[edit] Marathi Language Dwindling Nos

  • "considering the dwindling number of students opting for Marathi-medium schools."
    • I belive "increase in preference for english medium schools" would be a better sentence. Because although in middle class preference for English medium schools is increasing ,it will not affect in absolute percentage terms because of most of rural and poor population is much dependant on Govt. run Marathi Medium schools only;and their population is ever increasing

I have reverted to your version. I initially thought you had a unicode problem on your computer. Apologies for the revert. -- Ganeshk (talk) 16:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fighting for nothing!

Hey thanks for that wikistress link! I had got this revelation long back when i read some articles about wikipedia on web including those which criticise it. Unfortunately few editors take it too personally and seriously and i really pity on them (and this aint sarcasm!).As u can see on belgaum page I was ready to remove the citation if no one's contesting my edit but these guys were blabbering and fighting for no reason!!

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Melissa Theuriau.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Melissa Theuriau.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 {{fairusein|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. Yamla 15:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Melissa Theuriau.JPG

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Melissa Theuriau.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images 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. Yamla 15:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Melissa Theuriau.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Melissa Theuriau.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Yamla 15:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
