[edit] Welcome
Hello, Challiyan, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Deepu Joseph (a.k.a. thunderboltz). Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Provide an Edit summary
- Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
- Create a User page
Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - Just click here to leave me a message; or add {{helpme}} to this page.-- thunderboltz(Deepu) 08:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:ClassIwithcrossbite.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ClassIwithcrossbite.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. 14:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- വിപിന് ചേട്ടൊ, from your comments on the page, it seems you created this image yourself. If so, and if you wish to release the image under public domain, please add {{gfdl-self}} to the image page. Ping me if you need help. Meanwhile, if you are interested, please join WP:INDIA and WP:KERALA, two Wikiprojects aimed at developing Kerala related articles.--thunderboltz(Deepu) 18:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] re. Mamankam
The site omnipelagos.com is a Wikipedia mirror, as is clear from the disclaimer given at the bottom of the page. So I don't think it is necessary for us to worry about plagiarism. I will check up and do some translation from the Malayalam wiki during the weekend. I just saw the page. Good job on that. :-) --thunderboltz(Deepu) 14:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Hello sir, I noticed you recently uploaded two images (viz., Image:Sreesanth.jpg & Image:Kgbalakrishnan.jpg) with "Wikipedia Screenshot" as the license. Uploading a picture onto the Malayalam wikipedia and then taking a screenshot and posting its cropped version here will not void the image of its copyright status. Unlike the Malayalam wiki, the english wiki has very stringent rules regarding the images that are uploaded. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more. Hope you will take note of this in the future. Best regards,--thunderboltz(Deepu) 15:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
PS: It would be good if you could introduce these ideas on the Malayalam Wikipedia too. It will have to be taken care of sooner or later. Otherwise, the Wikipedia Foundation could be sued for copyright violations.
