only Particular lines as it was wrong amd required a [citation needed] sorry if if it against policy.further i feel Controversial content should be backed by citation thanks harlowraman

  • Thanking you for participation as the fellow Wikipedian. Please do not remove contents, from the article Jaffna (City). You cannot hide facts by just removing them. Historical facts are facts which cannot be hidden just by removing. If you continue to do so, as already warned by User:Lahiru_k, I will left with no option than refering you to be blocked. --Sechzehn16Talk 20:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your message and I assume good faith as of WP:AGF and as a fellow Wikipedian, you'll get accustomed to the formalities and procedures here. Wishing you the best and looking forward for more contributions from you to Wikipedia. --Sechzehn16Talk 23:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Harlowraman, I would like say something about the reply you had kept for my warning message. You do not edit the warning message there itself when you reply for it. You actually do not have the right to edit any message kept in anyone's talk page. I know that you did it simply because you do not have much knowledge of it since you are new. This normally happens and do not worry about it much. Anyway, I hope you will do it properly next time with your replies and also you should sign at the end of your message. Do feel free to ask me regarding any problem and I will happy help you. Happy editing!!! ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♪  (Ŧ) 04:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PTR

  • His name is Palanivel Rajan spelt Palanivel not Palianivel as in P. T. R. Palianivel Rajan.Secondly his father was P. T. Rajan who also a ex chief minister which could led to confusion and in the press and media he is known as Palanivel Rajan hence redirected the page to Palanivel Rajan. thanks Harlowraman
Thanks Harlowraman. It should be P. T. R. Palanivel Rajan then. That's how he's known most in Madurai. Also, that's per WP:MOS. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:53, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I've moved it to P. T. R. Palanivel Rajan. Thanks for pointing out, didn't notice the error before. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Note from Editor's Desk
  • Welcome. It has been weeks and months since the idea of newsletter was mooted among the WikiProject India Community. This would be our first full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us.
  • This is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips here.

This edition special
  • Cartography Department (Shortcut:WP:INMAP): The Department of Cartography within the WikiProject India is a group of wikipedians who work on providing quality maps related to India. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in SVG format. The location maps by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The Indian Roadways map is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 districts in India (see List of districts of India), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Wikipedia to be India-related!

[edit] Re:help needed regarding images

(IANAL)The following is my understanding of the image copyright policy here. Anyone else reading this message, please feel free to correct any discrepancies.

"For [a] famous personality, in the absence of a free-alternative, if the image is irreplaceable (the person is dead or the person is involved in an event that won't happen again), you could use a fair-use licensing. Stamps are not allowed. An image simply showing what the person looks like is not allowed."

Before uploading a fairuse image, make sure it satisfies all the points on Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. Also read Wikipedia:Fair_use#Counterexamples.

So you can take a picture on the internet, and upload it as fair-use with rationale on English Wikipedia. Uploading it as anything else is a copyright violation and the image will get deleted. For example [[:Image:M karunanidhi 20060526.jpg]], ==Source== Source: http://www.tn.gov.in/tnassembly/mkarunanidhi.htm (Governement of Tamil Nadu) ==Licensing== {{fair use in 2|M. Karunanidhi|List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu}} ==Fairuse in [[List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu]] and [[M. Karunanidhi]]== {{Template:India-politician-photo}} In the above, the rationale is explained with the use of a template since we have thousands of photos taken from the Indian state or central government pages. Striked out much of this because all politician images are getting deleted soon. The same can be done with any other source, by explaining the rationale in plain text like in Image:Ritwik ghatak.jpg.

== Summary ==
{{Information
|Description=[[Ritwik Ghatak]], [[India]] (1925- 1976)
|Source=[http://www.satyajitray.org/links/indian_cinema.htm Satyajitray.org]
|Date=October 03, 2006
|Author=<font color="navy">[[User:Ganeshk|Ganeshk]] ([[User talk:Ganeshk|talk]])</font> 21:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
|Permission=Fairuse
|other_versions=
}}

== Licensing ==
{{fairusein|Ritwik Ghatak}}

==Rationale for use in [[Ritwik Ghatak]]==
* it illustrates the person in question, 
* it is a historically significant photo of a famous individual, 
* in the absence of a free alternative, 
* the image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright, 
* its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the articles

When uploading a image, leave the license combo box as None. After the upload is complete, edit the image page and add the full text (summary, licensing and rationale). I would stick to 1 fair-use picture per article.

So for all copyrighted pictures, use fairusein templates and add a fairuse rationale. For fair-use images, I wouldn't mind if someone comes by, feels fair-use does not apply and deletes the image. I usually do not contest those. But if you do all the above, there a fair-chance of the image staying.

You should treat any image that is not explicitly released per GDFL/creative commons, as a copyrighted image.

Pictures on the internet that have been released under GDFL/creative commons can be uploaded to Commons so that other language Wikipedias can use the same.

As soon as a free-image is available, the fair-use image must be deleted.

Hope the above helps. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 20:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Karunanidhi111.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Karunanidhi111.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

You claim permission, but the website claims "Copyrights © 2004-2005 Sun Network. All rights reserved." For reference, I believe you were referring to Sun TV (India) Dgies 02:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

No I am using a screenshot of the arrest.This was telecast across all television channels .Copyright is for the programmes.Please correct if i am wrong .I am using just images from the arrest taken from television.Harlowraman
Copyright applies both to the program, and to every single frame of that program. TV screenshots are fair use when discussing the TV program itself, not for articles about the subject of the program. For example, a CNN screenshot of George Bush would be fair use in an article about CNN, but would nto be fair use in an article about George Bush. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use or Template:Tv-screenshot. -- Dgies 03:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.I have removed the image .Now SUN TV is owned by the Maran family and Karunanidhi .Harlowraman

[edit] Hi

Hi my friend. Most of your edits I think were excellent so WELL-DONE- Good Job. But the Nawar Singh has been expelled from the Congress for illegal activities such as the corruption for UN oil for food program. He has big problem with Congress including Mrs Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and other congress leader because they did not hide the corruption done by him so putting anything up by him is POV and potentially libellous we don't want the Indian government sueing Wikipedia and us. And the wording should be encyclopedic none emotional. But everything else you did excellent so WELL-DONE.--Indian50 04:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume I, Issue 3 - December 2006

Project News
  • Name change of cities in Karnataka: A straw poll was conducted on the proposal to change the name of cities in Karnataka, per the Nov 1, 2006 decision by the Karnataka government to rename them from the current anglicised forms. The result of the poll was to change the names. As controversial as the decision may be in the real world, the article Bangalore in Wikipedia still reflects the old name. You may be interested in knowing why. Dig the archives.
  • New Project Noticeboard (Shortcut:WP:INB): WikiProject India now sports a new colourful centralised noticeboard. An effort to make the noticeboard current and dynamic was mooted a few days back, and Ganeshk came up with the new format. The new noticeboard will strive to be the one-stop shop for all project related information. The shortcut is WP:INB.
  • Members List: The old members list is being phased out to give way for the new members list. New members are requested to add their names to the new members list. As the newsletter grows, further issues of the Project Newsletter will be delivered to those enlisted in the new list. So dash down now, to check if ur name is in there.

[edit] Re: NPOV I am surprised Hereditary Education Policy

I am see you have contributed a lot to Wikipedia and you a regular patroller of Wikipedia.WELL DONE.It is due to efforts of people like you that the site runs .THANKS A LOT.Yesterday my talk Harlowraman was vandalised by someone asking me to delete this article which I felt was wrong.He simply wants the article removed.I have asked the person who vandalised this page 9 times including 3 times today. To do a positive edit by describing your point of view regarding the Educational system reforms of Rajaji between 1952-1954 which includes Kula Kalvi thittam and not Negative edits ie by removing content.Please provide his point of view with citations.He has not added a word only deleted contents 6 times.It is in the Notice board for India-related topics ,why raise NPOV now ?.The person vandalising it has no knowledge about Educational system reforms of Rajaji between 1952-1954 and just wants to vandalise it.Why add NPOV ?Actually I have asked for protection for the page.It seems to reward him.Further I believe only if there is libellous content or if someone with knowledge of Educational system reforms of Rajaji between 1952-1954 raised any objection.which I feel is not there in this article.Please correct me if I am wrong,I would welcome it. Further The official government site is http://www.tn.gov.in/government.htm .The offical government site is not updated before the 1990's.You can check this by visiting the site. hence not able to give government references.Harlowraman 13:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Haha, man... I'm just an RC Patroller that happened to run across your page. About all I'm doing is trying to get it some help now. I have no knowledge of Indian topics so I can't really contribute to the NPOV discussion or judge on content, which is why I'm hoping the post on the Indian related topics noticeboard will help. Anyway, best of luck sorting all that out. – Lantoka (talk) 18:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography

I'm afraid that having just positive edits to a biography violates WP:NPOV. If the person is adding credible cited information, it can remain on the article. Thanks! =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you fully that the problem that the information is libellous and without any citation.I fully agree Positive edits with credible cited information is should be added and both points of view should be allowed.My question was about libellous content withour citation Harlowraman 08:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
